Harrach asserts he is Eugene 9th
mar, Count Won Harrach, one of the

pire. He also claims to be related to
the family of Count Otto Won Wald-
stein, who a year ago was enormously
thought to have been the supposed

identity
In the meantime Harrach is detained
in jail pending the investigation now
being made by the police as to his
identity. The prisoner has spent some
eight weeks in this city, living at one
of the leading hotels and spending
money lavishly. All of his hotel bills,

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The judici-
airy committee of the house is asked to
refrain from casting aspersions upon
! the judicial character and methods of
Judge Whitley of Shanghai in a letter
sent by the executive committee of the
American Asiatic associa tion, and made
public today
The letter is addressed to Congress-
man John j. Jenkins, chairman of the
committee on judiciary. 1t urges the
committee to withhold it's approval
from those portions of the reports of
its subcommittee which reflect upon
Judge Wilhey. and declares that the
committee fully discharged it's duties in
finding that the charges, even If sup
ported by legal evidence, furnished no
grounds for impeachment of the judge.
The communication ass-rts that a
gross injustice has been done to the
Judge in censuring indiscriminately his
court without giving him a hearing
that members of the Asiatic association
who have observed Judge Wilney's
methods have been strongly impressed
with the value of his services, and that
he merits the respect and gratitude of
every respectable man and woman
within the jurisdiction of his court.

coIored Candy Believed RESPONSE
BILE for Ptomaine Poisoning
in Chicago

Ky Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April "A coroner's in
vestigation of the death of William
Myers yesterday left the cause OF the
bov's fatal illness so elouded with
doubt that the physicians in charge OF
the case will make an inquiry into the
purity of the ingredients used in an
old-fashioned remedy administered by
his mother.
Treacle, a mixture of molasses and
sulphur, is one of the two suspected
sources of poisoning. The other is that
artifcially colored candy provided the
deadly element.
The jury found death had been
caused by gastro-enteritis, resulting
from ptomaine poisoning.
A second child of the family, Charles
Myers, Z years old, was attacked by
the same illness about the same time
as his brother who was 13 years old
hut a more hardy constitution is ex-
pected to pull him through.
