crowds lined the beach and the piers jut-

and that he knew no more about the
cause or the circumstances of the death
than was conveyed to him by the press

THE sudden death of the due comes
as a terrible shock to u.s." said Mr..
Shonts. "Only this morning three let

his grit more and more. He is show

FREIGHT CARS CRIPPLED
BY BOY THIEVES

three hours in questioning the youth
full prisoners, emerged from the detec-
tives' room at police headquarters,
hopping the perspiratiOn from his
forehead.
My head aches" he said. 1T was
a hard job getting those boys to tell
the truth"
The policeman said that he learned
from the Edgar, Foster and Lettefair
boys that they had made a practice
of going to the Oregon Short Line
yards and stealing metal. They made
a speciality of stealing the triple valves
of the airbrakes. because they were
made of copper, according to their al
legged confession.
AS the willy junk dealers had in
formed them that pieces of metal that
anyone could see had been stolen from
a railroad would not be purchased, the
boys would go to their rendezvous
along the Jordan river and heat the
stolen triple valves in a fire, after
which they would smash them into
small pieces.
The boys seemed ignorant of the
danger to freight trains which would
have resulted had any of the crippled
cars been sent out on the main line.
One Chicken Thief.
The Foster and the Lettefair boys
so far as the police were able to learn
yesterday, have never before been in
trouble The Edgar boy a short time
ago served sixty days in the city jail
for stealing chickens. He and another
boy became intoxicated in the house OF
Edgar's brother-in-law one night about
three months ago. The two boys, while
in that condition, went to an adjOin-
ing house and stole seven chickens.
After wringing off the heads of the
chickens, the boys gave the stoler
fowls to the man who is alleged tC
have furnished them the liquor with
which they became intoxicated. The
man, knowing that the chickens haC
been stolen, saddled a horse and took
the plumber to a house some distance
away.
In the police court both of the boys
were sentenced to Imprisonment in the
city Jail. The man who figured in the
case was not prosecuted.
Edgar was not sent to the juvenile
court for the theft of the chickens, be
cause he at that time claimed TO be 1!
years old.
1t is said that the operations of the
metal thieves were not confined TO the
Oregon Short Line yards, but that Rio
Grande cars were also stripped.
Other arrests will be made. 1t is tbs
! intention of the police to use every eff
/ fort to have the junk dealer who re-
ceived the stolen metal severely pun
ished.

MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT HAD
BEEN PROPERLY FIXED.

Paris, April 25.-The body of the Due
de Chaulnes, who died suddenly from
heart failure at II o'clock Thursday
night in his bedroom in the Hotel
Langham, was conveyed at daylight
this morning from the hotel to the
Church of ST. Phillip. 1t was accom-

attendants and the Due de Luynes. a
cousin of the Due de Chaulnes, and the
official head of the De Chaulnes house
hold. The curate of the church re-
ceived the coffin at the door. 1t was
escorted to the crypt and. after a sim
pie blessing, there deposited. The body
will remain I'm St. Phillips pending
completion of the arrangements for the
funeral These will be settled upon
definitely upon the arrival of the Ouch
ess Dues and her husband 1t is
practically certain. however. that the
funeral and interment will occur at the
Chateau Dempierre, the ancestral res
idence of the Luynes outside of Paris.
Widow Retires to Chateau.
The Duchess de La Rouchefoucauld
and Princess GalitZin, an aunt of the
young due. remained last night with
the widowed duchess, who was Miss
Theodore Shonts of New York. Early
this afternoon the duchess went down
to the Chateau Dempierre, accompa-
MED by the Due de Luynes.
The false reports that. the Due de
Chaulnes had died in his sisters apart
ments in the Rue Van Dyke arose
from the desire of the management of
the. Hotel Langham to make it appear
that the death of the due had not oc-

Much Scandal Raked Up.
On account of the Due de Chaulnes'
connections with the old French nObil-
ity, the newspapers of Paris give much
prominence to his tragic death. Some
of them take no pains TO spare the
memory of the dead, raking up not
only the escapades of his youth, but
recalling the sad story of his mother,
the beautiful Princess Galitzin, who
| died rniserably in a garnet at Bellevue
after a prolonged and sensational dis
pute with the austere Duchess de
/ Chevreuz over the possession Of her
i children. They describe how the Due
! de Chaulnes recklessly squandered the
/ fortune left him by hin grandmother
and make no attempt TO gloss over
some methods in which it is alleged he
spent his patrimony.
Creditors Got Left.
The Matin concludes it's articles with
| these words:
"The descendant of an illustrious IA
vOrite of Catherine de Medici at last
returned TO France with a millionaire
wife. His creditors were much elated
only TO find that the marriage had &C.
CURED under a regime of separation OF
property and that his personal fortune

/ this sudden death, and 1t is a pity, fol
at heart he was a good fellow. His
American wife is now a widow, but
she is still the Duchess de ChaulneS
Let us hope that this title, which has
weighed so. heavily on certain womer
of the younger branches of the Luynes
may be lightened for her.

Cheers did not suffice to express their
emotion. the waving of flags and the
the groups of tired people that stood for
hours patiently awaiting the coming of
the ships and the tears that filled eyes
strained seward as one by one they
faded from view were evidences of the

eighteen hours a stream of people poured

who witnessed it. Instead of enter

out at 4. the other, the storm whirled
and Seesawed about. Once or twice.
judging from the lay of the debris to-
day, the wind veered so much as near
ly to double on its trail. The result
was terrible for the inhabitants, many
of whom were caught and either in
jured or killed, after they had appa-
rently escaped.
Too Scared to Escape.
The usual freaks were played by
the wind. Twenty-seven prisoners
were in the little town Jail The roof
was lifted off, but so terrorstricken
were they that not one gained his free
dom. None of the prisoners was Sc
riously injured.
The Wreckage which remained on
the site of a lumber mill near town,
consisting largely of splinters from
the size of q toothpick up to small
sticks.
The total money loss at Purvis was
today estimated at 100000. These fig

business men, each of whom calcu-
lated his individual loss.
