is counsel for Miss Virginia Wardlaw,

When her pedigree had been taken,
detectives tried to question her con-
cerning the case, but she was able to
reply only that | Will not talk about

my lawyer"
In the bath room of Mrs, Martins
rCcm az the hotel were found three
undated notes written in q girlish

but are substantially as follows:

ence to criticism there is reason to
believe King Leopold was stung to the
quick by the worlds wrath over his
conduct in the Congo matter and that
he never recovered from this. He
was always convinced that American
criticism was sincere. although he inn
patiently sought to explain 10 his
friends that il was the work of "prat-
| Ting missionaries. He had an obses-
sion. however, that the British attacks
against him We're not free from ical-
/ ousy.
NJ. Renkin, minister for the colonies
in an impassioned speech in the
chamber today repudiated the criu-
cism emanating from England, that
Belgian was exploiting the natives and
denied the charges of oppression and
cruelty. He pointed out that there
had been great progress in the general
prosperity of the country, in the
amelioradon of the burdens of the
ltives and in safeguarding their
health.
The minister asked the world to
suspend its opinion and give Belgium
a chance to show her worth
Whatever the judgment may be on
Leopold from the broad standpoint Of
morality ii is interesting to note now
his intellect and personality have sue
ceeded in impressng both foreigners
and Belgians with whom he came into
intimate contact There is an unani-
nifty of opinion that the king is one
of the shrewdest and ablest of men,
with an astounding capacity for busi-
ness. a great organizer, rightinly de-
serving the name OF Leopold the
Builder"
It is understood that Leopold's per-
sonal fortune is enormous and that If
the figures were known they would
startle the world. Besides extensive
properties in Belgium and France he
has immense holdings in American
securities. The earnings of his enter
prses in the Congo are said to be
stupendous. Much speculation as to
the destination of his wealth has been
aroused by the announcement that he
recently consulted Premier Schollaert
in regard to a political testament.
The kings life has been shattered
by domestic tragedies His only son
is dead and his eldest daughters have
been banished.
Princess Louise has been divorced
and pursued by creditors. Princess
Stephanie the king has never forgiven
because, after the dark episode of her
husbands death, she insisted upon
marrying Count Lonyaya.
The king turned to Princess Glenn
entine upon whom he lavished atfec-
ton, but he found time to devote him
self also to Baroness Vaughan, on
whom he showered a fortune. 1t is
whispered in court that Leopold IN
tends to provide handsomely for the
baroness and her children.
Princess Stephanie who reached
here today, and was respectfully
greeted by crowd at the station. She
is great favorite with the Belgians.
The princess declared that she came
not for material gain, but u see her
father whom she loved, despite the
fact that he had repulsed her at her
mothers death bed
