GREGER IS SUING
FOR DAMAGES IN
DIAMOND THEFT
Wants Reparation From
Hostess Who Falsely
Accused Him

PARIS. Aug 9.-The sensational case
in which the historic Sancey blue dia-
mond, its owner, the Countess de Dodel-
lee du Porzie, her husband. and their
guest NJ. Greger. a Russian state cOun-
cillor, were concerned, has had a sequel
IN the Brest courts, where NJ Greger Is
suing the count and countess for dam
ages for libel, defamation OF character.
and wrongful imprisonment.
The famous diamond disappeared from
the salon at the counts chateau OF
Ker-Stears, IN Brittany. when the
countess removed II from her hand IN
order to play the piano. The ring was
afterward discovered In NJ. Greger's s
dressing case hidden IN a box OF tooth
powder.
The Russian diplomat, who denied all
knowledge OF the affair, was accused by
the countess of stealing the jewel. He
was arrested and brought to tr1al. but
before judgment could be given, the
countess withdrew the charge.
When the present suit opened, coun-
sci for NJ. Greger said:
m de Rodellec du PorZie has no
right to the title Of count HIS mar
riage was one of the money; the count
ess. an American, is much older than
he.
'On the other hand, NJ Greger, who
has been many years in the Russian
diplomatic service. made a marriage of
love. NJ. and Mime. Greger have long
known the countess, and because they
found 1t necessary TO advise her to seek
a separation. determined to ruin him.
1 suggest that It was the count who
caused the ring to be placed in NJ.
Greger's dressing case. so that he might
be denounced as a thief"
The count and countess have engaged
Maitre LabOri, the famous advocate for
Captain Dreyfus. to fight their cause.

Kemp. the defaulting clerk of the POlice
Departme-E, will be redoubled by Major

Headquarters are depended upon to shut
off escape into Canada or by way OF an
ocean steamer.
Last night Captain Boardman, Detec-
tives O'Dea- Warren. and Berlnan, Pho
tOgrapher Sandsberg, and two police
men worked for six hours folding cir
culars containing photographs Of Kemp
as we'll as a detailed description and
an offer of 500 reward for his capture.

more 10 distribute all the Kemp circu-
lars. An unlimited contract has been
let to the printer and the circulars will

RECENT EXPERIMENTS
PROVE ANTS CAN SEE

The old theory that ants could not
see and were guided entirely by sense
Of smell has been demolished by a Sc
ries Of eperments reported in the Re-
vue ScientihQue. A little platform Of
cardboard was set up near one Of their
nests with inclined plane LEADING con-
Yenlently down to the entrance Then
a number OF the insects and a Quantity
OF theic eggs were placed upon the plat
form
For n few minutes the ants seemed
greatly perturbed, but they very soon
found the inclined plane and at once
started carrying the eggs down 1t to the
nest entrance.
Without hesitation the ants cea sed
using the old plane and took to the new
one. showing conclusiVely, IL is argued
that they were not following a trail
by scent. but were getting their bear
inys by some other sense.
The next step was TO mark some Of
the ants with a view TO seeing whether
each individual always used the same
Path and the same entrance to his nest.
II was found that no such thing was the
case.
They all seemed to know all the en-
frances AID 10 have sense Of their di-
rection- They struck out new paths for
themselves and always reached their
destination without fail This was re-
garded as establishing some form OF
vision.
Finally an electric light bulb was set
up near one entrance to the nest II
seemed To have an immediate attraction
for the ants, as they unanimously used
tho entrance on that side coming to and
going from the nest. Then Il was
changed over to the other side. causing
great excitement apparently among the
insects. which ended In their changing
over to the newly illuminated way
Changes in the brilliancv of the light
seemed 70 have no perceptible effect on
the ants, but they never failed to de-
tect the change of direction All pos
sible precautions We're taken TO prevent
the heat from the lamp from reaching
them. so that It is regarded as certain
that they perceived the light.

It was here that Mrs Maybrick spent

''Of course 1 knew Mrs. Maybrlck
WELL" the duchess said, .and had many
talks with her. but I could not show
any one prisoner more favor than an
other, and so. while I knew Mrs. May
brick well because Of her long imprison-
ment, she received at my hands the
very same treatment as any OF the
other hundreds OF women whom / have
visited. To me this prison work is most
interesting. and while the experience Of
one actually engaged in work among
these women is most depressing. I find
that the cheer that can be brought to
them by the visits Of some one actually
interested In them is a compensation" g"
Favors for the Unfortunates.
To the prison the duchess has often
taken great loads OF flowers from her
gardens and has done many other IA
vOrs for these unfOTtunates. She is in

sanitary prison quarters provided for the
women. and she has done much to i'm
prove the standard of living in Ayles-
bury.

visit the prisons there, as I am told
they are splendidly managed" the
duchess said. ''Of course, there are
other phases of life shall interest my
