A[BbN|ANs KICK
BOUT new RULER
INSURGENTS THOUGH BEATEN,
INSIST THEY WILL NOT HAVE
OUTSIDER FOR KING.

Vienna, June s.-Albanian govern
ment troops today completely routed a
force of five thousand insurgents in
the vicinity of Tirana, east of Durazzo
according to dispatch from the Al.
banian capital. The insurgents after
a recent victory over the government
troops had threatened to advance on
the capital.
Although the insurgents declare
themselves ready to submit to most of
the demands of the international COM
mission in regard to the future of Al
bania, they steadfastly refuse to rec
ognize Prince William of Wied, as
their ruler and demand the nom1na-
ton Of Moslem prince. Most of
them favor Essad Pasha, former min
lister of war, who was recently deport-
ed and went to Italy.

KING AND QUEEN
WILL. be ANNOYED
SUFFRAGETTEs WORKING TO
KEEP THEIR CAUSE BEFORE
THE EYES OF RULERS.

London, June S.-Another demon
stration by militant suffragette in
the presence of King George and
Queen Mary occurred at the Interna,
tional horse show at Olympia this
afternoon. Their majesties had hardly
sat down when a young woman rose
in the stalls opposite and screamed
denunciations Of forcible feeding OF
suffragette prisoners. The police
pounced upon him Immediately, but
her election from the building was ef-
fected only after a fierce struggle.
3"No peace for King George or Queen
Mary" is the latest order given out
by the headquarters staff of the mill
tant suffragettes and their followers
now allow few appearances of their
majesties in public to pass without
some kind of demonstration.

NURSE EMPLOYED BY GRAND
OPERA STAR Is CHIEF WITNESS
IN BIG DIVORCE CASE.

Chicago, June 8.-More impassioned
letters addressed to Mrs. Catherine
Dean and alleged to have been writ.
ten by William Rapp, who Is being
sued for divorce by Nine. Schumann'
troduced In Judge Sullivan's court to
day. There WAS . bit Of comedy be
tween the lines. Under date Of
August /, 1918, the writer Of th0 let
ters said: II wrote you Friday, Sat
urday, Sunday. Monday did not
write as had conferences all day till
late at night. Tuesday and Wednes.
day wrote again. Yesterday | wait
ed all day for a letter from you and
was discouraged at not hearing from
you''
The reason the writer did not hear
frcm Mrs. Deon was in court in the
person of Miss Frances j. Ashton, a
nurse employed as a detective by coun-
sci for Nine Schumann-Heink. She
was the first witness of the day and
testified that she rOomed with Mrs.
Dean from time to time during 1918
and intercepted considerable number
of Rapp's letters.
It was said that ten more of the
Rapp-Dean letters would be identified
by Miss Ashton.
Have Counter Charge.
Ben M. Smith, chief of counsel for
the defendant declared that he would
center his defense on the allegation
that the singer is not resident Of III
inois and therefore not entitled to sue
for divorce in the Illinois courts. He
added that he would prove Rapp's
counter charge of infidelity against the
songstress by the evidence Of the de-
tense. If successful in this, he said,
there would be no necessity for contro-
verting the letters placed in evidence
in behalf OF the 7rima donna.
In the letter OF August I, 1913, Mrs.
Dean is addressed as "My Darling,
Wonderful Girl" It went on:
without you it is awful. Just now
when l require that quick wit Of yours
the most, must forego it. That is
honest, grille, and you know that my
unbounded admiration for your ability
is true. You are the one and only
little woman for me, who can keep me
true and straight and who can bring
out the best In me-"
The epistle mentions Mrs. De
Shoth, woman who, the writer says
gave him the idea ""of coming to Chi
cago and confronting the madame d.
rect. She gave me considerable in
formation about her"
The letter was signed "Your Billie"
and concludes with the statement that
what money the writer has lis yours. +"
Nine. Schumann-H Heink garbed In a
small tailored suit and wearing the
little black hat by which the <pecta-
tors have learned to pick her out in
the crowd inside the railing, listened
intently to the seading Of the letters.
Letters written August and August
8 we're read. A missive dated Sept. s..
was sent In care Of Mark Harrison, the
actor who roomed at Mrs. Deans apart
ment, to avoid interception

FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT TAKES
SLAP At THE SOC|Au|S7|C IDEA
Explains Reason
for Failure of
RdppHe Colony

New Harmony. Ind. June 8.
Former President Taft in his
address said the Rappite ex-
pertinent at New Harmony fail
ed "as all socialism must fail,
because 1t found no substitute
for the motive essential to
arouse and make constant hu-
man effort that is furnished by
the institution of private prop
erty and the shaping Of reward
by competition and natural
economic adjustment.
THE plan was based on the
assumption that man was a diff
ferent being from what he is. If
hewere SO perfect that his love
of human kind would Danish
from every one IN human form
selfishness and retain In him
the same energy, self-sacrifice
and industry in behalf of others
that he now manifests in behalf
of himself and those near to
him, then there would be no
need for the organization of the
socialistic community, because
we would have 1t at hand. Un-
til men are perfect beings Of
this kind, socialism must
either constitute a tyranny so
rigid as to destroy not only the
right of liberty and to inter
fere with the pursuit of happi-
ness, or it must be failure"
In conclusion Mr.. Taft spoke
of the danger Of destroying
what we have that Is good In
society and that has been test
ed by time, in order to seek
millennium which IN dst rest for
it's successful achievement on
the elimination of all the ele-
ments Of human nature as we
know it and are forming Of 1t
that is possible only after hun
dreds of centuries"

CRISIS PASSED
WHEN DICTATOR
RESC|NDS plan
Huerta Gives Up Intention
Of Blockading Tampico
With War Vessels
WAR MUNITIONS OF
REBELS ARE SAFE
Cuban Steamer to Be Per-
mitted to Enter Port and
Discharge Her Cargo

Washington, D. c., June s.-Huerta
has decided after all not to blockade
Tampico and force the hand of the
United States with the possibility OF
disrupting the mediation proceedings
at Niagara Falls. Mr.. Riano, the
Spanish ambassador, notified Secre.
tary Bryan offlcially to that effect
today.
This step was taken upon the gov.
ernment learning that the mediators
at Niagara Falls were taking some &C
tion In regard to the movements of the
sailed from an American port with
arms for the constitutionalists and also
to prevent setback in the peace
negotiations.
1t was oflcially stated that the Mexi-
can government in ordering the block
ade of Tampico had no intention of
interfering with commercial traffic.
It's intention was only to prevent the
constitutionalists from receiving arms
and ammunition.
Thus, the latest crisis in the Mexi-
can situation fraught with possibili-
ties of renewed hostilities between
Huerta and the United States passed
over.
Decision Is Relief.
What actuated Huerta in backing
down does not appear In the sbrisf ad-
vices which reached Washington. I'm
ofiicial reports that the dictator had
decided at the last moment to rescind
his order Of blockade had reached un-
Official sources which have been in
very close touch with the situation,
about the same time Mr.. Riano was
notifying Secretary Bryan. Instantly
there was an evidence Of relief Of the
tension Of the last three days along
the line in Official circles.
There were broad intimations here
that the influence which had caused
Huerta to rescind his order had gone
to Mexico City all the way from
Niagara Falls, where, it was said. the
mediators and the Mexican delegates
had been urging him in the strongest
possible terms to withdraw his posi-
tion and let the mediation proceed.
It did not appear here that Huerta's
change of position had been contingent
upon any change of plans for the
cargo Of the steamer Antilla steam
ing for Tampico with arms for the con-
IL unO UcOA ou6SSoIOu
that possible pressure upon the owners
Of the ship might cause them to
divert her.
Clash 10 Avoided.
One thing however, was plain.
President Wilson was determined that
Tampico should be kept open to the
commerce of the world and the Ameri-
can ships under Rear Admiral Mayo
were In evident readiness to enforce
1t. Whether the Antilla's war cargo
would have been considered as COM
merce had the situation come to the
point Of break, all officials here de-
cline to say.
The gunboats Zaragoza and Bravo
should have arrived at Tampico about
five o'clock this morning. Followed
by the United States ships Sacramento
and Tacoma they passed Vera Cruz
yesterday In the absence Of any new
report today Secretary Daniels wire
lessed Rear Admiral Badger for a re-
port on their position. The possibility
that Huerta's decision not to blockade
the port may have diverted them, was
taken into the reckoning here.
