California heiress and her fourth nus
band. Prince Alexander Mishnikon,
separated. has returned 20 her roster
mother. At the time Of the separation
Of the wealthy woman and her young
husband it was reported that Mishni-
koff wished to marry the young woman
This change in the affairs OF the
three, which have been much discussed
in those places where the lights SHINE
brightest, became known yesterday,
when It was announced by close
friend Of Mrs. Gouraud, as she prefers
70 be known, that the girl had turned
on the Russian, whose constant com
panion she was last summer, and Is
once moro on friendly terms with the
woman who for many years has sup
ported her.
That she has had child by Mishni-
kof. as he alleges in his suit for its
custody. is vehemently denied by Mrs
Gouraud. It is admitted By her inti-
mates. however, that within the year
child has been added to her family roll,

Principals in Case Silent.
According to this friend, the troubles
of Mishnikofr and Mrs. Gouraud were
dine more to differences over money
matters than anything else. Mrs. Gou.
raud has several millions; Mishnikof
is not wealthy. After they parted in
the Hotel McAlpin last June the Rus
sian went to liv. in furnished rooms on
Riverside Drive, while Yvonne went to
Baroness Beckendorff, better known 10
New York as Gertrude Barrett, the
dancer. Then the Russian and fvonne
were almost inseparable companions
and were we'll known in the better
clss. tea rooms and cabarets.
Yyonne declared she did not intend
70 marry Mishnikof, but that she was
not going TO return to Mrs. Gouraud.
Instead, She had planned TO stay with
Baroness Bccktndorff indefinitely.

partment was advised to-day By Am
bassador Page that the British govern
ment would make a reply tomorrow TO
the American protest against the com
Wandering Of tho American TRANSIT

SMITHS JURY ACT

ACT PROVIDES FOR SELECTION
BY LOT FROM BOX HANDED
CLERK OF THE COURT.
OPERATIONS ARE SUSPENDED
Much Inconvenience Has Resulted
No Trouble at Last Criminal
Session.
Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge
Senator Leon r. Smiths jury act
of 1914 is proving unwieldy in the
local district court, and for the sec
ond time at this criminal session, re-
suited in suspending operations after
part OF jury had been selected.
The former custom of gathering in
extra talesmen when needed by pick.
ing up citizens on the public streets
had, in other localities, lent itself to
the uses of officers who desired to
pick a jury to suit themselves and
shortly before the legislature met
such scandalous doings had been re.
ported in several parishes. Senator
Smiths act provided for selection By
lot from box handed the clerk OF
court with the locks on.
Much inconvenience has resulted
here. There was trouble at the last
criminal session. Nine jurors were Sc
lected to try a negro, George Lewis
for shooting a fellow black The We
nire was exhausted. The box was
vl,ened and names of residents of dis
tant towns were in the majority oi
those drawn. Attorney ]. E. Densor
and Prosecutor Holcombe agreed that
only residents of Baton Rouge be
summoned.

PRES.WILSON OPPOSED
To ship COMPROMISE
REFUSES TO AGREE TO AMEND.
MENT PROPOSED BY HOUSE
TO POSTPONE ACTION.

Washington.-President Wilson re-
jected the compromise ship bill evolv-
ed by Democratic leaders of the house.
He refused to agree to the activities
of the government in the shipping
business two years after the close OF
the war.
Representing the president Post
master General Burleson made a coun-
ter proposition to the leaders. 1t was
that the house combine Senator
Cores substitute for the administra-
tion bill with bill by Senator Weeks
which already has passed the Senate
and which proposes a line of naval
auxiliaries to be used for passenger
and freight in emergencies at the dis
cretion OF the secretary of the navy.
Mr.. Burleson said the president would
not accept any amendment to destroy
the permanent character of the pro.
ject.
Democrats who had been working at
both ends of the Capitol to get the
bill in forms acceptable to both the
Senate and the House before March
were confident it could be passed IL
the amendment making it temporary
measure were attached. The counter
proposal advanced by the postmaster
general threw the whole proposition
again in the region of uncertainty.
Representative Kitchin, the house
Democratic leader-elect, declared that
he would not vote for the bill in the
form proposed, but that he had no
doubt it could pass the house. The
Democrats who favored the temporary
amendment feared a resumption of
the Republican filibuster were it not
attached.
With the White House proposal as a
new basis further negotiations went
forward.

BRITISH STEAMER
HOSTS U. s. flag
PASSENGERS SAY FLAG WAS
HOlSTED AFTER ORDUNA
LEFT LIVERPOOL.

New York.-Passengers on the Gu
nard line British steamer Orduna,
which arrived from England, said the
steamer flew the American flag nearly
twenty-four hours on January 81,
while passing through the Irish Sea-
The Stars and Stripes, they said,
were hoisted about an hour after the
Orduna left Liverpool and were not
hauled down until next day.
The Orduna was scheduled to sail
from Liverpool January 80, but did
not depart until 1:30 o'clock the next
morning. Passengers heard that the
reason for the delay was that Ger
man submarine was near. The Amer
lean flag was raised. they said, short
ly after the Orduna cleared the Mer'
sey. The steamship touched at
Queenstown the same day and was
flying the Stars and Stripes when she
entered and left the harbor, they said
The explanation the passengers re-
ceived from some of the Orduna's un-
der officers was that the flag had been
raised to protect the American citi
zens among the 240 passengers.
Chas. p. Sumner, general agent OF
the Orduna, said he was under orders
from the British admiralty not to
talk. He also denied the Orduna had
flown the American flag, except at her
foremast, which, he explained, is Gus
tomary on all ships to indicate the
country to which they are bound.

KAISER MAKES
j. S. PROPOSAL
GERMANY STANDS READY TO
CONSIDER REcEOING FROM ITS
ANNOUNCED INTENTION.
ENGLISH VESSELS ARMED
John Bull Gives instructions to His
Merchant Ships to Fire on
Submarines.

Washington.-Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, presented to the
state department a note from his gov
ernment announcing that Germany
stands ready to consider receding
from it's announced intention of at
tacking British merchantmen if Great
Britain will withdraw its efforts to
prevent foodstuffs from going to Ger
many for the civilian population.
The note declares Germany's plan
to attack British merchantmen was n
retaliatory measure adopted because
OF the alleged violation of information
al law by Great Britain in trying 10
starve the non-combatant population
Of Germany, and that the latter gov
ernment is ready to withdraw from
its purpose as expressed in the ma
val war zone decree as far as it ap-
plies to merchant vessels as soon as
Great Britain, either of its own voli.
tion or as a result of representations
from the neutral countries, expresses
her willingness to return to the usual
practices Of international law" in the
question of foodstuffs.
The German note adds that the Ber.
lin government has information that
English merchant vessels are being
armed and have orders to sail in
groups for protection, and futher that
they would try to sink submarines. II
declared that there is now no question
OF searching them, but the result
would be that German ships would
fight them because they are now held
to be warships.
