ROOSEVELT SHEER
Compatriot, Who Admires the
Strenuous One, Is Evidently
Cause of the Downfall.

New York, May 24.--Alexander
Nuber Won Pereked, who for several
years has been consul in New York
for Austro- Hungary, IL no longer here.
He departed about week ago on a
vacation. 1t is said that the vacation
will be permanent.
Herr Won Pereked, according to GER
tain intimate friends of his, may thank
for his dispossessment of the New
York job a tongue that was balanced
in the middle and wagged from either
end. In plain words, Won Pereked
talked too much, and his talk CHANGED
to touch upon certain distinguished
citizen of the United States.
The citizen reflected upon was ex-
President Theodore Roosevelt, Of New
York. Oyster Bay. Africa, and the
world at large.
Words Quickly Bore Fruit.
In amazingly quick time the reflec-
ton upon Mr. Roosevelt was wired to
the Austro- Hungarian ambassador at
Washington and to the representatives
of Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna,
and behold Consul DR.. Won Maroilo-
vitz is holding down the Austro- Hun
gary post in New York.
From the Hotel Plaza came the ex-
PLANTATION Of the diplomatic affair.
At the Plaza is residing the Imperial
Count Guido ReichsgrafI Won Auers-
perg, young blond, strenuous, and an
admirer alike Of Kaiser Wilhelm and
Roosevelt.
"A couple of weeks ago came over
here" said the count in his suite. "Ac-
cording to our custom I visit, when I
come, our consul, Herr Won Pereked. I
talk with him of things in general-of
matters the world over-among them

Just what happened after this al
legged remark by the Austro- Hungarian
consul deponent (meaning Count Won
Auersperg) will not say. But certainly
something happened. Washington

York consul.

his. He also is firm believer in the
democratic form Of government and Is

American style of running things.
When he goes back to his native land
he Is going to run for the Austrian
congress and he thinks he will be
elected.

Won Auersperg. "Of Mr.. Roosevelt what
shall / say? He Is q great man. And
America Is a wonderful country. But
as to consuls and diplomacy--nein!"

FRENCH AVIATOR FLIES
ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Count de Lesseps Duplicates
the Feat of Louis Bleriot
Last July.

Calais, France, May 24.-Count
Jaques de Lesseps, the French aviator,
started at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon
on a double flight across the English
channel. He reached the English side
successfully. and was expected to make
the return trip at once.
The weather was magnificent when
the aeroplane rose from the ground for
it's daring trip, heretofore accomplished
only by Louis Bleriot.
Rising. the count took his machine
in wide circle over the cliffs and then
headed straight for Dover In Is min
utes he had disappeared from view.
A torpedo boat destroyer followed the
course of the aeroplane.
De Lesseps used a 50-horsepower
monoplane called "Scarabee." He as
cended from the point at which Bleriot
started on his cross channel flight last
July, and rose gradually to an altitude
Of 1000 feet, at which height he was
travelling when he was lost to view
in a light haze. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer Escopette followed in the wake
Of the flying craft.
Louis Bleriot. the French aviator,
crossed the English channel in an aero
plane on the morning Of July 25 last.
His unprecedented feat had not been
matched up to today.

MURDER OF ADAMS GIRI

Mays Landing, N. J. May o.
Charged with having been respon-
sible for the death Of Jane Adams, IS
years old, at the Million Dollar Pier in
Atlantic City, on the night of Febru-
airy 4, William Seyler today was called
to face jury in the Atlantic county
court.
The disappearance of Jane Adams
and the finding of her body in the surf

this section Of New Jersey. Seyler,
who Is a young married man Of Allan

Alice, both younger than the princi-
pals in the tragedy. After leaving Sey-
Ter and Jane Adams they went to the
ocean end Of the pier, and the younger
pair returned to their homes. Jane
Adams never returned home and the
following day the two Seylers disap-
peared. On February Is the body of
Jane Adams was found in the surf at
Chelsea.
Suspicion having directed to the
Seylers search was made for them and
a week later they were found in

all knowledge of the death Of the girl.
but later confessed, declaring, 1t is al
ieBeu lIldL Jane AudITlS met ner death
accidentally while with him near the
end Of the pier.
Reports of the alleged methods used
in wringing a confession from Will

United States senator to introduce a
resolution in the Senate inquiring into
the third degree methods Of police
authorities throughout the country.
No charges were preferred against

New York, May 24.-Bradstreet's
Saturday said:
Trade reports. except In the north
west and on the north Pacific coast
are of little gain in activity and, in
deed. In some lines such as textile
manufacturing. quiet or further cur
tailment is still the subject Of discus
sion. 1t is probable; however. that the
evidence Of crop and weather improve
ments came too late In the week to be
adequately reflected in the present
weeks reports. In the larger industrial
centers, particularly in the east, i'm
provement Is not as yet manifest
whereas the quieter tone of many lines
or the evidence Of further curtailment
Of operations point to other causes
than backward weather having been
operative In holding back demand.
There Is still evidence that anticipa-
lions as to spring trade were keyed too
high. Summed up, trade as well in
speculation seems to be in a waiting
stage.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending with May 10 were
225. against 216 last week. 219 in the
like week Of 1909, 2S4 in 1908. 1875 in
1907 and ITO in 1906.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 10, which compares with
"a for last week and rs In the cores
ponding week Of last year.
r. G. Dunn & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade today says:
The trade movement, taking the
country as a whole, continues large
That there Is in all the markets, and
particularly Is this the case in the Sc
curity market, much disappointment
that the extravagant expectations al
the beginning Of the year are not be-
ing fulfilled Is beyond question, and
this feeling results In very conser-
vative attitude on the part Of both
traders and consumers. There Is a
feeling among some that conditions in
separable from the period Of world
actions may be forcing some important
establishments, and the disposition Is
to wait for developments.

MIGHT BE HERET|C
 BUT NOT PROVED ACTION OF THE NEW YORK
 PREssYTEN. The Assembly's Judicial Committes
The Assembly's Judicial Committee
 Finds a Defective Record.

Atlantic City. N. J. May 27.-Com- missioners in attendance at the Pres byterian assembly demanded by resO- lutions this afternoon that official rec Ords be kept hereafter of all examina- tions made by candidates for the minis try by Presbyterian bodies.
 The resolution was introduced by Rev Robert s. Inglis of Newark, N. J.. who explained his belief that the lack of verbatim records in the heresy trial decided today had left the exam ming commission with a lack of real proof of the claims of the minority members of the New York Presbytery that the three ordained students had really expressed heretical beliefs.
 The general assembly. by unanimous vote adjudged that the heresy com plaint brought against the synod of New York had not been sustained. This action was taken on the recommenda- ton of the judicial committee.
 The case involved three students of the Union Theological seminary, who were alleged to have denied, among other things. the immaculate concep- tion. The students denied the charges. but said they were not prepared to ac- cept the doctrine of the miraculous conception with positiveness.

 Dewey was arrested and Lyppes was SD positive in his identification that the prisoner was convicted and sen tenced to prison. Dewey protested that he was in Portland on the night of the robbery. but his unsupported word did not establish an alibi. Two weeks ago Edward Bush and Harry Crawford. arraigned for participation in the Lyp- pes robbery, asked leave to speak in court and made confessions exonerat- ing Dewey.

|MUCKRAKER'S ISLANDER SUIT Writer of Golfers Begins
 Action Against Law|eP HE DEMANDS s2o,oO0
For Things the Interior De- partment's Attorney Said About Him While He Was a Witness in the Bal finger -Pinchot Inquiry.

New York, May 27.-Christopher P. COnnOlley, a lawyer of Montana. and New York and a well konwn mega zine writer, today filed a islander suit in the supreme court of the District of Columbia against Oscar Lawler. as the attorney general for the interior department. Connolley asks for s20.OOO.
 The suit is the first of the threat ened legal proceedings growing out of the Ballinger- PinchOt inquiry. It was rumored around the court today that Secretary Ballinger was prepared to invoke the law against some of his alleged traducers.
 The basis of the action is the tes- timOny given by MT. Lawler, May r. before the Ballinger-Pinchot commit tee wherein Mir. Lawler is said to have referred to Connolley and others as ~despicable scoundrels, who would stoop to any depths of degradation"
 He is further alleged to have tes- tified that "a man named Connolly stood on the deck of the steamship Republic, just before she went down and trampled down women and chil- dren in an attempt to get into the life boat
 When asked to identify the Con molly referred to, it is alleged that Lawler said: He is an employe of Golfers Weekly and is a tall. slender man with a short gray mOustache" This, MT. Connolly says. described him.
 MT. Lawler is further alleged to have said that he had considerable |contempt for the Connolly connected with Golfers Weekly anyway. and would not put him above anything of that kind.
 MT. Connolly charges that this con- meeting of him with the person on board the Republic is false. and that the accusation was maliciously made Mir. Connolly said later that at the time of the loss of the Republic he was in Los Angeles. many miles away from the scene of the disaster

THE MEN 0F THE PLUVOsE
 GIVEN UP AS LOST
A Theory That They Were Drowned
 Rather Than Suffocated.

Calais. France. May 27.-The French submarine Pluviose. struck and sunk by the Pas de Calais yesterday, was again located tonight after having been driven from her mud mooring at the bottom of the English channel today and carried hither and thither by the swift lower currents.
 Tonight various craft are moored above >the spot and are sending down divers to fasten chains about the wreck so that it may be raised to the surf ace. That the twenty-seven officers and men of the Pluviose all perished is the belief of naval officers who are as- sisting in the wrecking operations. There is an abundance of naphtha on the surface of the water, and this leads them to believe that the inner shell of the submarine was shattered by the blow of the Pas de Calais, and that all the crew were drowned
 The report that divers heard rap- ping last night from the inside of the submarine is now discredited
