HOW CONGRESS- OF VIENNA
FETT,ERED FREE MA TIONS
Intimate and Vivid accounts Of Intgues Set Don Conem
poraneously by Participants-Its Relation to
Versailles Conference

Austria and Prussia and formed an
alliance of defense against Russia and
Prussia with Austria, England and
Bavaria. Lord Castereagh Oater Mar
quis of londonderry and the Duke of
Wellington represented England. The
astute and cunning Metternich was the
Austrian representative and the Chan
cellor, Won Hardenberg. and Wilhelm
Won Humboldt were the Prusslan spokes-
men.
These were the men who 104 years ago
forged the fetters of the small nations
which today are knocking at the gates of
Versailles for liberation, These were
the men who parceled out, without con-
sent of or even consultation with. the
governed, millions Of men, leagues OF
land. to rulers under the doctrine of
divine right" Their Vaccinations, in
trgues and callous disregard of ma
tionalistic rights and racial conscious
ness planted the seeds which had their
harvest Of death in the world war just
ended. For the roots of the war go back
to the congress of Vienna. Here
Prussia laid the foundation for the mill
tary domination of Germany which made
possible an unprecedented disturbance OF
the peace Of the world. Here the misery
Of Poland, the victim of partition after
partition, was unheeded Here the rising
tide of liberalism in the new German
confederacy was swept back. Here Bour-
bonism, eliminated from France. even
at the horrible cost of the Reign of
Terror, was restored TO throne Here
iapsburg rule was set over Italian
states that had TO bleed half n century
longer before they attained unity.
The book contains an admirably
written foreword section devoted to
The Lighter Side of the Congress-" the
soirees and salons which were hotbcds
OF intriguing politics. and section, Be
hind the Scenes of the Congress" which
gives amazing details of heartIess
policies and constituencies plots. There
pass in review such figures as Harden
berg, Wellington. Admiral Sir Sidney
Smith. Cent?, Dalberg. the Prince de
i.igne, Count de Ia Garde, Frederick Will
nam of Prussia Francis of Austria,
Lord Stewart. Marie Louise and Ma
poleon's son, the young King Of Rome :
the fascinating Countess Xichy, Arch
duke John of Austria and most of the
princes and princesses. dukes and
barons and crafty statesmen of an age
the influence OF which survived even
down TO our own time. Much of the
account is in their own words

WOULD DUST GOULD
 AS ESTATE EXECUTOR

NEW YORK, May S.-The heirs Of Jay Gould, the railroad financier, who accumulated one of Anerica's great est private fortunes, are in Q quarrel over the administration of the SS3, ,000,- 900 estate he left them. His son, George J. Gould, chief executor of the estate, is required by a state supreme court order, signed tday, to show cause why he should not be removed. Gould is charged with frauds ''perpetrated by him even on his own brothers and sisters" and which resulted in an az gregate loss to the estate of S25,000 0O0," in affidavits filed in the supreme court by his brother, Frank J. Gould; his sister, the Duchess de Talleyrand, formerly Anna Gould; Countess de Castellane, and the guardians of q number of the Gould children of the third generation.
 In answering, George Gould denies the charges and is supported by a deposition made by Mrs. Helen Gould Shepard. his sister, formerly Miss Helen Miller Gould. Mrs. Shepard de- clares that the charges are inaccurate and distinctly misleading
 The affidavits were filed in connec- ton with a petition by Frank Gould and his associates to have George Gould removed as executor of the es- tate. He was appointed under the will of his father, who died in December, 1892, and who bequeathed him $500, ,000 in cash and S4,500, 900 in securities, as a reward for his services. This was in addition to a sixth share of the main estate which was vested in trust fund for the benefit Of his six children.

PARK CITY STRIKE
 NAY FLOOD MINES

PARK CITY. Utah. May S.-The Ontario Silver Mining company and Daily West mines here are rapidly fill ing with water. the pumps having been pulled" early this morning, as the result of the strike of approximate ly 1000 miners of the camp. The pumps were stopped after meeting which ended at midnight, at which the miners refused to entertain proposal to arbitrate their differences with the mine owners.
 The miners are striking for a 6-hour day, a wage of $5.50 and for two men on all machines.
 Continuation of idleness by the pumps means the virtual destruction of two of the oldest and most valuable properties in the Park City district. It is said the Daly West property can not be flooded above a certain level, gravity carrying the water off through a tunnel.
 Industrial Workers of the World agi- tators are said to be behind the strike of miners, speeches made by men said to be members of the 1. W. W. at a meeting last night, indicating that that element is in control of the strike situ- alton here.

SENATOR HUMBERT |s
 FOUND NUT TRAITOR

PARIS, May S.-By the Associated Press).-Senator Hnmbert, who has been on trial by courtInartial on charge of having had dealings with the enemy, was acquitted today.
 Captain Georges Jile Ladour. former chief of the intelligence bureau of the ministry of war, a co-defendant with Humbert, was acquitted. Pierre Lenoir. still another of the co-defendants, was sentenced to death, while William De souches was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison
 Charles Humbert, senator and former editor of Le Journal, was arrested in February of last year, during the trial of Bolo Pasha, who was put to death for treason. and the directors of the Germanophile newspaper, Bonn e | Rouge. Bolo, it was brought out, had bought an interest in Le Journal, with money that came from the German for eign office through banking houses in New York.
 Proceedings were begun last March against Captain Ladoux in connection with the Bolo Pasha and Bonnet Rouge cases.
 Lenoir was accused with trading with the enemy. When arrested his case was placed, in importance to the government, higher than that against Bolo Pasha. He was a Parisian capi- talist and with Desouches bought Le Journal in 1915 for 100000 francs and later sold it to Hunbert- The money was declared to have come from a German source.
 DesoucheS. although nearly 60 years of age, fought with the French before Verdun. The prosecutor. in presenting the case against him, said Desouches knew that the money with which Le- noir bought Le Joprnal was German, but that the defendants record at the front as a volunteer liaison officer might permit the court to tighten his sentence on conviction

J. 5. WHEAT CROP
 UNPRECEDENTED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. May S.-The great est crop of winter wheat ever produced in any country is in prospect for this years harvest. Today's forecast of production, estimated by the depart ment of agriculture, placed its size at almost 9o0,000,000 bushels-in exact figures Ss9, .00o-which would make this years harvest worth g ,034, ,o00, 900 at the governments price guarantee of S226 a bushel.
 Kansas is producing an enormous crop, the forecast of production for that state being almost g percent of the country's total indicated output. Hi nois has forecast of nearly 66,000, 900 bushels; Indiana about 56,000, 900; Ohio 55, 5,000, 900 and Oklahoma slightly more than 54,000,000.
 The acreage is the largest on record and the area bounded from winter kill ing, overflows and other causes is ex- tremely low, II percent. Growing con ditions have been splendid and the crop from April l to May 1 made an improvement, bringing it to 1905 per cent of normal, which is the highest condition on record for May l. Con tinued good growing conditions, from now to time of harvest, might result 1 in a crop larger than soc, ,00o, 900 l bushels.

 FROM THE CANADIANS
CRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, May S.-Julius Barnes, United States wheat director, an nounced tonight on his return from Chicago that he had completed nego- tiations to bring 100000 bushels of Canadian wheat into the United States for distribution to the mills
 These negotiations have been in progress for several days with the Canadian authorities, it was said. Di- rector Barnes announced further that this quantity of imported wheat will be sufficient for those mills which have not provided their stocks up to the new crop.
 Reports reaching the grain corpora ton today indicated that the nervous ness and excitement heretofore ruling in the flour market in the United States are being gradually allayed, and that flour prices have shown a dis tinct decline in the last week.
 MT. Barnes tonight reiterated that the grain corporation will sell from it's current stocks and it's current move ment through the ports, particularly Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, it's standard grades of flour at S11.50 per barrel in carload lots to bonafide users, and that the grain cor poration offices at all those ports have been instructed to continue to sell on this basis until the domestic situation is entirely relieved.
