Says He Did Not Use Drugs
Died Of Heart Disease.
KneeIing In Prayer With Wife When
the End Came.

New York, June 2-On his return
from Paris today Theodore Il. Shonts
president of the marlborough Metro
politan Co, declared that the report
that the death of his son-in-law the
Duke de Chaulnes, was due to indul-
gence in opiates were Infamous lbels.
Mr.. Shonts said that the dukes death
was caused by heart disease and that
the duke was not addicted to the use
of drugs
''rhe duke and my daughter were
kreeling at their bedside in prayer"
said Mr.. Shonts, 'when the stroke
came upon him that carried him off
before medical aid could be summoned.
THE memory of the duke has been
grossly maligned and outrageous re-
ports We're printed about the manner
and cause of his death. The facts are
these:
"On the Afternoon of the day on
which he died, the duke and my
daughter were out riding. They dined
together and then retired to their
apartments early. They were kneeling
close together and the duke held one
arm about his wife's shoulders. Sud-
tumbled unconscious at my daughters
feet. He was a big man and she a
slight girl. but she lifted him bodily
on the bed and screamed for aid He
was dead before anything could be
done for him.
Upon my arrival in Paris I found
my daughter in an alarming condition.
Until two weeks ago we feared that
her reason had gone and would never
return. 1t was just two weeks ago
Sunday when the return for the better
came.
my wife and one of my daughters
will remain with the duchess through
out the summer. The relatives of the
duke have been more than kind to my
daughter. The Duchess D'Usces was
more than a sister to her. SO that she
will be among sympathetic friends
while she remains in France

s2o4,ooo DUTY
Must Be Paid on Mrs. VIM. 3. Leeds
$4,000 Diamond Necklace.

New York, June 2.-Customs duties of 60
per cent. must be paid on the $34O,OOO
pearl necklace imported rom France by
Mrs. William B. Leeds under a decision
rendered by Judge Lacombe in the Unit
ed States court today This decision sus
tanned the ruling made by the collector
of the port.
After the necklace was purchased in
Paris the pearls We're separated and
brought to this country as individual
gems in the belief that they would be
admitted upon the payment of 10 per cent
duty which the law provides for indi-
vidual pearls. The collector of the port
rules. however, that as the pearls had
been used as a necklace and were intend
ed to be used in that form again the full
duty of GO per cent. should be levied.
This contention was upheld by Judge La
combe in his decision today.

1t is not generally known that the
idea of printing illustrated postage
stamps originated in this city. The
distinction of having suggested the
Illustrated stamps is claimed by James
c. Me- 'urdy, a mailing clerk, of 911
West Susquehanna avenue. Mr. Me-
Curly outlined his ideas To the Post
office Department as early as 1887. A
few years later the Columbian series of
illustrated stamps was issued and
found such favor that many other Sc
ries have followed to commemorate i'm
porfan. national events. The Original
tor of the idea treasures a letter from
President Cleveland's private. who ac
knowledged the receipt of Il copy Of
the original designs for Illustrated
postage stamps and informed the de-
Signer that his suggestions had been
referred to the postmaster general, who
later acted on them-Philadelphia Rec

HUMAN MONSTERS.
Desencrates Who Have ReveIed In
Deeds of Blood.

Desencrates Who Have ReveIed In
Deeds Of Blood.
No conntry is free from nightmare
creatures, twisted natures apparently
born without the slightest respect for
human life. Some. indeed, seem ac-
tual!y to take 1 horrible delight in the
destruction Of their fellow creatures.
Such q one was Alfred Knapp, e1ecut-
Cd 1T hamilton, O., ii August, 1908,
for the murder of his wife and four
other women. After his conviction
and when he saw that no hope Of life
remained lie coolly admitted that he
had been 4 stranger for years, pounc-
ing on little children. throttling them
to death and hiding their bodies.
The 'human mole was German
degenerate whose horrible crimes
shocked not only Germany, but the
whole world. johann. Bobbe was his
name. Though thin and weak looking,
his hands and arms were abnormaily
developed, aad his finger nails were
simply claws. Without any other tools
than his hands he could burrow into
the solid carSh.
he had a little TOBACCO shop in
back street in Berlin, and here be eS-
cavatel deep pit under the floor and
arranged :; trapdoor over it. at the
bottom Of the pit was huge iron
spike. He would decoy his victims
on to this trap and hurl them down to
be l,npalcd on the spike below.
No one knows the full tale of his VIC
tins. a deep pit was found in the
ward adjacent, which was half full Of
mo,derirs human remains. Among
others was Bobbe's own wife.
Another German criminal Of a SIM
liar type was the schoolteacher Muel-
Ter, who was arrested on suspicion Of
murder at Duernburg, near Bayreuth.
Evidence against him was only cir
cumstantial, and It seemed that he
might escape till the magistrate had
the remains Of q widow, who was sup
posed to be q victim Of his, dug up,
and Mueller was confronted with them.
Then he broke down and confessed to
q string of murders extending over q
period of eight years. The details were
50 terrible that the court was cleared,
and later the magistrate himself came
out white and shaken.-Lcndon An
