GREAT PRICE
Old Baron Pays Dearly for
Trying to Break Up
Love Match.

Chicago, Sept. 9.--"The old baron
took good deal on his hands when
he tried to break up love like that.
He has lost his favorite son, he is
sick and broken old man now. and
as for my daughter. she will never
be the same again."
These were the concluding words
spoken by Mrs. Rudolph Mem, in
reciting the tragic love story of her
daughter. for love of whom young
Baron Oskar Rothschild committed
suicide in Vienna several weeks ago.
Mrs. Menn told the story as she
sat on the daughters bed, across
which lay the form of her daughter
almost prostrated with grief. Miss
Mems condition is said to be more
alarming than her parents supposed
and 1t will be many weeks before she
will recover her health. Meanwhile
she remains at home alone' with her
grief. Her mother said today she
would take the girl west soon.
The story told by Mrs. Mem was
like chapter from an old romance.
She told of the swift courtship of the
sOunk <Nuotiidh anu ntI
daughters engagement to him three
days after they met. Then he went
to Europe and his fiancee and her
mother followed. At Anses, Just OUT
side Vienna, said Mrs Mem, the
young baron's brother met him to say
their father would never consent to
the marriage. Three days later
Baron. Oskar ended his life in his
fathers palace while "A company of
his youthful friends sat at dinner
waiting for him.
Mrs. Menn said that after his sons
death, the elder Baron Rothschild
sent for her daughter and tried i'm
every way to console her. She said
she had heard that Miss
Menn had been left large fortune
by her fiance, but did not know II
1t was true.
"We came homo because Olga
couldn't stand II at the Rothschild
castle" said Mrs. Menn. There were
four sons and their resemblance to
OslIar drove her mad.

Vow! Twice In the same spot.
After waiting all these years-how
many no one knows. millions some
say--to have some one ind the north
pole II is almost too much when two
men both bob up at almost the same
identical moment and exclaim In one
breath. II killed Cock Robin. The
pole has been long time on the
way but 1t sure has arrived with
both feet and to think that both the
fret are American. II Peary has really
done the deed the coincidence OF two
discoverers OF the most sought after
spot in the world will be without
parallel In the worlds history. 1t is

cused of placing a tie on the COM
pany's track, for the purpose of
wrecking the Oriental Limited train.
After hearing in the juvenile court,
sentence was suspended during good
behavior. The complaint alleges the
boy was wrongfully arrested and de-
tanned without probable cause. with
out complaint having been filed or a
warrant isued, also that agents of the
company sought to obtain a confess
sion by threats of violence and inn
prisonment. Another allegation is
that the boy was virtually branded a
criminal though exonerated by the
court.

AN I'M ENDING JANGLE.

Further dispatches from Peary
leave no doubt that there will be a
bitter warfare on DR.. Cooks claim OF
having reached the Pole. The vigor
and promptitude of this attitude cast
q somewhat adverse hight on the the
cry OF purely scientific and education
al purpose in reaching the Pole. II
the aim was solely to add to the store
OF human knowledge the fact OF
Cooks hurried arrival ana departure,
with admitted nasty observations,
need not mulitate against Peary's
more prolonged and possibly more
scientific researches. But, II the pur-
pose were simply to gain the fame OF
having achieved what other men
have tried to do, 1t is plain that the
claim of having seen It first is one to
be fought over as affecting that fame,
end probably also involving the
vogue with the lecture bureaus.
At present the lines on which the
issue of veracity will be drawn are
not clear. If the polar locality is as
Cook says he found IL the fact that
Peary found no traces OF Cooks visit
is no impeachment of the latters
claims; since the drift of the polar
ice would have Carried those traces
far away in the Intervening year. II
Peary can prove that there is per-
ceptible land at the Pole that would
put Cook under grave suspicion OF
taking. But If both agree that there
is no land there the assertions of one
will tend TO corroborate those Of the
other.
The one positive thing so far is
that there Is 10 be a jangle.
Probably the dispute will be prose-
cuted until the public pperceiyes that
1t is rapidly getting no nearer the
truth than at lne start. and will be
ready to compromise on the conclu-
sion either that both of them reach
ed the Pole or that neither OF them
did. And to the public at large 1t
will make no difference which view
prevails. Dispatch.

FATHER1FA|NTS
When Son is Called CRATER
in Police Bribing Case
at Chicago.

Chicago Sept. 10-Testimony In the
case OF Police Inspector Edward Nc
Cam, the first of the big cases re-
sulting from states Attorney Way
mans grand jury crusade against
alleged police graft, began here to-
day.
A few minor points OF law were
when the court convened and
then the state began the calling OF
witnesses who the states attorney
promises In his opening statement,
Will expose a complete system of
grating by the police from resort
keepers.
The merciless excoriations of Nc
Cam. by States Attorney Wayman in
his opening statement evidently took
the defense's attorneys off their ieet
and they repeatedly interrupted Way
man with objections. A dramatic
feature OF Wawman's statement was
the fact that McCann's father, who
was In court, fell to the floor In a
faint while his son was being de-.
nounced as a dirty CRATER" "coi-
lector OF blood money! and Cor
ruptionist."

Simple Life Colony Quits
and Plans to Sell

Locarno, Switzerland, Sept. 10--The
famous Simple life colony at AS
com, above here, has become bank
rupt. and lts German promoter, Herr
Aedenkowen-Hofma said today
that the sanitarium, chalets and huts
on Monte Verita" would be offered
for sale.
The colony was started about six
years ago, and was at first a great
success. German, Austrian, italian
and other distinguished foreigners
took up with the cult, with the fair
sex always predominating.
Several duchesses and many bar
onesses and countesses were among
the number There was, also, the Aus
train actress, Mile Adamovitch, who
married and divorced the ex-Arch-
duke Leopold of Austria The women
wore simple dress of white with
bear feet and flowing tresses. They
lived on milk, wild fruits and vege-
tables took sun and snow baths and
sold their jewels for the benefit of
the colony.
The men wore flowing robes and
all barbering was tabood. Added to
all this, the members had social views
that were decidedly advanced. Monte
Verlta" was the talk OF all Europe
for a while, but the ebb tide struck it
several years ago, and 1t went con-
stantly from bad to worse.

powers warning that the fnghtful
cruelties practiced by Sultan Mulai
