HARDsH1ps OF TRAVELLER.

Gustav A. Fudickar, of Los Angeles, California, has arrived in London af- ter escaping from the clutches of the law officers of the German Ernpe- TOT. As the res1lt of his experience in Berlin, MT. Fudickar will make a pro- test to the State Department at Washington against a German law which has caused a number of Amer jean tourists to get into difficulties with the authorities.
 The California traveller was nego- tiating for the purchase of some dia- mond earrings for his wife in Berlin. He was told that he could have the stones he wanted for 11,OOO marks, C$2,75O), and an expert assured him that he was getting a bargain. He told the owner of the stones that if he decided to take them he would have to await the receipt of further funds from home. In the meantime he looked at the diamonds again, and became convinced that a poorer quail ity had been substituted.
 The next morning the jewellers as- sistant called at MT. Fudickar's hotel and asked for a deposit on the gems. The American told him he had decid- ed not to take them. The assistant then reappeared with an attachment against MT. F'udickar's baggage. This, however, was not levied, and the American by quick work succeeded also Tn 1ruSLraC1nS an attempt to at- tach his cash deposit in a local bank.
 At the American consulate MT. Flu dickar was informed that his only remedy was a suit in the civil courts,t which might drag for three years. The Californian decided to brush the dust of Berlin from his feet, but before leaving he learned that many other Americans have suffered similar treat ment in Berlin, some of them losing heavily. The law permits a mer- chant to force payment on his swear ing that a. customer has promised to take certain goods, and the victim has no redress except suit to recover la ter, for he is not given an opportun- fly to answer the accusation.

Baroness Bereft Of
 Friends And Fortune
 Takes Her Own Life

Paris April 3.-Baroness de How en, bereft of family and friends, spent her last sou for bread, and then quietly committed suicide. She left a, note for the police saying:
 s'One has a right to die at eighty, when one has no kin, no friends, and when one can no longer live"
 Inquiries disclosed that the old lady had lived for a generation in a little room on the ground floor, with a win dow looking out on the avenue Wag- ram, in the wealthy Etoile quarter of Paris. Through the always open case ment the neighbors were accustomed to see her busy in the morning with household work; in the afternoon her habit was to sit at her table read ing. She seemed very old, but she had retained something of her youth full figure, and she carried her head with it's crown of white hair with grace. The neighbors were all agreed that she had been 'some- body" although no one know her title What puzzled passersby was to see on a. chair near the window a wreath of artificial flowers. She had kept them all the years for her death.
 The Baroness was the daughter of man rich and distinguished in the first quarter of the 18th century. When ruin came upon her family she took the little money left and allotted 1t to her weekly expenses, calculating that it would last a lifetime. But she lived some years beyond her expecta- tions, and foreseeing this she began severe economies. In order to eat she gave up dressing suitably, and for years never went out of doors. She had no debts, and her last copper piece had gone for 8 roll the night before she killed herself

Grand Duke Andreas Tells Story At The
 Expense Of Duchess
NewSy Notes Flashed by Cable from LOndOn-Pranks of
 SuffragetteS

London, May 3.-Grand Duke An dreas, first cousin of the Emperor of Russia, on his way home from a visit to Switzerland, tells a good story of how the Grand Duchess was deprived of her favorite breakfast. dish at a hotel because of the liking of little English girl for broi1ed bacon.
 The Grand DucaI party had a. suite of rooms in a well known hotel at St. Moritz. An American lady, accom- panied by a nine-year-old English girl, arrived at the hotel only to find that there was no room for them. The Grand Duke noticed their predic- ament and vely courteously offered a spare room in his suite. This room was next to the bedroom occupied by the Grand Duchess. In the corridor outside a sentinel was constantly on duty, so when every morning the breakfast bacon, left on a table out side her door. disappeared, a mys- tery was created which enraged the Duchess and drove the manager of the hotel almost mad with despair.
 Finally the American lady heard of the trouble, and she recalled that every morning her charge had asked permission to play in the corridor. She watched the girl unobserved from the doorway the next morning, and was amazed to see her snatch the bacon and conceal it under her coat while the sentry was making his military march up the corridor.
 When confronted the little girl ex- plained that she liked bacon, but said she had always hAen careful to leave some fat for the Duchess. Her Amer ican guardian was overcome with em- barrasSment but the Grand Ducal par ty took the matter as a, huge joke, and the Grand Duke expressed his forgive ness by taking the little girl coastfng.

AMERICANS SEEK RICHES.

The American embassy has been so overwhelmed lately by requests from America by heirs who believe that very in England, that it has become necessary to adopt a printed form for the replies to these communications.
 The only thing the embassy is per mitted to do in the matter is to sug- gest 8 competent legal adviser to i'm vestigate the case. It cannot itself conduct Investigations. It does, how ever, tell iiquirers that there are no large unclaimed estates in Great Brit ain. The vast sums constantly spok- en of as dormant in Chancery or awaiting claimants in the Bank of England are purely imaginary and, ac- cordfng to the embassy, are too often the invention of swind1ers who obtain money for the prosecution of fictitious claims to/these fictitious fortunes.
 The funds in Chancery open to claim are few, and average less than 1900 each, two only approaching $75,0OO. Most of them would con- sume their own value in the cost of recovery. The fullest proof of gen ea1ogy is demanded, and the lack of data in the United States for this pur- pose makes the process very expen- sive. Furthermore, as the passage of twenty years and som etimes less bars recovery under the English stat utes of limitations, the chance of picking up an estate in Chancery is ex- ,ceedingIy small.

art on display.
 It was King George III, who, back in 1787, founded the institution now known as the London Season That monarch was not distinguished for the keenness of his intellect, and SO it was only natural that he chose to open the Season in January, when London weather is at it's worst. Queen Vic toria changed the date to the first of May, and gradually, for no known reason, the Royal Academy private view came to be the real opening func- ton. With the exception of not be- ing private, and of affording no op- portunities for a vie~, the affair is well named.
 The Royal Academyss real private view was held on Wednesday, when the great galleries were open only to the Pressmen. After the newspaper critics have looked their fill, m em bers of the royal family are admitted. Next comes the Royal Academy banquet, on Friday night, and then on Saturday peers, artists, American miIlionaires, celebrities of all sorts, rub shoulders at the private view. The artists look at the pictures of other artists, and sniff; and the ladies look at the cos tunes of other ladies, and also sniff.
 The London Season beginning to- day will continue through May, June and most of July, when the social elect will begin to scatter, some to the con- ttnent, others to their shootings. in the North. The merchants of Picca- dilly, Bond and Regent streets, the proprietors of fashionable hotels, and the owners of houses to be let for the season., reap rich reward during the three months of the Season. It s becoming more and more necessary for rich Americans to go to London for the Season, if they wish to hold or gain a place in society, and by their lavish expenditures they support small army of EngIishmen.

pIete his dressing, MT. Bodkin flung on an overcoat and was driven at high speed through the deserted streets from his home in the edge of London to the Temple. Arrived there he found everything peaceful and dark. The prosecutor had little doubt as to what agency to attribute the hoax, but he was doub1y convinced when, as he c1irnbe into his car for the drive home, he heard a mocking feminine voice from the direction of the Embankment cry, Votes for Wo- men,"
 The next day Bodkin made his ad- dress to the jury in the Pankhurst, and some of the severity of his de- nunciation of the suffragette tactics has been attributed to his early morn ing visit to his offices.

SUFFRAGETTE HOAXEs.

The militant suffragettes may burn vacant buildings and destroy golf greens, and the interest of the general public is indirect and often passive. A method of more real annoyance was wanted, som etlniEg that would reach certain individuals with particular se- verity, and a series of hoaxes was de- vised. These vary with the circum- stances of the case, but a practical joke played Prosecutor Bodkin is typical.
 MT. Bodkfn has conducted the case for the government at many of the suffragette trials. He it was who pro- ceeded against Mrs. Pankhurst in the midst of this trial he was called from his bed at three o'clock one morning by a telegram which stated that his offices in the Temple were burning.

The first English settlement in Ja- rnaica was established in 1855, the English Admiral Penn, aided by a land force commanded by Venables, having wrested the island from the Spanish in that year, just 25S years ago to-day, on the anniversary of the discovery of the island by Columbus, May 3, 149z- Under the Spanish re- zEime, and to some extent afterward, Jamaica was a resort for pirates, and many of the famous buccaneers of the past had their headquarters there. In 1892 the island was visited by one of the most terrible earthquakes in all history, and the city of Port Royal was utterly destroyed Kingston was founded in the following year, and has since been the capital anG metropolis of the island In 1TS2 the city was almost destroyed by fire, and in 1915 the entire island was deIuged by a tremendous hurricane, and over a thousand persons drowned. Negro dnsurrections afterward convulsed the island. Ten years ago another de- structive hurricane ravaged the island and in 1907 Kingston and other towns were almost wiped out by an earthquake.

With such proVerbia1 phi1osophic ob- servations as these Baron Armstrong; formerly called the English Carne- gie" and the British Krupp,'' must console himself on this. his fftieth anniversary, for he has not only lost his fortune, but has son and heir who is a socialist of the syndicalist variety. Once one of the richest men of England, with a large interest in the great steel and shipbuiIdfng works at Elswick, England, founded by his great uncle, Baron Armstrong of Cragside, Lord Armstrong is now one of the poorest of titled English men. Unfortunate speculations lost him not only his iron works holdings, but he was forced to dispose of his art gallery, furniture, carriages, auto mobiles and other personal belongings to satisfy his creditors. On top of this misfortune, his son and heir, Hon. William John Mantagu Armstrong, a ambridge student, has recently gain ed notoriety by voicing the most rad ical and revolutionary views about the relations of capital and labor Perhaps the loss of his fathers for tune has had something to do with the young mans bitterness toward the wealthy. In the course of an inter- view young Armstrong recently said:
 My father is broad-minded, though not a socialist like me. He always cHdNelS IliFo c4dSS III a Lraln, and en- joys the siN-penny cinema shows in London quite as much as a stall at the theatre"
 The youthful preacher of social rev. olution then asked:
 What excuse is there for coal company that makes a, forty per ceit. dividend, or for the large Elswick div idends, running into double figures %
 No excuse whatever, I take it, es- pecially since the ElsWfck dividends no longer go into the pockets of the Arnstrongs.
 Baron Armstrong was born just half a century ago to-day, May 3, 1863, and married a daughter of the late Sir John Adye. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where his son is now a socialistic leader.
