1892. She was born on January 9, 1863.
The couple have two children, lrma and
Gustav.
Their. has been q strongly held belief,
both inside and outside Germany, that
the Pan-German, Monarchist party Was
merely biding its time and awaiting an
opportune moment to seize control of
affairs. 1t was this belief, for one thing,
that caused the allies worriIncnt when
they considered the ncarness OF former
Emperor Williams retreat at Amerongcn
to the German border and prompted their
strong representations to Holland OF the
danger to the peace of Germany and the
rest of Europe of his presence there.
In response 70 this the Dutch govern
ment promised TO keep close guard over
the ex1uler. Former Crown Prince
Frederick William also is refuge in Hol-
land, but his retreat at Wieringen is further
removed from the German border.
While there has been no hint In the
early reports of an overturn 1t Berlin to
indicate that the movement looked to
restoration OF the Hohenxollern dynasty,
the fact that the development is APP
parently of Monarchistic nature will
cause close attention TO be paid to any
news from Holland regarding the former
Royal personages who have been making
that country their home for more than
year past.
Interest in this phase Of the situation is
all the more strengthened by the indi-
cations that have come from Berlin that
the reaetionary movement was possibly
precipitsted by the fact that a Hohen-
zolcrn Prince, Joachim Albrecht, had
been arrested and was about to be tried
and possibly imprisoned in connection
with the recent demonstration against
French officers at the Hotel Adlon.

VALUABLE ESTATE
OF NEGRO BARBER
Erisby Left About SIS, 900
Claimants. Son and Widow,
Figure in Court.

A Negro BARRIERS estate, valued at ap-
proximately $4,000, was involved in a
circumstantial way in = case in the
Municipal Court today. Clarence Frisby,
Is years of age, said by some to be the
sole heir-at-law to this property, was
charged with abreach of the peace.
In view Of the circumstances surround
ing the case, Deputy Judge Finger con-
tinucd the hearing until next Wednesday
on motion of Attorney Chandler, repre-
senting the son. Attorney Irving Handy
appeared for Irene Frisby, Sl5 Walnut
street. described in court on one side as
the boys stepmother, who has been
granted letters of administration upon the
estate.
All this property, mostly houses, was
accumulated by the late William Frisby,
who for about twenty years conducted a
barber shop at Third and Market streets.
After his death the son continued to
make his home with the widow For some
reason the stepmother finally raised some
objection to the boys presence, and he
was ordered to stay away One night
last week he broke into the house and his
arrest followed. Attorney Handy wants
him restrained from going there any more.
Attorney Chandler objected. When the
case was called this morning the youth
did not appear. He was finally located at
the stcpmother's house. The latter was
In court.
The distribution of all the deceased
tonsorialists estate is likely to take place
one of these days. Attorney Chandler in
formed the court that the estate is valued
at approximately $4,000. The rents
alone. he stated, are worth about $1,000
a year. Besides, there is about $1,000
In bank. All the property is in this city.
The boys legitimacy was questioned
in court today by Attorney Handy. He
produced an affidavit purporting to have
been executed by the boy himself to the
effect that his father told him many times
that he and the, boys mother, now de-
ceased, were never married. Attorney
Chandler denounced this as false. The
question is important in connection with
the distribution of the property. Only
the boy and his stepmother lay any claim
to the estate.
Counsel tilted frequently in court over
various phases of the estate and the claims
Upon it. The house at Sl5 Walnut street
occupied by the stepmother, is part of
the estate.
William Frisby is remembered by many
Wilmingtonians. He conducted a shoe
shine parlor IN connection with the barber
shop. He died in August, 1918, leaving no
will. In the affidavit the boy recites further
that his father frequently pleaded with
hmm to make no lisison with any woman.
