Seldom was such hocus-pocus ever seen,
even in q trial OF mixed accounts. All
passed as II the late king, an astonishing
business man. had put the genius of his
later years to the task OF Inadvertently
disinheriting his daughters In varying de-
grees, Louise especially. Yet the same
hocus-pocus would equally apply to a sue
cessful attempt to secure her a royal life
income free from the attacks OF her
creditors and the great shops OF Europe.
Wise precaution. Without going into the
complications OF the lawsuit, Wnicn Is
still pending. 1t is unlikely that the Bel
gian government considers itself more
than a moral, discretionary and secret

Fortunately. Princess Louise had shop
ping to console her. From those same
debates Of her lawsuit against Belgium
and her fathers estate It came out that
during her stay in the sanatoriums alone
the queen OF the shoppers had piled up
another four millions Of debts. And the
long-suffering husband. Phieip OF CO.
burg, paid them.
During the debates of this lawsuit
Maitre Bonnevie declared, on several oc-
casions, that King Leopold, during his
later years, had again and again offered
to pay all Of Louise's debts contracted
since her divorce, and that she refused
his conditions.
This statement made the great shop
keepers of Europe smile. They knew bet
ter than the lawyer what sums they had
received from the princess on account OF
old debts-to make new ones-not to men,
ton her cash purchases and general train
of life during the same period. Those
millions had to come to her from some
where, and they felt there could have
been but one place. her old royal fa-
theirs pocket
OF course, they were as anxious as
Louise that she should wrest from Bel
gium and the estate the mighty fortune
which the courts refuse her. But how
hope It?

If union labor wants to fully know
the Hearst outfit, why don't you in
vestigate where you can get real light
on the character of the Hearsts?
At Lead City, S. D., for instance,
where their big mines are, the great
est gold mines in the world. Fifteen
years ago was in Lead City on pro-
fessional. business, not connected
with the Homestake mines, when a
man was killed in those mines under
circumstances waTTanting a big YER
dict for his family. For just asking,
well, what was the verdict of the
corOner's jury" I was waited on and
told that they never called a coroner
when. man was killed in the Home
stake mines, but some gentlemen
were perfectly willing to call one for
my benefit if 1 opened my mouth
again.
Well, I did open my mouth and am
still alive, though repeatedly threat
ened, but finally concluded, and so
said to the workingmen at Lead City,
that they could do nothing. The
Hearst interests were the creators of
all power in Lead City and nothing
could be done against them success
fully.
Let union labor send an honest and
able man up there; let him have all
the protection needed, and when he
makes report none of the Hearsts
will ever again claim to be friends
of laboring men. Lawyer.
