THE "MAD PRINCESS
CALLS FATHERS BLUFF

Berlin, Germany.-To her father,
Leopold the old king of the Belgians.
Louise. the mad princess" who is
now 81 years old, has made a pro-
posal, the like of which the European
kingdom has never known, and mon
ey, quite naturally millions OF dollars,
is the basis of her proposal.
Hearing that Leopold was selling
his various properties and converting
everything into cash, so his daughter
could get none of his riches. Prin-
cess Louise rushed to Brussels. The
princess upbraided her royal father
and demanded that she receive her
share of his vast wealth. to which the
king consented. provided she would
abandon Mattasich Keglevich.
The princess then made the boldest
proposal ever presented to the king.
she told him she would quit Mattasich
Keklevich If her father would agree
to abandon Baroness Vaughan, his en-
tanglement with whom has been one
of the greatest scandals that ever dis
graced an European court.
The princess proposal greatly en-.
ragged Leopold and the conference
broke up with both parties more de-
termined than ever to continue their
former paths.

WILL DICTATED BY
SPIRITS is VALID

Los Angeles, Cal.-Judge Rives, of
the probate court, handed down a de-
cision today admitting TO probate the
will of the late Robert Crawford Smith
who left the greater part of his es-
tate TO associates of the last few years
of his life, with whom he had been
interested as a believer in the physi-
cal manifestations of spirits. In the
long court fight it became known that
large part of the will was dictated
by spirits.
Mrs. Dora Barnett, a medium, was
the chief beneficiary Of the will. She
received a bequest of $4,000. Mrs.
Leotta Ewilling, another alleged me-
dunn, was willed $4,000, and Miss Lot
tie Livington, of Pasadena, a school
teacher, came in for $4,000 slice of
the property.
Heirs at law of the aged Mr.. Smith
contested the well. They charged that
Smith was unduly influenced by his
spirituaistic friends, testimony tend
ing to show the alleged influence Of
fake" mediumship upon the mind Of
the aged man.

BIoOdhounds Find Little Girl.

Margaret the 2-year-old daughter
of c. T. Hale, living at sos Sixth
street, Saturday afternoon started
in quest of the place where fairies
and rainbows come from. She had
heard many stories about the grand
house up in the mountains, and for
the green trees she started. After a
time, Mrs. Hale began to worry about
the little girl, and she made a round
of the neighbors. only to find that
they had seen nothing of the child.
Frantic with worry, the mother tele-
phoned to her husband, who at once
asked Detective Andy Vaughn to put
bloodhounds on the tots trail. This
was done, the dogs being in charge of
Walter E Skidmore. They picked up
the trail, and followed it easily, and
soon found the child wandering back
towards home and supper.-Tele-

Good and Safe Leader.

Such men as John Mitchell are the
very best kind Of leaders for the
working men and that this is realiz-
ed by them is seen In the afrectionate
regard the miners have for the man
who wisely led them during the
great strike seven years ago, and
who so constantly gives them good
counsel. AS an instance take one
Of his latest utterances in which he
truly said that 'if the shorter day
has given the miners more time for
drink and depravity it Is a curse;
but II it has given them more time
for their families and for books. it
is a godsend." Such words coming
from him have great weight with
the men and it Is cheering to know
that to the great mass of them the
shorter day is a benefit. Men like
Mitchell and Gompers are worth
thousand such traitors as Powderly
and Kelley who sold out the working
men for good positions in the gov
eminent.

How Will Universal Peace Come?

How Will Universal Peace Come?
That the parliament of man" and
universal peace and brotherhood be-
tween nations is yet in the far dis
tance must be obvious to all. A man
who invents quick firing gun, a
new explosive, torpedo, or some
other man killing device can get the
ear of any government far more
readily than the man who has life
saving invention.
Just now the craze is for big bat
tleships of the Dreadnought type.
England sets the pace and other
nations follow, and very recently
Great Britain was thrown into a
panic and voted many additional
millions of dollars because it was
learned that Germany was building
a number of Dreadnoughts and plan
ming to build more. Such vessel
costs millions of dollars and it be-
comes obsolete in three or four
years.
Thinking men are asking hcw it
is going to end, and finance min
listers and secretaries Of the treasury
are at their wits end in Europe to
raise the money with which to build.
The burden rests upon the people
whose taxes have been enormously
increased in recent years, and it is
plain that before very long some OF
the nations will face bankruptcy and
then perhaps sheer financial exhaus-
ton may compel them to halt in
their mad race.
That universal peace will come
we do not doubt; the only uncertain
thing is the method by which it Will
come. Will it be by the acceptance
of right principles, or by the adop-
ton of arms, guns, etc., of so de-
structive a character that war will
become impossible, or by the bank
ruptcy of nations? Perhaps a de-
cade or two more will decide.

Game of Bluff.

Servia has just had a Illuminating
experience in being compelled to
acouiesce in the annexation of Bosi-
ma and Herzegovina by Austria.
When Austria first made it's 1nten-
ton known Servia called out her
troops, protested against the annexa-
tion and threatened war. OF course
a small kingdom like Servia, un-
assisted by a larger power would
have not the slightest chance against
the dual monarchy. This was so
obvious that it was generally felt
that some nation, presumably Rus-
sia. was backing her. There is no
doubt that Russia and Austria are
Jealous of each other and sooner
or later they will probably engage
in conflict for supremacy in the near
east. But Russia is not at present
in any condition for war and II she
encouraged Servia to protest and
threaten against Austria it must
have been a game of bluff which
did not succeed, and now Servia
knows the humiliation of defeat and
the bitterness of relying upon pro-
fessed friend that does not make
good.

Uncle Sam Did Right.

The United States Government has
done the right thing in refusing
the request of the Russian govern
ment that Pouren, the revolutionary
refugee, be extradited and he is now
set free after being in prison for
nearly eighteen months. Many OF
the methods employed by the reVo-
lutionary party Russia In their
desperate efforts to secure liberty
may be repugnant to our American
ideas, but then conditions in Russia
are such as could never exist in
this country, and that makes a diff
ference. The Russian government,
though by courtesy called civilized,
is nothing but a semi-barbarous or
ganization ruling by legal murder,
repression and ignorance. There
fore any request it makes for the
extradition Of men whom 1t has
goaded into rebellion by it's cruelty
is not likely to be honored by Ameri-
ca. Incidentally, and yet very sug-
gestiyely, the refusal by our gov
ernment to deport Pouren is a sharp
rebuke to the Russian government.

Need More of Them.

That men in the conduct Of their
business are not influenced by moral
considerations is an idea widely
spread and it has become strength
ened because of the we'll known ac-
tions Of some large corporations.
But it is clear that not all large
business firms are Indifferent to the
welfare of humanity. Instances con-
stantly arise to prove this. Among
the latest is the action of the great
English cocoa firms of Cadbury,
Fry and Rowntree and the large
German chocolate firm Of Stollwerck
who have notified the Portuguese gov
ernment that as it has not fulfilled
it's oft repeated promise to improve
labor conditions on it's cocoa planta-
tions of Sac Thome and Principe,
they will buy no more of the cocoa
produced there. The world needs
