the Grounds.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 15.-It has Just be-
come known from the exposition po-
lice station that two masked men held
up and robbed a train on the minia-

urday night in true Western style. Sc
cured money and valuables amounting
to about 500 and then escaped.
The train. containing the engineer
and three passengers, was making its
last trip and was crossing a deserted
part of the grounds when suddenly two
masked men with drawn revolvers ap-
peared in the shaft of light thrown by
the headlight and called to the en-
gineer to stop. The train immediate
ly came to a standstill, and, while one
robber covered those aboard the other
relieved them of their money and
valuables. Jacob Vannich, a ticket
seller for the road. was arrested to-
day on suspicion, but was released on
bends.

TROUBLE NEAR
WITH SULTAN
Interference With American
Missionaries in Turkey
May Be Taken Up Again

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15.-The
American Consul at Kharput, DR..
Thomas H. Norden, has been instructed
to proceed to the Turco- Persian from
tier and watch the operations of the
Turkish and Persian authorities, who
have undertaken to arrest the Kurdish
murderers of the American missionary,
Rev. B. w. Larabee, who was killed
in April last.
Despite the Porte's repeated promises
to the American legation not to permit
venders of Bibles of the American Bible
Society to be molested the local author
tiles at Angora, Trebizond and Ordu
still detain venders, seize their Bibles
and threaten to arrest any one at
tempting to sell them. The legation,
therefore, has addressed a more i'm
perative note to the Porte, calling at
tention to this compliance with in
structions which the legation has been
assured were given. The legation de-
mands a prompt settlement, failing
which the matter will be referred to
Washington.
The efforts made to obtain permis-
sion for resumption of the exca-
vations of DR.. E. S. Banks, director of
the University of Chicago expeditions,
have thus far proved unsuccessful.

INVESTIGATION
MAY Be MADE
Merced Newspaper Charges
Whittier Reform School Of
fetal Filed Illegal Claims

MERGED, Nov. ia local paper is
responsible for the statement that H.
legal claims upon Merced County have
been presented by Superintendent
Smith of the Whittier Reform School.
and that charges have been drawn up
against that official and forwarded to
the Governor at Sacramento The State
law provides that the county from
which boys are committed to the re-
form school shall pay $11 per month for
each person committed during the time
they remain at the school. County
Auditor Cook, it is said, claims to have
discovered that Smith has presented
claims against the county for an allow
ance for two boys who are not now in
mates OF the institution and who have
not been such since August Is last.
The two boys in question are Robert
and Dock Shaw. They were commit
ted to Whittier from this county in Sep
tember, 1902 since which time it is said
the county has paid $11 a month for
each OF them, upon monthly statements
by the superintendent or the school to
the effect that the boys were still there
Recently it is said Auditor Cook
learned that the Shaw boys were in
Fresno He went to see them and Sc
cured their af1davits stating that they
were released (not paroled nor dis
charged) from the Whittier School
August 15. The claims FOR August and
September, 1t is claimed, were filed just
the same. and the claim for October
maintenance is now on file, together
with statement that the boys were
paroled October 81. The boys returned
from Fresno to Merced County to live
on the Sth of this month
The older of the two boys ii is
claimed, also makes affidavit that for
five months prior to August 15, when
he was given permission to go to F'res-
no, he worked for farmer near Whit
tier named r. r. Guiardo, and that he
saw Guiardo give Superintendent Smith
a check for $50 for his services. During
those five months he visited the school
but once, and then only stayed one
night.
Auditor Cook, it is averred fortified
by aff1davits proving all these asser-
tions, sent a letter to Governor Pardee
to-day, laying the facts before the ex-
ecutive and requesting that an investi-
cation be made.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-News was
received in Washington to-day which
shows that a conspiracy was recently
directed against President Amador of
Panama. 1t was the purpose of the
plotters to seize President Amador.
throw him into prison and assume con-
troll of the Government President
Amador learned of the plot and frus
trated the plan.
AS a result of these advices, the STATE
Department has requested the NAVY
Department to keep a warship in 18TH
mian waters. The cruiser Dixie, now at
Colon, will remain there until further
orders.
There is tendency in some quarters
here to believe that the conspiracy had
in part the purpose of putting Panama
affairs in q turmoil before the arrival
there of Secretary Taft. Until after
Taft's mission is concluded, the bat
TALON of marines now on the isthmus
will not be withdrawn. 1t is the desire
of Secretary Taft that everything in
Panama remain just as 1t has been
until he has had an opportunity to get
close view of the situation.

OF Her YOUTH
Marquise Des Monsters
Merinville Announces Her
Return to Professionalism

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Associ
ated Press has received the following,
and before giving it publication it's
authenticity has been fully verified by
ca BILE from Rome:
ROME. Oct 80. 1eo4.-Editors of the As
sociated Press: You have my full permission
to print the inclosed and give 1t wide a
publication as possible. Your truly,
MARQUISE DIES MONSTERS.
Dear Editor: 1t may interest some Of
your readers tc know that the Marquise des
Caldwell. who it win be remembered. founded
the Roman Catholic University at Washington
some years ago. has entirely repudiated her
former creed.
The statement that the Marquise
founded the Washington University is
erroneous. She did, however, contrib
ute $500 900 for the erection of the di-
Vinity school connected with that in
stitution.
The Marquise des Monsters -Merin-
Vile and her sister, the Baroness Won
ZoodwitZ, are the daughters Of the late
William S. Caldwell and his wife, who
was a Breckenridge of Kentucky.
Shortly before his death Caldwell be-
came a convert to Roman Catholicism
and left his children TO the care of
Roman Catholics in New York, whom
his wife had met In church circles. The
younger sister married some fifteen
years ago German nobleman, a Luth-
eran, and has since then also left the
Roman Catholic communion. The elder
has been in very bad health for some
years.
On the death of her father, Mary
Gwendolin Caldwell inherited $2,000,000.
On October 10, 1896, Miss Caldwell was
married to the Marquis des Monsters
Merinville, a French nobleman, in St.
Joseph's Church, Avenue Hoche, Paris.
by Bishop Spalding of Peoria ILL.,, the
guardian and administrator of the es-
tate Of Miss Caldwell, assisted by
Father Cooke.
At the time Of her marriage, Miss
Caldwell was a very handsome woman,
about 35 years old, and a devoted Ro-
man Catholic. Seven years previous to
her marriage Miss Caldwell was en-
gagged to Prince Murat, grandson Of the
King of Naples. The engagement was
broken because the Prince insisted that
half Of Miss Caldwelps fortune should
be settled upon him.
The Divinity College OF the Roman
Catholic University in Washington is
known as the Mary Gwendolin Caldwell
hall of divinity.

The separation between Lady Yarde-

courts; Lord Yarde-Buller went from
London to South Africa in the British

Troubles multiplied and the woman
who was once the reigning belle OF
London regal society passed into the
custody of the courts of Alameda

There have been several guardians at
different times and there has been
endless litigation over the custody of
her ladyship and her estate. No
sooner would one guardian be ap-
pointed by the court than contests
would be begun by others who thought
they should be in charge of the person
and the property of Lady Yarde-
Butler. Finally she became seized
with desire to control her own prop

The trial a week ago was remarkable
In several ways. Lady Yarde-Buller
made her own plea to the jury and 30
well did she succeed that 1t took q
mass Of expert testimony to show that,
while thoroughly competent in the or
dinary sense Of the word, she was at
the same time morally irresponsible.
Her own son testified to this effect,
and yet remained with his mother
every day during the trial, the most
loving affection existing between them.
Lady Yarde-Buller was again remand
ed to the care of Mr.. Wright as her
guardian and DR.. Robertson. These
two had agreed that upon Thanksgiv-

among which was one in Italy. While

London, where the handsome Mrs.

her beauty and brilliancy Of wit, and
was soon welcomed into the most ex-
