17O3, the unknown prisoner, always masked with a black velvet mask, whom M. de Saint-Mars had brought with him from the Isles Ste. Mar guerite and had kept for long time died at about 10 o'clocA this evening"
 There is a later entry describing the burial of the prisoner on the 10th in the prison cemetery of St. Paul, and a marginal note revealing the mans name as I'M. de Marchtei, about 45." After the burial the gov ernor personally supervised the de- struction of all paper, furniture and clothing used by the prisoner. Even the walls of his cell were scraped to obliterate any hidden message thai might have been written on the stone.
 But who was the Man in the Iror Mask?
 Which is the correct theory? In 1711 Princess Pa1atine wrote tc Electress Sophia of Hanover and sug | gested that the mysterious man nigh be an English nobleman who disap peared after being involved in tht Duke of Berwick's plot against Will 1 liam III. Voltaire described the mar 1 in the Iron Mask as the son of Ma zarin and Anne of Austria. Alexander Dumas, in his book "Vf comte de Bragelonne" exploited tH' | legend that the prisoner was nom other than the twin brother of Loui a right to the throne, so Anne O Austria was forced ito settle tn controversy that would u1timatel, arise by disposing of one of the twin during their infancy.
 Many who believed the prisone was member of the royal hous claim that his son settled in Corsic | under the name Of De Bouna Parte and was the ancester of Napoleon.
 Two Logical Situations.
 Modern criticism of the man theories has narrowed the puzzlin issue to two stories which Lave bee frequently corroborated by historica fact.

IRON MASK MAN
 IDENTIFIED AS
 ABBE PREGNANT

Further evidence pointing toward the Identity of the Man in the Iron Mask has been unearthed recently in Trance. According to Dame Rumor, the popular theory that this famous political prisoner of Louis XIV. was James de la Cloche, alias the Abbe Pregnant, has been confirmed. The mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask has been puzZling the world for over two hundred years.
 Theories, practical and extreme, have been propounded and discard ed upon the discovery of new evil
 The Man in the Iron Mask did not wear an iron mask, according to the popular legend, but his face was cov- cred with a mask of black velvet. He was brought to the Bastile on Sept. IS, 1898, by M. de Saint-Mars, the new gOvernor, from the fortress of the Isles Ste. Marquette. The prison CT had been in his keeping for many years.
 The wearer of the mask was kept apart from the other prisoners, with special keepers guarding him. He was not permitted to speak or remove n1s mask under penalty of death Even when he fell ill and was at. ed masked and M. de Saint Mar. stood over him lest he speak.
 Death is Accorded.
 In the journal of Etienne du Junca one of the kings lieutenants in the Bastille, there is an account of thi. mysterious prisoners death aftel thirty-three years of Imprisonment saying:

 that of the man who died in the Bastille, who was secret agent for the Protestants in France. He was captured in Switzerland and reported executed but it is believed he was taken to the Isles of Ste. Marguerite Son of Charles III. Old Theory ; The latest evidence recalls the old
 theory that Dauger was James de Ia CIoche, the natural son of Charles H. of England. He frequently acted as
 messenger to the French court under the name of Abbe Pregnant. On one of these trips Charles II. believed he

SOVIET TAG DAY is BARRED
Milwaukee City Council Rescinds Per-
NIT Pending Probe by The Amer
lean Red Cross-Legion
Protested.

Milwaukee, Aug. 4.-The Soviet Rus
sian Medical Relief association will
not be allowed to stage a tag day col
lection in Milwaukee on August IA
unless the common council finance and
judiciary committees, comforting with
the Milwaukee chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, find that the cause is
worthy one. A resolution introduced
by Alderman Shutkin, Socialist, Sixth
ward, to permit the tag day, was adopt
ed with several of the nonpartisan
cOuncilmen absent and those present
not cOgniZant of it's nature. The
American Legion took the matter of
the councils action up through the
legiOn's county central committee and
at once expressed opposition to the
plan unless it was approved by the
American Red Cross. Aid John Koer-
ner moved for a reconsideration of the
adoption of the resolution. Alderman
Hannifin was the only councilman to
vote against the measure when it was
adopted. Alderman Koerner declared
he did not wish to go on record as
voting for relief for a people who seek
to destroy governments. On reconsid-
Grafton the measure was referred back
to the committees. Aldermen Hannif1n,
Hase and Janicki voting with the non
partisans against the solid socialist
vote. Alderman Greene favored send
ing the measure to the committee for
investigation declaring that the Red
Cross is the proper channel through
which such work should be conducted
IF the Red Cross approves the plan
I'll vote for it, but not until then, for
l think the people of Milwaukee have
been called on enough to donate" he
said. The committees were instructed
to report at the next council meeting.

sues Review Of Resources-No
Reason for Pessimism.

Washington, July 31.-"There Is alb

view of the financial situation as

it for uneSsentials and luxuries and in
encouraging increased production of
commodities most needed" the comp
trOller's statement continues, "has
been distinctly beneficial and has, 1t

in reducing the high cost of living far
and wide.
although the application of the
brakes seems to have had Earring
effect upon some nervous systems, and
money panic and commercial crisis,
there are in our country, abundant
reasons for confidence and encOurag-

In about two-thirds of the reserve
and central reserve cities there has
been a distinct tendency towards liq-
uidation and reduction in bank loans.
Comptroller Williams states. Increases
in loans were confined almost ex-
clusively to the Eastern and Cleveland
districts.
'The reduction in loans has natural
ly been accompanied by a decline in
deposits" it is explained, "but the ag-
gregate of bank resources at this time
is still at high level, and the nation
al banks of the country are in par
ticularly strong and well-fortified po-
sition."
