PLOT TO GET PRINCE
AN AMERICAN BRIDE
Woman Who Financed Thurn und Tax
is Project Now Declares
She Was Duped

PARIS, Feb. 25-The disputed iden-
tity OF the woman calling herself
Countess Glare" who admits that she
was formerly Mrs. Laura Crosslcy. but
denies that she was ever Louise Cross
ley OF Blanche Leigh has curiously
enough occupied the attention OF the
Paris courts for the greater part of
two weeks.
The case is certain to interest Amer
leans. since the main issue relates 10
a loan of several hundred thousand
francs. ostensibly TO finance the Prince
Won Thurn und Taxis. a nephew of the
late Empress of Austria. i'm proposed
campaign 10 obtain a wealthy wife in
Yankee Land. which. II is said, was
undertaken few years ago. Mile.
Kemper ruined herself To provide the
money. being fascinated by the clever
Blanche Leigh. who in 1905 kept a
ladies beauty shop in the Rue de la
Paix. and d Russian person who calls
himself Count Zoltnisky Mines of
manganese. OF which he claimed the
ownership. were the security on which
Mile. Kemper relied. II appears that
the pretender's title TO them was worth
less.
Countess Glare" has persistently
and undertakings declared that she
mas been mistaken for her cousin
Louise Crossley who had before been
a troublesome relative. and after the
beauty shop venture became a bank
rupt
The straLgest feature OF the case is
that about an equal number of Wit
nesses averred on the one hand and
denied on the other the identity of the
countess with Blanche Leigh.

COMPROMISE IS MADE ON
BOOST ON BONDING LIMIT
Committee Recommends That Increase
Be Made To Sd
Per Cent.

As compromise between the pro-
posal OF Mayor iIreitmeyer to increase
the bonding limit from per cent TO
per cent. and the counter proposal OF
Controller Doremus that the limit be
placed AT 21-2 per cent, the council
committee on charter and city legisla.
ZION decided to recommend a charter
amendment for an increase to 3-4 per
cent This. ii adopted by popular vote,
viii increase the bonding limit by 3d.
1l6,I02
Controller Doremus submitted fig
urCs showing the amount OF additional
bonds which could be issued within the
next five years At various hgures al IN
crease in the bonding limit. He argued
against making the limit too high, ure-
ina that IL would incite extravaganza.
MAYOR Breitmeyer called attention
To the needs of the city in the way or
trunk sewers. convention hall. new
Belle Isle bridge. public library and
similar improvements. The people of
the city want these things, he said.
Aid. Heineman replied that, II the
bonding limit were high enough. every
alderman would want to establish a
bath house and park in his ward. Fin
ally Aid. FrevCr, Eeineman and Grind
lev voted for three-quarter per cent
increase. while Aid Tossy and link
stood OUT for higher rate.
Another amendment will be drawn
by which city bonds may be sold in
small amounts at popular subscription,
instead of being disposed of in large
issues 10 a single bidder.

PEOPLE.
Washington Staggered BY Enormous
Growth Shown BY Tacoma
Returns.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Staggered by
he enormous growth shown by the
lew census for number Of western
titles, Director Durand, of the census
bureau, Oruered an investigation, the
esult of which appeared in the an.
louncement that gross frauds had
been perpetrated.
Cities specifically mentioned as be-
ng affected by the census frauds are:
Tacoma, Seattle, and Aberdeen, WASH;
Portland, Ore; Minneapolis, Boise,
IDAHO, and Fort Smith, Ark, and many
,thers.
The result of second enumeration
If Tacoma was announced. The city
shows population of S2,972, an in
crease of 37,714 or 120 per cent over
he population of 1900. The first fig
lres turned in for Tacoma were 49,
24S. In other words, the actual popu-
Iation was padded to the extent of 49,.
296. which would have meant a furth.
er addition of 40 per cent.
Director Durand, sets forth that at
tempted padding of the census was
brought about mainly through the use
Of slips printed by private individuals
and containing the census questions
These were distributed very generally
on street corners and elsewhere, ant
were filled out by thousands of PEG
