BELIEVE DEAD PRINCE
is PRESIDENT WILSON
Rural Population Of Lower Austria
and Styria "Sure" Rudolph
Was Not Murdered.

The Vienna Bulletin, an Austrian
news and propaganda service with
headquarters at Rotterdam, sends out
the following curious story:
According to the Neue Wiener
Journal. a serious newspaper, the
rural al.population of large districts of
the provinces Of lower Austria and
Styria never believed in the death OF
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria
who was assassinated in the castle of
Meyerling near Baden together with
Countess Necscera in 1889. The peo-
pie refused to accept this official
statement, and their suspicion was
nourished at the time by the fact that
the coffin of the crown prince at the
funeral was extremely small, while
the crown prince himself was pow
erful man.
The story went that the crown
prince had really not been murdered
at all, but that he had fed across the
big pond.
Ever since the war there is a grow
ing belief among the rural population
that the crown prince. who, as will
be remembered. was addicted to scien-
tine researches. is identical with Prof
United States Of America
The remarkable thing is that there
is an evident optimism as to the fu
ture of Austria connected with this
legend. for the people say it is plain
that Wilson, being in reality Crown
Prince Rudolph. will not let his be.
loved Austria perish. 1t may not be
surprising IL at the coming election
for the national assembly Presideu,
Wilson will be nominated by the
country people of lower Austria and
Styria as principal candidate and land
as the fifst president of the German
Austrian republic"

NO w. R. & E. BRIEF
FILED IN LABOR DISPUTE
War Board Cannot Make Decision
Until Company Has Acted
Under Usual Rule.

Failure on the part Of the company
50 far to file brief has occasioned
delay in the decision by the War
Labor Board in connection with the
dispute between the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and
it's men. Joint Chairman Manly said
there is probably a misunderstanding
should first file one.
1t is customary in disputes OF this
kind for each: party to the contro-
versy to prepare a brief; The men
appear to be ready with their written
argument, but the company, Mr.. Man
ly said, has not indicated when it
will be prepared in that respect.
We expected to reach a decision
some days ago." said Mr.. Manly, but
we are waiting for the parties con-
cerned to act.s
The situation is a little complicated
by the brief Of w. NICK. Clayton which
of whether in disputes between public
utility corporations and their men the
public should be made a party to the
controversies.
In some quarters it is thought the
board will go out of existence before
an opportunity is afforded to decide
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company controversy. Mr.. Manly was
asked IL he had any comment to make
he had placed his resignation in the
hands of Secretary of Labor Wilson.
He would neither affirm nor deny the
story.
II have not a word to say about it."
Mr.. Manly said.
