ABRUzzI GOES TO ITALY
TO GET HIS KINGS
CONSENT
Nobleman Has Appearance OF
Man Whose Important Mis-
sion Has Not Failed.
BELIEVE ROYAL TITLE
WILL BE GRANTED

New York, March 21.-The duke of
Abruzzi, cousin of the King of Italy.
and who is reported engaged to Miss
Katherine Elkins. daughter of Sena-
tor Elklns of West Virginia and
granddaughter OF Henry Gassaway
Davis, the multi ti-millionaire. sailed
today for Europe on the steamer Lu-
sitania. The duke declined to deny
or affirm his reported engagement
but his demeanor was regarded by
the newspaper reporters who saw him
at the pier as not that of a man who
had failed in an important mission.
1t is reported that the duke Is return
ing to Italy to confer with King En-
manuel in regard to his engagement
TO the American girl, and il is gener-
ally believed that the dispatch from
Rome a few days ago which stated
that Miss Elkins would be created
royal highness' when she married
the duke is true. by this action any
objection to the marriage in the mat
ter of family and position would be
overcome.
Society has been anxlously waiting
for the announcement Of the engagn-
ment and expected that it would be
made before the duke left, but it is
now thought that the objection to the
alliance OF royalty with plebian blood
has not been fully overcome and that
the duke must first consult his king
1t is believed, however, that the duke
and Miss Elkius are engaged but that
until everything Is finally settled no
announcement will be made.

Walker had already lost more than
5000, 900 in speculation in Wall street
when he met big Al" Whitney in
Latham & Co.'s office at Nos. 41-43
Wall street. Whitney Is one of the
most notorious "steerers" in the busi-
ness, and has turned many shady
deal. For years he has been operat-
ing in New York and other large
cities. and often has gone to London
and Paris in search of victims, aiding
the card sharps on his trips across
the ocean.
Walker was a frequent visitor at
the office of Latham & Co., and was
one of the best customers of the firm.
whitney got the tip that Walker was
"a good thing and the results proved
that the tip was straight" walker
fell an easy dupe to Whitney, VINO en-
tertained the New Britain banker at
dinners, opening wine with a lavish
hand. They often visited the Hotel
York, at Seventh avenue and Thirty
sixth street. and the Herald Square
hotel, in Thirty-fourth street, just off
Broadway. Whitney introduced Walk
er to several congenial companions,
but It was not until the bankers con-
fidence had been fully gained that the
get-rich- quick scheme was proposed
20 him
Whitney told him of his own un-
fortunate ventures in the stock mar
ket and Walker unbosomed himself
and related his mlsfortunes.
After a few weeks of this Walker
was induced to go against the pool
room game. He won his first bet Of
$1.100, as he was permitted to do
by the gang" and kept on until he
had lost $295,OO0, mostly his banks
money. Then he went to Cuba in
disguise and remained there for some
time. Later he went to Mexico and
was finally caught at Ensanada.
An effort was made to secure his
release on technical grounds, but the
Mexican authorities refused to turn
him loose and a Mexican court de-
cided that he could be extradited un-
der the terms of the treaty between
the United Statt5 and Mexico.
