NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Count Vic
tor Felix Eugene Noss, affinity, and
Mrs Francesca May Riderman, nee
Marchesa Ricci, grass widow of the
Rockefeller of Hamburg beat the
clock in race from Hoboken to the
city hall today. They won by five
minutes BIZ the city hall clock after
travelling all the way from Berlin to
get married here, They arrived today
on the Ka,serin Auguste Victoria. :.
81 loved her the moment ! met her,
said the count. who was forced 10 eX-
plain.
The grass widow, 26, short. plump,
dark and handsome. acquiesced- They
were married within fifteen minutes
after they got the license.
Mr. Redermap. who deals III OIL IN
Hamburg, which is 4 city of rich
men. was so wealthy that they could
not think of calling him anything but
"the Rockefeller of Hamburg The
count thinks he is mighty lucky TO have
won the wife Of a man Of such fortune
and position. The count, about AZ, is
tall, good. looking man, VINO is some
thing Of an athlete. He is a crack
lawn tennis player and is said to be
able to shoot rifle as accurately as
the best man in Germany. He was pop
ular on board the liner and the woman
readily enough admitted the count $
story of her divorce of her husband
because she wanted to be free to marry
again, was true.
The goodlooking count and his hand
some affinity had not been long on
the liner before their story had become
known to all in the first cabin. De.
spite the fact that some persons called
it an elopement, the widow and The
count were pleasantly received by
everyone and caused considerable
amusement by their anxiety about the
marriage laws of the United States.
For some reason they could not ex
plain all the legal reasons they did
not wed after the widow had lawfully
anti the Rockefeller of Hamburg.
They hurried on here that they might
have the benefit Of more liberal laws
Once they learned that on American
soil they could go to the city hall be
fore IL O 'clock and get license from
tho city clerk and be wcdded IN len
minutes more by Alderman Smith, who
holds forth on the basement, they were
happy.
After Mrs, Reiderncn had made Out
her application for license in which
She stated that she had been divorced

DISCUSS KILLING
OF YOUNG GARLAND
Two Lawyers, a Man and a
Woman, Take Opposite
Views of the Case.
sy Leased Wire 10 The Tribune.

BY Leased Wire TO The Tribune.
NEW YORK, Sept 23.-The killing
Iof young Garland by Mrs. McCrca of
Opelousas, La, because of an alleged
Insult offered her, has bcen much dis
|cussed in legal circles here.
Two lawyers-a man. and n woman,
both prominent at bar in New York
discussed the case today, Singularly
enough, the man. John F. Mcintyre,
who has figured both AS prosecutor and
defender in many murder eases in New
York, held that a woman had night
TO take the law in her own hands under
a terrible insult
The woman. Miss Mary Coleman. said
she thought if the insult were so horri-
Bile as to upset the reason OF the wom-
an. tho killing might be excusable, but
never iustifiable
I" Leaving the cold law side out of
it, said Mr.. Mcintyre. tI think it
would be good thing on the whole if
ia few Insulters of women were killed in
New York. The situation here is dis
gushing a woman is not safe on the
street, on the subway or on the street
cars. The only remedy the law offers
entails the publicity of an appearance
in court. which the sort OF a woman
! who is most wounded by insult would
shrink from.
cit is of course impossible to know
Ianything about the actual merits of
this case \ Young man was killed by
the woman in. her own home in broad
daylight She is 40 and lie %. Be.
cause of the difference in their ages,
I would be inclined to think that posi-
| bly, she was in some way TO blame.
"But assuming the facts are as she
b,. eta Cd he

lthe country or in New York, for that
matter, who would vote to convict her
Of murder. She speaks only of the in
Isult. If she can demonstrate to the
satisfaction OF the jury that he at
tempted violence, all doubt as to her
iacquittal is removed.
Miss Coleman takes different view
in some respects.

think that the woman can be excused.
She does not claim tho young man at.
tempted violence. it was simply n
question of protecting her honor. There
were two servants within sound of her
voice, and if she had strength enough
to kill him. she had strength enough to
call for help,
"The law would have relieved her Of
4 possibility Of future insult. and her
husband or relatives could have horse
whipped him before or after the law
had finished with him. But killing was
liuexcusable.

NM er prices for the winter of 1911.
Wv 10 is the forecast of the of
hcials Of the department of ag.
riculture, based upon the knowledge OF
crop conditions already in hand, 1t is
admitted by the statistician Of every
bureau of the department that the
prices Of foodstuffs generally for the
coming winter will be even higher than
the winter of l909-10.
The corn crop shortage, according to
the latest figures. will be not less than
400 100000 bushels. This is the chief
item of Uncle Sam s food producing
business.
Corn is the greatest fattener of meat
producing animals and the increase in
the price Of corn must be felt directly
in the price of stock feed and in con-
sequence in the price Of all meats.
The potato shortage is even more
noticeable than the corn shortage, but
so far as this country is concerned is
not so serious in its effects Last
years potato crop was $50, 100000 bush
els. This years will not exceed 252,-
600 900 bushels
