SPEAKER CANNON is FIRM
Wants TO Fight ii Out With

Kansas City, Mo. March S.-A spec
ial dispatch to the Times from Wash
ington. says: Speaker Cannon has
decided to listen to those who have
urged House concessions en- statehood
legislation. He has been informed
thlt the Senate would, by a substan.
tial majority, incorporate in the state
hood bill the Foraker referendum per
New Yorl, and Arizona to vote
s parately upon their admission and
requiring a majority OF voters in each
territory to ratify the result The
speaker prefers to fight it with the
Senate, and If he can accomplish it,
will defeat all statehood rather than
yield to the demands of the upper
House
There are those who support the
Oklahoma and Indian Territory adj
who allege that the Speaker
will be compelled to yield, the very
senators who have opposed the Fora
ker amendment Will begin to bring
pressure to bear to have the House
yield, at least for so much Of the bin
as applies to Oklahoma and Indian

COSTLY GEMS WIN A WOMAN
But katt Schratt Gives Them Back
When the Emperor Will Not
Pardon Baruchs
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
VIENNA, May 26.-The astounding
charge is made that Frau Katti
been Emperor Francis Josephs COM
panion and counselor accepted jewels
worth 10000 to obtain from the en-
peror his pardon for the brothers
Joseph and Daniel Baruch.
These men are purveyors to the army
and were convicted of fraud in filling
their contracts. 1t was then, Joseph
Baruch swears, they bribed Frau
Schratt to play the part of Nine. de
Pompadour
Any role would be easy for her, for
she was formerly an actress of the
Court theater here, the Austrian
Coincide Francaise, and has played
in the Thalia theater, New York, when
it was naged by Heinrich Conried.
The accusat tion against the emperors 5
intimate friend is made in the indict-
ment in legal proceedings brought by
Joseph Baruch against his brother. In
a sense the charge is a compliment to
Frau Schratt, for Josepl. Baruch says
so honorable was she that when her
coaXings failed to gain the aged en-
peror's interceSSion, she returned the
jewels to Daniel Baruch. But he has
withheld them from Joseph, to whom
they belong and who wishes to regain
possession of them.
The public was excluded from the
court while the case proceeded and it
was soon adjourned.
Frau Schratt will be one of the wit
nesses The old monarchs confidante,
now perhaps 55 years old, is still beau
tiful. Her once slender, aristocratic
figure inclines to be matronly, but
time has not dulled her blue eyes nor
stolen the luster of her light brown
hair.
But time has changed the en-
peror's constant devotion, so remark
able in a Hapsburg, to a platonic af-
fection. He visits her constantly
whether she be in her villa, near Ischi,
or her fiat on the Elizabethgasse,
which is not Vienna's Fifth avenue,
but rather its Gramercy park.
The Viennese respect the Frau
Kaiserin," as they call her, and are
grateful to her for comforting their
emperor's declining days.
