PRINCE DISGUISED
FOOLS REPORTERS
DE SAGAN IN SLOUGH HAT AND
WHISPERS VISITS NINE.
GOULD DAILY.

| New York, April 3. - That Prince
de Sagan, disguised in SLOUGH hat
and black whiskers, has been slipping
by the reporters every day on secret
visits to Nine. Gould at the St. Regis
is the latest development in the love
story of the foreign nobleman and
the American heiress.
Although the prince was not seen
making his calls upon the woman to
whom he is conceded to be engaged,
nevertheless that such visits We're
made was admitted by the prince last
night, Since Nine. Gould was brought
down on Monday by the attack of
bronchitis the prince has spent much
of his time with her.
Her illness also went far toward
bringing about a reconciliation with
members Of her family Her sister,
Miss Helen Gould, made her several
visits, as has also Mrs. Frank Gould,
while George, with whom she had
violent quarrel on Saturday, remem-
bers her with huge boxes of flowers
almost daily.
Edwin Gould, Mediator.
Since the return of Edwin Gould,
who had been south for some time,
he constantly has interceded in his
sisters behalf with other members of
the family and acted as a mediator
between the warning factions. AS Ed
win has always been Anna Gould's
favorite brother, his good offices are
said to have been a most effective
agency in restoring harmony.
Nine. Gould is reported as being
much better today She has so far re-
covered from her indisposition that
her physician, DR.. Anderton, allowed
her to go outdoors for three-quarters
Of an hour
AS an evidence of the restoration
of good feeling Miss Helen Gould sent
around the automobile for Nine.
Gould to take an airing. Mrs. Frank
Gould called with her two children.
Prince Discusses Socialist.
When seen in his apartments in the
Waldorf-Astoria last night the prince
was asked what he thought of the Gin
cinnati socialist who had sent letter
to the immigration bureau at Wash
ington, asking that he be deported
from the country as one without Wis
ible means of support. The prince
shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
ut is socialist who sent it," he re-
piled. What else need I say? Also, If
have no visible means of support 1t
must be that the duchy of Sagan, my
patrimony, has vanished"
When told of cabled extract from
the French publication, Gil Bias,
which referred to him as a fortune
hunter, and sneered at his often re.
peated saying that man should mar
ry for love-" the prince said: "Well,
there are only three publications in
France which treat me unjustly and
Gil Bias is one of them"

Ask for Injunction.

A motion has been filed in Chan

West Tennessee Land Company,
asking an injunction restraining Ira
Rubel, Sam Applewhite ct ais from
fishing on the lake. The injunction
has been expected for some time as
it has been reported that the fisher

continuing to fish without paying
royalty.to the land company. The

states that the fish are being dispos-

with the result that number have
been indicted. The feeling in that
county is very high and for some
time it has been reported that citi-

Obion and arrest the men they
wanted and hang them and for some
time on both sides armed men have
kept an unceasing Vigil. News was
conveyed to Sheriff Finch that the
Lake County men would seek to
serve the warrents issued by the
grand jury. Mr.. Finch promptly
notified Deputy Mayo at Hornbeak
to inform the Lake County officials
to send him any papers they might
have to serve in this county and
that he would see that they we're
