MORGANATIC WIFE HONORED.
Kaiser Showers FavOrs on Duchess Of
HOhenberg, Now i'm Berlin.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE Kaiser's treat
ment of the recently created Duchess
of Hohenberg, formerly Sophie Chotek,
the morganatic wife of Archduke
Franz Ferdinand of Austria, who is
now visiting Berlin, is engaging gen.
era1 attention.
When the royal visitors alighted
from the train, the Kaiser presented
the duchess with splendid bouquet,
and has been pointedly polite to her
ever since. He crowned her gracious
ness last night by seating her at din
ner at his right hand, between him
self and the Crown Prince Frederick
William.
This is the first time in the history
of the house of Hohenzollern when
such a break in the etiquette has been
made at the reception of moragnatic

NOTED TRIAL CLOSES
Dramatic Scene in the Court
Room, When Nine:
SteinheiI was Freed
At One Time the Jury Stood Three for
Conviction of Numbering
Husband and Step Mother.
Cheered by Crowds.

Paris, Nov. 14.-Mme. Margarita
an early hour this morning of
the murder of her husband, Adolph
Steinheil, noted painter, and her
step-mother, Nine. Japy. The verdict
was rendered at 1885 a. M, after two
and a half hours deliberation during
which the jury thrice summoned the
president of the court for explanations
thus proving that the original major
ity was for conviction.
To some degree sentiment and a
stuffy, crowded courtroom favored
the prisoner and the delay caused
much apprehension. With the first
appearance of the jury, however, sew
eraI of whom were smiling, an instinc-
tive feeling of acquittal flashed
through the courtroom.
A dramatic scene followed. The
red-robed judges and counsel filed in
and took their places. Every eye was
riveted on the door through which
the prisoner should enter, but she did
not appear. M. DeValles, the presid-
ing judge, turned to the jury and said:
"Haye you reached a verdict?'
The foreman arose and replied, con
our conscience we answer No to
every question"
A salvo of "Bravos' followed this
announcement and a perfect bedlam
broke loose. M. Aubin, counsel for
Nine Steinheil embraced his col
leagues. Men and women in the rea--
of the hall jumped and screamed for
JOY. The judge threatened to clear
the courtroom and when a semblance
of order was restored, he called,
Bring in the accused"
Fully two minutes passed before
the black-robed figure, with white
face dropping on her breast, appeared
in the doorway supported on either
side by a gendarme. The woman
swayed and seemed to be fainting. but
! in response to a wild outburst of
cheers she lifted her head and looked
about, smiling family in acknowledge
ment. Then she tottered forward and
sank on the floor beside the rail.
When the judge pronounced the yer
dict her faint murmur of thanks was
hardly heard. An instant after, M
Aubin was over the rail, lifting her iI
his arms. The crowds surged for
ward in a solid wall, making the
rafters ring with cheers. Outside the
gloomy court house tens of thousands
who had been awaiting for hours tool
UP the cry. Special editions of thu
papers spread the news like wild-fir'
through the boulevards, where thou
sands more were waiting in front @
the cafes and the same scenes of re
joic;ns were Witnessed there.
1t is understood that the jury stoo'
nine for acquitta1 and three for con
viction.
The ceremony of 1iberating Nine
Steinheil occurred soon after her &C
Quittal and the woman, heavily veile6
accompanied by a relative and one c
her lawyers, entered a high-powere
automobile and dashed away to an un
known destination hotly pursued
newspaper reporters.

mob ATTACKS GREEKS
IL Persons Hurt and 80 Homes
Wrecked in Omaha, Nebr.
THE SITUATION is SERIOUS
Terrible Outbreak Followed the Murder
of Policeman BY Greek Who
Was Under Arrest.

Omaha, Neb.-Bent on avenging the
murder of Patrolman Edward Low
cry, who was shot by a Greek pris-
oner, some 5000 men and boys part
ly wrecked thirty buildings in the
Greek quarter of South Omaha, and
created a riot, during which two boys
were wounded with bird shot, and q
dozen other persons were injured
with missiles of various sorts, used
in smashing buildings occupied by
Greeks.
The riots followed a mass meeting,
at which two state legislators and an
attorney harangued the crowd.
The police were helpless for al
most three hours to dispense the ri
oters, and Greek residents fed in
panic from the quarter attacked.
while the mob wrecked property.
Even after the police gained con-
troll, they could not dispense the
crowd.
A crowd Of perhaps 1900 or 1000
quickly gathered to augment the size
of the ROB, and a general assault
was begun on the homes and bust
ness places Of the Greeks. The
maddened crowd began it's work OF
destruction by throwing stones and
bricks through the windows Of stores
and houses known to be occupied
by Greeks.
The three attacks were made al
most simultaneously and the destruc-
ton was completed before Chief
Briggs could get his scattered force,
which is not great at any time, to-
gether and stop the depredations. IN
the meantime Sheriff Bradley was no
tilted. He collected all the deputies
possible and rushed them to South
Omaha to aid the police. 1t took
some time to get the force organized
and during the interval Greeks were
attacked on every hand.
Members of the mob assaulted
many Italians and Roumanians, who
were mistaken for Greeks.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to lynch the Greek who killed Pa
trolman Lowrey and this was follow
ed by call for mass meeting tc
take some action with regard to the
Greeks. Nearly thousand people at
tended the mass meeting.
The tone of the speeches was gen
orally hostile to the Greeks, and At
torney H. G. Murphy, who was the
last speaker, laid special stress or
what he termed the undesirability Of
this class of foreigner.
"The blood of an American is or
the hands Of these Greeks" he
stated in closing his speech, "and
some method should be adopted t.
avenge his death and rid the city Of
this class of persons"
The meeting was then dismissed
and half the audience rushed to the
creek quarter, where the destruction
began.
