The Batthyany Black Pearl.
from the Pail Mall Gazette.

Pearl stories being tie order of the day,
one may recall the story of the precious
black pearl which Count Louis Batthyany,
the Hungarian revolutionist. had in his
scarfpin. Sentenced to death for his part
in the rising of 1S49, he gave the scarfpin
to the valet who attended him In prison.
The valet bequeathed 1t to his son, and
the son decided to sell 1t. 1t was taken
to Budapest to be valued, and there ex-
hibited Ia a jewelers. shop window.
Crowds assembled to stare at 1t, and
the suspicious of tie Austrian police
were aroused They instituted rigor-
Gus inquiry and discovered, to their
amazement, that the pearl had been
stolen from the crown of England $50
years before. The British government
bought 1t back; but no one has been able
TO discover by what means II had passed
into the possession Of the Batthyany
family.

Spencer was arrested Oct. accus

the railroad track after he had shot
her to death.
Spencer has insisted that he bt
given the death penalty. When his
trial began Monday, however, his at

such violence that Prosecutor Had.

to establish the belief that the de.
fendant was insane.
Spencer was the only witness to
take the stand for the defense. For
fifteen minutes he cursed and revil-
ed his own counsel and the states
attorney.
Spencer broke into another stream
of profanity when he heard the ver-
dict read and then tainted in his

.BETT|NCER FREED;
RULE WRIT faulty
Wealthy Clare Farmer Winner in
Federal Court Case.

Fort Dodge, Nov. 15.-Emil Bet
finger, wealthy farmer of near Clare,
was released yesterday morning
when Judge II. T. Reed in federal
court ruled that an indictment
charging lin with bringing Bertha
Ottenwalder to this country from
Germany, did not allege violation
either of the Mann white slave act
or Of the alien act.
He held the indictment to be in
sufficient on this ground, because the
word unlawful was omitted, and
directed the jury to return a verdict
for the defendant.
The act charged in the indictment
was that he brought the girl here in
1912 to maintain Illicit relations
with her.

Lieutenant Rick Makes the 414th
Aviator to be Sacrificed in
Conquering the Air.

Manila, Nov. 15.-Second Lieu.
| tenant C. Perry Rich, of the Philip
pine scouts, U. S. A., was killed yes
terday in a fall with a hydro-aero-
plane into Manila bay. Lieutenant
Rich, who was the only member of
the Philippine scouts attached to the
aviation corps here, was encircling
the Asiatic fleet, which was at an
Choir in the bay, when the accident
occurred. A launch from the torpe-
do boat Decatur was the first of
many craft to reach the scene of his
fall. His body was picked up with
life almost extinct, but it was too
late to save him.
The accident was due to a faulty
cylinder in the motor. Lieutenant
Rich discovered the defect before he
left the ground and at first decided
to abandon his flight, but he after
ward repaired the cylinder and as
cended. He had risen to a height of
200 feet and was making a prepara-
tory trip round the fleet before start
ing on his extended flight over the
vessels during which he was to at
tempt to drop bomb on one of
them, when his motor again broke
down.

White House Officials Optimistic Ov-
er Expressed At
titude.
NATIONS ARE IN TOUCH.
Two Countries Have Exchanged
Views on Mexico
Frankly.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-Sat-
isfaction over the attitude Of Great
Britain was the chief basis for a
feeling of optimism that enveloped
the Mexican situation in official cir
cles yesterday.
1t became known that there had
been the frankest interchange of
views between the United States and
England, not only through Ambas-
sador Page abroad, but in Washing
ton as we'll.
Sir Edward Tyrell, private secre-
tary to Sir Edward Grey, the Brit
ish foreign secretary during the ill
ness OF the British ambassador, Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, has been active in
getting the American viewpoint and
is believed to have been largely in
strumental in the promotion of a
friendly understanding between
London and Washington.
1t is thought also that the inter-
change of views with the United
States has been made known to the
British representative in Mexico
City.
Secretary Bryan exchanged mess
ages early yesterday with Charge
O'Shaughnessy about the reported
concessions which members of Huer-
ta's officials have intimated he would
make to the United States.
Efforts to recall John Lind from
Vera Cruz to Mexico City to discuss
the American memorandum demand
ing that the new Mexican congress
should not convene, were taken here
to indicate that the group surround
ing Huerta would suggest a COM
promise arrangement whereby the
new Mexican congress would meet
but not pass on concessions or 9TH
er measures calculated to continue
Huerta in power.
Officials were silent about the in
ner negotiations but were optimistic.
1t would not surprise official circles
here if an announcement of Huertas
intention to resign were withheld
until satisfactory arrangements
could be made for the choice of
provisional successor acceptable to
the constitutionalists.
While the United States might re-
frain from making any suggestions
Of its own, it would endeavor to act
as medium of communication
through William Bayard Hale with
General CarranZa and Charge
OShaughnessy at Mexico City. so
that there might be an exchange of
views on various names.
There was report early Yesterday
that Foreign Minister Moheno might
be the man selected, though the
views Of the constitutionalist as to
Moheno's acceptability were not
known.

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. IA
department of recreation to combat
the evil influences of the dance halls
in all cities; federal laws governing
divorces and marriages of an inter-
state nature; congress Of newspa-
per men to discuss methods of gov
erning the dissemination of news
relative to the white slave traffic,
were among the recommendations
offered by Clifford G. Roe of Chicago
in an address before the Internation-
al Purity congress, which closed here
last night. Mr.. Roe is the president
of the American Bureau Of Moral Ed
ucation, and was appointed a dele
gate to the congress by Secretary of
State William Jennings Bryan, by
authority of a joint resolution of the
federal congress.
The subject of Mr.. Roe's address
was "White Slavery and the Best
Methods of Dealing with the Evil"
"The term white slavery has
broadened greatly in recent years" I"
he said. 'In the past, efforts to deal
with the social evil problem were
largely regulative. Within the last
seven years new method of dealing
with it has been adopted.
"A scientific study has brought
about the adoption of the attitude of
constant repression as the immediate
method and absolute suppression of
cOmmercialiZed vice as the ultimate
ideal.
Neglect by parents in bringing
up their daughters is big factor in
the making of white slaves. Mothers
are often too busy attending clubs,
theaters and card parties to find time
to spend upon their children. Faith
ers have a keener interest in their
properties than they have for the
welfare of their daughters. They let
their children grow up like the weeds
in the prairie, to care for and look
after themselves.
"Girls who are brought up under
such influences are easy prey for the
white slave procurers."
Among the causes of white slavery
were enumerated:
Ignorance on the part of the pub
lie, the parents and the children.
Double standard of morals.
"Hasty marriages and divorces.
Love of fine clothes and suggest
i've fashions.
"The spirit of adventure and ro-
nance"
Discussing some of the economic
causes he gave the following:
"The deferring of marriage be-
cause men cannot afford to marry.
"Competition of girls and women
who do not need to work and who
help lower wages. Wages are regu-
lated by supply and demand.
Employment of young girls who
practically lose the home care and
training of Mothers
The absolute elimination of the
vice districts and a single standard
of morality for men and women were
urged.

attorney of Milwaukee, made a plea

gated vice district, urging long term
