GERMAN COUNT
SW|NDLED MANY
Pittsburgers Now Have Moth
ing But Revenge for
Won ECkstadt.
HE is UNDER ARREST.
MEMBER OF FAMOUS "ROUND IA
BILE" CAUGHT ON COAST AND
HE WILL BE RETURNED TO
FATHERLAND.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 26.-Much ex-
news of the arrest of Count Vutzthum
Won Eckstadt, one of the Round
Table of Germany, in San Francisco
: and information is brought out that
for some time the count was a fugi
tive hiding in Pittsburg, and that, in
less than two weeks time here. got
perhaps S250,000 worth in real cash
or Jewels
The Commandments in this city
appeared to go mad over the titled
foreigner, and he lost no caste when
he confided to some of his entertain
ers here that he was one of the per-
sons wanted at home for figuring in
the German Round Table, which has
been so mercilessly exposed by Edi-
| tor Harden.
Incensed over the scheme by which
| they have been victimized by the
count, several Pittsburgers employed
Detective G. F. Gratz, of Pittsburg. to
run him down. and it was mainly
| through the efforts of the local de-
tective that Count Won Eckstadt was
| located on the coast The Pittsburg-
ers having assisted in the arrest of
the noted German will now permit the
German government to deal with him.
1t comes out that while making his
splurge in Pittsburg the count met a
| beautiful girl of Orange, n. j.. who
was visiting here and made violent
love to her, marrying her in one
weeks time. After few days of hon
| eymoon the count shipped his bride
to her New Jersey home, and later
confided to friends that his father,
hearing he had married beneath his
rank, threatened to disown him.
| 1t was the game of the count to in
gratiate himself into the good graces
of the more wealthy German-Amer-
leans Of Pittsburg, it is alleged Aug
ust Reiber, one of the leading Ger
man-Americans of Pittsburg, is short
several thousand dollars through his
friendship, while Charles Rosenthal,
! rece ntly of Berlin, leading wine i'm
porter of the district, is also a heavy
loser.
| The count made his case look so
good that Rosenthal invited him to
| live in his house. When the count
| left Rosenthal was short most of his
wardrobe and lot of diamonds. One
well known citizen has threatened to
shoot Count Won Eckstadt on sight
because his daughter gave her bank
book and jewel case into the count S
| keeping, and she is now looking for
him.

THE MILK INSPECTION.

A public official who is fearless in
his duty wins the regard and apprecia-
ton of all men. An inspector of the
state has come to Richmond and aft
err making a careful investigation of
the diaries from which milk is sup
piled to the city. issues his report
that condemns some dealers as freely
as it commends others. 1t is impossi-
BILE to believe that conditions have
been SO bad; that the milk supply has
been so open to bacteria and disease
germs. Yet the inspector exercised
the power vested in him by law and
put some diaries out of business un.
til conditions are improved.
The investigation was a timely. one

system just exposed had been al

health department now see to it that

bic, the instruction Of delegates to the
Denver convention, taken - . whole
must not be. regarded as corrupt.
They have their origin much more
largely in the sincere wish Of many
Democrats to do the best possible
thing for the party and to have .
chance in the Denver convention to
deliberate on this question. For ex-
ample, the country does not distrust
the other candidates-Johnson and
Gray, who are active, or. Harmon,
Douglass and Culberson, who are
merely mentioned. The fact that
these candidates. Individually and COL
lectively, are tacitly opposed to Mr..
Bryan does not mean that they are
beholden or would be beholden to
corrupt interests unfriendly to the
Nebraskan.
In tins respect the situation Is quite
different from that on the Republican
side. Between Mr.. TAFT and the
"allies" there is the long standing
issue between President Roosevelt and
the corporate interests. This issue is
we'll defined. The people have en-
Enthusiastically supported the President
and they have instinctively followed
the candidate who best represents the
policies Of tie Roosevelt administra-
ton. They just as inatinctively dis.
trust the allied opposition, for it il we'll
known that this opposition that is the
so-called Fields backed by the
corporations 1t will be seen, there

reason for Taft instructions than there
is for Bryan instructions. kansas
