CHARLEvILLE, France. July 17.-Once
more the strange STORY OF the disap-
pearance of Johann Orth, the Austrian
archduke who gave up royal honors
and fed to South America with a
pretty Viennese singer, is arousing in

the public is divided into two factions,

met his death thirty years ago while

RenauX of Charleville, who AYERS that

RenauX suggested that they take

together they watched the steamship

PARIS, July IA remarkable con-
fesslon by a man awaiting sentence
for murder and which Is being investi-
gated by the French military authori-
ties and /the police may lead to the
arrest of a band Of spies who sold to
the Germans military plans of the de-
fences Of the Chemin des Danes.
According to Alfred Noblecourt, for
merly French soldier, he obtained
his discharge from the army through
tn, influence Of an officer whose name
Is being withheld from publication by
the police. This officer now Is accused
OF having been the head of spy Or
ganization. Also 1t was charged that
he sent Noblecourt and a woman spy

Noblecourt says that his companion
threatened to tell the police and had
to be silenced by giving her large
sum of money. Then she had him de-
tanned temporarily in a hospital for the
insane, declaring that he was lunatic
until he pro, ed his sanity to the physi-
clans of the hospital, who finally released
him. A few weeks later, when he was

The police at first were inclined TO
believe that the spy story was fabricated
In order to delay the carrying out OF
Justice, but Noblecourt gave so many
details regarding hotels where he
stopped and described personages with
whom he talked, all of which tailed
with official knowledge of German es-
plonage. work in Switzerland, that they
decided to order a thorough investiga-
tion.
Not the least interesting assertion by
Noblecourt was his statement that In
order to keep his associates submissive
to his orders, he buried more than
million francs in a steel box, In which
also were placed letters. which, he de-
cared. would give the military authori-
ties all the evidence they required TO

port. OF the storm of protest from women
which poured In to the management.
The lines of the Chinese character In
East Is West" which were regarded as
of little significance by New York audi
ences, provoked much protest here.
These lines are to the effect that women
are ehattels. that man can get new
motor car when the old one Is worn out,
and why not a new woman?
Many Of the protests here were to the
effect that women proved in the war that
they were not chattels, but, on the con-
trary. that they were well able to take
mans place in most phases or industry.

Ban on Stockyards Sale?

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE plar
proposed by the big five packers te
dispose of their stockyard interests te
F. H. Prince & Co. of Boston. will
not result in the separation of the
stockyards from packer interests, the
federal trade commission declared to.
day in report to Attorney General
Palmer.
The commission gave two reasons
for its conclusion as follows:
"The longtime stockyards rela-
tions of F. H. Prince with the pack
ers have been such that the plan will
not result in the opinion of the COM
mission in a. enforcement of the stock
yards from packer interest.
1.-THE plan as outlined will result, in
til opinion of the commission, in an
infraction of the monopoly law "
the land greater and more serious
than the existing infraction.
The packers plan to- dispose of the
stockyard interests was drawn up
after the filing of consent dissolu-
ton decree in federal courts here,
agreed upon by the packers and the
department of justice as result OF
antitrust suits brought against the
packers at Chicago.
The commits ion recommends that
the proposed sale be not approved BY
the attorney general.
THAT the plan now presented to
the court" said the commission. will
result in a greater monopolization of
the stockyards service of the country
than now exists is shown by the fact
that it will amalgamate into one
holding company fifteen of the prin-
cipal stockyards in which the differ
ent packers now hold varying inter.
est. A single holding company will
own all fifteen yards. This will be a
more extensive stockyard monopoly.
The fifteen yards handle IS per cent
of the animals received at all stock
yards markets in the country"
