The coming dignitary is the Duke

has been in the train of Miss Mathilda
Townsend s admirers. Unlike the Due

never come to America, his courtship
having been conducted entirely during

her daughters have passed in Europe

While no one in authority can be

For the first time in years Mrs. Town

Bar Harbor where she has taken one of
the largest and handsomest houses on
the Island of Mount Desert, and where,
according to the widespread confidence
of her friends. she expects to entertain
the Duke Able and possibly his Brit

hunting trip.
The Duke d'Albe, although a grandee
of Spain, has lived most of his life
in Paris. where three years ago he was

board of directors is the most sensa-
tional charge in the complaint filed by
Hatch. DIR. Price admits he is at the
head of what is known as the New and
Practical Psychology school, which
holds Sunday meetings at the Psyche
logical Temple building, Long Beach.
These meetings, he says, are open to
anybody interested in the study of psy-
chology, and the purpose of the school
is to expose fraudulent hynotism, spir-
itualism and other "isms." To offset
the charge he controls the Guerrero
company's board, three members of that
body, he says, do not belong to his
school at all.
+. S. Wager, who with Hatch & Lloyd.
is DIR. Prices attorney, said yesterday
the company has 5000 acres Of land in
the state of Guerrero, Mexico, and that
1000 acres have been developed.
1.-The company is a new concern said
Mr. wager, land naturally there has
not been sufficient time to develop the
lands. Dr. Price lays all his troubles
to George H. Walker and j. ]. Rogers,
stockholders, who have become dissat-
isfied with present conditions. Walker,
especially, has been persistent in his
efforts to create dissension among the
stockholders. OF course, as in any or
ganization.. some disgruntled persons
can be found. This was so in the pres
ent case, and Walker took advantage
of this fact"
DR.. Price also stated in his answer
he has never acted as treasurer for the
company, or in any capacity than that
of president. Funds collected by him.
he says, always have been delivered to
the regularly elected treasurer, while
he reserved only 10 per cent commits
sion for selling the bonds. This
amounted to $4,000 or $1,000, which,
however, has been more than offset by
money furnished by him when the COM
pany was in need. Now, he says, the
company owes him more than $4,000 on
notes.
With some slight notifications the re-
straining order issued two weeks ago.
preventing the board from managing
the affairs of the company, has been
continued in force and the trial has
been set by Judge Monroe for Janu-
