Marie, the beautiful and talented
Crown Princess of Roumania, is to-
day celebrating her thirty-fourth
birthday. 1t is not too much to say
that she is among the most popular
of the feminine members of the roy
al families of Europe She is a IA
miliar figure at the English Court
and is the favorite niece of King Ed
ward. Her vivacity and charm have
won for her a reputation altogether
out of proportion to the little coun-
try which she calls home
Candida, the famous writer for
London paper, recently addressed one
Of her open letters to the Princess,
in which the biography of the latter
IS charmingly set forth Says Can
dida
Most of us are well up in your
life history. You were born on Oc-
tober %, 1875, as the eldest OF the
three daughters of the late Duke OF
Saxe-Coburg, better konwn = Ie
Duke of Edinburgh, and Of the lady
who is now called The Duchess Ma
RE, an only daur tier of a former
Emperor of Russia. Now it is a Gu
rious fact hat October-the opal
month--seems in some way to rule
the destinies of yourself and your
FAMILY, for your august mother dates
her birth from October II; your
only brother, The late Prince AL
fred, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-CO-
burg, came into the world on Oc-
tober Is; your eldest child, Prince
Carol of ROumania, began life on
the same day of the same month,
October Is; and your elder daughter,
Princess Elizabeth, has her birthday
on October II.
Your Royal Highness' childhood
is said to have been free and happy
beyond the average, for you are one
OF the lucky folk who seem ever to
attract love and liking, and you were,
it is certain, the most cherished
child of your late father, the Duke
Of Sake oburg. AS may be guessed
you were his faithful friend and con
slant companion. For instance, you
used to be often on his flagship
when it was stationed at Malta, and
your bright ways and pretty face
made you a prime favOrite with
the officers and also with the ships
company
The story goes that you used to
take keen delight in helping" the
ships cook in the execution of his du-
ties. Your specially seems to have
been the frying of ham and eggs,
and on one occasion you are said TO
have fried no fewer than fifty eggs
and of course slices of ham to cor
respond.
In 1898 when only seventeen you
were married to the Crown Prince
of Roumania. You are a fine musi
clan; you sing sweetly, play the pi-
anO and also the violin, and over
the latter instrument have gained
q complete mastery. Also you talk
well, are a first-rate linguist, and in
the affairs of everyday life show a
keen brain, a strong will, and much
force of character. You have a good
head for business and have founded
and financed one of the largest quill
factories in existence.

Washington, Nov. l3.-Central this

eddy caused considerable damage on the
island Of Jamaica since last Saturday.

yesterday was nearer to Hayti than 10
Cuba. Meteorological experts Of the
weather bureau expressed the belief that
the storm was Of very retarded develop.
ment and that X fingered over Jamaica
for some days Most Of the damage to
the island, they believe, must have re-
suited from the heavy rains which nc
eompanied the storm rather than from
wind because the disturbance at pres
ent is not Of great velocity. No trouble
IS expected along the Atlantic coast Of
the United States from the disturbance.
Again yesterday no report came to the
weather bureau from its observer in
Jamaica, bat other West Indian observ-
alton stations made their usual reports.

physicians are essential.
In anaiyzing and comparing the totals

and over one-fourth Of children less than

The brute force OF the figures repre-
senting the actual deaths IS more inn
pressive, however, than any ratios or
than the rates Of infant mortality even
II the latter could be computed in the
absence Of proper registration Of births.
Statistics show that more than one
eighth Of a million babies, under one
year Of age, and fully 100000 children,

Of all Of the diseases Of infancy. having

may be prevented and that Of the dis
eases Of childhood having medium age
two TO eight years, 81 per cent. may DO

The general death rate of a country
Is largely dependent upon its infant
mortality because the death rates 81
infants and young children are high and
they effect a relatively numerous eIe-
ment Of the population. Exact study og
the incidence of disease upon infancy
and childhood Is most important, and ID
is inperatively necessary that there
should be more effective registration of
births throughout the United States for
this purpose.

children born alive during the year

UP GOES COST OF LIVING.
Top Level Nearly Attained--And The
Worst Is Yet to Come.


New York, Nov l3 The price Of
necessities and Of the principal commo-
dities which enter into estimates Of the
cost Of living have not only regained
the ground lost after the panic Of 1907,
but are now close to the highest records
ever attained, with the tendency still
upward. Bradstreet's index number Of
commodity prices as Of Nov. ! is put Mt
SSgl73, the highest level reached since
Aug. /, 1907 and an advance Of 10 per
cent. over figures registered on Oct. |.
The Nov. index number indicates
gain Of 40 per cent in the cost 81 living
over Jam last and Of l05 per cent
over Noy. 1908. The high-water mark
ia commodity prices touched in recent
years was on March !, 1907, when il
was 23 pei cent above the present
figures.
Compared with the period Of depres.
sion before the Spanish. American War,
when commodity prices, as reported by
Bradstreet's reached their lowest level
on July ]. 1896, the present index num-
her shows an increase Of 50.7 per cent.
Commenting on the tendency toward
higher prices, Bradstreet's says;
To reiterate that commodity prices.
speaking Of them collectively, are high
seems like work Of supererogation IN
deed, il il more than probable that
householders, and IN fact manufacturers
OF various commodities who have had
TO purchase raw material on q rising
market, have been surfeited ere now
with sufficient evidence Of the trend 81
affairs commodity wise But the main
thing is that quotations on a number
Of articles, that largely enter into ones
daily regimen, are bent on advancing to
even higher levels than those now pre-.
yailing In truth, the strain Of higher
prices for raw products is not only being
felt by manufacturers, who are in turn
forced TO advance prices on finished
goods, but Il is also superinducing De.

GOmperS Speaks Of Contempt
Sentences
MOST IMPORTANT CASE
since Slavery's Abolition-He Has Abid-
ing Faith in His Cause--Penalty
inflicted BY Wright Is Gun
usual and Cruel"

Toronto, Ont, Nov. President
Gompers devoted some time yesterday to
explaining 10 the convention Of the
American Federation Of Labor the stat
US Of the contempt proceedings under
which he, Vice President Mitchell and
Secretary Frank Morrison have been
sentenced to terms in Jail.
Mr.. Gompers said there were three
ways in which the case could reach the
supreme court Of the United States, by
writ Of error, writ Of certiorari or by
writ of habeas corpus after the defend
ants had been placed in Jail.
He said that If that course were de-
cided upon by the defendants attorneys
the supreme court might grant a writ
Of certiorari, in view, Mr.. Gompers
said, II was the generally accepted opn-
ion that this case ought to be brought TO
the highest court Of the United States
in order that the principles involved
may be tested
The speaker was doubtful whether the
principles involved could be properly

Either we have the right Of free
speech and free press, or we have not,
said Mr. Gompers, "and we want the
conrt to say so. Whether we will 90

ing faith in the justice Of our cause

sitution Of the United States. I know
Of no case in which the principles Of
equal justice, Of constitutional rights
and human liberty have been involved,
Of equal importance since the abolition

Mr.. Gompers characterized the SEN
fences imposed by Justice Wright, as
"cruel, unusual and extraordinary" and
declared that no man in the United
States was ever sentenced before for
longer period than six months for
contempt Of court.
An extension Of Is or 80 days will be
asked for by the defendants and the

Bendernagel, General Super
intendent, Indicted
CHARGED WITH FRAUD
Trust Evidently Had Word Of What Was
to Happen and Dropped Him Day
Before--Arbuckles in the
Weighing Frauds.

New York, Nov. lS.--A short time
after it became known that the Arbuckle
Brothers, the great rivals Of the sugar
trust, had been drawn into the sugar
importing fraud cases, and were nego.
tiating for settlement, il was an,
nouneed at the federal building that j.
f. BeRdernagel, till yesterday superin-
tendent Of the Ave trust refneries in
Williamsburg, had been indicted, and
would be arrested
Benderagel handed in his resignation
to the trust officials yesterday after a
service Of thirty-A Ave years, during many
Of which be had drawn salary Of $50.
600 He was the most important prac.
tical operating official Of the trust, and
when he fell CONSERVATION spread
through the plant. The trust gave ont
the explanation that his resignation and
that Of the five lesser officials was part
of general house cleaning Now it is
known that the trust evidently had wind
of the Indictment aud probable arrest,
and wanted to escape some Of tile i'll
nominy Of having one 81 its most trust
ed employees placed IN custody.
1t was at the wharyes Of the vii.
liamsburg refneries where much Of the
$1,000, which the trust has admitted
stealing from the government was TAXI
en-. tt was there that the underweign-
ing Of hundreds Of sugar cargoes was
done and the government defranded.
The Indictment against Bendernagel
charges conspiracy and is similar TO that
found against the six weighers who have
already been arrested. It was found
on Nov I and has been held for more
than a week during which time il is
believed the trust got wind Of il and
forced Bendernagel out
A deputy United States marshal was
sent to Bendernagel's home Ia Williams
burg and placed him under arrest. II
was the intention OF the marshal to re-
turn his prisoner 10 the federal build
ing where he would be arraigned and
have a chance to give bail.
The sugar trust paid a little more
than S200000O in settlement OF the du-
ties which should have been paid AZ
the time the cargoes Of sugar were hand
ed in this city; the Arbuckle Brothers,
il was stated, owed about sS0000a. and
had offered to settle Cor 100000. These
figures, however. we're not given on first
authority, and they seemed too small
10 those familiar with the situation, for
the Arhuckles have been doing an
enormous business.

NEW INJUNCTION.
Concerns a Road Leading to Milford
Quarries.

Milford, Mass, Nov. l3.--Another H.
junction chapter has been added to the
litigation surrounding the operations at
the Massachusetts, pink granite quarries
here, recently in charge Of Theodore M.
Perry as superintendent
Deputy Sheriff H. G. Smell served an
injunction on Peter Ross yesterday. It
had been issued by the supreme court
sitting at Boston and restrains Ross
from obstrueting or maintaining any
fences on the road to and from the
quarry, also from maintaining tres
pass signs. Ross was also served with
a subpoena requiring him to appear
at that court next Tuesday at $3.50 to
show cause why the temporary injlinc-
ton should not be made permanent.
The litigation arises over the use of
q private cart road that gives access to
the quarIies and to which Ross claims
title Up to last week the company op.
Grating the quarry for which Ralph WI
Boyer Is resident manager and GUY
M. Walker and associates Of New York
are owners, has used tho Ross road in
quarry operations, claiming right of
way.
Last week in consequence of alleged
breach Of contract conditions be closed
the road by posting trespass signs and
placing boulders and other obstrno-
lions in the way. lie had previously
given a weeks notice to the company
agents Of his intention and its reason.
The petitioners in the bill Of complaint
assert a right Of way and ask perma-
nent injunction.
Since last July four other iniunctions
nave arisen over the operation Of the
quarry.
The cutters in the employ Of Wells
Bros, getting out stone for the Han
sock building, Boston, quit work to
avoid serving under q foreman He pc
titioned for an injunction against the
union officers to restrain them from in
terfering with his chance to work. This
is still pending in the supreme court
Of Suffolk county.
a few days later injunction proceed
ings were begun in Middlesex county
against the members and officers of the
Milford quaTrymen's union the petit
TONERS being members Of the union at
work at this quarry
Last month Supt. I. NJ. Perry brought
equity proceedings in the Suffolk SUI
preme court against Guy M. Walker
and associates, alleging breach Of
contract and asking equity relief. ST.
simultaneously another petition in equity
against the same respondents was en-
tered in the same court on behalf Of
Harold nj. Curtis, Chas. s. Mulane,
and other Milford creditors, alleging
unpaid accounts and asking for injunc-
tion and an accounting.
II these petitions the respondents
filed demurrers last week and these
were sustained, the court requiring
APPENDED bills by petitioners which were
fled.
