 Speaking today before the Ameri- can Iron and Steel Institute. MT. Gary. who is president of the in- stitute. said the American people are not buying enough to supply them selves fully with the ordinary com forts of life, although they have the disposition and the means to do so. This. he explained. was due to the opinion of the purchasing public that there has not been complete and proper readjustment, of prices.

 Wages Too High.
 Present steel selling prices, MT. Gary declared, will not permit any reduction until wages are further de- creased. 1t would be unjust he said, to further reduce wage rates before the costs of living are lowered.

End Comes to Wife of Ex-
Kaiser Just One Year
After She Suffered Her
First Serious Attack.

Doom, Holland, April 11.-(By
The Associated Press. )-Former
Empress Augusta Victoria of Ger
many died here at O'Clock this
morning. By strange coincidence
the end came just one year after
she suffered her first serious attack
of heart disease.
1t was while she was preparing to
enter 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 the time was believed
to be fatal attack. That was on
April II, 1920. For few days,
there were reports that her death
was momentarily expected, but she
rallied, and accompanied her hus-
band to Doom on May IS. last.
Funeral at Doom.
Funeral services will be held at
the house of Doom tomorrow, and
will be attended by only members
of her family. The remains will be
taken to Potsdam on Wednesday,
and another funeral service will be
held there.
Former Emperor William and
Prince Adelbert were at the bed
side when the former empress died.
They had been called by DR.. Haes-
ner, who attended the former en-
press throughout her residence in
Holland.
The death came as a shock to the
dwellers in Doom castle as during
last week the patients condition had
seemed less serious. Nevertheless,
last Saturday DR.. Haesner, after
consultations with Professor Hy-
mans, the Dutch heart specialist,
thought it advisable to send mes
sage to Princess Victoria Louise. the
only daughter of the former enl-

Duke at Fremont
Sentenced for
Forging Checks
Confessed Partner, Also Found
Guilty, Denies Prisoners
Testimony That He Was
Unaware of Fraud.

Fremont, Neb., April 1l.-(Special
Telegram m.)-Craig Chesterfield, alias
Chester de Granville. alias Virgil
Stillaire, claiming to be the son OF
an English lord, was found guilty
of forgery after an hours delibera-
ton by the jury in district court
here tonight and sentenced to from
enc to 20 years in the penitentiary.
Asserting that he was merely em-
pioyed by James Baird, his confessed
partner in a huge check forgery
escapade, Chesterfield testified in the
trial that he had nothing to do with
the signing Of bogus checks found
in his room when arrested. He
stated that he met Baird in Pitts
burgh while employed by the VIII
son Packing company and left with
him for the west, intending to go 20
the coast.
The alleged duke asserted that
when he arrived i'll Omaha with
Baird he was out of funds and need
ed work. As a result, Chesterfield
pointed out, he accepted the offer
of Baird to work for him in the in
terests of the Commercial Inves.i-
CATION company" of Lincoln, an
ethereal corporation. The English
man stated that they came to Fre-
mont with the purpose of locating
here and the money and checks de-
posted by him in one of the local
banks was given to him as salary.
He insists that he did not know
whether the checks were good or
rot and gave them to the bank for
collection.
Baird, who is under a one to 20
year sentence, took the stand ard
apparently made a clean breast of
everything. He admitted that the
entire business was a scheme to
fleece the local banks and testified
that Chesterfield signed some of the
checks with fake names as we'll as
himself. Jacob Gould, paying teller
of the Pittsburgh bank, testified that
Baird had worked at his institution
about 10 days and departed after he
had stolen signatures from the files.
Baird worked in Pittsburgh urde.
the name of Farrand Sayre, as hook
keeper. Gould identified signatures
of prominent Pittsburgh men that
had been forged to checks by the
two men amounting to about $4,000
Baird testified that Chesterfield Sc
cured blank checks from the Wilson
Packing company while in its em.
ploy in Pittsburgh.
