WEDDING PLOT.
LAID To RYAN
COUNTESS

NEW YORK, July IL U.N.S0.
The childish beauty of 20-year-old
Countess Marie-Ann Won Wurm-
brand-Stuppach met with no chiv-
airy in the American courts to-
day.
Referee Ralph o. L. Fay re-
ported to the supreme court that
her marriage to Clendennin ].
Ryan, jr., was the result Of "a
conspiracy" His report was
virtually a recommendation that
the annullment Mrs. Ryan is seek
ing be granted.
He supported virtually all the
contentious of the heir of Thomas
Fortune Ryan and killed the
hopes Of the young countess who
Is now in Vienna.
Traded Wedding Gifts
Referee Fay reported that the
countess had had no intention Of
actually becoming the wife of
young Ryan.
Her intentions were, he said,
to return to Count vladimir
Mittrowsky with a substantial
financial settlement" from the
dissolution Of her marriage.
After her marrniage, the re-
port stated, she denied her en-
braces to her husband on
various false pretenses."
She even traded in wedding
gifts at Tiffany's, the referee
found, for a watch which she
sent to Count Mittrowsky with
the inscription:
II am with you every hour"
MOTHER IN PLOT
Mr.. Fay's report, written after
much testimony, was taken be-
hind closed doors in the absence
of the Countess, is now before
Justice Salvatore Gothic for final
action. It tells q strange story.
In November, 1888, Fay re-
ported, the countess, her mother
and Count Mittrowsky met in
Austria and conceived a con-
Spiracy" that 18-year-old Marie.
Ann should go to America and
marry q millionaire.
They persuaded one Max Aus
nit and certain others to finance
the trip, Mr.. Fay added.
In an effort to speed matters
up with young Ryan, the report
said. she told him that her
mother was violently opposed
to marriage with an American"
So they married in haste in st.
Patrick's Cathedral in February,
1884, to avoid maternal Inter.
ference" according to the referee.

the hill would have been wiped out

In the mining districts, where
thousands of men have returned 10

chants laid in heavier stocks, and
prepared for buying wave ex-
pected to increase right up to the
end of the season.
With welfare officials able to an

that there was job for every re-
lief family with a member able to

Christmas apparently extended to
the majority of Arizona citizens OF

Payment to Works Progress ad-
miniitration employees will nave
totaled more than $35O,0OO before

In Globe, Superior, Miami, Bis
bee, Douglas, Ajo, Jerome, Clark
dale and Clemenceau nearly 5000
miners prepared to spend Christ
mas checks, for many the first
Christmas money outside of relief
funds since 1882 or 1881.
In hundreds of smaller mines
where stimulation has been more
marked, miners pay checks were
counted on to swell the volume of
holiday trade. Many smaller miners
communities have reported no un-
employment for the first time since
beginning of the depression.

creased 13 46 per cent in Maricopa
county, and 9.38 per cent in the

mining through reopening of cop

Prices for holiday shoppers were
slightly higher than those of last
