RAVARIAN ROYALTY.

Tomorrow will be the sixty-eighth anniversary of the birth of Otto, the unfortunate Bayarian monarch, who was stricken with madness soon after his accession to the throne 30 years ago. Otto succeeded his brother, Lud- wig H., who drowned himself in Starnbergl Lake as the result of a sud- den 1t of insanity, in 1886. Soon after that Otto began to show marked signs of the mental weakness which is so prevalent in the Bavarian royal fam fly, and was shut up in castle, while his uncle, Prince Luitpold. was made regent. On the death of the latter the present monarch, King Louis III; sue ceeded as regent, and in. 1913 he was elevated to full kingship, a change in the constitution having made it possi- ble to depose the mad ruler. The pres ent King of Bavaria, married an Aus trian archduchess and has six daugh- ters and three sons. His eldest son, Crown Prince Rupert is AT years old and is one of the important command CTS of the Kaiser's armies. The Ba- Varian Crown Prince has manifested greater military genius than any of the Emperor's sons, and is a popular hero throughout the Central Empires. Princel Rupert married a cousin, who died in 1912. leaving him two sons. The eldest is Prince Luitpold, who is 15. The Queen of Belgium is a Ma varian princess, but she has refused to hold any communication, with the members of her family since the out break of the war, and has publicly de- clared that she will never forgive them. The 7Bavarian royal clan dates back to the twelfth century, and it's princes and kings have been noted for genius and insanity. A sister of King Louis is the abbess Of a convent and noted for her learning, being a doctor of philosophy and a member of the Academy of Sciences

IDENTIFY WOMAN
 FATALLY BEATEN
 IN BOOMING HOUSE

New Haven, April 26-The woman who was fatally beaten while in a roorning house here Sunday, is be- lieved by Coroner Eli Mix to have been Mrs Anna Costello. aged about 25, of 213 One Hundred and Third street, (either East or West). New York City. The coroner based his opinion upon the fact that the police have been told that a, Mrs. Costello left that address Sunday morning and the next afternoon a postal card was received there with these words, not in the woman's handwriting. on it:
 TT have eloped."
 Coroner Mix says that the medical examiner reports that the woman was terribly beaten over the head with a blunt instrument and died from the effects of the blows.
 The case has puzzled the police and coroner since their attention was. call ed to it on Monday.
 An inquiry was begun as soon as the police were notified. They found that a man in the case had gone to the railroad station after leaving the house and bought a ticket for Spring field, Mass. There was no baggage and the only article of clothing among the woman's effects which might serve to identity her was a striped under shirt such as used in institutions. The medical examiner said that the blood srnears and splashes on furniture, clothing, and articles in the room were di1e to the woman wandering about in her delirium.

CORONER CLEARS
 YOUNG DRIVER IN
 DOUBLE TRAGEDY

New Haven. April 26-Giving his reason for discharging Leonard Joy, driver of the automobile which was wrecked atzsDead Mans Curve in HIamden, early yesterday in which Mrs. Clara Huct and Lawrence Hayes were killed, Coroner Mix said today:
 t'1 found that Joy had been pro- testing to Musnitsl<y, the owner Of the machine, for some time about it's con- dition, asking for new. braking equip nent. The owner, according to Joy, had been promising to give him a new machine to drive. Joy is only 19 and he had never been over the road be- fore. He claimed to be using care but was not familiar with conditions at the bridge into the abutment of which he crashed. As to the passen- gers who escaped I feel that if there was case there it was a civil one against the owner of the machine. As the latter was not the driver I was not able to hold him criminaIly responsi- ble.'

ROBERT HERRICK, 2ND.

Robert Herrick, the seventeenth century English bard whose 1,Soo poems are of such a quality as to give him rank among the greatest of pas toraI wrists, no longer has monopoly of his name. Another Robert HeFrick has gained a. permanent place in lit erary annals, although he writes prose fiction instead of verse. The twen- tieth century Robert Herriclx was born in Cambridge, Mass. 48 years ago to- day, April 26, 1868; and after grad uating from Harvard was made in structor of rhetoric at Massachusetts Pathological Institute. In 1898 he Joined the faculty of the University of Chicago and became professor or English in 1905. It was some 20 years ago that he ''broke into the literary game with tsThe Man Who Wins, !" and Literary Love Letters. and Other Stories Several other volumes fol- lowed. and esThe Common Lot, pulp fished in 1904. gave him a widespread celebrity In 1908 his .sTogether'' created a sensation, as he depicted rnatrirnony as ktate of quivering nerves and tragic futility. Professor Herrick has been very severe in his criticism of American women, and especially Of wives.
 In spite of his tendency toward dar- ing in his intimate studies of Arneri- can domestic life, the Chicago novelist 1 indignantly denies that he is in any way to be connected with that school Of modern writers who deal with sex because it is profitable. He is a real ist, he declares, but that does not mean that realism is solely pr largely con cerned with those subjects which our l grand ndparents looked upon as taboo.
 Our Ang1o-Saxon prudery kept all mention of sex relations out of our ffctfon for many years, said Prof. 1 Herrick in a recent interview Among comparatively modern novelists the realists were the first to break the lshack1es of this convention, and write frankly of sex. And from this it has come n,ost unfortunafe.ez, that real ism and ro1nosrap.ly are often con- fused by nove1ists and critics as well as by the public. Undoubtedly there are many writers who believe that they are realists because they write about nothing but sex. I wish our writers would pay less attention to the direct manifestations of sex and more to it's indirect influence, to the ways in which it affects all phases of ac- tivity.''

MEXICAN PLANTS TO REOPEN SOON, OWNERS DECLARE
American Firms, Believing Situation Brighter, To
 Resume Work.

Fl Paso, April 26-As an indication of their confidence that serious trou- ble will be avoided between the Unit ed States and Mexico, three important American concerns made preparations today to re-open their plants in north ern Mexico.
 The A1varado Mining Co.,, operating near ParraI, the Compania Agricola, with a plant at LaBouquiIla, and the National Mines & Shelter Co.,, with headquarters at Magistral, have ar ranged to send 40 mine operators into Mexico next Monday. These men have been given permission by the de facto government to carry guns and against the rowing bands who still in- fest Chihuahua.
 There is considerable confidence among an important element of the people here in General Obregon. The restraint shown by the people of northernS Chihuahua over the entry of American troops into Mexico is be- lteved to be largely due to the in fiuence Of Carranza. H is pointed out that General Gaviera, command CT at Juarez, is personal appofntee of General Obregon and that his con- stant and successful efforts to avoid friction with this country are un- quest1onably a renecrlon or the 6klli of his military ability.
 The conference between Obregon and General Scott is awaited with much interest.
 Columbus, N. M, April 26.-An along the strengthened line of conmunica- ton from Namiquipa to Columbus the American expeditionary forces are awaiting the outcome of the confer ence of Generals Scott and Funston with General Alvaro Obregon, Mexi- can minister of war, according to re- ports here today.
 New reports of sniping were brought here today, it being asserted that an American trooper sitting in front of-a tent in a small camp near Satevo suf- feped a bullet wound in the jaw. An encounter between Lieutenant Alden M. Graham and Villa captain at a point below Namiquipa also was re- ported. Lieutenant Graham killed the bandit and brought his cap. burdened with seven pounds of silver lace, into the American camp.
