BARONESS GOES
FROM BRUSSELS
LEOPOLD'S C0NS0RT Is TOLD
TO DEPART
Thousands Continue to View Body OF
Dead Monarch, and Many Are
Trodden On In Panic
at Palace

BRUSSELS, Dec. 20.-Baroness
Vaughan, whom Leopold made his
queen in fact, if not in name, quietly
left Belgium today, her reign ended,
her power collapsed, accepting the mint
of the government that If she did not
depart voluntarily she would be eN-
PEELED from the country
The baroness packed up those mag
ni1cent furnishings of her chateau
which were the personal gifts of KING
Leopold and sent them across the
frontier She took a train for France.
To the Belgians this good-looking
young woman with brown hair ana
cleaning black eyes was always a
great mystery, but they accepted her
as they have the other whims of the
determined and self-willed king. They
have thought for years of her resi-
dence besides the kings, Of the IA
nous floral bridge linking the two do
mains. They have discussed with un-
concern her absolute dominion over
the kings private life.
Now, with the king dead, they have
been driven to deep resentment that
as the kings body was borne through
the streets and was lying in state at
the palace her photograph was exhibit
ed and sold in Brussels thoroughfares
as Caroline, the queen
Marriage Doubted
In spite of dispatches from Italy and
other countries asserting that hng
Leopold and Baroness Vaughan had
been married according to rites of the
church the kings personal friends per-
sist in their disbelief of this, while
they characterize the stories of civil
union as pure nonsense.
They say that Leopold, whatever his
faults in private life, would never de-
stroy the official dignity of the king
The Twentieth Century. semi
official paper, points out that the Bel
gian code stipulates that the rights OF
succession to the throne pass to direct
descendants of legitimate birth.
If there was civil marriage in, Italy
1t might create potential rights, but,
it is argued, the absence of all records
and especially the fact that Leopold
never proclaimed Baroness Vaughan
his legitimate wife effectually dispose
of the question.
Prince Albert's plan to reunite the
exiled and separated family was full
filled today. AS Baroness Vaughan
passed out forever from Belgian life
Princess Louise triumphantly entered
the city and was officially greeted at
people.
She was conducted with royal hon
ors to the chateau Belvedere, which
henceforth will be her official home.
Again today a vast crowd viewed
the body of the late king. Many peo-
pie who came in from the provinces
were incensed that the gates were
closed at o'clock, and they tried to
force an entrance.
In the panic people were trodden on,
garments were torn and women faint
ed. Quite a number were injured.
Finally the palace was reopened and
the visitors were allowed to file past
the catafalque.
Arrangements for the funeral and
the swearing in of the new sovereign
are proceeding rapidly, An army of
workmen has taken possession of the
cathedral, which is being draped. The
chamber of deputies is being rear
ranged for the ceremonies on Thurs

MANAGUA, Dec 2O.-Dr. Pose Ma
driz. former Judge of the Central
American court of justice at Cartago,
and Zelaya's candidate, was today
elected president of Nicaragua by the
unanimous vote of congress. The ses-
sion was stormy, but there seemed to
be perfect unanimity with regard to
the election of MadriZ, and when Of
fetal announcement was made there
was a vociferous cheering and cries of
"Viva Madriz!" "Viva Leon!" Down
with monopolies!"
DIR. Madriz will assume the presi-
dency at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
He was escorted to the balcony of his
hotel, where he greeted the great gath
ering with a brief speech, urging har-
mony and cooperation. He pledged
that he would uphold the rights of cit
izens, granting free elections, and es-
tablishing a policy of equal opportu-
mites for ALL
Congress first accepted the resigna-
ton of DR.. Madriz as judge of the
Central American court and Paniagua
Brado was appointed to succeed him
The committee that had the resigna-
tion of Zelaya in hand then recon-
mended it's acceptance and the for
mutation of an address of thanks to
Zelaya for his services to Nicaragua
The adoption of this report was fol-
lowed by the election of the new pres
ident, the nomination of DIR. Madriz
being greeted with much enthusiasm
The strength of his following in the
house was attested by the fact that
on the call for a standing vote every
member rose in the affirmative.
The election of DR.. Madriz as chiet
executive has been expected, for influ-
entail delegates strong in his favor
have been pouring into Managua from
Leon, the stronghold of the Liberals;
Chinandenga and Granada, and they
came with the avowed purpose of car
rying the candidacy of their man tc
victory.
On his arrival here the president
elect said that he had been in confer
ence with former President Cardenas
who is now in Costa Rica, leader OF
the conservatives and head of a strong
force which, it has been reported, was
ready to carry out an expedition
against Managua.

SAN JOSE, Cal, Dec. 20.-A body
now lying at the morgue in this city,
which was at first supposed to have
been that of Former Policeman Carroll
of San Francisco, was today declared
that of the bandit who held up the
| Gleason-Cournen drug store in San
Francisco by DR.. holland, one of the
men who was in the store at the time
Noland is here with Detective Burke
of the San Francisco force, who also
! declares that the body answers in
every way the description of the
bandit.
The police believe that the lone
drug store" bandit, whose operations
have terrorized the city for two weeks,
possibly may have been Walter r.
Carroll, formerly member of the San
Francisco police force, whose body
| lies at the morgue in San Jose.
Partial identification was made to-
day by Dr. Henry Noland, clerk Of
| Gleasons drug store. which was twice
visited by the robber, and by Detec-
| tive Thomas Burke of the local force.
DR.. f. H. Gleason, who also faced
the robbers weapon, will go to San
Jose tomorrow, and if he identities
the body as that of his unwelcome Wis
itor the police state that they will
| have no reason to doubt that the ban
dit has been found.
Carroll was killed by a train last
Friday. Whether he committed sui
side or fell under the wheels while
| stealing a ride has not been deter
mined. He was identified by means of
papers and a police revolver found on
! the body as the man who resigned
from the police force last October fol-
| lowing the death of his wife from a
| gunshot wound.
Immediately after the inquest Car
roll resigned his star to accept a posi-
tion in the government employ at
Yerba Buena island. He was not
heard from again until his death at
San Iosa was rauorted

When word was flashed to Los An

to the holdup of Brakeman Clarence e.

This report afterward proved to be
untrue, but the fact that a Pacific

SAN JOSE, Dec. 20.-Walter II.
Carroll, the San Francisco policeman
who was killed under the wheels of a

1t was discovered today that CarrOlPs

GYPSY VOLUNTARILY GOES TO
COURT, FIRST CASE IN STATE
Milan MerinO Asks Judge Leslie &c
Name Guardian for His Two
Children.

For the first time in the history OF Ne
braska, and, perhaps, Of the middle west,
a gypsy has come voluntarily into court.
The Romanytes prefer to ~adjudicate their
own differences OF whatever kind.
Milo Merino, an Egyptian" Of the tribe
encamped near Florence, has appeared in
county court asking that Judge Leslie
name a guardian for his two youngest
children.
Merino says In his petition that his wife
is insane and confined in an asylum from
which she can never emerge cured. Merino
declares he has three older children Of
whom he can and will take care but that
he is a Door man at best and wishes the
court to name John Marks guardian of
Angelina Merino, aged 3 years. and John
Merino, II months His three older chill
dren are called Mario. saritia and DraEO
Merino.
H. n. Olmsted, who prepared the petit
ton for Merino. asserts that the gypsy will
acknowledge 50 far as the EuardianshIr
and the children are concerned the SOW
ereignty OF the state. a concession Eypsiea

What CosErOve Learned.
City Comptroller Lobeck submitted a long
detailed report from Deputy Comptroller
Fred H. Cosgrove OF his recent trip OF in
~vestigation to other cities to examine into
their systems Of accounting. with special
relation to collection OF occupation taxes
and royalties. Mr.. Cosgrove reports that
Des Moines has many very attractive feat
ures embodied in its accounting system,
and mat its physical features have been
greatly improved in recent years. He says
further that his Investigations have put
hin in a position to present a system OF
municipal accounting for the city of
Omaha, In a concise manner, and on the
lines adopted by the United States census
bureau. He further says that the bun
gled charter under which the city Of
Omaha operates its several functions Of
municipal administration has developed a
system OF accounts peculiarly It's own
and proceeds to illustrate by comparison
with other systems. He finds that money
paid to the treasurer Of Omaha cannot be
gotten out for any crooked purpose without
a Jimmy, but suggests that In many de-
tails the local system is not the best.
Mr.. Cosgrove's conclusion is that for the
coming year each CIV department be re-
quired to make request for apportionment
OF funds on blanks to be furnished by the
comptroller's office. as a start toward a
more complete and up to date method of
transacting city business.
