LOSES AMERICAN
W|FE'S MILLIONS
Count Szechenyi, Who Married
Gladys Vanderbilt.
COURT SCANDAL is FEARED.
Countess Home In Budapest the Cen
ter Of Exclusive Hungarian
Aristocracy--count Victim
OF Mining Swindle.

Budapest = 1t has just became
known here that the condition of Count
Szechenyi's financial affairs were the
reason for his leaving this city with
the Countess, formerly Gladys Wander
bilt.
Reports that the Countess persuaded
her husband to leave because the Hun
garian aristocracy has snubbed her
ever since she has been among them
are utterly without foundation. In
fact, the Countess since her arrival
here has been popular and has been
received everywhere among the high
est nobility as an equal. Her home
has been the center of the exclusive
Hungarian aristocracy and her house is
one of the finest, IL not the finest, in
Budapest. 1t has magnificent art
collection, which, with the rare fur
nishings of her residence, is valued at
| 100000
Count Szechenyi is reported to have
lost more than $4,O00,000 of his wife's
fortune. He has been the victim of
mining swindle in which he lost huge
sums on the Budapest and Vienna
| boerses. The story runs that the
Court, being anxious to become Hun
gary's Vanderbilt, organized among the
rich landowners and other members of
the aristocracy what became known as
the "magnate group" for operations OF
a speculative nature
Everything went well for time.

Il financial talent Last autumn, how
2 ever, the Count and his associates
failed to see the financial storm which
} was brewing as the result of the
Balkan War and the consequent stoch
exchange depression and the unsettled
: international situation which was hov
, ering over Austria-Hungary, When the
storm of Black Wednesday, October
J -, swept by the "magnate group" was
among the cripples of the financial
: battlefield, having lost some ST.Q00,0 900
The Counts personal losses were
estimated at $2,000,000.
About a year ago Count Szechenyi
: and his friends were interested in coal
and iron mines near Krasso-Szoreny
} close to the big mines owned by the
Austro-Hungarian State Railway. The
J latter had owned the mines in which
the Count and his friends became in
terested, but their experts having re
ported that they were of little value

J report made by Belgian engineers
r that the property at conservative
I estimate was worth $100,000,000.
The Count, relying on the report o
the Belgians, is said to have interested
: among others, the big firm of Delay 8
! Sepule, of Brussels, who invested Sc,
g 100000. The Count and his friends in

other sources s1,5O0,OOO capital wa

Superficial Reasoning.

What the average man will save by
tariff, revision is one of those ques-
tions which only events can answer.
Pending such authoritative decision
there is a range of prophecy from
grave to gay, according to the politics
of the prophet. A New York business
man figures out to his own satisfac-
tion that the maximum savings on
s25 suit of clothes under the proposed
new tariff, assuming that wages re-
main unchanged, cannot be in excess
of 55 cents. Another expert, how
ever, puts the savings on SIS suit
as high as 6S cents. An enthusiastic
revisionist calculates that the enact.
ment of the Underwood bill will mean
81 saved to every man, woman and
child in the United States. This is
a golden forecast of goodly sum, for
such per capita savings would aggre-
gate not far from $380,000,000. 1t
is noteworthy that this optimistic
prophet does not take into calcula-
tion the possibility of good many
workers being forced into idleness by
tariff revision. Perhaps reflection on
this consideration would affect the
rich roturdity of his prophecy

JAPANESE ARE.
HARD TO HOLD
Government Officials Are Trying
to PaCify Them.
A VERY DIFFICULT PROBLEM
Authority Of the Government Has
Diminished Since the Death Of
the Old Japanese
Emperor

Tokio.-The news that the Califor-
mia Alien Land Ownership Bill had
been signed by Governor Johnson was
received here with regret, although it
had been discounted in official and non
official circles. 1t was hoped up to
the last moment, however, that Wash
ington's Intervention would prove sue
ceasful. The newspapers published
extra editions with the announcement
that the bill had been signed.
The efforts of the Japanese govern
ment are concentrated at present on
pacifying public opinion, but the task
is regarded in many quarters as a
more difficult one than at the time OF
the Californian school controversy or
even year ago.
Since the death of the old Japanese
Emperor the authority of the govern
ment has steadily diminished in resist
ing the growing influence of public
opinion, and the spirit of democracy is
augmenting throughout the Empire.
Arthur blanchard, secretary
of the United States Embassy, visited
Baron Noboaki Maxine, the Japanese
foreign minister, and reiterated the
determination of the United States
government to exert every effort in
order to find friendly and satisfac-
tory solution of the question. He EN-
phasized the fact that 1t was Cali
fornian and not an American question,
and thanked the Japanese government
for its friendliness and for its at

California Executive Makes
AIien-land Law Operative.
LITTLE SERIOUS ANXIETY.
While the Governor Was Signing the
Bill, Two Members of the Japan
ese Parliament Were Arriving
To Study the Situation.

Sacramento, Cal.-California's Alien
Land Bill became law of the State
Monday. Against the protests OF
Japan and the representations OF Presi-
dent Wilson and his personal envoy,
Secretary of State Bryan, Governor
johnson signed the bill and 30 days
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture, or on August 10, the act becomes
operative.
While the Governor was signing the
bill the steamship Korea was passing
through the Golden Gate bearing two
distinguished Japanese, one a former
pupil of President Wilson, upon mis-
sion of investigation. Meanwhile, COM
plications, national and sectional, beset
the bill. Overshadowing all is the
outcome of the negotiations now in
progress between this country and
Japan, which has interpreted the act
as discriminatory and offensive.
Within California itself the act has
encountered triple hostility, which may
delay its activity until November /,
1914.
As an expression of this opposition
Theodore Bell, late Democratic candi-
date for governor and former chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, has issued an invitation to his
party to submit the issue to the peo-
pie by invoking the referendum against
| the bill. He bases his opposition on
] two contentions-on that the bill IS
insuffciently drastic because it per
mits leases running three years, and,
\ second, because at the presene It EN-;
I barrasses the national administration.
The Asiatic Exclusion League, an
/ organization of which the president is
Olaf A. Tveitmoe, recently convicted ol
completely in the dynamite plot
originating in Indianapolis, announced
that it would invoke the referendum
purely because it opposes the bill as
faint-hearted.
Thirdly, the powerful Panama-Pa
cific International Exposition Com
pany, backed by many chambers oi
commerce, has placed itself on record
In opposition to the bill on the GROUND
that il is a violation of faith.
"Any action of the legislature" sale
the directors of the company "of
fensive to any foreign country, to theil
pride as people or their honor as {
nation, must challenge the good faitl
of the commonwealth.
In reply to this threatened hostility
Governor johnson said, in signing th'
bill:
"California for the first time in it
history has an anti-alien law An!
man who wishes another kind of Law
may consistently invoke the initiative
No man who really wishes an anti
alien law will sign the referendum a
to this law.
"If another law is sought it may b
presented by means of the initiativ
and in the meantime the present lay
will be in operation"

LOOK TO OLD PARTY
RepubIicanism Still Strong in
Sentiment of Country.
Record of Worthy Deeds for TWO GEM
erations Can Not Be Forgotten
Present Split Is Not to Be
of Permanence.

There are many things associated
with the name and fame of Republic
anism, which progressives and con-
servatives will alike commend and
sustain. First of all, they will mu-
tually cherish party history which
covers the lifetime of two generations
and which records achievements, con-
servative and constructive, without
parallel in the history of any political
organization in any country. 1t is a
proud record, albeit marked here and
there with extravagances and mis-
takes-truly a proud record and
worthy of reverend commendation.
Conservatives and progressiyes alike,
we think. will stand for the doctrine
that individualism shall not be over
whelmed by the gathering forces OF
socialism, and that the form and
terms of the representative system
inherited from the fathers shall not
be pushed aside by fallacious and
too literally interpreted spirit OF
democracy. They will stand for the
proposition that the industries of the
United States shall have preferen-
ltdl tIcdllueHt hOhhSotAS
ket; that no foreign power shall eth
er control our public policy or drive
American goods out of American mar
kets; that foreign trade shall be in
creased through every available
agency. including preferential reci-
procity; that the islands acquired
from Spain shall remain national
wards until their people shall be so
far advanced in education and char
acter as to be capable of self-govern-
ment; that the naval power of the
| United States shall be so maintained
as to be safeguard against sudden
attack; that all elements of our peo-
pie shall be given fair and equal
treatment under the laws with no ex-
i emptions or preferences; that there
\ shall he 90 atteupt ct papulaf 35ofe.
ment BY the giving OF maudlin and inl-
possible promises: above all that the
Constitution of the United States
shall be sustained in its integrity, sub
ject to changes or amendment only by
processes therein prescribed. For
all these things the Republican party
stands theoretically, temperament
ally, historically. There is in the
party. divided though it be, no con-
siderable element not in substantial
accord with the propositions here set
down.
