Consequently German Count
Gets Divorce From Wom-
an Who Duped Him.

Berlin, April lon the ground

under the name of PUSSY Uhl,"
Count Vischler Won Treuborg has OBJ
tanned a divorce from the countess,
who is now serving fifteen months
imprisonment for fraud, blackmail,
and usury
The trial of the countess, which
concluded in December, was cause
celebre," which attracted attention
throughout Europe by reason of the
piquant revelations it gave of the
shady side of German society and the
spendthrift night life of Berlin.
Many were the noble names dragged
into the case, and it was, indeed,
suggested that two young officers Of
aristocratic families had committed
suicide through finding themselves
involved in usury through the count
ess' agency.
The charges ranged from grave 20
frivolous. Among other things she
was accused of calling a telephone
girl "saucy creature" with fraud by
mean of matrimonial agency, and
fraudulent bankruptcy. Fifty wit
nesses were cited-although they did
not all appear-including Princess
of Ysenburg-Budingen aunt of the
Princess Sophia of Saxe-W eimar, who
recently committed suicide, who was
fined for refusing to give evidence.
The countess is over forty, al
though she looks much less. The
daughter of shoemaker, at the age
of Is she had already given her par
ents trouble, and the police were in
vited to supervise her doings. A
few years later, under the name OF
PUSSY Uhl," she, was the most feted
demi-mondaine in Frankfort. Later
she removed to Hamburg, where she
easily disposed of the thousands sup
piled by successive admirers. Final
ly, gift from one of these of $4,000
enabled her to marry wealthy hotel
keeper. She appeared, however, not
very long after in the divorce court
and eventually married the count.
At the time of the trial she was said
to be living on an allowance of $50
monthly given by her first husband.
Three bottles of champagne a day
were stated to be her average con-
sumption, whiler she had particular
weaknesses for morphine, brandy
and tobacco.

Ban Johnson, acting as spokesman
for the body, said:
"In the future no players will be
allowed to write signed articles for

Swarm to Deck.

cANARIES ARE POPULAR.

The much-written-about woman
with the birdcage is still in our midst.
Uncle Sam has recently gathered
some statistics which show that the
traffic in song birds of foreign birth
was never before as large as 1t Is to-
day.
Canaries are imported in large
numbers. The number coming in dur
ing 1913 was 392,422, as compared
with 325.2S5 in 1908, which shows a
steady increase. Partridges also are
imported in considerable numbers. In
1909 the number was 29,S95. In 1911
it was 39,9S1, and in 1913, it was TO-
2S3. The importations of pheasants
will average about 5000 a year, of
quail $500 year. and of other game
birds, about 1000 a year.
The canaries on their arrival at the
seaport cities, are distributed through
out the country. The demand for
them is surprisingly steady year after
wear. While there is a good deal of
fuctuation in the importations of
quail. cartridges, pheasants, etc, there
is none in the importations OF canar-
les as the figures for the six years

ABOLISH GUARANTY LEGEND.

misleading and deceptive, and the use
of a serial number on food and drugs
is prohibited after May l, 1915. by
food inspection decision signed May .
by the secretaries of the treasury, ag-
ricuIture and commerce. The taking
effect of the new regulation is post
poned until May l, 1915. in order to
give manufacturers an opportunity to
use up their present stocks of labels.
After May /. 1915, guarantees of COM
pliance with the law should be given
by manufacturers directly TO dealers,

voice or bill of sale specifying the
goods covered This guaranty should

hulled, steel-bulkheaded ship of more
than eight thousand tons, left Mon

command of H. G.. Kendall of the
Royal Naval Reserve, one Of the most
skilled of transatlantic navigators.
Forest fires also obscured the at
mosphere and the big ship, in charge
of a pilot, proceeded slowly on her
way to sea- At midnight the pilot
aide left near Father Point, shouting
a merry "Bon Voyage" as he went
down their ladder to his waiting boat.
The darkness at this time was in

speed possible with steerageway held
