Paris, June pa rumor was in

from Holland but is still in hiding
in some part of the country. 1t was
said that possibly he conferred at

turned to Germany.

taken at the request of the allied
chieftains in Paris. who are reported
to be framing a demand for the I'M

report proves true. Thus far no of

Earl Fitch Receives Death Wound
After Quarrel With Frank
Willy Over Cellar

Galena, Ill., June 27.-Earl A.
Fitch. cashier of the Merchants
National Bank, and Frank Willy,
neighbors, shared a cellar to which
entrance was gained by trap door
between the two houses. Fitch
wanted the trap door shut so that
his children would not fall into the
cellar. Willy, it is alleged, was
prone to leave the door open.
This situation led to a quarrel,
which eliminated when Willy shot
and killed Fitch. Fitch crumbled
into the arms of his wife with the
first shot, and, Il is alleged, Willy
continued shooting, one of the bull
let's grazing Mrs. Fitch's arm as
she supported her husband.
Willy is closely guarded by the
police. who fear demonstrations
similar to the one when an angry
crowd surrounded Willy on the way
to Jail may occur.

CROWN PRINCE IN GERMANY.
Exile Flees From acknowledgements
Enraged at His Return

Berlin, June 27.-Like an electric
spark the news flashed through Ger
many yesterday that Friedrich Will
helm, the former Kaiser's eldest son
and heir, has fed from his exile at
Wieringen, Holland, and is now
somewhere in Germany"
But the news had a widely differ
ent effect upon the various classes
of the population. Summing it up
briefly, the overwhelming majority
of the people are bitterly disappoint-
ed, and even partly enraged at the
return of this arch-representative of
staggering junkerism.
In official quarters it is conceded
that this sensational development
is bound to complicate matters and
this at moment when the people
already are torn and racked by the
bitterest emotions.
The former crown princes sane
tuary in his own country will be
precarious, and perhaps. brief. The
Spartacists, just preparing Tor a
nation wide revolution, hail his ar
rival as the best imaginable propa-
panda for their cause. Nor does
the hulk of the German people
doubt for a moment that Friedrich
Wilhelm has any aim and interest
other than establishing the
throne.
Had the former kaiser himself es-
capped and crossed back into Ger
many the event would not have had
half the depressing effect, for few
believe the: former monarch still
harbors any hope of regaining the
crown, and sympathy with him-as
private citizen, and as such alone
is widespread. The former crown
prince, however,. never popular with
the real masses though worshipea
by sporting lieutsnants and ador,ed
by a host of "fappers, is a bugaboo
even to5 the pap-Germans and. the
very spersoaifcation of mi!itarism. TO
the. Radicals and Socialists.
The, first move on his part for
the ir;e-establishment. of the mon
archy would go far toward, reunit-
ing the Independent and majority
Socialists.
