AN AMERICAN COUNTESS
HAS SECURED A DIVORCE
Isabella Won Schellendorf, Nee
Adams, Freed from Unfaith-
full Husband.

BERLIN, Dec. 1s.-Berlin society is
greatly excited over the divorce of Countess
Isabella Bronsart Won Schellendorf, nee
Adams, an American. who will arrive on the
Hamburg-American line steamer Blueeher
next week. Nothing concerning the affair
appeared in the German newspapers until
to-day, when the Tageblatt stated the facts
Of the case.
It appears that the countess married
Lieut.. Bronsart Won Schellendorf. a noble
man. and a nephew of a former minister of
war, in German East Africa, where he COM
manded one of the German stations. Var
ious rumors regarding the marital affairs of
the couple have been in circulation, but the
countess has said, according to the Tage-
blatt, that the marriage was dissolved on
her motion on the ground of her husbands
infidelity and that the court in Tanga, in
German East Africa, decided that he alone
was guilty. A pamphlet reciting the his
tory of the case has been privately circu-
lated among the friends and relatives of the
countess, of which she Is presumably the
author.

TO BUY SUPPORT
OF THE FRENCH PRESS
That 1t Was Set Apart Is About
the Only New Fact Developed in
Shipbuilding Hearing.
EVIDENCE OF ALEXANDER

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Only a few audi
tors were present when the hearing in the
United States Shipbuilding receivership
case was received to-day. Mr.. Untermyer
continued his examination of Charles B.
Alexander, Of the firm of Alexander &
Green. The hearing opened with a tilt be-
tween Messrs. Guthrie and Untermyer, Mr..
Guthrie rising to state for Mr.. Alexander
that none of the cablegrams which he sent
from abroad during the summer of 1902 in
regard to selling securities referred to
Shipbuilding stock. and that If Mr.. Inter
myer desired to 'pry into Mr.. Alexander's
private business affairs the cablegrams
would be opened to his inspection" Mr..
Untermyer resented the phrasing of the
statement, and the examination then pro-
ceeded. MI. Untermyer asked if a cable
message In code. of July Is. 1902, directing
the New York office to "sell my rights on
my tomb referred to Shipbuilding stock.
but Mr.. Alexander insisted hat S%hipbuild-
ing stock was not meant by "his tomb"
and Mr.. Guthrie augmented the merriment
by asking how tomb" was spelled. Mr..
Alexander continued his tactics of declining
to answer most questions about corre-
spondence on the ground that it was priv
ileged.
Mr.. Alexander would not admit that he
had been in Paris to secure French under
writing. He said he had told the French
Underwriters their contracts could be en-
forced. About $4,000 had been secured in
France. He said Baron Rogniat had al
legged as the ground for refusing to fulfill
his part of the agreement that President
Young had deceived him as to the success
of the fotation of Shipbuilding securities
There was much fencing over the various
phases of the French underwriting, about
the only point being that $500, 900 of Ship
building securities had been set apart for
the purpose of substituting the French press.
Mr.. Alexander was asked about a con-
versation he had with the Oppenheims
after the Harjes interview, but he claimed
privilege on the ground that the interview
was in the presence of his client, Young.
DC you mean to say that Mr.. Young was
present when you told the Oppenheims that
Young had made an ass OF himself?" de-
manded Mr.. Untermyer.
Mr.. Alexander could not recall using that
expression, nor that he told an underwater
that the Shipbuilding stock subscription
was a success, according to the New York
theory of success"
After a number of other questions on the
text of the correspondence Mr.. Untermyer
turned the witness over to Mr.. Guthrie for
cross-examination. This developed nothing.
The hearing will be resumed next Tuesday.

BURIAL or THE DEAD
RETARDED BY STRIKE
Funerals Conducted Under Diff
culties, Owing to Livery Driv-
r Stopping Work.
TROUBLE AT CHICAGO

CHICAGO. Dee. 1s.-Sixteen hundred liv-
cry drivers, backed by every Transfers
Union in Chicago, struck to-day. Nearly
100 livery stables are tied up.
The decision to strike was reached last
night after four weeks of negotiation for
better wages and working conditions. The
men have been receiving s12 a week for
seven days. The demand is for an increase
of 81 a week. More than a dozen meetings
were held between committees representing
the livery owners and the drivers union,
but the employers refused to make any con-
~cession. claiming that business did no. war
rant the paying of higher wages in view
Of the inroads made by automobiles.
Behind the livery drivers in their strike is
the entire organization of teamsters. Ss.0ec
strong. Only 200 cabs and carriages-those
used by licensed cabmen. who are pledged
not to handle any OF the funeral business
for liverymen-were operated to-day. The
cabmen belong to a branch of the Team
sters' Union, separate from the livery en-
ployes.
Seventy-five funerals were scheduled for
to-day, according TO the report of the burial
permit clerk of the city Health Department.
Some of these were postponed in the hope
that the strike would be settled. Most of
the funerals, however, took place, the
bodies being carried to the cemeteries In
undertakers' embalming wagons Neither
the Transfers Union nor the Liverymen's
Association apparently made exception IN
the strike order to facilitate burial arrange
ments, although instructions were given to
pickets not to interfere with the movement
of undertakers' agons which were used
in lieu of hearses.
The first trouble occurred when an at
tempt was made to conduct a funeral at
West Eighteenth and Airport streets. An
undertaken secured enough conveyances to
take the body and the mourners to the
church, but while the services were In
progress pickets compelled the drivers of
the hearse and carriages to desert. under
threats OF violence.
Only the presence of a large police squad
prevented strike sympathizers from attack
ing a funeral when a hearse carrying the
body of Mrs. Mary Kucera. followed by a
long procession of carriages. started toward
the Bohemian national cemetery. While
the police stood guard about the hearse
union pickets and strike sympathizers
crowded the street and threatened violence
TO the nonunion drivers of the carriages
and hearSe.
