BARON'S HARD FATE
LOSES HIS HEART And
Also HIS JEWELS.
TaIet Tar71ed Too Long
Police to Rescue Of Young
German ViSitOr.

The Baron Won Baldinger- Seidenberg,
having lost his heart and two black dia-
mond rings worth some thousands, fam
lily heirlooms at that, appealed to the
New York police. Last night he had his
reward. The jewels, at least. were re-
covered.
The baron is lieutenant in the re-
serves and came to America a week ago
with his valet. Alfred Gardner His
purpose. the police say. was to marry
young woman who lives somewhere in
Madison avenue On the night of Feb
ruary the baron called his man into
his rooms in the Plaza and sent him
with an envelope to the girls home. But
first he told him that inside were two
rings. one a black diamond solitaire and
the other set with seven black diamonds
in one cluster, They were worth $4,000
marks.
John Wfnters's saloon. at 59th street
and Sixth avenue. is not on the direct
route from the Plaza to any young
uoman's home on Madison avenue, but
that was where Gardner turned UP a few
minutes later. One Walter HulsebusCh.
a barkeep and a sympathetic soul, heard
gladly about the noble baron. his pas
sion and his diamonds while the drinks
came and went in rapid fashion.
When Alfred Gardner again recalled
that the was the Baron BaIdinger- Seid-
enberg's valet and messenger he had
Just awakened in a strange saloon 1t
proved to be at SD street and Sixth
avenue. The diamonds and the SYM
pathetic Hulsebusch were not there.
Since that day three big men with
silver stars and Celtic names have been
in the baron's apartments night and day
An advertisement offering a large re-
ward was published in the newspapers.
Last night the trap was sprung and a
man who said he was Rex Lyon. an iron
worker. of No. 101 Hudson street,
BROOKLYN. was caught in it. He denied
stealing the rings. he had found them.
he said, al 59th street and Sixth avenue
Then the detectives went to the saloon
and told the sympathetic Hulsebusch
that Lyon had "squeaIed.' Putting the
two men together, they finally got
confession from them. they say. Hulse-
busch was held for arraignment to-day
in the Tombs court, charged with grand
larceny. Lyon will be charged with re
ceiving stolen goods.
One of the baron's cards read, Baron
Won Baldinger- -Seidenberg. Lieutenant
der Reserves des Wanen Regiment,
KONG Karl CWurt) No. 19,"
The baron is about twentyfour years
old and is said to be wealthy. He told
the detectives that the value of the
stones was between $4,000 and $4,000.
The valet, Gardner, in making his COM
plant at Police Headquarters put the
value at $4,000 marks, or about $4,000
The baron would not see reporters at
the Plaza last night.

Philadelphia. Feb. "A case of interest

Court here to-day when a jury held the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company liable for
the full value of baggage lost in 10-cent
package room a one Of its stations in New

The company contended the package
rooms were only maintained for the accom-
mediation of passengers and the small cost
charged did not impose upon il any obli-
cation beyond SO. The Judge said the COM
uany had assumed the safe keeping of the
baggage and its failure 10 DO so amounted
practically to violation of contract. He
therefore permitted the case to go TO the
jury which rendered a verdict Of s254 >,

PRAISE FAIRBA NkS
MESS4GES FROM L. S.
His Statement Of Case-The
POpe's Tie1r.

Rome Feb 9-Ex- Vice President Fair
banks has received many cable dis
patches from the United States congrat-
uIating him on his attitude toward the
Vatican. One of the messages sa%s:
Your dignified vindication of American
liberation is heartily indorsed." Another
SAYS: The entire Protestant world
congratulates you"
Other messages have been received
from various places in Italy. among them
one saying: Greatly admire your attl-
tude in preferring TO speak to the Evan
geliCal people of Rome rather than sub
nit to Vatican intolerance
The "Tribuna." in commenting on the
incident says: "Ex-President Roosevelt
is expected here soon. He also has been
invited to speak before the Methodists.
We shall see if he prefers the Methodists
or the Pope
Several versions of the incident are in
circulation but Mr.. Fairbanks himself
gives the following
when on Sunday reached the Amerl-
can College MonsignOr Kennedy said
that he had been advised from the Nat1-
can that it would be impossible for me
to have a Papal audience if l delivered
my contemplated address at the Amerl-
can Methodist Church. 1 replied that I
had greed to make an address and was
obliged to keep the agreement: that l
had always exercised the privilege to
speak to Catholics and Protestants alike
whenever they desired and whenever it
was possible and. therefore. the ar
rangement for the audience I regarded
as ended.
Il spoke to the students of the Ameri-
can College along patriotic and moral
lines. giving the Catholic Church
full share of the credit for the great
work accomplished by all the Christian
churches The subject of the Papal audi
ence was suggested again by Monsignor
Kennedy a little later. He had re
Ceived further instructions in the mean
time, and said that if l did not speak
at the Methodist Church the audience
would hold good. l replied that l appre
ciated the intended courtesy, but the al
tentative was impossible. I would speak
as announced, and thus would be obliged
to fOregO the aud1enCe WIN lne rope.
When 1 advised DR.. Triple, the pastor
of the Methodist Church, he said that
he was ready to release me from the
engagement, but 1 answered that that
was impossible. Under the circum-
stances [ felt obliged to speak in full
flment of a promise made before the
Papal audience was arranged"
The Pope personally considered to-day
the recent incident involving former
Vice President Fairbanks. to whom the
Vatican refused a private audience be-
cause he insisted on keeping an earlier
enga cement to address the Methodist So
ciety here. His holiness said that he
regretted that he had not been able TO
receive Mr. Fairbanks, but that he could
not depart from the policy adopted. as to
do so would appear to give recognition
to the disloyal interference of certain
Protestant denominations.

Washington, Feb 9.-Replying to the

Bishop Cranston. Of the Methodist Epis-
.opal Church. declared o-day that the
Methodist Episcopal Church is working
openly and honestly in Rome; that 1t does
not take advantage of the poor. as Arch
bishop ireland alleged. and that Mr.. Fair
banks by his action both taught and ex-
cmplifed true catholicity."
He said that if the Archbshops reason
ing th3t it would have meant an indorse-
ment of the -pernicious propaganda" of the
Methodist Association is correct, ''dipIo-
macy must at once exclude many people
who have been frequent callers at the
White House. lest offence be given TO

Work Never Stops.

Along our route up the ravine just
described and up another similar route
to be described later, we saw hundreds
of miners going and coming. They
wore overalls mostly. In their caps OF
duck that was white, or had once been
white, were little lamps worn in the
mines to light the way. The miners
who were going in were generally clean
faced and fresh. Those coming out
were black with coal dust, and some OF
them looked pretty tired but others
seemed TO show no signs of fatigue.
The work continues night and day,
going on by shifts, and the miners are
paid by the piece, on basis of so much
per ton, the amount going to the diff
ferent members of the respective gangs
in proportion to their relative import
ance.
After coming down from the switch
back. we took another start and as
cended another ravine, which is the
main centre of the mining operations.
The locomotive pulled us up as far as
II goes. several hundred feet, and then
we were transferred into small steel
mining cars, operated by an electric
trolley system. The cars are about four
feet high, six feet wide, twelve feet
long and two feet deep. We were
loaded in at the rate of about ten to

The long train made a sudden plunge
into darkness, slowed up gradually and
came to stop in the light. When
the passengers got out they touhu
themselves i'm vast amphitheatre,
with walls of solid rock rising to a
height of go feet, and the sky visible
through the top. There was standing
room sufficient for about two thousand
people. In front of us there was a
great dark hole into which the engine
and three or four cars extended, ana
behind another hole that still held the
rear cars. After we had alighted, the
train pulled on through and left us IN
possession. Then we could See that we

The Arrival at johnson ;ity.

1t was about dark when we rolled
into Johnson City, and everybody hav-
ing finished supper-"dinner," you
must call it, if you do not want to be
called old fashioned-we started up
town by two or three different streets.
1t was understood that we were to re-
ceive some attention from the Board
of Trade, but there was not definite
information as to the programme.
However, the Board of Trade people
were equal to the occasion. Although
we got into the business part of the
town before they could get to our cars,
they posted their men at every outlet,
made. themselves known, got us to-
gether, presented us with street car
tickets to the Soldiers Home, and also
tickets of admission to an entertain
men that had been arranged for our
special benefit. The entire party went
out to the home and with them big
crowd of Johnson City people.

The Copper Creek Viaduct.

Returning to Speer's Ferry we got
look at the Copper Creek viaduct
on the c. C. & o., over which we were
to pass few minutes later. The Nir-

lels the c.. C. & o. at this point, run
ming along close to the foot OF the
structure, which is within few hun
dred feet of the point wnere copper
creek empties into Clnch river. The
Copper creek viaduct is LOO feet
long and 10 feet high at the highest
point. Looking up from below the
top appears to be only about two feet
wide; but there is full twelve feet of
space. plenty of room for pedestrians,
even while a train is passing. This
viaduct is featured as one of the un-
usual sights of the road, and although

The Soldiers Home.

The Soldiers Home is an ideal little
city, built on purpose from the start
without limit as to the amount of
money that would be deemed sufficient
to make it complete. There are some
thing over 400 acres of the grounds,
laid off in concrete roads and walks,
beautified by landscape gardening to
the climax of human art and skill, nu-
merous Conservatives, great barracks,
hospital buildings, chapels, splendid
opera house, headquarters offices,
electric plant. big hotel open to the
public and every luxury and convent
ence that can be thought of. SO far
the government has spent more than
two million dollars on the place. There
are in the homs about 1900 Federal
soldiers, most of them foreigners who
never had any people in this country
and who have a great time among
themselves as their inclinations sug-
gest, and living on the fat of the land.
There are eight other such homes.
| and the soldiers go from one to the
other. pretty much as the notion
strikes them.
