Der Captured After Chase.


III. d. Summerfeld is under arrest
at the central police station charged
with the theft of q purse containing
pair of diamond earrings from Stella
Fremont, massage doctor rooming
on Wabasha street. near Federation
hail. The theft led to an exciting
chase on Wabasha street and the ar
rest of Summerdeld in the rear of
Twombley's salon by officers Paulson
and Zaeker.
Miss Fremont claims that Summer
field came to her room about o'clock
last evening. She stepped out into
another room for a moment and on her
return noticed that her purse contain
ing the earrings, which lay on the bu-
reau, Wa; missing. She went into the
hall to call help, she said, and Sums
merf1eld rushed out after her. She
caught hold of him and after a strug-
gle he broke away and ran down stairs.
In trying to get through the door he
broke the glass pane, cutting his hand.
Miss Fremont called for the police

loon to the rear hall. He was found

Mentone we should now be in prison
Indeed. we are prisoners here, as we
cannot yet leave Canton Geneva, but
it is a beautiful prison.
MY sole sorrow is that cannot have
news of my children. 1 have written
and telegraphed daily to Dresden for
word, but there comes no answer. 1t
is sad that because I was a princess
should be denied the right any other
woman in my circumstances could as
sert to see her children. 1 shall perse-
we're until at least that right is recog-
nized. 1t cannot be taken from me. It
is all [ ask of the crown prince
Regarding her jewels, the princess
said they are safe here in a bank. Gil
ron has paid the insurance and she
holds the receipt. The princess denied
other stories published. She said:
What strange things they put in
the papers about us-that we are nv-
ing 1uxuriously here, that am con-
stantly making expensive purchases in
the shops. 1t is untrue. AS you can
see, we live simply as we want to live
always henceforth."
The crown princess has been seen
only in two different dresses since her
arrival in Geneva. Both are Of the
plainest description. One was bought
in Geneva ready made at store on
Rue de Rhone. The pair are watched
with catlike stealth every time they
leave the hotel by Schwartze, a de-
tective from the Dresden royal palace,
who lives on the same floor He has
been warned by the Swiss authorities
that if he gives ground for complaint
he
he is careful to do his work as unos-
tentatiously as possible. He sits in his
room all day, with a door ajar COM
manding theirs. He telegraphs to Dres-
den each evening a report Of their
movements. It is said that he has a
warrant for their arrest to be served
Immediately they leave Geneva. The
princess has employed Advocate Lach-
enal, ex-president of Switzerland, as
the most eminent lawyer here. He
said today:
Under the Saxon law when a MEM
Der of the Saxon royal family commits
an offense against the family the au-
thority to decide whether a suit shall
be instituted rests exclusively with the
king. That is a grave matter for the
crown princess, as it places her abso-
lutely at the mercy of the king and the
royal family, who naturally are deeply
incensed against her. The marriage
will be dissolved, but on conditions the
least favorable to her. Giron, fear,
in his desire to place the facts before
the public in defense of the crown
princess, has been indiscreet. He has
talked too freely. AS the result of
statements attributed to him rejecting
on the crown prince he has received
threatening letters. The anonymous
threats disregard, but some signed
with the names of officers of the Saxon
army cannot be disregarded These
letters are of SO specific character
that Giron has obtained the authorize
ton Of the Geneva authorities to carry
a revolver to defend himself"

CATHOLICS WILL
COMBAT SOCIALISM
Systematic Campaign Will Be Opened
in Chicago Tonight.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-An extensive
campaign to combat socialism and to
instruct the workingmen and the pub
lie In general in the arguments and
teachings against it will be made in
this city by the Roman Catholic church
circles of both the 1aity and clergy.
The movement, which begins tomorrow
night, promises to be a bitter and per
sistent fight. The pulpit will be
brought into use to expound the doc
trine of the Catholic hurch against So
clalism. Mass meetings of Catholic
workingmen will be held, at which in
structions will be given in different
languages. In the parochial schools
the children will be taught that Chris
tan doctrine and socialism are incom-
patible.
The initiative in the general anti-so-
cialist campaign will be taken by the
Jesuits. German Catholic societies are
also in the fight and they want the
Jesuits to take charge of the entire
campaign, as they are best equipped
for the purpose. Rev Edward J. Glea-
son, S. j., one of the leading Jesuits
in this country, who occupies the chair
of philosophy and logic in the st. Ig-
natius Jesuit college, will open the
anti-socialist pulpit propaganda at the
Holy Family Jesuit church tomorrow,
night. Every Sunday night Father
Gleason will lecture. There will be a
question box placed in the church
where any one may deposit a question.
in writing which Father Gleason will
answer on the following Sunday.
Rev. George D. Heldmann, of the St.
Paurs Roman Catholic church, has an
nounced that both the pulpit and the
assembly rooms in the school hall will
be used for instructions against social
ism.

WOMEN TRY TO TONE
UP MORALS IN
GERMANY
Princesses and Other Women
of Royalty and Nobility
Undertake a Great Task
With Enthusiasm Unlim-
ited-Emperor's Sister to
Preside at a Meeting.
Special Cable to The Globe.

bEHL1N, Jan. 3.-Germany' morals
are to be purified. A society of high
born German women has undertaken
the task. Sixty-nine princesses have
made the vow that it shall be DONE
they will seek to establish institutions
for redeeming unfortunate fallen wom-
en-. Second, they will bring their social
influence to bear on men in high sta
ton to take up strong ground against
immortality. Two of the sixty nine are
the queens of Wurtemburg and Saxony
and thirty-five belong to the reigning
houses in various parts of Germany
The number of Royal highnesses, Sc
renities, high well-borns and excellen-
cles is most stimulating and doubtless
will tell on German public opinion.
These women are going about their
work in business fashion. Their first
meeting was held in Frankfort on-th
Main. Sixteen princesses were present
and twenty others sent representatives.
The proceedings, to which no man was
admitted, were prolonged. Judging
from the noise in the room the meeting
was animated and not infrequently
Ijocund. The princess of Waldeck-
Pyrmont presided The Duchess of
Urach is the secretary of the associa-
ton.
The next meeting was held at Cassel
and was better attended. One woman
said she was going to begin that very
day to influence her men friends to do
their utmost to change the prevalent
laxity of views. Another said she must
get to work at once among the hapless
women. She spoiled an otherwise ad-
mirable speech by reference to the
shocking morality of the ''Iower or
ders' and was speedily brought to
book. Every princess in the room ap-
plauded. Leading spirits at the Cas-
sci meeting were the Duchess Fred
erick Nerdin of Schleswig- -Ho1stein and
the Duchess of Ratibon, one of the
leaders of Berlin society. She is con-
stantly in Emperor Williams court and
exercises tremendous influence in mil
ftary circles.
The soul of the movement is the
Duchess Vera of Wurtemberg, the wife
of Duke Eugenef, a Russian princess
by birth. The next meeting will be in
Berlin and one of the emperor's sisters
will preside.

MISTAKES ACID
FOR MEDICINE
Mrs. John Devereaux Gets
Wrong Bottle and Dies
In Agony.

Mrs. George Devereaux, 269 Glen
coe street, died in frightful agony at
1910 this morning, five minutes after
drinking a quantity of carbolic acid,
taken by mistake.
Mrs. Deveraux and her husband
were about to retire when the wife
was taken with a fit of coughing.
dining room, and CROPPED in the dark
for the bottle Of cough medicine she
had been using. She knew the loca-
tiOn of the bottle and had no thought
of the phial of carbolic acid which
had stood on the same shelf since last
summer.
Mrs. Devereaux picked up the
wrong bottle, put it to her lips and
took draught, the fluid flowing
more freely than the cough medicine
she took a considerable amount of it.
Instantly she knew the mistake she
had made. She rushed into the din
ing room, placed the bottle on the ta-
BILE and sank into a chair, exclaim-
ing:
ooh, John, see what have done"
These were her last words. She
almost Immediately became frenzied
with agony and before the Mortified
husband realized what had happened
the woman was beyond aid.
When DR.. B. F. Simon, who was
summoned, arrived, Mrs. Devereaux
was dead.
John Devereaux, the husband, is
mail clerk. The couple were COM
fortably situated and perfectly hap
py. They had no children.
Coroner Miller said that no inquest
would be held, the case was obviously
one of accident. The remains Were
turned over to O'Halloran & MUIR

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. g.
special Commissioner I. H. Kinley. OF
Kansas City, appointed to take testi-
mony IN the custer proceedings of At
t0rney General Crow on the charge of
the existence of a beef trust, filed his
report IN the supreme court tonight.
1t nnds that the Armour Packing COM
pany, Nelson, Morris & Co., Swift e.
Co., the Hammond Packing company
and the SchWartschild & SuIzberger
company are guilty of entering into an
agreement to fix and maintain prices
1or the sale of dressed beef and pork
IN Missouri, not all of the companies.
however, operating in st. Joseph, Kan
saS city and st. Louis. 1t is set forth
that prices were fixed through agents,
managers and solicitors and MANY
times by managers of refrigerators in
these cities.
The Henry Krug Packing company.
or st. Joseph, was found not to have
been in the combination and conse-
quently the report will release it from
legal proceedings.
Regarding the findings as to meat
sold in St. Louis the report says:
Finds Guilt of Conspiracy.
'I find that Armour, Swift, Cudahv
and the Hammond Packing companies,
between Aug. 21, 1899, and May 9, 1902,
at 81. Joseph, were guilty of having
been parties to a combination, agree
ment, confederation and conspiracy to
fix, regulate, control and maintain the
liked or list price on dressed beef and
fresh pork sold through the respective
coolers in St. Louis to the butchers
trade and consuming public at that
place, and that they did so ask, sell
and receive the price so fixed from
said butchers for such dressed beef and
fresh pork sold to them.
"They. cannot plead that the man.
ayers of the coolers and city solicit
tors who carry on the business for
them did it without their knowledge
and consent. The local agents Of the
dressed beef companies did it and all
knew it and their knowledge is the
knowledge of their companies and their
acts are the acts of their companies.
1t appears from the evidence and I
find that the corporations who are the
defendants at st. Joseph, St. Louis and
Kansas City sell and offer to the trade
at each point from 55 to 80 per cent
Of the dressed beef handled and from
so to so per cent of the dressed pork"

MAY PROCEED TO EX-
TREMES WITH
CHINA
Powers Insist Upon Payment
of the Indemnity in Gold.
Which Causes Concern in
Washington---Attem May
Be Made to Have Recourse
to The Hague Tribunal.

PEKIN, JAN, 3.-The signatories of
the Chinese peace protocol, except the
american, have consulted their govern
ments and practically have decided to
ldent1cally notify China that her fail,
ure. to fulfill the obligations provided
Tor by the protocol will entail grave
consequences. A strong sentiment ex-
lists in favor of a compromise. if China
VIII admit that the protocol demands
the payment of the indemnity on a gold
oasis and confines her arguments to
the hardships resulting from the in
crease of the debt by nearly 20 per
cent since the signing of the protocol
through the depreciation in the value
OF silver and the probable further in
crease from the expected adoption of
the gold standard in the Philippines
and the Straits settlement, But the
powers refuse to waive the plain in
depreciation of the protocol. The dan
ger exists that if China maintains her
position some of the powers may de-
nland territorial concessions for COM
pensatfon.
Washington Smells Danger.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-The
state department has received con-
Iirmatory advices from Pelxin of the
their second indemnity installment on
the silver basis. 1t is not understood
that the declination was accompanied
by threat, but the action itself is re-
garded as sinister, it, as has been sug-
gested, it is not taken with a view to
making record of the position of the
powers in this matter.
The situation is regarded here as
Warranting some concern, though un-
less the Washington government is to
utterly discredit every statement of
the powers in the past two years,
whenever the possibility of a division
of China came up, it canot believe
there is an intention to proceed to ex-
tremes.
1t is again suggested that the time
is ripe for reference of this impor-
tant issue to The Hague tribunal a
consumn1ation wished for by China and
a cause which has commended itself
to the Washington government, which
is interested jointly with the other
powers in getting as much money as
feels bound by moral law to support
the Chinese contention for the silver
basis, having a solicitious regard for
China's integrity and perpetuity as
nation. The other powers are united
in demanding a settlement on the gold
basis.
