The breakup of the great SHINES
combinations has caused the aban-
donment of plan, long cherished by
Hugo SHINES and his sons, of erect
ing an imposing family mausoleum
in the Ruhr valley.
The mausoleum, designed by Franz
I3rantzky, was to have cost $500,OOO

hotel Des InvaDdes, Paris, which con-
tains the tomb of Napoleon.
Twenty y-seven massive pillars were
to support q structure topped by q
cupoIa In front of the building
cascades were planned in three tiers.
The whole was to be symbolic of
coal and water power, the founda-
tons of the SHINES fortune.
Originally the site WAS intended by
Hugo Stinnes for an imposing coun-
try residence. The war and the in
flation period forced him to abandon
the plan. Now the breakup Of tie
fortune has thwdrted the mausoieum

EMPRESS ZITA LOSES COURT
GEM CASE.

Paris, June 4.--The second attempt
of Empress Zita, widow of the late ex-
Emperor Charles of Austria, to regain
the Hapsburg court jewels or at least a
reaccounting of the terms Of their sale
has failed.
A French court has just declared the
transaction by which the ex Emperor
and the Archduchess Marie Theresa dis
posed of the jewels perfectly regular.
Previously a Swiss court had rendered
a similar verdict in a simiIar,suit brought
by the Empress Zita
Both suits were directed against the
Baron Charles Steiner, former conf
dant of Emperor Charles, and against
Bienenfeld Brothers, Paris jewellers.
The Hapshurgs received in exchange
for the jewels a sum of 5,753, 900 francs
at the time received, worth about half
a million dollars, but now worth less
than $500, 900.
Empress Zita came to Paris 10 person
from her Spanish retreat on behalf of
her case before the French courts.

INVENTS A NEW TYPE PLANE.

London, June IA new type of air.
plane, which can be handled as easily

invented by Vittorio %Isacco. right hand
man to Signor Pescara, the famous Span.
ish inventor.
Claims are made that the new airplane
is automatic in stability and combines the
ability to ascend or descend vertically, to
hover motionless, and to travel horizon
tally at high speed. The machine, which
has been constructed in secret near
Paris. will shortly undergo tests.
In a body resembling that of an air.
plane, the pilot sits at a steering-wheeI
like that of an automobile. Over his
head, mounted on a metal column, is an
, 1926-07-03

arrangement of revolving wings in which
are sunk small engines and prOpellors.
When these engines are started they
spin the curved wings, revolving with
them, and as soon as this spinning mo-
ton is sufficiently rapid the machine
rises smoothly. When the pilot has
gained the height he desires he can, by
a simple clutch mechanism, bring into
play a forward engine which, while the
motor driven vanes continue to support
the weight of the machine, enables it to
travel horizontally.
Three small separate engines are EN-

ployed, and the risk of mechanical break
down is said to have been practically
eliminated %Isacco, who is understood to
have staked his entire fortune on the
production of the machine, holds the
view that it solves the problem of a fool

BROTHERS and Mice Faithful

letters to the Itapian papers saying
he disapproved of Ricciotti and rec
oguazed no connection with him.
Brothers and Mice Faithful
But the accused man is not en-
tirely forsaken. One brother, Gen.
Peppino Garibaldi, came over from
his home in the United States to
stand by him. Another, Sante Carl
baldi, a building contractor in Paris,
is equally jealous on his behalf. And
in his prison cell he has three mice
which he has made his friends. He
spends his time teaching them tricks.
Ricciotti for three weeks has been
the storm center of the greatest ex-
element France has known since
the war itself. Mussolini's friends
claim that all the plots against his
life have been Matched on French
soil. The outburst came when the
French police squelched two things:
l. A plot of Catalan Spaniards.
headed by Col. Francesca Macia, to
march little army from France
across the border and proclaim a
separate Catalonia.
2. A plot to send more agii
tators into Italy.
The French police discovered that
a high Italian police official named
Lapolla had come to Nice secretly
and acted mysteriously. They
bounced him across the border, but
his papers connected him with
Colonel Garibaldi. The latter has
lived in Nice since the war. He was
taken from his villa to a police sta.
ton where the authorities pitilessly
pelted him with questions.
Later they permitted so much to
seep out that French newspapers
and Italian anti-Fascist papers in
France charged that Garibaldi was
a double-dyed traitor.
They asserted that while posing az
an anti-Fascist, he was in reality in
the pay OF the Fascist police, having
drawn from them over 100000 lire.
They charge that he tipped off all
the doings of his comrades and many
