.MORMONS ARE EXPELLED
Hugh j. Cannon and Family Ordered
to Leave Prussia Within
Three Weeks.

Berlin June 6.-Hugh J. Cannon, super.
intendent Of the Mormon missions in Ger
many. his wife, his secretary and his as
sistant secretary, were ordered by the
police to-day to leave Prussian territory
within three weeks. Similar orders are
about to be served by the local authori
ties on eight-six other missionaries in
Prussia, under the decision of the gov
eminent, to expel them all. It is quite
unusual to serve the wives of Mormon
missionaries with separate notice. Mrs.
Cannon has been here only month. No
explanation was given.
Mr.. Cannon will move his headquarters
to Zurich, Switzerland. He has engaged a
house there, near the one which Calvin
took when he fled from France. From
Zurich the missionaries will occasionally
visit the Mormon communities in Prussia,
which have 1900 member in groups Of
fifteen to twenty each. The German pas
tors continue their services.
No protest has been made against the
expulsion of the Mormons. Elder Francis
M. Lyan of Salt Lake City, now in Lon
don, European superintendent of the
Mormon mission, has been advised and is
waiting to see if Washington will take up
the cases Of two or three Mormons NAL
treated by the constabulary. Thru these
cases, it is hoped, the Prussian govern
ment may be led to reverse the expulsion
decree and several German states, notably
Saxony, Hesse and Wurtemburg, may also
reconsider their DEGREES expellinE Nor

italian Nobleman Prefers Waiting

Own Country.

Chicago June 6.-Weary already of his
vast italian estates and fortune Of 81, $780,

the settlement of the restaurant strike
that he may apply for a position as a
waiter. Experience Signor Romelo does
not lack for, until he came into his in
heritance, the now wealthy italian served
IN that capacity in different local restaur-
ants. Only last night he returned from
his native country to his former residence
here.
From the very first he was obliged to
fight for the possession Of the estates left
by his parents in Sale, milan, on Lake
Como, and at other places in Italy. Final
~ one dispute was settled and the former
waiter came back to Am erica with enough
money to make him Independently rich.
The rest of the $1,s00,O00 he hopes will
not be long in coming.
Signor Romelo has had quite as dra
matte career as fiction could paint. For
his noble parentage and the wealth to
which he had been accustomed in his
youth. But last November a telegram
came, saying that his mother was very
sick and requesting his Immediate return
home
Sailing soon afterward, he went directly
to Sale and inquired the way to the resi-
dence of Signoro Ro1nelo. The palace was
one he had not known in boyhood. and
at the gates he stopped to inquire If his
mother lived there After his long and
expectant journey he says the news that
she was dead overcome him. He also
found the government in possession OF
the place, and had difficulty in establish

by rich southern guests, the entire. force
Of walters and other servants walked out.
The guests put on aprons over their silk
dresses and plunged into. the work of.
serving themselves.
DR.. Adolph Lorenz, the famous Austrian
specialist, accepted the humor of the
situation and superintendent the cooking Of
all the eggs. Dainty society ladies framed
up biscuits and dignifed board of trade
men waited on tables, ran elevators and
washed dishes.
Inasmuch as the chanlbermaids also
struck, the women guests voted to make
up their own rooms during the strike and
to care for the unfortunate young men in
the hotel who have nobody to look after
their rooms.
