BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Berlin today
Is in the midst of the blackest pc.
riod II has known since the Knapp
revolution. Despite the mayors
reassuring statement that the food
situation Is not endangered by the
strikes on the railways and in the
municipal services, the situation
in the poor quarters resembled the
panic days of wartime food short
age.
Long queues of frightened people
who were convinced that they face
starvation in a time of bitter cold,
We're formed before food shops every
where. Their panic was increased
when the bakeries. handicapped by
the shortage OF coal, soon had ey-
hausted their bread stocks.
Prices have jumped sky-rocket
fashion under the pressure of fran
tic buying for boarding purposes.
Sunday was a day of bleakness and
despair. The whole city, including
theaters. cinemas. restaurants and
hospitals, was plunged into impene.
trable darkness. Doctors were unable
to carry out the simplest operations.

CONGRESS Will
IGNORE PLEA On
RAIL STRIKE Law
No Chance for Legislation
coercing Transportation
Workers, Leaders Assert.

Congress will turn a deaf ear to
appeals by American manufacturers
for legislation outlawing rail strikes,
it is indicated by Senate leaders.
The Senate, having once expe-
rienced a refusal of the House to
participate in such legislation, will
ignore the pleas made by manufac-
turers to the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, ii is said.
Senator Cummins Republican),
Iowa, chairman Of the committee,
declared today he favored re.
strictive legislati ton which could be
applied to both management and
labor in solving railroad problems.
He admitted. however, that opposi-
ton to such a measure would reach
such proportions as to prevent
enactment. The Legislation which
Cummins favors would include pro-
hibition of lockouts and discrimi-
nation by employers as well as
strikes of employees.
Senator Lenroot Of Wisconsin,
is opposed to anti-strike legislation
in any form.
"Prohibitive measures offer no
solution for the railroad problem.
he declared. "Anti-strike legisla-
ton could not pass Congress. II
would be disastrous and would fiEd
no support in public sentiment.
The Senate must find a solution
which will be fair not only TO the
public but to the management and
labor as we'll"

ton in the Gould family when the
countess decided to marry the Duke
Of Talleyrand. Her brother, George
J. Gould, and her sister, Miss Helen
Gould, now Mrs. Finley ]. Shepard,
made strong objections. Her brother
especially. as trustee Of the estate,
threatened to take the matter into
court on the codicil in their fathers
will which forbade marriage by any
one of the children without consent
Of the majority Of the executors Of
the estate.
While the squabble was merrily
going on, the duke appeared in the
United States. He received a de-
cidedly frigid reception, and although
he tried to remain incognito in this
country, was found by reporters.
The Gould family received him with
little cordially.
Had $780, 600 q Year
The immense Gould fortune was
being split up and the hands Of Eu.
ropean pretenders were reaching
for them, in the opinion of the
family's advisers. George Gould
put up a stiff battle. But Anna
insisted that she was entitled to
her allowance of $4,000 year
from the estate without emcum-
brance and threatened a legal fight
for her share Of the fortune.
The latest report in this amazing
story has it that the Duke Of Tai
leyrand has gone TO one of his
castles on the Rhine-the use OF
which was forbidden him during
the war, and that he will stay
there until the divorce is granted.
1t is not only the Duchess de Tai
leyrand's step toward a divorce that
is setting Paris agog, but the as
founding possibility is being freely
discussed that Boni de Castellane,
who since his fathers death is the
Marquis de Castellane, has started
negotiations with his former wife
toward remarriage. Since the Cath
Ollie Church has never approved the
legal procedure. the duchess and the
count are still married in the eyes
Of the church.
Although Talleyrand Is the scion
Of one of Frances noble families,
his personal record before his mar
rage to the American heiress was
so full of scandal that his social
eclipse had already ben established.
Since his divorce the Marquis de
Castellane has made quite a repu-
tation as an architect and interior
decorator. in which capacity he has
had many business deals with the
well-known American decorator, Elsie
de Wolfe. He has lived Of late in a

ANNA GOULD To
BEGIN SUIT FOR
PARIS DIVORCE
Former Wife of Boni de Cas-
telane Has Row With Duke
de Tafteyrand.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-The path of
the American dollar Princess"
in Europe is strewn with amaz-
ing adventures and strange thrills.
La Duchess de Talleyrand. who
was the former Miss Anna Gould,
once hailed as the richest girl in
the world, has decided to apply
for a divorce and has filed first
papers with the Paris tribunal.
The grounds on which she bases
the action are secret.
Tigers" Cousin In Case.
With a social-domestic squabble
raging in the ducal household. the
question of the fate involving the
Gould millions in their European at
mosphere is rapidly becoming an
acute one.
The affairs of the Duchess Of Tai
leyrand, which occupied the atten-
ton of fashionable salons on both
sides of the Atlantic for years, are
again the subject of frenzied specu-
lations on two continents, and the
sensation created by her act in
divorcing her first husband, Count
Boni de CaStellane, and her subse-
'Quent marriage to the later's cousin,
the Duke of Talleyrand, is expected
TO be duplicated in the present case.
Close friends OF the duchess say
that she has engaged Albert Clemen-
ceau, brother of 1.-The Tiger" as her
counsel. The latter refuses to com.
ment on the rumor. but admitted
that he had been engaged by the
New York heiress.
Amid a burst of publicity trun-
pets, the American heiress arrived
in the French capital a quarter Of
century ago and soon became the
cynosure of the French nobility, es-
pecially since she had the reputa-
ton Of being the richest girl in the
world. Gallant young scions of the
best French families showered the
heiress with flattering attentions, but
after some severe fighting all along
duced to three.
DE Castehane Succeeds.
Elegant Count Boni de Castellane
" was the lucky youth who carried off
the marvellous prize. Ten years later,
however, q splitter of scandal &C.

and a divorce suit was begun. Soon
after the final legal settlement the

Bitter feeling between the two
cousins marked the winding up Of
the affair. one day as the duke was
coming from mass Count de Castel-
lainc stopped him in front of the
church and attacked him with his
cane. in the subsequent battle two
representatives of patrician families
fell into the gutter. The affair had

wounded feelings.
His troubles, however, were not
over. The Roman Catholic Church
did not sanction another marriage.
But the duke and the American
hciress were finally married amid
civil and religious ceremony in Lon
'don in 1907, but not with the cere-
lmony of the Catholic Church.

1t is a conventional habit to be
scornful when politics is mentioned, y
he said. And yet, there is nothing in
the field of American activity which is
so powerful a challenge. Politics
means the effective administration of

a great business enterprise. 1t means
a large contribution to either happi-
