AS A SPY
Former Barmaid and Actress
Makes Vain Claims.
AT HOME IN AUSTRIAN COURT
Beauty Creates Sensation
by Interviews Given TO Budapest
NeDvsDaperS-DccIur She Never
Received n Cent OF Pay for Her
valuable Services to PoIOnyi.

Vienna. Feb 9-The Baroness Soho
enberger. the Hungarian beauty, who was
used by NJ. Polonyi. the Hungarian min
lister OF justice, to spy on the Emperor
Francis Joseph. to find out his views on
Hungarian affairs. has created a sensa-
ton by interviews which she has given
to the Budapest newspapers.
She claims 70 have brought about the
famous audience Of n. K0ssuth with the
Emperor. ending in the constitutional
struggle between Hungarians and the
crown. She says. AT this time I was as
much az home in the Emperor's palace as
in my own house. My real protector al
court was the lord chamberlain, Prince
Liechtenstein, and not Count Paar, whose
name was given to spare the chamber
lain
The baroness declares that in spite OF
the great political services which she
rendered and the expenses to which she
was put, which nearly ruined her. the
Hungarian politicians never paid her tht
money which they had promised.
The Nieanese newspapers have Spoken
slightingly Of the personal charms Of the
baroness. who Travelled from Budapest
last night, and presented herself at thei1
Offices TO prove that they had been mis-
informed. and also TO satisfy them tina
she was really familiar with prominen
members OF the court a fact on which
doubt had been cast.
The baroness has a varied past Afte
/ being barmaid. actress, and professional
/ beauty. she married Baron SchOeuberger
/ a Hungarian ex-Oflcer. for his title. Tn
baron, after being dismissed from tn
army, became q cabman in Budapest.
/ It seems certain that N. POlonyi will
/ be forced to resign as soon as he ha
/ filed the action for libel against Her
! Lengyel. who published the disclosures.

RUN STEAMBOATS, At LOSS.
London Council Criticised for Newly
Discovered Extravaganza,

London, Feb. 9.-Interest in London s
local campaign increases daily. Exposures
of the county councils incompetence and
extravaganza In managing railways are
becoming overwhelming.
The latest is in connection with their
management Of the steamboats, on the
Thames. on which service the taxpayers
were compelled 10 pay a loss Of more than
$50, 600 last year. 1t has been shown by
experts that an entirely wrong type OF
boats was provided. The boats were most
expensive to run and were seldom on time.
The councils complaint that they We're
not patronized as they deserved is an
swered by the fact that passengers re-
fused to use a service where the time
table is utterly unreliable.

London, Feb. 9-"It is clear that this
man is one from whom it is my duty TO
protect the public" said Sir Forrest Full
ton. the recorder, at the Old Bailey yes
terday Then he sentenced the man
James Byrne. tall, veI-dressed, and look
ing the gentlemaH-tO five years penal
servitude.
Byrne was described as q company pro-
moter. but had used much OF his forty
years Of life and his superior education
for sWindling the public. He was said
TO be one OF the most plausible and ac-
complished rogues in London, who made
and spent small fortunes, and in the
last four years alone had t'welshed" the
Public Of S2S,590. This latest fan, after a
criminal career Of eighteen years. came
about by obtaining $50 from Mr.. Han
uington by means Of d bogus motor ga
rage.
According TO police Information, Byrns
comes from Ireland. and in early lie he
received a college training. He FIRST
came under notice as the supposed prin-
| cipal Of q correspondence educational col
/ Iege in Ireland Then he started in Dub
| lin a journal called the r. I. CoHstabu-
! larry Gazette Both ventures failed, and
! Byrne disappeared. heavily in debt
He was next heard Of al Gloucester,
and subsequently coming TO London he
f advertised himself as Prof. Byrne and
/ as j. G. O'Byrne. LID. One Of his
/ schemes under these auuring titles was
a handwriting competition, another was
/ described as the Finance Rationale
/ Mr.. Enrybo as manager, this name being
/ O'Byrnes spelled backward.
! Later he turned up at Peckham, where
he was supposed to be carrying on the
British Correspondence College" till par
ents Of pupils who had paid fees became
troublesome. and Byrne disappeared, but
only to turn uD as Harrison d Co"
/ Paternoster square, importers and ex-
porters. manufacturers Of pianos
gans. wholesale and retail, and music
printers and publishers
4 first sentence Of eighteen months
hard labor punctuated this career, and
after serving it, Byrne began business in
Holborn as the British Correspondence
Coaching Agency" which developed into
the Warwick Publishing Company" AN
other enterprise with which he was as
ISOLATED was the Warwick Press, Linn
tied" To this the public was invited to
subscribe $4,000
Once he audaciously entered the wit
, ness box and swore that he was d man
in receipt of $500 a year when he was
. actually a convict on ticket-ot-leaye with
7 out a farthing.
