ROME, July 5.-Your correspondent
is in a position to explain tho official
silence which continues to be preserved
regarding the projected match OF Miss
Elkins and Prince Luigi, Duke Of the
Abruzzi. and although it is due to rea-
sons which dr dinarily1 would not be
discussed save bNthose directly con-
cerned, the matter IS of such general
interest that$publicity In case oftsttus
kind Is unavoidable.
The fact Of the matter is that the
King and 4 majority of the royal fami-
~ OF Italy are carrying out carefully
arranged plans to break off the match.
The success of these plans depends
upon the hold which Miss Elkins has
upon the affections of her royal sutton.
and If that hold is not sufficiently
strong to balk the efforts which are
being made by the Dukes exalted kins-
folk then all that need be said is that
Miss Eikins will be well rid of the
Duke. If. on the other hand, young
Abruzzi disappoints the expectations OF
his family, Miss Elkins will have OBJ
tained additional proof of the sIrength
ard value o. the Dukes attachment,
and will deserve all the more to be
congratulated.
King Victor Emmanuel's plan Is

in character. His Majesty believes that
his sailor cousin. after the fashion of
sailors the world over, is in the habit
of falling in love and equally in the
habit of falling out of love. The King
argues that what has been in the past
will be in the future. or in plain words
In the present case that If Abruzzi does
rot see Miss Elkins for considerable
time and encounters no opposition to
arouse that obstinacy which Is one of
his most pronounced characteristics
there Will be no American marriage to
record in the annals of the house OF
Savoy.
The rule of the Court, therefore. is
silence on this one subject. The King
never by any chance mentions 1t, and
his encourage. understanding his mo-
tiyes, are dumb as mutes-at least in
the royal presence. 1t Is not contra
dicted-oh, no! 1t is merely ignored.
When the Duke insists on speaking

BRYAN WANT s GRAY
FOR RUNNING MATE
Governor Peck, After Conference
at Fairview, Gives Out This
Information.

LINCOLN, July 5.-There is recur-
gossip today. The Gaynor movement
also received attention. and Daniel B.
stephens, chairman of the Nebraska
delegation. declared himself for Cow
iernor Folk, of Missouri. Mr.. Bryan
was quoted by one Of his visitors as
saying that the matter OF running
mate was of far less Importance than
a good platform.
Mayor Brown and ex Governor Peck,
OF Wisconsin. were the chief instiGa-
Delaware Judge. Mayor Brown is so
accustomed to be considered the mouth
piece Of Mr.. Bryan that he delivered
an elaborate preface. declaring that he
spoke for himself only. II am for
Gray he said. 81 have been RICH:

But he has absolutely refused the
use of his name before the conven-
ton was objected. q.
We'll, he might change his nina"
replied the Mayor.
Mayor Brown had his final talk with
Mr.. Bryan in the forenoon. and there
was considerable inclination to couple
this fact with the additional fact that
Ex-Governor Peck, of Wisconsin. ex-
pressed an exactly similar sentiment
after talking with the master OF Fair
view.
IT don't think Judge Gray would
refuse the nomination, If the conven-
ton insisted upon it." declared the for-
mer Governor. Those who believe
that Mr. Gray is the best man for
second place have by no means aban-
doned hope"
Does Mr.. Bryan want him % an In
terviewer inquired
Mr.. Peck hesitated. but said slowly:

point failed to make good for Christen.
sen, who according to the words of the
seer was to have died on Monday night
is now at the State Hospital for the
insane at Mendoza. He went there q
raving maniac this morning and it is
feared that he will never recover. The
man beset with strange Authorizations
spent an awful night in the county jail
Monday night and it is thought that
he planned to commit suicide by drown
ing during the night. He stopped up
the water closet in the cell with waste
paper and when the attendants went to
the cell they found it flooded. The man
was pulled out Of the water and he did
not seem to suffer any from his advent
ure. DIR. George F Adams and DR.. P.
P. M. Jorgensen made an examination
of the mental condition of Christensen
on Monday evening and they found him
insane. There was no cause for the
malady assigned by the doctors and the
life story of Christensen failed to reveal
anything that would produce the in
sanity. He seemed to the physicians to
be laboring under a religious strain
which had caused him to lose all con-
troll over him mental faculties. He
seemed to be ready to commit suicide
or run away and the doctors recommend
ed that he be sent to the asylum. Judge
Slosson issued the order committing
him to the asylum last night. When
he was taken to the station this morn
ing he made no fight against the officers
and held up his wrists for the hand
cuffs. He seemed to understand just
what was going on but all the way to
he station he protttled about the state
ment that had been made by the fortune
teller and insisted to the sheriff and his
attendants that it would do no good to
take him to any hospital as he was GO
ing to die. The condition of the man
was pitiable in the extreme.
The county officials will at once lay
the case of Christensen before the state
Board of Control and an effort will be
made by the Board to at once make some
arrangement to deport him to Denmark.
Judge Slosson accompanied the man to
Madison and he expects to lay the facts

AID BRIDGE WORK
State Department of Road Building 10
Furnish Practical Plans for Bridges

The Geological Survey, feeling that
there has been lack of skillful plan
ming and supervision in the construc
ton OF the bridges Of the state, result
ing IN large number of poor weak
bridges and bridges of excessive cost,
offers to aid in the planning Of bridges
erected this year.
The Survey will, on request from the
proper officials, send an engineer to
inspect the bridge site, and determine
on the span and the character of
bridge and foundations. From this in
formation plans and specifications will
be prepared for a>bridge of the proper
character and strength and an estimate
OF the proper cost furnished. The
bridge can then be advertised and let
with the assurance that good bridge
viii be erected at a reasonable cost
Plans furnished by bridge companies
will be checked on request when there
is not sufficient time to use the method
outlined above.
All of this assistance is absolutely
free to towns and villages and there
seems to be no valid reason why bridge
officials should not avail themselves OF
it.
The calls on the Highway Division
are coming in daily, and if this com
munity has any bridges to build this
year it would be well for the towr
boards to apply Immediately in order
that the application may get on file
in time for work this summer.

Hans Anderson, Formerly Of Ks.
nosha, Committed Suicide ct
Winthrop Harbor Today
Rash DEED OF INSANE MAN
Calls Out ''Wen I'm All Right, I'm
Happy Now I'm Dying and
Slashes His Throat With
a Razor Dying at Once

Hans Anderson Dane who had been
a resident of Kenosha for many years
but who removed with his family to
Winthrop Harbor month ago, commit
ted suicide at that village just after
ten CLOCK this morning by slashing
his throat twice with razor. A few
seconds before he committed suicide he
had talked with one of the well known
residents of the village telling him that
some people were after him, but that he
had arranged a plan by which he would
get away from them.
j Anderson was undoubtedly insane.
An inquest is being held over the re-
mains this afternoon and they will be
| brought to Kenosha later in the day.
/ The arrangements for the funeral have
not as yet been made.
Anderson was about fifty years of
age and had been employed in one of
the Kenosha factories. He got out, of
work some time ago and since that he
had been respondent. He finally went
to Winthrop Harbor where he found
work for two of his boys in the fac
tories. Since going to Winthrop Har-
Dor he had shown signs of being in.
sane and had repeatedly called for the
protection Of officers claiming that
there was conspiracy to kill him. A
short time ago he ran through the
i bushes along the lake shore near the
| vii L r i
claiming that his enemies were close
on his trail and that he wanted to
make every possible effort to escape
them. He seemed to have recovered
somewhat from this attack of mental
disease but Tuesday his condition be-
came worse and this morning he was
about the town making all sorts of IT.
rational statements. After declaring
that he was going to get away from
his enemies he went to a room on the
second floor Of his home and finding
a razor there he prepared for death
The wife who was in one Of the lower
rooms of the house fearing that he was
planning to take his own life called
; hO1SuU W Gu6 mousse ana one or the
women managed to get the door lead
ing to the room open. Anderson was
standing with the razor in his hand.
He had already hacked his neck and the
blood was running freely from great
cash. In his frenzy he shouted to the
woman "Well I'm all right, [ am
happy now, I'm dying" These were
the last words of Anderson for as the
woman entered the door of the room
he again drew the razor across his
throat and this time the iugular vein
was severed.
Every possible effort was made to
save the mans life but he died in
about three minutes before physician
could be called to the house.
The suicide caused the widest ex-
; citement in the village and the coroner
was hurriedly summoned from Wauke-
gan to take charge of the remains and
hold the inquest. Anderson is said to
have been well known among the Dan
ish people of Kenosha. He is survived
/, by a widow and several children all
grown.
