Chicago Newspaper Says He
Has Been Discovered

Missing for Nineteen Years--Prince Of
House 81 Hapsburg, Who Married
Opera Singer, Is Nov Working

the elaboration Of an unequivocal state
ment that II has discovered the lost
John Ortiz" otherwise Archduke Johann
Salvador Of Austria, Prince OF the
House Of Hapsburg, who disappeared
nineteen years ago, after marrying i.ud
mill strebolf, an opera singer. Briefly
sketched. the Journal story says;
John Orth" WAS discovered AZ Paines
vile, Ohio, working a. machinist 1t
SIS per week. Previously be had fol-
lowed this occupation at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. His rea-
son for making his identity known at
this time the Journal states, was due
70 his advancing age and bis desire
that be might BE buried in Austria.
Johann Salvador, as the aileger arch
duke has always been known since he
left the court at Vienna, was married in
London, and be and his wife afterwards
sailed 70 South America in the Santa
Margarita, a schooner, which he had
chartered. Il has always been believed
that the archduke lost his life when the
schooner sank of the coast OF Gina. Ac-
eording to the story Of the gainesville
machinist, be and has wife were not
aboard the ship as was generally
thought. They went ashore AZ Cusa
wanna, small port on the Rio de Ia
Plata. II was planned that they
should meet the ship al Valparaiso, but
the craft sank en- ronte.
The romantic couple drifted all over
the world finally taking up q pIanta
tion on the Island Of Martinique. When
the frsf rulings OF Mount Pelee gave
warning Of the catastrophe which FOL
lowed soon after, Johann Salvador made
a hurried VISIT to the city to arrange
10 get his family away.
But the warning had come too late.
His wife and their two children were
killed.
Salvador, according to the Journal |
story. was rescued BY o French gun
boat, and came 70 the United States.

FOR GUIDANCE OF AUTO|STS
MAI. SYLVESTER FAVORS THE
ERECTION OF SIGNBoARDS.
Saws That Chauffeurs From Other
Cities Have No Way of Knowing
Varying Restrictions on Speed.

1t is the Intention OF Maj. Sylvester.
superintendent of police, to renew his
efforts to have the District Commission
ers provide signboards to be placed about
the city for the benefit of automobilists.
more especially those from other cities.
Under the police regulations six rates
of speed are provided for automobiles,
and Mai Sylvester realizes that persons
coming from another city have no way
of knowing at what rate they may propel
their machines. So important does Maj.
Sylvester think It is to have such boards
posted about the city that he views it
in the light of an emergency. and may
make an effort to use the emergency
fund for the purchase of them.
About two years ago Maj Sylvester
made an effort TO induce the Commits
sioners to provide such signs for the
benefit of the automobilists, but was un-
successful. The time has now come, he
thinks, when it is absolutely necessary
that something should be done. He re-
calls that the different speeds permitted
are four. six, eight, twelve, t.4teen and
twenty miles an hour, and he does not
know how strangers are expected to keep
within the provisions OF the law without
the aid of signs.
There are several streets in the bus-
ness section where the speed limit Is
only four miles an hour. including
short distance al 18th and I'll streets
northeast, where the law applies to all
vehicles. Within the fire limits speed
OF more than twelve miles an hour is not
permitted, except in the public parhs,
where the limit IS fifteen miles. Across
intersecting, streets the law requires that
d greater speed than eight miles an
hour shall not be made, While turning
corners the limit is six miles. ON the
roads outside the fire limits q speed of
twenty miles an hour is permitted.

While workmen were removing rock
