No Trouble Expected In Event of

Berlin, Oct. 1 The prevailing
opinion here is that should Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria die in the
near future the transfer of the crown
to Archduke Francis Ferdinand would
take place without shock to the dual
monarchy or without a controversy of
moment arising between Hungary and
the new sovereign. This opinion is
based upon study Of the personalities
of the Hungarian and Austrian states
men and from knowledge of the pri-
vate affairs and policies of the Aus

preparation for the succession, has
been to push the archduke forward
and take no decision of Importance
without the latter knowing all about
the subject. This is especially true
of Hungarian questions and the Hun

NOT REGARDED AS BINDING
One Explanation of Miss Maloney's
Alleged Marriage.


New York, Oct. The disappear
ance OF Miss Helen Maloney, who is
supposed to have left New York a
week ago with Samuel Clarkson,
young Englishman, is still an unsolved
mystery, according to William J. Fan
ming, counsel for Martin Maloney,
father of the missing girl
Arthur H. Osborn, who claims he
was married to Miss Maloney two
years ago, called on Mr.. flaming at
his office.
"The story of the marriage he told
me was substantially as has been pub
lished," said Mr.. Tanning. HE has
only his word for it, however, as he
had no marriage certificate with him.
From what I know of Helen I am in
clined to believe she considered the
Osborn marriage more in the nature
OF a lark than anything else. She
has been reared strictly in the Cath
Ollie faith and therefore a marriage by
a Justice of the peace would not be
regarded by her as binding. She evi,
IDENTIFY did not think the matter of
sufficient Importance at least to men,
ton it to her family. Osborn's calls
at the home Of Miss Maloney have
been infrequent since the time of the
alleged marriage and she had seen
little of him."

warmly welcomed on his arrival here,
the United States revenue cutter Nc.

A luncheon given in honor Of the

representative Chinese, including WI
Ting Fang, recently appointed minis.
ter to Washington. Speaking in Chi

said that China and America had al

Secretary Taft, in concluding his

Pittsburg, Oct. .-Ex-Councilma
William A. Martin, recently convicted
on charge of soliciting bribe as a
member of the council in connection
with the Pittsburg and Tube City rail-
road scandal, declared that no other
councilmen were implicated and none
was to share in the $4,000 which he
was to get for securing the passage
of the franchise ordinance. Martin
made an interesting statement in
which he asserted that corruption in
councils is almost wholly due to cor
porations putting temptations in the
way of members, the great majority
of whom, Martin says, were "elected
with honest convictions and motives"
He declared that councilmen have
been offered money, and that recently,
by rival corporations to vote both for
and against the same measures and
that it requires members of the strong
est character to resist the allurements
continually being thrust upon them.
The ex-councilman, who has been
sentenced to serve three years in tho
penitentiary, says he is prepared to
bear the punishment.

Two bodies have washed ashore at

Caused by a Sudden Leak.
Further details of the disaster seem
to indicate that the laundering of the
ship was due to sudden leak,
through which the waters rushed with
such volume as to overcome all efforts
to keep the vessel afloat. The steamer
George Stephenson of the Pittsburg
Steamship company, while locking
through, reported that she had passed
the CYL ress several hours before the
| accident. A red streak was distin.
gulst able in the water behind her, in.
dicating that her plates had been
sprung and that the iron with which
the ship was loaded was discoloring
| the water.
Captain Harbottle says his vessel
| passed within $50 feet of the Cypress,
so close that he was able to see that
the matches of the latter skip were
not covered with the customary GOV.
ering to keep out the water. A heavy
sea was running and the decks of the
Cypress were continually awash with
the big combers that broke over her
rails. The water poured into the hold
through the matches 50 rapidly that
the pumps were unable to keep the
vessel aflCat
The Cypress was a new boat a
feet long, with capacity of 7,4O0 tons.
| It is believed here that the machinery
OF the Cypress must have met WITH
an accident, as the northwest storm
was not severe enough to wreck such
strong ship.

These specialties were woven into
a laughable plot. Ryan's daughter
in the play, Mary Ellen Ryan, writes
love letter to McKenna's son,
which falls into the hands Of the
senior McKenna instead of getting
into the hands of the Junior. The
senior McKenna Immediately thinks
that Mrs. Ryan is in love with him
and proceeds to fix himself up and
begin filtration with Ryan's wife,
much to her annoyance. In the
three acts there is much merriment
caused by McKenna trying to make
love to Mrs. Ryan, Mrs. Ryan try
ing to avoid him, and Mr.. Ryan
feeling that his wife is guilty, tries
to trap them.
