DIVORCE GRANTED.

A dispatch from Dresden says the
crown prince of Saxony was yesterday
granted divorce from the former Crown
Princess Louise, after several doctors
had furnished expert testimony in the
case.
The decree reads 'The ties Of the
marriage of the parties are dissolved on
account of the adultery of the respond
ent with M. GirOn, teacher of Ian
guages. The blame attaches to the
respondent who is ordered to pay the
costs of the proceedings"
Although the special court declined to
take into account the contention OF the
former crown princess lawyers that she
was deranged, this theory is fully ac-
cepted by King George, Crown Prince
Frederick and the Saxon court as the
view to be put forth within the king
dom in future, and that reasons of state
required the separation. The same
reasons also require that the people shall
be brought to believe that the princess
acted in an unroyal manner because she
was demented. This legend will be
nourished until, so far as Saxony is con-
cerned. it will become historic truth.
An interview with DIR. Zehme, oi
Dresden, the lawyer of the former
Crown Princess Louise of Saxony, is
published in Vienna. After denying
that Giron had been paid TO break of
his relations with the princess, DIR.
Zehme said Giron was mainly actuated
BY personal vanity, According to the
Zeit, the princess would have left Giron
when her brother, Arehduke Joseph,
went to Geneva, in an endeayor to per-
suade her to return, but for the fact that
the French teacher threatened her with

TURF INVESTMENT COMPANIES
IN TROUBLE.

The Offices of the various turf invest
ment companies in st. Louis were
thronged from an early hour yesterday
with depositors, many of whom were
from out of town, who wished to with
draw their money. At the Office of E.
j. Arnold & Co. the announcement was
made by Attorney L. d. Goodman, act
ing for Manager Gill, that the company
had no money to pay either dividends OF
principal. Attorney Goodman stated
that f. J. Arnold was detained at Hot
Springs until he could close out his in
terests there, and that he would return
to St. Louis today. At the Office o1
the International Investment Company,
payments were resumed yesterday to a
large number of depositors, among
whom were many women. The
Christy syndicate Investment Company
which began paying off Tuesday, was
Yesterday crowded with investors who
desired a return of their money. John
O'Neill, who with w. G. Christy COM
poses the company, announced that pay
ment on Withdrawals had been suspend
ed thirty days, but that dividends might
be had by any wishing them.
eve had to take thirty days to pre-
tect our customers" said Mr.. O'Neill.
"Our assets are $50, 900, and we owe
only $50, 900, so by taking the thirty
days we shall be able to turn ourselves
around and no one will lose dollar"
Exctementis intense among depOsitors
of the various turfinvestment companies
over the present condition of affairs.
A petition was presented in the
United States District Court by creditors,
asking that Arnold & Co., be declared
bankrupt and receiver appointed to
wind up its affairs.
A special from Hot Springs, Ark,
says. ''E. j. Arnold is holding confer
ences with his local agent and several
local customers, who are making vigorous
protests because Of their inability to
withdraw funds. Arnold is accompanied
by detective. He says Gill, his st.
Louis manager, called him up over the
long-distance telephone and said that
they have not stated they have no
money, for they have and will pay in
full. Arnold denies failure. He states
he has $3.50, 600 assets, which will fully
cover all liabilities. His books will open
at Hot Springs as usual.
The Kansas City Office Off. j. Arnold
& Co. was closed yesterday by a con-
stable, who attached the Office furniture
on writ obtained by stockholders.
The manager of the Office said the
amount invested there does not exceed
$50, 600.
1t is estimated that between $50, 600
and $40, 600 is invested by people in
Birmingham, Ala, and vicinity in the
E. J. Arnold Boekmaking Company of
st. Louis. The usual dividend checks
we're received yesterday, 2 per cent. be-
ing paid depositors. Stock is held in
blocks of from 500 to $4,000, most of
the stockholders being men who are
working for small salaries. The uneasi-
ness displayed by the stockholders
caused Withdrawals to the full amount
of the deposit carried by the bOokmak-
ing firm in one Of the local banks.
