Director of the Royal Opera at
Munich Is Dead.

Munich, Germany July 3.-Felix

Munich. is dead. He had been serious
~ i'll for about two weeks and on
June %, when he learned he was in a
critical condition, he married Senta
Fassbender, one of the foremost sing
ers of the Royal opera
The disease from which Herr Mottl
suffered was complicated by mental
trouble because of personal attacks
made against him on account of his
betrothal to Fraulein Fassbender, and
the cross suit for divorce which his
wife brought against him. He broke
down while conducting the opera iris
tan and Isolde
Felix Mottl was born IN 1856. He
was noted as an orchestral conductor
and was at one time conductor of the

Shonts had not been consulted yet.
When he was ne said with some
warmth that his daughter would wed
an American. But Mrs. Shonts was

All Mr.. Shonts had tC do was to make

IN. After the humility of being caught
in what appeared to be an attempt to
smuggle Mrs. Shonts had to get $4,000
from her husband to pay the duty
Theodore Shonts and the Duke of
Chaulnes were married in New York
in 1908. She was a beautiful and pop
ular young woman and the family had
a great society event and Mrs. Shonts
felt that the goal of her social aspira-
tons had almost been reached.
But it was a short lived marriage.
The young Due de Chaulnes was
found dead before the birth of his only
son, who came into the dukedom with
the empty coronet waiting for him.
Rumors that a drug which he used
habitually caused his death never have
been disproved
Since the birth of the child in 1910
Mrs. Shonts has spent most of her time
at her daughters apartments, IS Ave

meantime has continued his work.

FRISCO IS SCARED.
Two Earthquake Shocks in Quick Sue
cession Cause Panic.

San Francisco, July 3.-Two earth
quake shocks, the heaviest since the
big earthquake and fire of 1906, sepa-
rated by only a few seconds, Jared the
central portion Of California and west
ern Nevada late Saturday. The first
sharp shock experienced was followed
within a few seconds by one Of similar
intensity each lasting about five Sec
onds.
Only trivial damage has been report
ed from any section, but in San Fran
cisco and other cities panic seized upon
crowds in stores and restaurants, and
there was a pellmel exodus from the
large buildings
Some slight damage was done to
buildings in San Francisco. Heavy
stones in the cornice of the Mechanics
bank building were moved slightly out
of alignment. Superficial cracks were
made in several large office buildings.
Corniees of the new pOstoffice building
were disarranged and minor damage
was done to the interior walls of a
number of other buildings.
Within a few seconds after the first
shock many downtown buildings were
depOpulated in the rush to the street.
Telephone and telegraph service was
suspended because of the operators de-
sorting switchboards and keys. Her

fell dead of fright and cases of hysteria
or cuts or bruises SuHer6Q IN LDS
semipanic were treated at the emer-
gency and other hospitals.
The deep booming which usually
marks disturbances of a widespread
character accompanied the first tremor.
In San Francisco the groaning and
cracking of the strained steel struc-
lures played q larger part in Fighter
ing people than did the tremors.
Santa Rosa, which suffered a greater
disaster IN proportion to it's size than
did San Francisco in the catastrophe OF
1906. scarcely felt the shock.
San Jose, another heavy sufferer in
1906, reported that the shock was the
sharpest experienced since that time,
but that it did TO serious damage.
Stockton and Fresno, in the San Joa-
quin valley, were frightened by the
jarring, but there. as in Sacramento.
where the state offices were deserted in
a trice as a result of the trembler, the
damage to buildings was trifling.
In Reno, New, the shock was scarce
~ felt but in Carson it was severe.
The federal court was in session in the
Nevada capital and judge, jury and at
torneys rushed to the street.
At the Santa Clara college observa-
tory both reels were thrown off the
seismographs. They were Immediately
replaced, but the record of the dis
turbance will be incomplete.
the mean time clock at the observa-
tory of the University of California
was stopped for the first time since the
great quake of five years ago.

NO MONEY TO WORK ROADS.
County Finds That Funds for This
Purpose Are Short.

Shawnee county has no money with
which to work the roads and it is prob
able that only such road work as is
necessary will be done by this county
this summer. The county's road fund
is at the present overdrawn and it is
several months until the fund will be
replenished-
The heavy road work of the last few
months exhausted the county's funds.
Then the commissioners drew on the
road found to cover a deficit in other
departments and at present there is not
a dollar Aor road work To be sure
there is small amount due the road
fund from the borrowing departments,
but this month will scarce enable the
county to do the necessary work before
the December taxes are collected.
People who are expecting much
county road work this year" said Com
missioner O'Neill. will be sadly disap-
pointed. We have no money with
which to carry on the campaign and
will not receive additional revenue for
some time. When people ask the
county to build new roads this year,
they must expect to be disappointed. .
The campaign for good roads seems
to have caused the trouble. AS soon
as the commissioners showed a ten
dency to build better roads, there was
a cIamor for work from revery locality
The result was that the work outlined
in the spring took all the money which

the defendant in suit for alienation
