FIGHTS POLICE IN MlDAlR.
Demented Sailor Struggles with OFF,
GERS on Flagpole of High Build
ing in Cleveland.

Cleveland, O.-After rescuing a de-
mented sailor from windblown flag
pole, three policemen had a hard fight
with the man on the roof of a 16-story
building before subduing him. The
sailor was from the battleship Iowa,
and recently had been confined in the
Boston insane asylum.
The man had slipped to the roof of
the Williamson building unobseryed
and had begun to climb the fiagpole
when a fiutter of blue caught the eye
of Sergeant of Police Hannah.
Summoning two policemen, Hannah
hurried to the roof. Up climbed the
man, and the wind twisted him about
the pole, and seemed about to hurl him
into the street 225 feet below.
Finally the policemen pulled him
down by halyard that had become
twisted about his leg, and then the
struggle for the mastery started. The
man fought fiercely until beaten into
submission.
Thinking he was deserter from
the navy the officers took him to the
recruiting station, where 1t was learned

Spring Styles Most Attractive

Though the automobile Is with Is

with snow an well as when grass
blows green, just now autos are out
In great numbers; and it behooves the
autoist to see to a suitable wardrobe.
For town and fashion resort one
wears clothes Of different order from
those selected for lengthy tours, and
to-day we shall discuss dress for the
former occasions. Our illustration
shows fetching motor hat of pleated

The veil, such q prominent part of
the costume Of the average motor
lady, is gray with black dots. The
all enveloping wrap is a gray cloth
of heavy material with a collar Of

For outing wear one sees some very
attractive costumes. Whilst wolfe

Remarkable Case of Marquis
Townshend Proves Sem
SatiOn in London.
SAID To Be THE VICTIM OF FATHER-IN-LAW
Is Scion of One of England's Most Ancient
Families-Story of His Marriage. Honey
moon and Captivity-Once Tilted by
an American Girl

London.-London is agog over the
fight of the beautiful Marchioness
Townshend to retain the custody of
her titled husband, which was given
her by the lunacy board. Instead Of
his dazzling bride of less than year,
the marquis seemed to prefer the COM
pany of a male friend, was violently
eccentric, and could not be kept at
home without restraint, it is claimed.
The dowager marchioness has taken
an appeal from the ruling, and says
she isn't allowed to see her son.
Allegations in the Case.
The allegation that in the beginning
of the twentieth century a marquis
of ancient lineage and royal connec-
lions has been made the victim of a
sham lunacy inquiry; that he is a
prisoner in his own house, that his
mother, Dowager Marchioness Town
shend, who is denied access to him,
protests his absolute sanity, and that
this conspiracy should be carried out
in the heart of Mayfair, are certainly
startling facts.
The Townshend family is one of the
Oldest in England. Its founder was a
lawyer of great eminence in the reign
of Edward ~, while the hero Cor
the victim, as the case may be-, of the
present episode is the sixth marquis,
and third in point of precedence in
the role Of marquises in the English
peerage.
When the present marquis succeed
ed to the estates he found them heav-

lily mortgaged owing to the extrava-
gance of his immediate forbears.
He is diminutive in size, with a
very shrunken body, on which is SUI
perimposed very large head with alb
normal frontal development and pc
culiar fairness at the back. He stands
only about four feet six inches high,
has the body of an ill-nourished boy
of II, walks with short rapid steps,
and speaks in high-pitched voice.
His face Is pale, his eyes lustress, his
mouth loose, with a heavy, hanging
underlip.
After period of retirement, entire
ly suited to his case, he seems to have
fallen into the hands of some one who
thought his title might be exploited
in return for the hand if not the heart
of a millionairess.
The marquis was frankly put on the
market by his enterprising promoter
and the following prospectus was cir
culated, under the seal of strictest
confidence, in quarters both here and
in New York. where it was thought
that there might be demand for
derelict scions of the British peerage
who could give title in exchange for
gold:

Marquis Townshend is SO years
old; is liberal peer; was educated
abroad; he speaks French and Ger

eight years. His mother has a Joint
ure Of $12,500 per annum, which
ceases on her death. He is
closely related to the royal family
He will settle jointure of $500 a
year on his wife, also a dover house.
Any money she might have would be
settled on the younger children, as
only $4,000 a year out of the estate
goes to them. Everything else would
go to the eldest son. When he came
into the estates six years ago he
found there were mortgages to the
amount of $S25,000. He has succeeded
in paying off about 100000. His wife
would in all probability become in
time mistress of the robes, with $10,-
600 a year salary. He will be deputy
lieutenant for Norfolk. He has taken
his seat in the house of lords, and in
some official instances, such as Lord
Tweedmouth's, Lord Wimbonneps and
Lord Ripon's, he walked ahead of
everyone as senior liberal peer"
The agent complains that he found
the noble marquis a very difficult
commodity to dispose of in the mar
riage market. There were numerous
applicants, but when brought face to
face with their fate, they shrank from
1t.

Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
Ii physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would aclnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe

pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-

An Extraordinary Honeymoon.
Lord and Lady Townshend went
straight to Paris after the ceremony,
where they were Joined on Friday,
August II, by Mrs. Sutherst. and 1t is
stated that Lord Townshend was very
coolly treated by them until the Mon
day when they went to Wiesbaden.
AT Wiesbaden, where the marquis
and marchioness remained for about
six weeks, his lordship was treated
with the grossest indignities. 1t Is
said that he was made to grease his
hair and part 1t down the back, in the
manner of German officer; that he

were king instead of merely a mar
quis. Why, l could never show him
to my friends! They'd say / kid

But the Sutherst family was proof
against any excessive delicacy of that
kind, and the marquis married Miss
Gladys Sutherst at ST. Martins-in-the-
Fields, by special license, in the pres
ence Of her father and two friends in
May, 1905.

career. In 1891 he appeared as a la
Dor leader and organized the great
London bus strike; some time later
went into the underwriting and finan-
cial business and prospered so well
that he took house in Grosvenor
square.
His daughter Gladys, the present

extremely pretty, with the most beau

consideration of loan of 927,000
(s135,O00), to be raised by her finan-
cling father.

| meet at the marquis solicitors IA
Jermyn street in order to settle some
details as to the estates. After the
meeting I suggested that Lord Town.
| shend, as he had not seen his wife for
so long, should come back and have
tea, meeting his friends by the 5:45
train to Brighton that evening. We
went to 'radium' party, and unfor-
tunately remained too late to catch
the train. The marquis thereupon be-
came EXTREMITY excited, expressing in
remarkably emphatic language his
desire to get down that night to the
friend with whom he had been stay
ing at Brighton. So hysterical was
he that / thought he must be run
down, and becoming alarmed, sent
for DR.. Bramwell, of Wimpole street,
to give us his advice.
Shut Up in House.
DR.. Bramwell strongly advised that
Lord Townshend should not go to
Brighton that day, and consequently
Lady Townshend refused to give him
the key of the door, saying that he
had been away ten weeks, and must
stay now at his house in Brook street
with her.
'It was this event which decided me
to call in DR.. Savage the next day in
consultation with DR.. Bramwell, both
of whom were perfect strangers to me.
And these two eminent mental special
lists came to the decision that Lord
Townshend was of an historical ma
ture, easily Influenced, and would
consequently be better in the care Of
his wife. An application, signed Of
course, by magistrate, was then
made to the commissioners in lunacy,
reception order was signed on Febru-
airy 3, and on petition the marquis
was duly intrusted to the custody Of
his wife.
con two occasions the lunacy COM
missioners have personally visited the
marquis and have been greatly struck
by the earnest protestations of friend
ship which Lord Townshend has made
for the friend with whom he stayed
at Brighton. Intercepted letters were
also shown to them as an instance of
the great attachment which his lord
ship has for the gentleman referred to.
ITO say that the marquis is pris-
oner in this, his own house, is absurd.
He goes out with me and Lady Town
shend for drives and walks, and last
time saw him (on Saturday. we took
cab to the Hotel Victoria and Carl
ton together, and, in fact, were out
for quite a considerable time"
The marquis has given several in
terviews since the order of the lun-
acy commissioners committing him to
the custody of his wife, and in all he
has stated quite frankly that his one
desire is to rejoin his friend at
Brighton. He has shown hesitation
in speech, nervousness, and when the
marchioness was present has declined
to say anything. He said nothing in
sane or even eccentric, but his wife
says that his attachment to the man
at Brighton amounts to dangerous
delusion.
His mother asserverates her belief
in his complete sanity, and is working
heaven and earth to get him away
from the tolls of the Suthersts. She
has appealed to the lunacy commits
sioners against the order they gave,
granting his wife custody of him, and
the whole matter will be fought out
in the courts.
The whole story as it stands is one
of the most sordid that the exchange
of titles for gold has yet evolved.

Statement by Wife's Father.
The allegations made by friends Of
the marquis are denied by Mr.. South
erst, father of the machioness. Fol
lowing is his statement of the case:
When the marriage of my daugh-
ter to Lord Townshend was in course
of arrangement and during the dis
cussion as to the marriage settlement
an agreement was come to between
myself and the marquis in which |
agreed to procure to be advanced to
his lordship, upon adequate security,
the sum of e27,000 ($135,000), to be
paid to him on certain terms The
marquis agreed to charge his life in
terest in the Raynham estates as Sc
curity for this advancement, together
with interest at the rate of four per
cent. per annum, and with the. pro-
ceeds of the advance to pay off loan
of about 912,000 and other debts
amounting in the aggregate to &27,
600. 1t was agreed that if the result
Of "a orrio Sc hot ha
within a period of II months the
charge upon the estates should be re-
leased and the amount settled upon
Lady Townshend.
"They say l agreed to give 927,000
before the marriage. AS matter of
fact there is clause in the above
agreement which says: Upon the
marriage taking place sum of money
to be mutually agreed upon shall be
advanced by the first party to the
second party, which is to be regarded
as on account of the total sum to be
advanced and charged as loan" But
in case the 927,000 was not to be paid
until, as the first clause states, the
charge referred to is executed and all
prior existing charges are dealt with
satisfactorily and all necessary re-
leases given These conditions have
poses of the first story.
81 will now proceed to the time of
my daughters honeymoon on the con-
tinent. At first We only had occasion
to consider the marquis conduct per-
haps a trifle eccentric, and l must ad-
NIT that my daughter was very as
tonished when at simple conjuring
entertainment at Wiesbaden Lord
Townshend suddenly got up and de-
nounced the conjurer for witchcraft
and had to be taken out of the room.
l was subsequently assured, however,
that this was merely one of the mar
quis' little eccentricities, and thai he
felt very deeply on the subject of
witchcraft.
"a short time after his return 20
town from the honeymoon the marquis
was not feeling very well, and his
friend suggested that he would like
him to go down to Brighton for few
days. There was nothing more natural
than this, especially in view of the
fact that before his marriage his lord
ship had lived there for some time.
HE returned in disagreeabie
mood after staying three or four days.
Zone night, my wife, who was din
ing with the family, and who is mere
ly visitor at my daughters request,
protested against money being paid
to a certain friend of Lord Town
shend. Whereupon Lord Townshend
