COUNTESS CRONSAC
DIES AT AGE OF II
Had Been Well Known in So.
ciety Here and in Virginia
for 20 Years.

Countess Marguerite d'Adhermar
d'Cronsac, we'll known in Washing
ton and Virginia society for the past
20 years, died at 10 o'clock today in
her apartments In the Connecticut,
1850 Connecticut avenue, after a long
illness. The countess had reached
her 77th birthday Tuesday.
Although i'll for several months her
condition did not take a turn for the
worse until a week ago today, when
she was confined to bed. Death was
due to complication of diseases. Her
son. Count Raoul d'Adhemar, and a
cousin, Mrs. l.. Robertson Childs,
were at the bedside when death came.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the coun.
tess, whose maiden name was Mar
guerite Cromwell Labrot, went to
France when a young woman and
there married Count CASTOR d'Adhe.
mar Of Toulouse, member of an old
and distinguished French family. in
1873. The count and countess came
to America about 20 years ago, pur-
chasing Mossenck Manor, on the Rap
pahannock River near F'redericks-
burg, where they lived for about
year. The family returned to France
where a short time later the count
died.
Since his death the countess has
divided her time between Mossneck
Manor and her apartments here in
the Connecticut. In addition to her
son and Mrs. Childs. the countess is
survived by another cousin, Mrs.
Wallace Shillito of the Plaza Hotel
New York City.

GREENLAND MUSK OXEN

Island, off the west coast of Norway.
1t is hoped they will become used to
the climate of northern Europe. The
flesh of these animals makes excel

testify, and there is always a demand
for them in geological gardens.
The animals wander at will about
the island, finding an abundance of
food in the grasses and rough herb
age. They still resent the approac ch
of human beings, however. and when
danger or disturbance is sensed the
bulls form a protective ring about
the cows and snort violently.
The most anxious time for those
interested In the experiment will be
during the Summer. The natural
habitat of the musk OK is among the
bleak regions OF Arctic America, and
it Is possible that they will not sur

Is also danger that they will bring

Firemen Handicapped.
Firemen were handicapped in fight
ing the flames when the north wall
of the building collapsed into Fifth
street, bringing down several high
tension wires. 1t was an hour and a
half before the electrical current was
turned off and firemen could approach
with safety.
Two companies of firemen who were
flghting the flames from the top of a
building narrowly escaped death when
the walls collapsed. They succeeded
in leaping to the roof of an adjoining
building.
c. A Buckley, a policeman, said he
was sure most of the people in the
theater escaped. although he declared
that some undoubtedly had been
trapped. Melvin McNut, negro porter
in a restaurant on the ground floor
of the building. said that half an hour
before the explosion he went into the
basement with the cook and they
found gas fumes. He discussed with
the cook the advisability of notifying 6
the gas company, he said, and had
gone outside to get fresh air when the
blast occurred.
McNut said he felt sure several per-
sons in the restaurant did not escape.
A second blast was reported to have
followed the first by 10 minutes.
Property damage was placed at
s. 90, 900 by Fire Chief Henderson.
