Vienna, Jan | Correspondence of tht
Associated Press Pending an investi
CATION by Parliament OF the disposition
Of the imperial funds. the position Of the
former Emperor Charles and the crsf.
while imperial family continues TO be 2
painful one though not dangerous unless
the situation should lead to disorders
/ In that event the family possibly may
travel TO Switzerland or elsewhere.
The Socialist papers continue freely
TO attack the former emperor, arch
dukes and aristocracv, claiming that the
latter did not do their duty during the
war. There IS much critical and frivolou,
gossip concerning the former Empires,
Zita
The secret files Of old Emperor Franci,
Joseph Is being examined. Ills fortune Is
varlously estimated at from 10000 COS
TO 20O, 100000 crowns. According to one
report the old emperor divided $4,000, ,0ou
crowns between his two daughters Gisela
and Valerie and his granddaughter, the
Princess Windischgraetz, with other large
sums 10 the imperial funds from which
donations were made 10 churches, pen
slons and the royal poor. Although
Charles, officially Is the dispenser of these
funds, 1t IS stated that III reality II i
handled bv the bank directors.
Ekertsau castle, where the former
emperor Is now living does not belong to
him but IS property Of the state together
with other large estates and also the IA
nous collection of Jewels IN Hoiburg
castle among which Is the ..tlorentina
diamond called the fourth largest IN the
world, and also a wonderful necklace 1t
Is expected that this property will b.

the former empire when the accounts are
settled among them. 1t will be necessary
also to divide up the vast and wonderful
treasures, the masterpieces of art, paint
ings, antiquities, and vases centered In
Vienna formerly crown property or In the
state museum or other museums or Ii
braries These are believed to be worth
several billions.
The dispersal OF these treasures Is
expected to be difficult task and to be
fraught with disaster to Vienna since her
whole future existence is believed to de
pend upon her ability to make herself I
center OF attraction for visitors, tourists,
artists, architects and students OF music
and medicine, now that she no longer Is q
center of commerce and politics of a
great empire which annually drew IN
billions OF income from such sources.
Friends Of the former Emperor Charles
assert that all the sins of the Hapsburgs
have been visited upon his head and that
he has been blamed for all the grating III
the army, although the aristocrats declare
that the grating generals were principally
those without titles They admitted
however, there were i few exceptions III
which corrupt nobility profited by the
war. 1t IS asserted by the friends Of
Charles, the last emperor, that while the
old emperor never was permitted to get IN
touch with the people, Charles i'm
mediately got rid Of the old crowd" and
did his best to introduce new men ard to
stop the war

Senator Phelan of California has in

mountains in California, to be dedi-
Gated as a national memorial to Theo-
dore Roosevelt. This Is a departure
from the principle hitherto maintained
in the matter of naming national
parks, but sentiment favoring it Is
already appearing. Robert Sterling
lard. chief Of the educational division
of the national park service, is an
earnest advocate of the proposal. He
said today:
Senator Phelan's selection of "a
national memorial to Roosevelt is re-
markably appropriate in many ways.
