MISS MAR IS ANGEREO
Strongly Protests at Being
Compelled to Appear in
Divorce Court.

New York, Nov. 22.-"I am angry
at Howard Gould and his attorneys.
They have put me to a great inconvenf-
ence by compelling me to testify about
what I know of Kathrine Clemmons'
friendship for Colonel Cody. after 1
had been led to believe that 1t was
perfectly safe for me to come to this
country without being subjected to
this humiliation"
Miss Helen Mar, the entertainer,
whose testimony is supposed to be the
strongest link in the chain of evidence
upon which Mr.. Gould hopes to get a
divorce, made this statement tonight:
All that I know of it," continued
Miss Mar. happened before Howard
Gould married Miss Clemmons, and /
cannot see how that affects her after
life. But then, I am not a lawyer
'RaI<ing Up Dead Past"
1T is raking up the dead past with
a vengeance to drag me into this mat
ter. l am just as friendly to Mrs.
Could as 1 am to her husband. and /
do not want to do either harm. If he
cannot get any more evidence against
her that what I gave I don't see how
he is going to get his divorce.
Il knew Kathrine Clemmons for
many years. both off and on the stage
Our friendship was close. and we ma
turally exchanged great many conf
dences. That Colonel Cody. known as
| Buffalo BILL was her close friend was
not secret at the time.
"Kathrine told me everything,
think. of what he had done for her she
regarded him as the greatest man ia
the world, and 1 think they were mueh
in love. 1t has been said that before
her marriage to Howard Gould MISS
Clemmons made a confession TO me
Of her relations with Mr.. Cody Now
there was no formal confession, IS
none was needed I knew all ABOUT
how much they were TO each otheI'
and, in fact. all their friends Kne"
the same thing.
This is what surprises me. Inc
whole affair was such an open seCie
that it does not seem possible mat
Howard Gould did not know too
While Miss Clemmons told him. l De
llieve, that she had had only business
relations with the man, everybody eise
knew they were much more TO one an
lother That is Why I have 50 little
sympathy for Nj. Gould for dragging
the matter in now

as Cause of Move.
PUBLIC OUTBREAK IS FEARED
Conservative Leader Said to Have De.

Country in Turmoil.

Madrid. Nov. 23.-The king of Portu-
gal has banished the Crown Prince
Louis to Villa Vicoso, a royal residence
in an isolated part of Portugal. leo
miles from Lisbon.
This step was taken in consequence
of the crown prince demonstrating with
his father against the dictatorial
regime carried on by Senior Franco, the
prime minister, with the kings assent
and support.
The crown prince. whose antagonism
to the dictatorship was well known,
represented to his father the inadvis-
ability of continuing the present meth
Cd of government, which, he said, is
turning Portugal into a hot-bed of re-
pulicans and anarchists, and which
might end In the overthrow of the
monarchy. King Carlos. greatly in
censed, ordered the crown prince into
what. is practically exile from the
/ capital
| The kings action has caused a great
sensation throughout the country II
is declared that the crown prince is
under the influence of the conserva-
tives, who are led by Senator Vilhena
and desire the abdication of King
Carlos in favor of his son.
Great Plot Is Feared.
The situation in Portugal, which has
been described as growing worse dur
ing the last few weeks, has become
threatening. according to dispatches
The popular antagonism to the dicta
torship has been growing dangerously
and the conservatives are making com
mon cause with the republicans.
An accidental exDlOSfOn of bombs thu
other day, by which two physicians an,
others concerned in their manufacture
were killed, led, it is said, to the dis
covery of an alarming plot. More thai
1870 bombs were found and 135 arrest
made
The municipal guards of Lisbon. con
ssting of 1900 infantry and 500 cav
airy, have been confined in their bar
racks for several days in preparatio

The fidelity of the army and navy i
declared doubtful. A rigorous pres
censorship is being maintained, and al
of the newspapers in Lisbon, excep
three, have been suppressed and thei

seditious articles.

LABOR EXODUS STILL ON

New York, Nov. 22.-The rush of for
eign laborers back to their homes in
Europe. which began in noticeable vol
ume about three weeks ago. has reach
ed such proportions that the steamship
companies at this and other ports have
serious trouble to provide accommoda-
tions for the homegoing. Hundreds
who wanted to sail yesterday were
unable to find q berth and many who
wished to sail Saturday have to wait
for next Wednesdays steamers
This week all the big transatlantic
lines raised the Storage rate from
$21 to S33, but this had no effect on
the demand for tickets. In fact, the
demand increased.

partment of the Hamburg American
line said $4,000 foreigners in this coun-
try now are leaving this port alone
every week for Europe. He estimated
$4,000, 600 is being taken abroad weekly

or drafts on foreign countries
The Fabre line found it necessary to
provide accommodations in various
parts of the city for 200 steerage pas
sengers who wanted to sail on the Ma
donna, which left for Mediterranean
ports on Wednesday with 14SO in the
steerage. Five hundred more staid
here, but 800 got abroad other ships

purpose of the meeting of the commit

that the committee should meet in

Although this was the only business
