nouncement Of her marriage to Belt.
I presume that she did not get along
with Belt very well. l knew nothing
of her becoming a princess. She is Of
age now, so l won't bother myself
with her troubles. | have troubles
enough of my own now"
In his suit for divorce Prince Brog-
lie charges the princess with adultery.
She says that the charge is false and
that it is a cruel and cowardly act
on the part of her husband to make
such a charge. She says that she has
been supporting him from the time
of their marriage in Chicago in 1906.
She says that he probably wants to
rid himself of his American wife to
marry some other woman or to effect
a reconciliation with his family.
The princess has a child by her no
bleman consort. The princess divorce
from Belt and her subsequent mar
rage TO the prince was one of the
social sensations of 1906, both in Eu-
rope and the United states.
The dispatch telling Of the suit for
divorce Is as follows.
Prince Robert De Broglie, whose
a .rft.r,1aFfpng st, a. -
1907 were ventilated in France and
tho United states, has abandoned his
wife and child and his lawyer has
announced the intention of the prince
to bring an action for divorce on the
ground Of adultery.
The Princess De BrOglie is an
American woman. Her maiden name
was Estelle Alexander and she lived
in San Francisco She was the di-
vorced wife OF sydney d. Belt when
she married the prince in Chicago in
1906
The princess was intensely indig-
nant at what she characterized the
"cruel and cowardly act" of her hus-
band. She said that the charge of
adultery was baselesS and that it had
been simply trumped up by the prince
who doubtless wanted to rid himself
of his American wife for the purpose
Of marrying another woman or to ef-
feet a reconciliation with his family.
Continuing, the princess said that
she had supported her husband by
her earnings on the stage this sum
mer. While at Ostend singing under
the name of Manitza she sent remit
tances regularly to the prince, who
was idling away his time at Cham
OuiX and other resorts.

TRUANCY OFFICER
BADLY NEEDED
School Census Shows Over Three
Thousand Children Ought TO BE 1
In School.

At the meeting of the school board
last night the clerk reported that he
had completed a census of school chill
dren and found that there are 3,461
of school age within the city limits.
The boys number LAG and the girls
1,715. The census last year showed
3,139 children of school age in the
city.
While the entire attendance OF ali
the schools cannot be learned until
the teachers have made their reports,
it is thought that probably 1,3e0 chill
dren are now attending the public
schools. Last year the attendance for
the year was 1878 and the average
attendance 1897. The enrolment this
year is expected to be about 800 more
than last year. The high school has
126 students and the Fourth ward
school will show the greatest gain.
While there are many children en-
rolled In private and religious schools
it appears from the figures that
number of children who ought TO be
in school are not there. and the en-
ployment OF a truancy officer is ex-
pected to bear fruit

dence of Mrs. Alexander and her two
daughters after they left Albuquerque
ten years ago. When shown the dis
patch this morning Mr.. Alexander

ter by his first wife, but he did not
know that she was a princess. He
said that he last heard from her seven
years ago when he received an an
nouncement of her marriage to sgd
ney D. Belt. She was on the stage in
Paris at that time, out since then he
had heard nothing from her.
Mr.. Alexander's story of the life
Of his family and his success and fall
ure since coming to Albuquerque is
one to cause the deepest sympathy.
Mr.. and Mrs Alexander came to AL
buquerque twenty-seven years ago. He
opened a store on North Second street
and was very successful in business,
until he became involved in divorce
suit with his wife. Six months after
they came to albuquerque Mrs. Alex
ander's father died In San Francisco,
leaving an estate of $4,000. He left
her $50. She contested the will and
Mr.. Alexander says that he became
very much involved in business way

Caused by Negroes.

tional deaths occurred this morning
as the result of the explosion of sew
eral hundred pounds Of dynamite and

Mo, yesterday. This with those who
died yesterday brings the total death

accused Of causing the explosion by
attempting a practical joke, will re-
cover. Herschberger was able to talk
this morning and emphatically denied
that he was responsible for the dis
astcr. He laid the blame TO negroes,
who, he declared, threw a lighted
match into a small pile Of powder
that had been spilled.

this is the first effort of an experienced

Culbertson began a year ago TO acquire

that immediate transportation is at hand

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 29.--No effective obstacles
were interposed to prevent the downward
drift of prices of stocks today. which seemed
on a much diminished volume OF business
from that which has been evident for many
days. Pressure to sell showed signs Of
urgency. but the benevolent control which has
been apparent since the present week was
withdrawn leaving the market to its tendency
The supporting measures which have been
obvious to even superficial observation, have
been attributed to the larger banking and
capital interests. the supposed motive being
the purpose to protect the market from an
undue effect from some of the recent develop
ments that had been dreaded.
The passing of several Of these incidents may
have accounted for the abandonment of pro-
tective measures in the market today. Ihe
appearance of the United States Steel cor
poration quarterly report, with its emphatic
testimony to the heavy contraction in the
business of the corporation followed the hnan-
clal crisis was the latest of these Incidents
Tho tenor of the report, however, had been
so clearly outlined in preliminary estimates,
both in the figures of the quarters net earn
ings and in the tonnage Of orders on hand,
that no marked change of sentiment was
caused by the reading of the report. The
heaviness of United States Steel led the down.
ward turn in prices.
dominant factor in the depression was the re-
ports of renewed measures against the power
Of corporations in contemplation at Washing
ton.
Very definite rumors were in circulation re-
garding the contents of special messages from
the president to congress, said TO be intended
for an early day, and bearing on a new em-
ployers' liability law, enlarged provision
against discrimination for union labor and
drastic restrictions on speculative operations
in the markets under the guise of anti-gamo-
ling regulations
There was a note of dissatisfaction percepu-
BILE in the financial district over the delay in
the retirement of a remnant of the clearing
house loan certificates issued TO tide over the
crisis. This further extension Of time for
this purpose should be deemed necessary to
insure two or three of the smaller banks from
enbarrassments, which it believed would
be caused by forcing their hand at this time
left the ultimate outcome of the situation in
today in the downward course of money rates
in the time loan department and the reaction
in foreign exchange the response TO this
condition.
The discussion OF a forthcoming New York
city loan for an amount intended to be from
s20O0o COO to SAC, 600 for long term and to
bear interest at AZ per cent also was an in
fluence in the money market. reduction in
quotations for copper at the New York metal
