SIGNIFICANT TALE.

This attack on the former Prince
of Prussia, and who at one time was
the heir presumptive to the throne OF
Germany, is the most significant tale,
II true, that has come out of the
Fatherland. Henry of Prussia enjoyed
among the people a love and respect
that none OF the other Hohenzollerns
approached.
The United States knew him long
before the reason for his visit came
out Of the sinister moves made by his
brother, the war-mad Wilhelm of Ger
many.
Eighteen years ago the prince was
sent to this country on a visit. He
was hailed and acclaimed, feted and
dined, all because the American peo-
pie believed that his mission was
pacific in purpose, and aimed to knit
closer together the new Republic and
dynastites Of Europe in amicable re-
lations.
TRIED TO FOOL U. 8.
Time, however. has shown that Hen
rvs mission to this country was at
the behest of his brother and the
Junkers, whose purpose OF peaceful
penetration to blaze a trail for war had
then started on its magnitude. Henry
was to come here, act as the demo-
cratic princeling, which he did, and
calm the fears of the people. which
he did, and to fool the seers and
statesmen and the seventh sons of the
seventh sons, which he likewise did.
Personally, the Prussian prince was
a charming man. He was democratic
and had none of the characteristics of
the average beer-drinking Prussian,
such as cartoonists had pictured.
Wherever he appeared feasts were
spread for him, parades organized
and the people generally gave him
adulation and came away fooled buc
pleased. They thought he represent
ed a modern Germany of good man
ner, indomitable energy and pacific
Intentions but to their sorrow years
afterwards learned that the veneer
which Henry wore in his smile and
his charm were only to camouflage
the fury of Attila and the cruelty of
the Hun.

DEFEAT Of GRONNA
ST|RS REPUBLICANS
Will "Take Off Coats" to Work
For G. 0. P. Control
In Senate.
I THANK YOU.

The defeat of A. ]. Gronna, of North
Dakota, Republican, for denomination,
has acted as an accelerator on the Re-
publican campaign to retain and
strengthen Republican control of the
Senate.
The managers OF the Senatorial
campaign are no less confident of
their ability to give Senator Harding
a Republican Congress, but they ap-
preciate the necessity OF taking their
coats off" to give the party a real
working majority in IN upper house.
DR.. E. F. Ladd. pre0dent OF the
North Dakota State Agriculture Col
lege, defeated Senator Gronna for the
Republican nomination, Senator Gron.
ma had expected to retire next year
but was drawn into the contest after
his ire had been aroused by the Non
partisan League, which put up DR..
Ladd and backed him through the
campaign.
DR.. Ladd, according to information
received here. Is not only a Nonparti-
san Lacquer from head to foot, but
has had Democratic leanings in the
past. The Senatorial campaign man
ayers are anxious to learn whether
he will line up on the Republican side
in organizing the Senate II he is
elected. They are afraid they can't
count on him very strongly. On ac-
count of the narrow margin OF con-
troll in the Senate they are going to
sound him out at an early date, and
IL adequate assurances are not forth
coming they may find IL necessary
to run candidate in North Dakota
on an Independent Republican ticket
Moreover, they are not going to be
content merely with holding what
they now have. The present margin
OF two in the Republican control has
been found to be too close for work
ing efficiency and they want to give
the Republican Administration, II the
Harding Coolidge ticket wins, a suf-
ficiently large majority to enable the
party to function promptly in the
framing OF legislation.
They have strong hopes of making
Republican gains in such States as
Kentucky, California, idaho, Nevada
Colorado, Arizona, Maryland and
South Dakota, all of whom are now
represented by Democrats whose
terms will expire next March.

HUNDREDS HUNT VAINLY
FOR BODY OF BANKER
Flare-up on Motorboat Thought to
Have Driven Blake
Overheard.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Although
between fifty and one hundred boats
searched Long Island Sound and ad-
of James Robert Blake, wealthy
banker, the mystery of his vanishing
late in the afternoon of July 2, when
he set out from Clason Point in a
fourteen-foot boat, remained.
V. II. McCutcheon, who is associ-
ated in the search for the missing
man with Col. Charles w. Whittlesey,
said yesterday that he had seen the
engine of Mr.. Blake's boat, which
drifted ashore at North Beach, in
Flushing Bay, the day following his
disappearance, and that wooden strips
to be used as supports for the en-
gine were badly charred. He also
had spoken to James McDermott, who
found the boat he said, and had
learned that the stern of the craft
showed signs of having undergone a
dangerous fIare-up. Asked what his
theory of the case was, Mr.. McCutch-
con said:
'T think II most likely that gasoline
in the boat started a blaze. / have
been told by boatmen that fire would
have spread rapidly under conditions
such as are known to have prevailed
on the day Mr.. Blake set out / think
that his clothing caught fire, and that
he jumped into the water to save
himself. and that the boat got away
from him.
"Or II may be that Mr.. Blake be-
came alarmed at the rapid spread OF
the blaze, and abandoned the boat,
overestimating his ability as an ath-
lete and swimmer, and thinking he
would be able to reach shore"
The search was Joined in yesterday
not only by hundreds of Boy Scouts,
but by individuals along the Long
Island shore desirous OF obtaining the
rewards of $1,000 and 800 offered by
the family for the recovery of the
body.

terrible:

AS soon as he had arisen. too, the
Hohenzollern was submitted again to
blows and jeers. and as he was re-
leased his captors would sneer and
taunt him with such remarks as:
"Oh, Henry, turn on the light"
Lie down, Henry, pleasant dreams"
The article in the newspaper does
not tell how many days the princeling
was subjected TO such treatment, but
adds that the wealthy grandees and
junkers among the landowners in
Schlewig- II olstein have been held mp,
beaten and assaulted by armed gangs
prowling about the country. All OF
these apparently are radicals and
wear the rosette such as the leader
OF the gang that tortured the prince

Great crowds on both sides or the

Anna Edson Taylor made the drop in
October. 1901, and from where Bobby
Leach started in his steel barrel In
July, 1911. II Is about one-third the
distance OF the Horseshoe from the
Canadian shore.
Forty-nine minutes elapsed be-
tween the time Mrs Taylor was put
in the barrel above the falls. and
when she was taken out in the lower
river. Leach's trip took thirty nine
minutes.
From the time that he first saw the
barrel, which was made in England,
Leach declared Stephens could not go
over the falls in IT and live. Both
Leach and Mrs. Taylor sent their
barrels over on trial trips before they
took the plunge. This Stephens did
not do. His barrel was six feet hong.
made of Russian oak. with steel
hoops. The interior was padded and
lighted by a small electric battery
and incandescent lamps
Stephens was a barber In Bristol,
where his wife and eleven children
live. He never saw Niagara Falls un-
til he came here with his barrel last
week. Then he stayed only . day
and went to Toronto to arrange for

partly to prove the efficiency of the
invention that Stephens made the trip.

Fearing he would be stopped by

the greatest secrecy about his plans.
He went from Toronto, Ontario, to

to Niagara Fails, Ontario, by auto

ton the authorities learned of his
plans and Mayor Stephens was on
hand at Snyder's Point, three milees
above the falls on the Canadian side,
to bid him good luck
Stephens put on a padded suit made
especially for the trip, and climbed
into his barrel shortly before o'clock
yesterday morning. Motion picture
men were not quit satisfied with the
pictures they made, and asked him
to climb out again so they could get

PRINCE Henry
KICKED BY MOB
Erstwhlle Beloved Prusslan
Ruler Forced to Run Gauntlet
BY Plebian Crowd.

BERLIN, July 12.-Prince Henry OF
Prussia. brother OF the former Ger
man Emperor and in the heydey OF
the Hohenzollerns the idol OF the Ger
man navy and the most respected and
beloved OF the Prussian princes, was
made to run the gauntlet and submit
10 intolerable tortures at the hands of
a gang OF field laborers. led by a radi-
cal in the tattered uniform of a Hus-
sar and with a silken red rosette in
the buttonhole to tell OF his radical
proclivities.
Not content merely with stripping
the pIinceling OF all his regal prerog-
atives. these men stood in parallel
lines while plebian kicks were aimed
at the royal limbs and plebian blows
belsbored the regal head and face.
Then, when this form OF torture
had been ended, the former comman-
der of the navy and hitherto sacro-
sanct from attack, was hauled to the
Jail like a felon, tossed into a cheap
cell and then tortured as often as the
whim of the laborers guided them to
his prison pen.
The almost incredible story of the
treatment to the prince is given in
the Ost Pruessissche Zeitung. It's au-
thor says that the story is authentic
and came to him, he AYERS, from a
member OF the princes immediate
family.
SECLUDED SINCE THE CRASH.
Since the Hohenzollern family
crashed to ruin in the wreck of a
throne, the Prince has been secluded
at his Schleswig H olstein estate at
Hemmelmark. Always remote from
socfety. the former Prussian grandee
has been living an even more seques-
tered life.
Not many days ago, however, a
gang of sixty men, garbed in the
rough and tattered attire of field la
borers, came to the gates of the es-
tate. The leader, picturesque in his
uniform, with the rosette flaming in
q his buttonhole, said that they wanted
to search the estate for hidden arms.
Their invasion was first stopped,
and for some time they went over the
vast estate, searching every nook and
I Granny, but finding no arms. Mean
while Prince Henry watched them at
their search. When they had finished
the leader walked over to the Prus-
sian nobleman and said:
"Come, Henry!'
"FORCED TO RUN GAUNTLET"
The words appeared to have a mag
ical effect upon his companions. They
split into two lines of thirty men
each, and then the signal was given
for the former scion of the mighty
house Of Hohenzollern to run the
gauntlet, the most degrading punish
iment that these laboring men could
devise.
Down between the twin lines ran
the former royalty. Blows were
rained upon his former sacred person
wherever the fist could strike, while
the kicks that were directed at vul-
nerable spots in his anatomy only
punctuated the jeers and curses that
accompanied them.
But If the degraded princeling were
wearied and spent in his degradation,
his captors' appetites for more torture
seemed to be whetted at the spectacle
they beheld. They grabbed the Prus-
sian noble, and carted him off to the
common Jail of the town Of Berchens-
ferde.
TORTURED NIGHTLY.
There, so the story says, he was
tortured nightly. Nearly every ten
minutes the former majestic figure
