WOOD PIGEONS ARE
 DESTROYING CROPS

London, March 5.-(special.) )-Enslish farmers are suffering from the depreda- tions of enormous nocks of wood pigeons
 In several places gigantic shoots have been arranged for the slaughter of these unwelcome guests, the majority of whom have migrated in flights of tens of thou sands from Scandinavia and the north of Europe generally
 The pigeon does an enormous amount of damage in fields of young clover, each pigeon often eating well over half a pound of clover shoots in a day. flight of pigeons can clear up a field of young clover just as easily as can flock of sheep.
 Nature has been helping man this win ter in his attack on the pigeons and large quantities of dead birds have been picked up lately in the woods and the wheat fields.
 In many cases the disease that has wrought this havoc has been discovered to be form of diphtheria It Is there fore wise to bury at once all such bodies as soon as found. Otherwise the disease may be communicated to the pheasants.
 Another cause of death is surfeit of green food. for, like the sheep. the pig con never knows when he has enough.
 The cause of the diphtheria in the wood pigeons Is not known. but English keep CTS accuse the foreign birds of bringing 1t over with them every year.

CHAPTER IN
 THE ALLENSTEIN TRAGEDY

wrists with a knife which had been SUD- piled with his dinner.
 Medical experts declared that Frau Von Schoenebeck was not responsible for her actions, and she was removed to the state asylum at Kortau. After a years con- hnement she was removed to a private sanitorium, but subsequently, released
 Nothing more was heard regarding her until the announcement a few weeks ago that she had been married in London.
 Frau Weber's statement in her own de- fense follows:
 ''It is terribly difficult for me to speak about the Allenstein drama. Often during the last two years. when overcome with despair, I wanted to defend myself, but the task seemed hopeles.
 q have not even explained the circum- stances to my present husband. Those who regard me as the murderess of Ma jor Won Schoenebeck and as the instiga- tor of that tragedy are entirely ignorant regarding the cause of the terrible deed.
 When I married Major Won Echoene- beck he was 36 and I was 1s I was young and inexperienced. and married to escape the clutches of my stepmother.
 T do not want to complain of my mur- dered husband. He was good-natured, but he neglected me-even the first day after the honeymoon, when he went shooting. Eight months after the mar riage I made a unsuccessful attempt at suicide, and on two subsequent occasions I again tried to kill myself.
 "Allensten Is a small garrison town. It offered no distinctions whatever. l needed some one to love me in whom I could confide. My husband did not care for me. so that others took his place. Society in Allenstein acquiesced as long as outward appearances were observed.
 T made the acquaintance of Captain Von Goeben at ball in January 1S7
 we became good friends and eventual ly he urged me to obtain a divorce and marry him. I always refused, although I did not try to conceal the fact that my marriage was an unhappy one.
 Sometimes Captain Von Goeben talked of challenging my husband to duel un- der such conditions that one of them must be killed.''
 After Captain Won Goeben's arrest he accused Frau Won Schoenebeck of hav- ing instigated the murder. She declares that he was goaded into this statement by being told that she had accepted at tention from other men while pretending to be friendly with none but Captain Won Goeben himself.
 But public opinion condemned me- her statement continues. 'I have lived the life of Ishmael. dared not appear any where under my right name. I moved from place to place, from hotel to hotel, from boarding house to boarding house.
 1T could not remain anywhere because was recognized. Finally found home in a boarding house frequented by Amer jeans, where I met my present husband. He did not know my real Identity, and only knew my real name after he had proposed to me-" Frau Weber declares that she courts a trial in order that her innocence may be proved.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-03-06

[, sBerIin. March 5.-tSpecial.) )-Anotner re- markarle chapter has been added to the usa story of Frau Weber, formerly Frau yon Schoenebeck, who was the central figure of the Allenstein tragedy on Chrlst- mas morning. 19U.
 Her first husband, Major Won Schoene- heck. was murdered under particularly atrocious circumstances by Captain Won Goeben, brother officer. who afterwards committed suicide in gaol. Frau Won snent a year In an insane asylum, and after hen, release wandered about the world. to use her own expression, like Ishmael."
 While living in London recently she met A. o. Weber, German author, and be- came his wife. This resulted in her de- nunciation in the Reichstag by member z who protested against her not having been brought to trial for complicity in the murder of Herr Won Schoenbeck.
 Herr Weber demanded and secured an apology from the deputy for his attack. This is now followed by an amazing statement by Frau Weber. in which she explains her part In the Allenstein trag- edy and expresses her willingness to be tried.
 The murder of Major Von Schoenbecls took place early on Christmas morning. captain Von Goeben, who was .nfatu- ated with Frau von Schoenebeck, was present at her house on Christmas eve. when he masqueraded as Santa Claus and distributed gifts to Major Von Schoenbeck's children. He left before the other members of the party at Il o'clock, but instead of leaving the house. hid in Frau Won Schoenebeck's bedroom.
 After covering his face with velvet mask purchased the day before, he wait ed until Major Von Schoenebeck was asleep. Then creeping into the latter s room he shot him at close quarters Cap tain von Goeben left the house by win dow, hurried to his apartments in the barracks, hid the mask. changed into civilian attire, and was returning to the house in order to throw the body of his Victim into the Aller river when he en- countered military patrol.
 He was arrested next day, and soon confessed to the murder. He remained in fail until March 2. when he com smitted suicide by cutting his throat and

Io,..n and Princess Victoria in his royal yacht Later in the year, when the hihs goes to Marienbad he may hait at per lin to have meeting with the kalser' but this will likewise be of purely pri- vate nature.
 It Is understood that the King is very anxious to create Prince Arthur Of con naught a peer in his own right, and this step is likely to be taken very shortly. The offer of 8 peerage to the young prince was formerly made by the King, following the usual precedent. when he came of age a few years ago. It was then, however, declined by the Duke Of Connaught on behalf of his son, who he desired should remain merely the heir or his dukedom. It has been found, now ever. at state functions that the prince's present rank is rather unsatisfactory; so he is now to be given g. dukedom or nis own. What his title shall be has yet to be determined, but there are reasons for believing that the King favors the re- yiyal of the time-honored royal title of the Duke of Kent and this Is what will nrobab bly, be done The last Duke Of Kent was the grandfather of his present majesty and the Duke of Connaught, and 1t was the first title suggested for the present Prince of Wales. It was, how ever. then overruled by the late Queen Victoria, and the Duke of York was se- lected by her in its place. So soon as this title Is bestowed upon the young prince, which will probably be upon the occasion of the official celebration of the Kings birthday, next June, he will take his seat in the house of lords.
 Lord Lansdowne, the unionist leader in inc house of lords. has a real help meet in his charming wife. who is most gifted woman. She is a keen politician and such an excellent diplomat that Bis marck. the Iron Chancellor, once said of her that she was too clever for most of his ambassadors. When Lord Lansdowne was viceroy of India. Lady Lansdowne managed to acquire wonderful knowl- edge of native life and affairs.
 Her information was not merely gained second-hand, for, disguised as native. she used to visit the poorest quarters of Calcutta. She often ran considerable risks. but she has plenty of courage, and the information she gained was some times valuable.
 For instance, she was once able to save an innocent man from being hanged for murder. The judge who was trying the case was dining at the vice regal lodge. During the evening Lady Lansdowne took him aside and said, The man who is charged with that murder Is innocent. If you will send me a detective l will show the house where the murderer lives.'
 Thanks to Lady Lansdowne, the real cuiprit was caught and the innocent man set free; but she would not reveal how she gained her knowledge of the actual facts of the case The incident made her very popular with the natives of Calcutta Tho Fortune of War, at Pye Corner. |West smithneld.

Confidentially, we don't believe 1t. A German, a Frenchman, and an Amer ican were shipwrecked and cast upon an island inhabited by semi-savages. The chief potentate of the place informed the involuntary visitors that the post of Lord High Executioner was vacant and would be awarded to that one of them who could fill 1t with most credit. Three con demned men were brought forth Tor the trials.
