DOORN, Holland, April 11.-For-
mer Empress Augusta Victoria of
Germany died here at 6 o'clock this
morning. By a strange coincidence
the end came just one year after she
suffered her first attack of heart dis
ease.
1t was while she was preparing to
lenter the house of Doom, the pres
ent home Of the former emperor of
Germany, after her long residence at
Amerongen, that she was stricken
with what at that time was believed
to be a fatal attack. That was on
April IL, 1920. For few DAYS there
were reports that her death was mo-
mentarily expected, but she rallied,
and accompanied her husband to
Doom on May Is last.
Attacks of her fatal malady re-
Cured at frequent intervals, each
sapping her vitality and nullifying
the measure taken by specialists to
restore her hath. When her son,
former Prince Joachim, committed
suicide in Berlin last July, she was in
such serious condition that the news
of his death was kept from her for a
long time, and it is said she never
learned her son killed himself.
Late last autumn the former en-
press condition gradually became
worse, and on several occasions her
children were called to Doom, but her
strength was such that she rallied
bravely when the end was believed
imminent. Since the first of the year
it had been known that she was grad
ually sinking.
The death came as shock to the
dwellers in Doom Castle, as during
last week the patients condition had
seemed less serious. Nevertheless,
last Saturday DR.. Haesner, after con-
sultation with Prof. Hlmans, the
Dutch heart specialist, thought It ad-
visable to send message to Princess
Victoria Louise, the only daughter of
the former empress, calling her to
Doom. The princess, who then was
IN Vienna, had not reached Doom
when death came to the ex-empress
this morning.
Last night the patient was only
semiconscious. She was kept from.
suffering by frequent hypodermic in
jections, but her breathing appeared
to become hourly more difficult. At
5 o'clock this morning DR.. Haesner
assisted the attending nurse and the
Countess Won Keilar, an old friend
Of the former empress, to adjust the
patients position so that she might
become more comfortable.
As the day broke breathing became
still more difficult for the failing pa
tient, and her pulse grew weaker.
lt then was evident to the physi-
clan that the end was near, and DR..
Haesner warned former Emperor
William and Prince Adelbert of its
approach.
The ex-empress became uncon-
scious and her breathing became
fainter and fainter, until at 6 o'clock
life left her frail body.
The ex-emperor stood at the bed
side with bent head as death came to
his consort, and he remained in the
room for some time afterward.

food consisted of about pound OF
some solid substance Of the consist
ency of cheese and almost tasteless,
while the liquid was apparently milk
from some animal. IT came, as later
discovered. not from an animal, as
there is only one mammal on Mars,
and that one very rare indeed, but
from a large plant which grows prac-
tically~ without water, but seems to
distill its plentiful supply of milk from
the products of the soil, the moisture
Of the air, and the rays Of the sun.

disclosed characteristics Of sympathy,
kindliness and affection; her ministra-
tlons to- my bodily wants were unfaN-
ing. and her SOLICITORS care saved me
from much suffering and many hard
ships.
As I was to learn, the Marian nights
are extremely cold. and rs there is
practically no twilight or dawn, the
changes in temperature are sudden
and most uncomfortable. as are the
transitions from brilliant daylight to
darkness. The nights are either brilli-
antly Illuminated or very dark, for
IL neither Of the two moons OF Mors

Tested their young.
They We're conversing together in
low tones, and gesticuiating and point
ing toward me. Their discovery that
l had not harmed the little Martians
and that Twas unframed must have
caused them to look upon me with less
ferocity; but. as l was TO learn later
the thing which weighed most in my
favor was my exhibition of hur1ling.
While the Martians are immense.
their bones are very large and they
are muscled only in proportion to the
grayitation which they must overcome.
The result is that they are infinitely

portion to their weight, than an Earth

WINGED that he could not do so.
My feat, then, was as marvellous up
on Mars as it would have been upon
Earth, and from desiring to annihilate
me they suddenly looked upon me as
wonderful discovery to be captured
and exhibited among their fellows.
/ noted that each was armed with
several other weapons in addition to
the huge spear which / have described.
The weapon which caused me TO de-
eide against an attempt at escape by
flight was what was evidently a rifle
of some description and which l felt,
for some reason, they We're peculiarly
efficient in handling.
These rifles were of white metal
stot ked with wood, which / learned
later was very light and intensely
hard growth much priced on Mars.
and entirely unknown to us denizens
of Earth. The metal of the barrel
is an alloy composed principally of
aluminium and steel which they have
learned to temper to a hardness far
exceeding that of the steel with which
we are familiar The weight of these
rifles is comparatively little, and with
the small caliher, explosive. radium
projectiles which they use and the
great length of the barrel, they are
deadly in the extreme and at ranges
which would be unthinkable on Earth.
The theoretic effective radius of this
rifle is three hundred miles, but the
best they can do in actual service
when equipped with their wireless
finders and sighters is but a trife
over two hundred miles.
The Martians, after conversing for
a short time, turned and rode away
in the direction from which they had
come, leaving one of their number
alone by the enclosure. When they
had covered perhaps two hundred
yards they halted and turning their
mounts toward US sat watching the
warrior by the enclosure.
When his force had come to halt
he dismounted, threw down his spear
and small arms and came around the
end of the incubator toward me, en-
tirely unarmed and as naked as /,
except for the ornaments strapped up
on his head, limbs and breast.
When he was within about fifty feet
of me he unclasped an enormous met
al armlet and holding it toward me in
the open palm of his hand, addressed

that of frog, except that the jaws

long, sharp tusks.

Grandview is Beaten but League
President Rules Out Top
penish Game

With the winning of last Sundays
game from Grandview, Kennewick
nosed little closer to the top of the
Yakima Valley league and was tied
with Toppenish, Sunnyside and Pas
co for second place with Wapato lead
ing by one game. This standing,
however, was upset today when Pres
ident Taylor, Of Grandview, president
of the league, allowed Toppenish's
protest in the game played here May
%. He threw the game out and or
dered it played over at the first con-
venient date. This ruling places Top
penish in second place and reduces
Kennewick to fifth.
Toppenish protested the decision OF
Umpire Martin who held that Morain
was safe when he collided with the
shortstop in going from second to
third. Martin held that the shortstop
had missed the batted ball before Mo-
rain bumped him. The play came in
the last half of the ninth and re-
suited in tied score, / to 1. Top
penish refused to finish, left the field
and the game was declared forfeited
to Kennewick, to 0.
While the Kennewick boys express
surprise at President Taylor's decis-
ion, they argue that the league offic-
ials have no authority to reverse an
umpire's decision only in the event the
decision is based on a wrong interpre-
tation of the rules. In this case it was

CITY WATER IS
DECLARED 0. K.
State Tests Show That There
are Only Four Bacteria to
the Cubic Centimeter

With the exception of those living
in Olmsted Addition, residents Of the
city of Kennewick are now drinking
pure water.
The u. S. Bureau of Health holds
that water which does not contain in
excess of 100 bacteria to the cubic
centimeter is good for drinking pur-
poses. Since the installation Of the
chlorine gas treating tank in the p.
P. & L. company's pumping plant, the
analysis of the city water shows only
four bacteria to the cubic centimeter.
The last analyses were made by the
state department some time ago and
City Health Officer Crosby is Of the
opinion that test now will show the
water to be absolutely free of live bac-
terra.
Analyses of the domestic water for
the Highlands and Olmsted Addition
still show contamination and DR.. Cros-
by advises that this water be boiled.

VALLEY MEN IN COURT
Mr.. and Mrs. b. F. Smith Fined for
Assaulting B. G. Zwanzig

Mrs. B. F. Smith was fined $75 and
her husband $50 in Justice Staser's
court Friday following a jury's verdict
that the two had been guilty of as
sault on the person Of B. G.. Zwanzig.
The prosecution was conducted by
Prosecuting Attorney Hamilton as
sisted by C. L. Holcombe, while the
defense was handled by NJ. M. Noul-
ton, who says the case will be ap-
pealed to the superior court by his
clients.
The assault was provoked when Mr..
Zwanzig killed one of Smiths chickens
which had strayed into his yard. Dis
cussion of the killing led to a fistic
encounter between the two men. The
Smiths were held to be the agressors
inasmuch as Mr.. Zwanzig remained
on his own property, and Mrs. Smith
the chief offender because she start
ed the fight by striking Zwanzig with
rock.
The trial developed the fact that
bad feeling has existed between the
two families for more than year and
the fight was the climax of number
of quarrels.
