ROYAL ROMANCE is RLIGHTED

On indisputable authority it is
learned that Princess Victoria Luise
of Prussia, only daughter of the kali
ser, is the unhappy heroine of true
love" romance, which is now finding
a sequel in the princess crest cure"
with her father on the Mediterranean.
The. princess, who will be 20 years
old next September, fell deeply in
love during the recent court season,
according to reports current in so
ciety, with the hereditary Count Fug-
ger, lieutenant in the elite gardes
du corps at Potsdam and descendant
of an ancient Bavarian family, which
was once the wealthiest in Europe.
The affection was mutual, but it
was necessary to represent to the
princess that marriage was impossi-
Bile, not only on account of the differ
ence in the lovers rank, but also be-
cause the Fuggers are devout Roman
Catholics.
The princess succumbed to dis

SECURES A STRENUOUS POST

Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson &C
cepted the post in Mexico City two
years ago because he had become
weary of the inactivity at the Brus-

matte excitement was the wearisome
controversy over the Belgian atroci-
ties in the Congo President Taft was
anxious to have him accept one of the
European posts, as fortunately he is
rich enough to pay the bills for house
rent and hospitality which these ap-
pointments demand, but he chose
Mexico City just for the pleasure of
downright hard work and hard fight
ing.
And he has certainly obtained it. It
would be difficult to overestimate the
difficulties OF his position. The in

been legion, and they have been espe-

WOMAN ACCUSES a. MEEKER
Mrs. Scott Durand Says Cows Con-
demned, Are o. KID at Stock
yards.

Washington, May 12.-The exist
ence of conspiracy between, the beef
packers and the government meat in
spection service was alleged here last
Friday when Mrs. Scott Durand, a
noted society leader and philanthropy
ist of Chicago, filed sensational evil
dence with Representative Nelson of
Wisconsin in a statement relating
how Arthur Meeker of Chicago, gen
eral manager of Armour & Co. and
himself clubman and society leader
known in two continents, utilized the
meat inspection service of the United
States department of agriculture in
an effort to put her famous dairy,
Crabtree Farm, out of existence be-
cause he regarded her as a rival.
In addition, the statement of Mrs.
Durand shows how, by her woman's
wit, she is alleged to have trapped
the government meat inspectors sent
by Meeker to condemn her herd,
and how they actually inspected
and passed for Armour & Co.'S
warehouses cows which they had
condemned as tubercular on her farm.
So important is the testimony offered
by Mrs. Durand that she has been
summoned as a witness, and she will
take the stand early next week.

Washington, May 14.-On Sunday
the following statement was issued
from the White House:
Among the insidious methods of at
tack pursued by some against me, is
the attempt to arouse religious preju-
dice on the charge that | am in some
manner unduly favoring the Roman
Catholic church. 1t has been my Of
fetal purpose first, as the governor
general of the Philippines; second, as
secretary OF war, and third, as presi-
dent, to encourage every church as far
as possible where this does not involve
inVidious distinctions, and does not
depart from the rule which separates
our state frora official relations to all
churches. l have unduly favored no
church, but have treated them all
with absolute impartiality.
In 1902 l visited Rome and con-
ferred with Pope Leo XIII. in an at
tempt to settle the friar land contro-
versy, which had arisen in the Phil
ippines while | was governor general,
and after time succeeded in doing
SO. When last March my aide, Major
Butt, set out on a trip solely for his
health and proposed to visit Rome he
asked me for a letter of introduction
to the present pope that he might
have the privilege of an audience, and
| gave him such a letter.
The evidence that there is con-
spiracy for the purpose of arousing
religious prejudice against me is
shown by the fact that at the instance
of some one unknown to me, 1t was
reported in great many very repect-
able newspapers that sent message
of welcome and congratulations to the
newly appointed apostolic delegate by
wireless to the incoming steamer
which was bearing him to New York.
No such message was sent by me, or
by anyone by my authority. Denial OF
the published report was issued from
the White House, but the denial has
obtained no publicity.
