Hearst News Service.

Berlin, October Interpretations are
going forward for elaborate festivi-
tives which will mark the wedding of
the kaiser's fourth son, Prince Angus:
Wilhelm, to his beautiful cousin, Prin-
cess Adelaide, of Schleswig-H olstein-
Sonderburg-G luckburgf. The cere-
mony will take place two weeks from
tomorrow, October %, which will be
the 50th birthday of the empress,
mother of the bridegroom. The Prince
was 81 last January, while his pros
pective bride will be 10 on October 10.
On her birthday, three days before
the date set for the wedding, she will
be escorted into Berlin with all the
pomp and circumstances customarily
exhibited when new brides are ad-
mitted into the imperial family of the
Hohenzollerns.
Prince August Wilhelm is an athletic
young man, and fonder of sports and
military pursuits than of intellectual
culture. His imperial father offered
him the alternative of marriage or a
postgraduate course at Harvard Uni
versity, and rather than go to Ameri-
ca for another long period of study,
the prince chose matrimony. AS usual,
the German newspapers declare that
the match is purely love affair.""
and as the princess is a beautiful and
charming young woman, it is quite
possible that the prince may have
fallen in love with the bride forced up
on him by the exigencies of royal
etiquette.

notorious police characters in the
northwest, was released from Jail
this morning and ordered from the
city, following his serving SEN
tence in Jail for vagrancy. While
incarcerated he became unruly and
refused to work on the rockpile.
Chief Rice then administered the
severer penalty of bread and
water.

work, then you will be fed like
other prisoners" the chief told
Weber.
Weber remained obdurate the
balance of his 80 day sentence. AS
he left the station this morning he
said that he was going to strike
for Seattle Immediately and not
stop for a shave, which he needed,

to disguise myself and run me in

Weber has probably been ar
rested 100 times by the local po-
lice and any number Of times by
the police of other cities. Although
nothing but petty larceny crimes
were ever formally charged
against him. he is thought to be
responsible for holdups which the
police have never been able to Sc
cure evidence in.
When holdup occurs while
Weber is in the city, he is always
arrested, In hopes that the victims
can identify him as the man.
Weber Is man Of considerable
intelligence. The police say he is
either the cleverest crook they
have had to deal with, or he is
peculiarly unfortunate. His feat

BOTH
BURNS AND
RUFF

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3D.
RuSf. who is charged with offer
ing brides to former supervisor
to secure his vote for the passage
of the overhead trolley franchise,
was accused today on the stand
by a.. S. Latham, his former
chauffeur, with influencing him to
commit bribery before the grand
jury at the time of the graft in
vestigations.
He also said Detective Burns
urged him to tell untruths to the
jury.
At first Latham denied any
knowledge of Ruef's affairs. Sud-
denly confronted with his own af-
fidavit in which he admitted TAX
ing Ruef to the Offices of the
United Railroads. he became
ratified and confessed that he
signed the affidavit at the request
of Burns.
The testimony was admitted aft
fer a bitter row in which Judge
Harper, who represented Latham,
objected to Latham taking the
stand. The court overruled him.
The affidavit said Ruef obtained
a shirt box at haberdashery and
took 1t to the Offices of the rail
way. He supposed bride money
was taken from the Offices in the
box. This was in May, 1906.
Latham admitted he told untruths
to the jury.
"Who told you to tell them?"
was asked him.
Burns and Ruef," said the wit

WITNESS
ASDISAPPEARED
Police Express Fear for Life Of Man Who
Saw Suspect With Victim. :

One of the star witnesses for
the police in the Danieluk MUIR
der and robbery case has mysteri-
ously dropped out of sight and the
belief that he has met with foul
play is expressed. Although this
man was a transient, known as a
"floater" to the police, it is not
believed that he left the city of his
own volition, as he repeatedly ex-
pressed himself as determined to
give his evidence and fix the
crime upon Mike Lockovitch, the
Montenegro suspect, who he
identified.
Has this man, too, met with the
fate of George Danieluk, whose
dead body with seven stab wounds
inflicted was found Tuesday even
ing laying in the middle of the
road on Ferry avenue near the
Great Northern freight house?
The inquest over the remains of
Danieluk will be held under di-
rection of Coroner Witter at the
morgue at Z o'clock this evening.
The prosecution until Saturday
had two witnesses who swore that
Mike Lockovitch, a Montenegro,
arrested on suspicion that he was
one Of the murderers, was seen
with Danieluk, who was drunk,
less than an hour before the body
was found, and about 100 yards
from where it was found One of
these witnesses cannot be found

CITY MUST PAY
THE BILL

A portion of the retaining wall
on Ide avenue near Walnut street
gave way Saturday night and the
rocks rolled down hill with a roar
The cause is attributed at the city
hall to the steady rain of the last
few days undermining the wall at
that point.
The demolished wall has been
fenced and will be repaired under
direction of the street department.
1t was constructed by Contractor
H. l.. Lilienthal. There are no
maintenance clauses in improve
ment contracts other than paving,
and for this reason the repairs
must be undertken at general ex-
pense. The place where the cave

the automobile accident which
killed Mrs. Mary l.. Nichols.

Attorney Raises This Point
in Appeal to Save
Barkar.

Alexander H. Gregg, attorney for
Frank Barkar, whom the jury by
its verdict Saturday night said
should hang for the killing of Ira
Messenger, today announced that
he will carry the case to the SUI
preme court in the event that the
court refuses to grant Barkar a
new trial. The chief ground for
such an appeal will be the admis-
sion of Barkar's confession as evil

In this appeal, II 1t Is taken, the
whole subject of confessions will
be threshed out before the higher
court. and an effort made to get a

There is no room for sescret vest

more than he will tell. With one
witness the state can hardly in
duce coroner's jury to hold
LOckovitch. LOckovitch denies
that he was with the murdered

only one witness to refute this
statement. he can hardly be held.

was brought to police headquar-

kept in the dock until Paul could

was not issued because differences

The trouble arose over Pauls

bank and put this into the bust

not put up cent but, nevertheless,
ordered him out of the "parlors"
and declared him not partner
