Prince Eitel's disappearance from
public life had been one OF the
strange incidents in German society
In recent years. A few years ago
his name was in everybody's mouth.
The crown prince was hardly known
by sight to most OF his future sub
jects, but '.Eitel Fritz" was a popular
hero.
1t was due to his intense popularity
in Germany that when political affairs
In Austria looked worst report was
widely circulated and credited that
the Hur sfrians intended to ask for
Eitel as their king. 1t Is said that this
preference for the second son wor.
ried Emperor William good deal, so
he was more than delighted when
soon after marriage the crown prince
began to rise in popular estimation,
while Prince Eiters star seemed to
wane.
1t 10 fairly certain that the crown
prince has been greatly helped by hia
extremely clever. ambitious wife. Al.
Though she has plenty of family cares
(even German princelets have to cut

husband does not neglect his. 1t II

AUTO KILLS BOY, THEN
DRIVER SPEEDS AWAY,
Police of New York Search for
Car in Fatal Accident.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-More than a
score of detectives were detailed today
to visit every garage in the city to find
the automobile which ran down and
killed S-year-old Henry OFT, jr.. in front
of his home at 1853 Courtlandt venue
the Bronx. The boy died soon after
being removed to the Lebanon Hospi-
tai. While the police have a general
description, they are not sure of the
number the car bore, but, as the wind
shield was shattered when the child
was run down, the detectives believe
that this, will be their most valuable
clue in finding the driver.
The boys father is a policeman and
was looking out of the window of his
home, watching his son., when the child
was run down. Otto had been roller
skating in Melrose Park, and started
for the house with his skates slung
over his shoulder. Waving to his
father, the boy stepped from the curb
into the roadway in 161st street.
Without even a warming chug and
unseen by the child the automobile pore
down upon the boy, struck him and
slowed down.. The mud-guard struck
the boy on the head, the jar shatter-
ing the glass shield.
The slackening of pace, which wit
nesses declare at the time of the acct
dent was very swift, was only for a
moment. The car shot forward again,
turned northward to 16Sth street, thence
into Park avenue, where it turned
south and disappeared.

Judge Weeps as Their Parents
Neglect Is Rehearsed
in Court.

One of the most pathetic cases in the
history of the Third Precinct Police
Court came up today when John and
Della Cairns. of 80 Van Buren, street.
were arraigned before Judge Hahn
on a charge of neglecting their
two children. Thomas, 4 years old, and
Della, I years old. The charge was
preferred by Superintendent John Gull
len, of the Catholic Aid Society, and
according to his story the pitiful con
ditions to which he referred have ex-
listed in the Cairns home for over six
years. The mother was taken into GUS
tody yesterday and as the father works
almost every day and night, it was
necessary to provide for the children.
After a long search they were found
in the street half-clad, almost bare
footed and wet through after being out
for hours in the snow and rain. They
were taken to the Third Precinct Sta
ton and made comfortable by the men.
A good supper was provided, and when
night came the tots were provided with
blankets and a warm, soft bed was i'm
provised, into which they gladly tum-
bled for what was probably the first
