FICH DIVER HAS ACCIDENT.
Daring Girl With Krause Carnival
Co. Meets With Mishap.


Miss Elma Meier, the daring high
diving girl who daily created sensa-
lions and thrilled hundreds during
the week the Krause Greater Shows
were in Dawson, met with a peculiar
accident while performing her feat
in Albany Friday night. The Herald
tells Of it as follows:
Miss Meier, on account of the
cold, has been making her high dive
first and then giving a series of dives
from a small spring board a few feet
above the tank. Last night she
climbed to the top of the high lad
der, gave the signal for the dive and
came down into the water with a
splash. She was several seconds in
emerging from the tank, and the
crowd began to fear she had been
hurt. At last she climbed to the
top Of the tank, and as she did it
was seen that she was holding her
right side. People began to fear
she had been badly hurt, but those
who were close could see that her
tights were torn just above the waist
line on her right side.
The young lady's father, who
travels with her, was seen this morn
ing and when asked about the acct
dent stated that Miss Meier was not
hurt in the least, but was unable to
go on with the act on account of
tearing her diving suit"

Emperor of Sahara Now Lives
in New York.
Ruler 10 Without Funds - Former
Boulevardler, Known as "The Lit

In Big Law Suit.

New York.-JacQues Lebaudy, first
emperor of the Sahara, idler OF the
Paris boulevards and one time lover
of the spectacular, has found New
York place where he can indulge in
many of the eccentricities which
made him notorious in France and
elsewhere. AS an asylum for rejected
and detected monarchs, he prefers 1t
to England.
Strange as It may seem, in city
where publicity is the lot OF doers OF
the. unconventional the emperor OF
the Sahara In the six years that he
has spent In exile here has had many
adventures which have escaped no
tice.
As was his wish when he came here

and the Carnegie Trust company for
an accounting Of something like ST.
000, 1000, that being the value of prop
erty In France whick he alleges the
trust company vas to dispose Of for
him.
The suit brought by Jacques Pre-
mier, as he used to sign himself on
hotel registers, is really an echo OF
his Saharan expedition. It was in
1905 that Lebaudy. forced to aban-
don his scheme OF empire in the
desert owing to the refusal OF the
powers to recognize his claims, de-
termined to seek an asylum In the
United States. Because of the treat
ment of some of his men France had
become uncomfortable for him. In
September, 1908, he issued a procla-
nation offering his French property
for sale, signed by his imperial hand
which was sent to leading bankers
abroad and which was the forerunner
of his present suit.
It was after this proclamation that
the emperor says he turned over the

A mournful grunt of appeal from
the negro testified there was. He in

Then the members of the Schmidt
family arose gingerly from the long

George A. Schmidt began making
motions to his wife and daughter.
They watched him a moment. then

clothing. George A. Schmidt. Jr., the
son, told the police the story of the
negro VS.. the Schmidt family.
Young Schmidt came home from q

porch was open. He switched on the
lights suddenly, after entering quiet

davenport in the parlor.

went to the telephone. She returned
and took her place beside the family.
1t was found that the negro had

valuables on a tablecloth and was
about to depart when young Schmidt
entered. At the Hudson avenue po-
