ROYAL HEIR MAY
ARRIVE THIS WEEK
Queen Victoria Declares She viii De-
part from Established Custom
and Nurse the Child
Herself
BY Associated Press.


MADRID, April I.-Interest today in
the elections for members of the cham
Der of deputies absorbed public at
tention, rather than the approaching
birth of an heir to the Spanish throne.
Queen Victoria's health continues most
satisfactory. On Saturday she went
for a, walk in the palace gardens.
The reports recently circulated as to
disagreement among the queens medi-
cal attendants and the departure from
Madrid of the English physician, to-
gether with an English nurse, are un-
founded. Both men, DR.. Glendenning,
and the nurse are still here and are
acting in perfect harmony with Prof.
Gutierrez, the Spanish physician, who
will have charge of the medical at
tendants in the approaching confine-
ment, which is expected to take place
tomorrow at the earliest, but certainly
before the end of the week.
1t is said that Queen Victoria insists
she will herself nurse the child, despite
the opposition of the royal household
to such a departure from the custom in
the case of royal infants.
The queen declares her desire to
nurse the child for the purpose of in
suring it's good health.

BY Associated Press,
NORFOLK, Va, April 21.-Despite
the energetic efforts of officials and
workmen, the jamestown Tercenten-
NAL exposition will not be opened this
week until ready.
Many Of the structures that are to
house the domestic and foreign exhibit
and shelter the achievements in the
industrial arts are incomplete. Yet the
work that has been done as compared
with the unfinished work is satisfac-
tory.
In the beauty of the water show, with
it's amazing gathering of foreign fleets,
representing the most formidable type
of naval fighting machines of nearly
every power of the world, and in an
opening program with President Roose-
welt in the leading role with diplomatic,
military and naval representatives of
great and small foreign nations par
ticipating, the public will have its
recompense.
The grounds and buildings at the ex-
position are about 80 per cent finished.
Several of the most complete build.
ings are built solidly of brick, cement
and 1ron, and these are intended to
remain on the grounds as a nucleus of
great park.
The exposition will be formally
opened on Friday next

MILLIONAIRE GIMBEL IN
CRITICAL CONDITION
By Associated Press.

BY ASSOclateu EIesSs
NEW YORK, April 21.-Late tonight
the condition of Benedict Gimbel, the
Philadelphia merchant who attempted
suicide at Hoboken Friday night, took
a turn for the worse and it was be-
lieved he could not live more than q
few hours.
Gimbel cut his throat and the arteries
in both wrists in the Palace hotel after
his arrest on a serious charge In New
York and his release on bail, using a
broken glass pitcher for the purpose.
He lost a great deal of blood before he
was taken to the hospital, and in spite
of the fact that the physicians have
made a hard fight to save his life 1t
has been an uphill effort from the start.
While the doctors have not given UP
absolutely all hope tonight, they admit
that the chances of his recovery are
very small.
Gimbel's wife and brother from
Philadelphia and Milwaukee are at his
bedside,

TWELVE YEARS. QUESTION
IS SETTLED BY PROTOCOL

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 2t.-Hav-
ing obtained an order granting all their
demands concerning the Macedonian
gendarmerie, the ambassadors of the

Thus the question which has agitated
the porte for the past twelve years and
has been the subject of laborious dip
lomatic negotiations for twenty years
is now finally settled and the bargain
completed by which foreign commerce
is taxed to pay the cost of maintain
ing order In Macedonia, as per cent
of the revenue derived from the in
crease of customs being set aside for
the requirements of the Macedonian
government. The porte has, however,
still to obtain the assent of the United
States and smaller powers to the agree

CITY PRISON
LIKELY To Be
QUARANTINED
Case Of Diphtheria
Develops
Nearly Every Attendant and Many
Prisoners Have Been Exposed
to the Disease for Sew
eraI Days

The strong possibility of the city Jail
swarming with disease germs and con-
tagion of almost every kind known to
medical science, with it's prisoners and
attendants being isolated under the
quarantine laws of the city and state,
is presented because of a case of malig-
nant diphtheria which developed in
the big tanks yesterday afternoon.
Walter Wardhoff prisoner serving
a 30-day sentence on a conviction of
petit larceny is the victim of the dis
ease, and for several days all of his
fellow prisoners, the TRUSTEES, jailers,
hospital attendants and other visitors
to the jail in the department in which
he was confined have been exposed to
the contagious disease.
Wardhoff was sentenced to jail on
April 9, and a few days after he be-
gan serving his sentence he complained
of feeling i'll. Yesterday morning he
asked to see the doctor, stating that
he had very sore throat and expe-
rienced difficulty in breathing Police
Surgeon Sumner j. Quint and Assis-
tant Surgeons Goodrich and Tebbetts
examined the man and agreed that
he was suffering from diphtheria. He
was at once removed from the tanks to
q cot in the hospital ward and DIR.
Quint gave orders that he should be
moved to the contagion ward of the
county hospital at once. In the mean
time culture was taken from the
patient and sent to the city health de-
partment for microscopic examination
to determine beyond question the ma
ture of the disease.
Kept in Receiving Hospital
Through some misunderstanding on
the part of subordinates at the hos
pital the impression got out that the
patient was to be kept in the receiv-
ing ward until the result of this ex-
animation was known. In that man
ner Wardhoff was kept in the hospital
all day long with all the visitors and
attendants during the day exposed to
the disease. Last night when DR.. e.
H. Garrett was informed Of the fact
that the man had diphtheria he issued
an order that he be taken to the
county hospital without delay. Acting
upon this order and also the informa-
ton from DR.. Quint that he also had
ordered the patient removed, Capt.
Thomas Broadhead called an ambu-
lance and had Wardhoff taken to the
pest house.
What action the city health authori-
ties will take in the matter today can
only be surmised, but it is probable
that DR.. Powers, the city health Off
GER, will order the Jail disinfected and
fumigated and the isolation of all per-
sons who were exposed until the usual
nine days in which it takes the disease
to develop have passed.
The complications this will create
are almost innumerable and are be-
yond the possibility of prediction.
Whatever is done in the matter it
seems, however, that the city prison
will for once in it's history receive
sulphur and formaldehyde bath that
will for the time make it practically
free of disease germs and bacteria.

BY Associated Press.

ny Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, Auril 21.-A sharp
drop in temperature followed the snow
storm last night, Ia above zero being
recorded by the weather bureau in
both Denver and Pueblo, and fruit of
all kinds in eastern Colorado was ef-
fectively nipped in the bud.
At Grand Junction, the center of the
most important fruit growing district
of the Continental divide, the temper
ature fell to 20 degrees and the weather
observer there reported today that the
condition of fruit was grave.
While the damage to fruit in this
state may amount to several million
dollars, nearly all other crops will be
greatly benefited by the moisture.
A remarkable feature of the snow
storm was that it was most severe on
the lowlands than in the mountains.
While the precipitation covered
large area, including all of Colorado,
Wyoming and part Of South Dakota,
Nebraska, Texas and New Mexico, the
snow was almost entirely confined to
the eastern slope of the Rocky noun
tains and extended from Lander, Wyo.,
and Rapid City, on the north to Santa
Fe, N. NJ, and Roswell, N. M, on the
south.
The Colorado state line on the east
was practically the limit of snow in
that direction and only a light snow
occurred west Of the Continental di-
vide. The storm originated in the
north and worked it's way slowly to
the south, passing out of the state late
yesterday.
No Records Broken
FredericL< TT Rrandenhere diatrict
forecaster who estimated the snow
fall in Denver at 1919 inches, said to-
day that though the storm was re-
by no means unprecedented. On April
q, 20, 23, 1885, the records show a
snowfall of 80 inches, % inches falling
on the last day of the storm.
The only weather bureau station in
the mountains of this state is located
at Corona on the Moffat road There
only four inches fell during the late
storm.
At the railroad offices 1t was stated
today that traffic was not seriously inn
peded by the snowstorn, as all the
mountain roads are prepared to meet
sudden emergencies with giant rotary
snow plows and that no trains were
delayed over an hour or two.
1t was feared that heavy snow falling
on the old snow of last winter might
start slides to running, but in the sec
ton of the state where snowslides
are most frequent the snow was light
and no slides have been reported.
On the whole it Is asserted that while
the storm was heavier than any OF
the entire winter and some damage is
reported, the resulting good will Offset
the loss manifold.
