dressed ladies from Washington appeared
here late yesterday afternoon and sought
an interview with the prisoner. They did
not make known their identity. nor were
they permitted to visit the Jail.

Harris Explains His Act.
Harris latest reason for having shot
his aunt is that while he was walking
across the field with her she made 4
statement about his sweetheart which
he thought was uncalled for. Her
statement. he says, made him SO angry
that he lost his temper and used his
revolver. His revolver. he says, he took
to the public school building with him
when he went there to hide 1t was his
purpose to kill himself with it. but mis-
nerve failed him and he kept it until
he returned home Friday night. Then
his father. J. d. Harris, took the
weapon from him.
This morning when Sheriff Mullican,
States Attorney Bowie Waters and others
went TO the Harris house and called Ollie
from the closet the latter turned to his
father and said: You gave me away"
his manner indicating anything but a
show Of kindly feeling.
And" said the father to his son, Il
think it Is the best thing for YOU"
Mrs Harris Is Better.
Sheriff Mulliean had intended taking
Harris to Baltimore and placing him In
Jail there for safekeeping. but he con-
cluded there was no danger and locked
him In the county Jail instead. Tonight.
it is stated, Mrs. Harris condition shows
some further improvement and her hus-
band and children. who are at her bed
side, felt very much encouraged. 1t is
probabl that the case will be heard at
the regular November term of the court.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, August 1s.-A special to
the World from Washington says:
That King Victor Emmanuel of Italy
will so befriend his cousin. the Duke
of the Abruzzi. and help him to marry
Miss Katharine Elkins. daughter OF
Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Vir-
GINA by appointing him Italian ambas-
sador to the United States. was told to
the World correspondent tonight by
man conversant with his romantic cpl
Sode.
This partly explains the reticence OF
the Italian embassy as 10 the move
ments of the duke. and also accounts lot
the repeated visits of Italian WarsnlpS 10
this country, as well as the recent ap-
pointment of an italian military attache'
which Office has been vacant at Washing
ton for several years.
..Ry becoming Italian ambassador the
duke would relinquish his titular rights TO

wishes He has decided to ananoon
career that removes him from all pos
sibilties of home of his own; beniho
this announcement, which is really not SO
surprising when considered at close range
there is no precedent. 1t is a return to
the customs of the past, when all am
bassadors were the male members OF
rulers immediate family
Coming Here to Lecture.
The duke will come again to the United
States next spring by way of Japan. ana
he will lecture under the auspices OF the
National Geographic Society at wash

ton. He is at present in Asia.
1t is we'll known here that Mayor des
Planches. the present ltallan amoassauu''
is nearing the end of his term in WASH
ington The relations of Italy with the
United States have Increased in impor-
lance the last few years on account OF Tue
great number of Italians in this country.
According to the Worlds Informant. no
foundation exists for the report that King
Edward will intercede in behalf OF Miss
Elkins. Not only is he opposed to the
match, but 1t was he who first spoke q
dissenting voice. His hostility has been
SO marked that Mrs. Elkins, now travel
ing in Europe with her daughter, omit
ted from her itinerary all places where
the British monarch might visit during
their stay abroad.
King Edward Opposed.
This antagonism is marked and not I'M
selfish: therefore no influence on the part
of Lady Granard or any other favored
hostess will change King Edwards atti-
tude. He has set his heart on a match
between the Princess Victoria Patricia.
daughter Of the Duke of Connaught. with
the Italian nobleman. and he deems this
politically and automatically, than could
result from her marriage to King Manuel
of Portugal, who has also been consid-
cred a matrimonial possibility.
