MISS BELL is VICTIM
OF PRACTICAL JOKE
Story of Her Marriage to Yale Stu
dent a Hoax.

Miss Bell, daughter OF Charles ]. Bell,
returned to Washington from New York
last night, and was astounded %hen
shown the dispatches from New Haven
announcing that she had been married
in New York TO Arthur Barnwell, the
we'll known Yale centerfelder..
Miss Bell knew nothing of the report
Until she reached Washington Her faith
or Immediately authorized a denial or
the story and requested friends in New
I-sven 10 find the source of the dis
patch and obtain complete retract!on.
Communication with Yale University
authorities indicated that the story was
based on a dispatch from New York to
which Mr.. Barnwell's name was forged
This dispatch was sent to university
officials, who gave it to a New Haven
paper. The story was printed there yes
terday. and gained wide circulation
through correspondents for out-of-town
papers. retraction was printed in New
Haven today, and friends of Miss Bell
and Mr. Barnwell are still trying to
find the practical joker who has caused
so much embarrassment
Mr.. Barnwell went to New York from
New Haven Thursday and was still
away from the university at the time
the dispatch announcing his marriage
was received. His absence from New
Haven caused some comment, as he
is to play in the Yale-PFinceton ball
game Saturday afternoon, and ali the
other members Of the team have been
in constant practice for the contest,
which is to be the last in the Yale
Princeton series.
In obtaining leave of absence from
Captain Winslow. of the Yale ball team.
Mr.. Barnwen had said that he had ur-
gent business in New York. This state
ment made it easy for the baseball cap
tain to credit the dispatch.

Charles S. Francis, former United
States minister TO Greece. Roumania,
and Servia has written the following let

Tribune"
Sir: The tragedy of yesterday was
net unexpected by those familiar with
ti1e political situation in Servia. The
marriage of King Alexander, three years
ago. TO Nine. Masehin sixteen years his
senior. and formerly lady in-waiting
sto his mother. Queen Natalie. nearly
produced a revolution.
She was an attractive. ambitious,
clever. unprincipled, designing woman,
who completely fascinated the youthful
King, and absolutely controlled his acts.
His majesty was unprepossessing in ap-
spearance, weak mentally ana morally.

ties which at times made him unpopular
with his own ministers. Queen Draga
held the purse strings and personally
looked closely after the expenditures of
The royal household, for which the gov
ernment appropriated annually 1850, coo
francs
q king Alexander's unpopalarity in

ernmental policy. and the deception
practiced by her in attempting to palm
eff sisters baby as her own, followed
by an effort to have the King proclaim
Ter VIGOROUSLY bad brother as heir to
the throne, nearly precipitated a revolu-
ton about a year ago.
The situation in Servia today is in
teresting. and especially so in view OF
The condition OF affairs now prevailing
throughout the Balkan states.
THE pretender is descendant OF
BLACK George. under whom the Serv-
ians drove the Turks out of the coun-
try in the early part OF this century,
and who ruled as prince for several
years, and although living in exile he
has had a strong following among the
peasant class of Seryia Prince Kara
Georgovitch is supposed to be Russian in
sympathies; the late King was anti
Russian Therefore. in the next few
months Servia is likely to be the scene
OF decidedly interesting national man
seurvers."

BERLIN, June 12.-Dispatches re-
ceived here this morning indicate that
Colonel Nikolayevich. marshal of the
Servian court. who was at first reported
to have been killed in the massacres at
Belgrade yesterday. escaped to the Aus
ro-Hungarian legation, where he was
protected.
1t is reported that $50 officers in all
were concerned in the plot which re-
suited in the tragedies. A second dis

NIKOLA TESLA SEES
DAWN OF 4 NEW ERA
Inventor Hopeful of Better Days
for Servla.

NEW YORK, June 12.-There is no
Servian colony in this city. and few
individuals who are natives of that
country. Nikola Tesla is the only one
of note
Asked to say something about the
tragedy IN his country, Mr.. Tesla re-
Piled: 1T is difficult to estimate the
consequences OF the depIorable event
All viii depend on the attitude CT
the European governments toward the
new King The Balkan peninsula has
been for centuries afflicted by {. polfti-
cal cancer, and Servia has been The
center of the disease. From there it
has spread out TO Austria and Russia.
"A healthful condition can be attain
ed only by radical measures
Servia has been unfortunate ever
since the great battle OF Kosovo Polie.
the Blackbird Field. European nations
do not fully appreciate the service
which the Servians have rendered to
civilization by their heroic resistancA
to the savage tribes of Asia, which bu-
for Servia would have overrun Europe.
I met King Alexander in 1892 and had
long talk with him on scientific mat
ters. Whatever the world may have
thought of him. there was no doubt about
his patriotism. He had his faults and
his high qualities. 1t is very probable
that the latter were not fully appre-
ciated and that the former were exag-
gerated
Those who are familiar with the con-
ditions existing in Servia have long felt
that crisis was impending. My faith
is strcng that Servia Will see better
