MIGUEL
BRAGANZA SUED
ANITA STEWARDS HUSBAND IN
HANDS OF SHYL0CK
ROYAL SCION BoRRoWs MONEY
OF USURER
Needed Coin to Pay Paris Hotel Bills
and to Purchase Ticket to Scot
land Where His Bride
Awaited Him

VIENNA, Oct. 1.-Suit was brought
today in the commercial justice court
against Prince Miguel Braganza, who
recently married Miss Anita Stewart
for a debt of 5000 crowns borrowed
from a usurer when the prince was
unable to pay his Paris hotel bill or
to buy a ticket to England or Scot
land, where Miss Stewart waited for
him.
During the proceedings it was shown
that Braganza, who protested against
the amount charged, had since ap-
piled to the same usurer for a loan
of 200, 900 crowns.
The judge inquired strenuously into
the facts to learn what amount of
cash the prince received for the bill
less the interest. The usurer, fearing
he might be arrested, withdrew the
suit.
The princes aunts, Archduchess
Maria Theresa and Duchess Parma,
are prepared to repay the debt with
reasonable interest, but not the usur-
er's charges.

nj EW YORK, Oct. 1.-New York
" city and state today gave Com
~ mander Robert e. Peary a well
come home such as few returning
heroes can hope to receive. From the
bridge of his Arctic ship, Roosevelt
Commander Peary was the most
prominent feature of the sixty-mile
Hudson-F Fulton naval parade from
New York to Newburgh.
Having successfully buffeted the ice
pack of Smith sound and proved
herself so stout a ship that no sea or
ice noe could turn her back, the Roose-
velt met with an accident in the most
tranquil part of the Hudson, just be-
low the point, this afternoon.
She parted her port tiller rope and
came to a stop. The mishap was quick
ly discovered by Commander Peary,
and anchor was dropped while the rope
was being spliced.
But there was a delay of nearly an
hour before she proceeded toward
Newburgh.
1T is most gratifying to have taken
part in the parade" said Commander
Peary tonight, land I am deeply ap-
preciatiVe of the reception that has
been given the officers and crew Of
the Roosevelt and myself"
Morgan creets Him
]. Pierpont Morgan, on his big
steam yacht, Corsair, with a party of
friends, gave Commander Peary and
the Roosevelt a graceful greeting off
stony Point.
The Roosevelt dropped anchor near
the United States fotilla of scout
cruisers, submarines and torpedo boats
off Newburgh in the evening.

minish the noisy greeting from vessels

kill landing, where they took a train
for New York.
Peary declined to talk about the Cook

Hubbard would make public state
ment on the subject early in the COM

Commander Peary today received the
following letter from Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean, honorary president general of
the National Daughters of the Amerl-
can Revolution:

USE OF OIL ON ROADS
BATTLES BLOOD HOUNDS
Futility of Hunting FugitiVes with
Dogs on Predetermined Streets
Demonstrated

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The futility of
hunting fugitives with blood hounds
when the trails of those sought lead
across the modern oiled thoroughfares
was demonstrated in Oak Park yester-
day. Recent wholesale robberies in
that suburb resulted in two dogs being
brought from Hammond, Ind.
The dogs were successful except for
the oiled streets. Fred Grouse, who
was chosen as the fugitive for the af-
ternoon's tryout, started across the
prairie.
The dogs followed his trail with
such rapidity that they caught up long
before he could circle back to the
starting point. But when on d sec
ond trip he crossed an oiled street the
scent was lost.

HIMSELF

KEPT OUT IN RAIN

Child Uninjured and Man Ex-
pected to Die Any
Minute

of his wife's home, 555 Eighth street,
in fit of maddened fury after stand
ing outside in the rain all night, John
H. Marrow, a veteran engineer in the
employ of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, burst into the woman's bedroom
early this morning. and as she ran
screaming into the yard with her sis
ters 3-year-oId child in her arms he
sent a shot crashing into her brain,
fired twice at the baby, the bullets
going through the little ones clothing
and, turning the gun on himself. in
flieted a fatal wound. His death is
hourly expected. Mrs. Marrow died
on the way to a hospital
The murderer and his victim fell
side by side on a wet pathway running
along the side of the house, while the
child lay helpless on the woman's S
body, strangling in the blood from the
wound in Mrs. ManroW's temple.
Mrs. Freda Walsh, a sister of the
murdered woman, who has been liv-
ing with her since Manrow's desertion
of his wife six months ago, was also
in the house when Marrow broke in.
She heard him kick in the door to Mrs.
Manrow's room, and, remembering his
frequent threats to kill his wife, ran
screaming from the house.
Climbs Over Fence
She climbed over the back fence in
search of help just as her sister ran
through the back door with the baby
in her arms, followed by Marrow
flourishing a revolver above his head.
The woman disappeared around the
side of the house with the man in
close pursuit A minute atterWard,
according to Mrs. Walsh, there was a
volley of shots, her sisters voice rang
out in a single agonized shrek and all
was still.
Neighbors rushing to the scene of
the tragedy, found the bodies lying
side by side in a pool of blood. The
woman was breathing family but died
five minutes later on her way to the
hospital.
The baby was unhurt, both of the
shots aimed at the child passing
through the left sleeve of its dress,
imbedding themselves in the side of
the house.
Marrow for a year past had been
employed as a boiler maker having
given up his position as engineer,
which he held for twenty-five years.
Penniless aud unable to work, Mrs.
Marrow was thrown on the charity of
an unmarried sister, Miss Elizabeth
Olsen, who has supported both Mrs.
Walsh, whose husband died a year
agb, and her sister, Mrs. Marrow.
The two women lived alone in the
modest little cottage with Mrs.
Walsh's baby boy. Two older chill
dren Of the latter are in a founding

GOVERNOR OFFERS 4 REWARD
For Apprehension Of Kenneth
mckenzie's SIayers.

Following the fling Of the report Of
Attorney General Miller of the investi'
cation carried on at Aneta to locate
the responsibility for the murder Of
Kenneth Mckenzie at Aneta on Oct
16, Governor Burke has offered re.
ward of $500 for the apprehension Of
the criminals. The boys father has
offered $500 and the citizens Of Aneta
have~subscribed $685. to the fund.
On Oct. 16 Kenneth Mckenzie was
seized by two unknown men, who put
kerosene Gil over his clothing and set
it afire. The young man lived fol
three days after the crime, and finally
died in a Fargo hospital.
It was thought at first that 1t was
the work of blind piggers, who were
seeking revenge on the elder McKen
zie for his activities in enforcing the
prohibition law, but the attorney gen
erals investigation does not convey
the impression that such was the fact
or that it is suspected.
There has been neither clue nor sus.
.picioDs as to the guilty parties.

SURGEONS OPERATE
UPON KING LEOPOLD
Aged Monarch Undergoes the
Ordeal Successfully.

Brussels, Dec. liking Leopold
was operated upon successfully.
The surgeons found no trace of a
tumor, the presence Of which in the
intestines had been feared. His ma
jesty's trouble.was due to simple OBJ.
struction. The king is resting quietly.
The king passed a good night and
faced the operating table bravely until
the doctors prepared to administer
the anaesthetic.
In their efforts to calm the aged
ruler physicians assured him that the
operation would not be dangerous.
though it is known they feared the
king would succumb during its per-
formance.
The only member of the kings
household who was permitted to see
him before the operation was his ia
vorite daughter, the Princess Clemen-
tine, who comforted her father, but
when she left him he swoOned and
was revived with difficulty.
Despite the encouragement held out
by the physicians the public believes
the operation will furnish but tenn
porary relief and that Leopold will
never recover.

reach a termination at Fargo. Owe
Gram walked into the billiard parlor
Of the Fargo House and fired a bullet

which he will die.

on suicide that the manager decided

Officials are convinced there was q
suicide pact between Rev. R. L. Dough

agricultural college student. The
preacher committed suicide in Decem-
ber last year and Russell in March.
Both Gram and Russell were great
chums of the preacher and watched

himself, but was prevented by his

frequently talked on the subject Of
self-destruction and intimated that
there was a pact between him and
