Berlin, April 3.-Tens of thousands of spring hats of the coal scuttle," " beehive and mushroom" types have suddenly become drug on tho market in Berlin on account of bitter polemics which have broken out in the fashionable world.
 Just as the milliners windows were filled with fascinating samples, labelled perSuasively, Latest Paris style" Princess Pauline of Thurn and TaXis, and acknowledged author !ty on feminine fashions, and three prominent ladies of the theatrica al world undertook 8 vigorous campa gu against the pot hat" Gas the genus beehive" is called in German), The princess hurled q thunderbolt by de- claring that she had just returned from Paris. where nothing is known of this latest Parisian fashion
 Fraulein Wuest, the charming comedienIe of the Lessing theatre has asserted her refusal to wear these ntonstrosities, which only be come women who want to hide their faces" Fraulein Massary of tn. Metropol theater, calls the new hats "wastepaper baskets turned upside down. y
 Fraulein Witt of the Residenz theater bemoans the "hldeousness of the pot hat" admitting at the same time that she had just bought six of them in order not to look singular when she appears at Monte Carlo.
 The milliners are panic stricken by these denunciations of their spring goods. Hundreds of ladies who were on the eve of purchasing "pot hats are now waiting to see what their friends will do. In the meantime trade is at standstill.

Paris. April 3.-The Countess de Flcrieu has been murdered under ex. traordinary circumstances at her house near Algiers, at a place called Constantine Ferry. The murder has aroused great excitement owing to the personality of the victim, who was a leader of Algiers society, and to the strange conditions under which the crime was dicovered
 Count de Felerieu left home few days ago for France, and the countess remained alone in her house at Con- stantine Ferry with the servants. At about o:S0 o'clock at night friend of hers in Algiers> was called to the telephone by the countess, who told her that she only rung hcr up for Il chat because she felt so lonely.

 Where are the other servants O. asked her friend
 They have been called------" said the countess's voice, and then con- naunicatiOn was cut off
 The other lady was nervous, and with out very precise reasons felt uneasy about the Countess de Fler- ieu's safety.
 Early the next morning she went to sec her, and arrived just as the shrieking maid found the body of her mistress.
 It was lying near the telephone. in- ;:trument, the receiver of which was. unlocked There were eleven knife wounds in the body. The room hal been ransached and the ecuntess's jewelry wrenched from her fingers and throat.

Messrs. Maxwell and Autrey, who with other oil men, are in Shreveport today, are representatives of the Tex as company. Part of the day they have spent in company with c. W. Hardy, local representative for their company. This concern has been gathering rights of way for an oil pipe line to Shreveport, and thence to Grisby island, from Caddo, a dis tance of about thirty miles, and the presence here of the head reprcsen- tatives is supposed to mean that work is to be pushed on the building of the line. The presence of the as- torney evidently means there are some papers in the matter needing legal attention.
 The refinery to be built by this company will be located on Grisby island, which was recently purchased south of Shreveport
