FORGE TITLES OF NOBILITY.
Many Persons In Austria and BO-
hemIa 10 Be Prosecuted.

Vienna, Feb. 15.-The Vienna papers
state that prosecutions have been ordered
against certain forgers of false patents of
nobility, and VIII affect a number Of per-
sons in Prague and Vienna. The authori-
ties have for some time past been devot-
ing attention to this infringement Of the
soversign's rights, and already one case
has been brought to trial In 1900 the
heralds Office in Vienna ascertained that
petitions had been presented for the en-
n0bling Of certain persons, and that some
were granted upon false pretenses. Sew
eral prosecutions were then undertaken,
both here and at Berlin. The newly or
ganiZed heTaIds Office has now demanded
from a large number of persons that
proofs OF the grounds upon which their
title are held shall be sent 10 the presi-
dent Of the Vienna Office
In some cases the right has been shown.
but in others il has been asceTtained that
people who for decades had adorned their
names with the predicate Of nobility are
unable to give cause for this assumption.
Several Of these persons are highly placed
civil and military dignitaries Various
forged cases have already been discOv-
cred. both at Vienna and PTagie, as well
as in other provincial! capitals.

BERLIN STARTLED By CRIMES
Many Mysterious Murders and Nc
Clews to Perpetrators Found,
Detectives Are blamed for COndi-
Prusslan Diet.

Berlin. Feb I5s-POlice and public are
becoming alarmed az the increasing fre-
quency Of murders IN Berlin. There have
already been four horrible crimes in this
city since the beginning Of the year
A NTH came to light yesterday. when
the battered corpse of a widow named
Rosa Wiesner was discovered in her lodg-
ing. where il had lain for eleven days.
The authors of the three murders perpe-
traced and there seems scant prospect OF
the police being able to lay hands on the
murderer of Frau WiesneT.
The victim was woman OF thirty-eight
with a little money saved. which she lent
out at interest. and she also took in
one Of these people on entering at mid
day, found a note stating that Frau Wies-
neT had gone away for few days to the
funeral Of her sister.
The lOdger was quite unsuspieious that
anything wrong had occurred. and slept
nightly in the room next to the chamber
where his landlady lay murdered IN her
bed until yesterday, when he noticed a
peculiar odor and notified the police. All
the authorities have to go on are a note.
which is evidently the work Of the muir
derer, and heavy ak. wherewith the
crime was committed

ministry of justice In the Prussian Diet
the Conservative deputy Herr Strosser

crimes Of violence i'm Berlin and other
large towns In Prussia. lie referred to
the number of attacks oR women and
children and expressed regret that So
many misdeeds remained unexplained He
declared that the PTussiau detective force

LONDON EXPECTS SENSATION.
Action OF Unknown Claimant 10 de
Mauley Title Suspicious.

London, Feb. 15--Ts there 10 be a con-
test, like the Druce case, over Lord de
Mauiey's title and estates?
An incident in the House Of Lords on
the day Parliament convened gave rise
to the suspicion that something of the
kind may be contemplated Who the
claimant is no one seems to know. Ru-
NOR has IL. however. that he has con-
suited counsel and that his identity and
the basis of his contention will soon be
revealed
It happened Ike this:
When the peers took their seats the
high officials OF the House noticed an un-
familiar face and figure among those
on the benches allotted to the barons.
The owner wore a peers robe and bore
himself with dignity. He had passed the
dOOTkeepeT's scrutiny. and been saluted
by successive police constables.
Who could he be? Was he one Of those
known peers who seldom attend House
sessions. but who had for once emerged
from his obscurity?
Garter King at Arms conferred with
Black Rod and finally asked the stranger
10 tell who he was. lie said he was Lord
;i's ;,;..uIey, Inasmuch as Lord de Mauley
was seated near by, Garter King at Arms
concluded this story wouldn't wash. So
he asked the stranger 70 retire.
The stranger did so, but there wasn't
the least sign of embarrassment on his
part He calmly threw hie robe over his
arm and marched majestically out a few
minutes before the royal procession ar
rived.
All London has been puzzling its head
ever since TO decide who he really IS 1t

Paris. Feb. 15.-If the scheme which has
Just been worked out by an enthusiastic
body of French. German. and Belgian Es-
perantists can be realized. the next year
or two viii see the birth Of an indepeud-
ent Esperanto state in Europe.
ft is proposed to secure the good will
and assent 10 the establishment of the
new state Of the governments OF France.
Germany. Belgium and Holland. The
site will be on a neutral strip of territory
which lies on the frontier between Ger
many, Belgium. and Holland, some five
miles from Aix-la-Ch9pelle. This terri
tory is known as Moresnet. is situated in
pleasant valley. possesses a small ca
sino, has neutral population, half Ger
man and half Belgian. of 5000 inhabitants,
and IS traversed by electric tramway cars
from Aix-la-Chapelle and from the Bel
gian side of the frontier.
Originator of Scheme.
The organizer and promoter OF the new
scheme is the well-known French Esper-
antist, Prof Roy who says that the class
of men most interested in the diffusion Of
an international language is the CONNER
cial traveller class. NJ. Roy and his asso-
ciates have therefore proposed the forma-
ton Of an International commercial trav-
elers' syndicate which shall have its
headquarters in the new state.
1t is proposed, if the assent of the Ger
man and Belgian governments can be Sc
cured, To make the miniature state as at
tractive as possible as a holiday resort for
ali commercial trevelers and for EspeF-
Artists generally. There is 20 be a first
class and completely equipped commercial
club and chamber for the protection of
Esperanto interests.
An Esperanto college is 10 be founded
and Esperanto is to be the official Ian
guage Of the place. No taxes would be
levied, and the expenses of the state,
which would be run In an economical
manner, would be borne by the subscrip-
tions OF EspeTantists all the world over.
An Esperanto Parliament.
The scheme includes an Esperanto the
alter, a daily official Esperanto gazette
and sort of Esperantist parliament
which will meet periodically TO discuss
the affairs of the little state. The head
Of the state. republican in constitution,
will be the president for the time being
Of the suggested international Esperantist
Academy. The state is not TO be allowed
