JERUSALEM. MAY
 SEE MARTIALLAW
British Troops Are Held in Readiness; Arabs, Jews
 in Deadly Riots

Jerusalem, July British troops were held in readiness today for the possible proclamation of martial law to Arab-Jew rioting in which more than 30 have been killed and nearly 100 injured in the last two days.
 The curfeW regulations were ex- tended both in Jerusalem and Haifa centers of the most serious trouble.
 Authorities were baffled by the necessity of guarding both the Jew ish and Arab quarters by British police, because the Jews distrust the Arab police and the Arabs distrust the Jewish police. The British of ficers were exhausted after 18 hours of continuous duty.
 Second Day of Terror
 The second day of terror started in Jerusalem when an Arab Lemon- ade vendor, whose picturesque ap- pearance has caused him to be pho- tographed by thousands of American tourists, was killed at his stand near David's tower by a bomb thrown in- to throng of Arabs.
 Two women, child and six men, all Arabs, were wounded by the bomb, which opened another day of terror One Jew was shot dead and seven were wounded at Haifa, where one of the most serious clashes in all Jewish-Arab outbreaks occurred yesterday. Throughout the country tension was at a new high. Among Jews and Arabs alike there was a feeling of insecurity, and forebod- ing of riots to come, which made the atmosphere explosive.

 Made That He Caused Trouble
BY HENRY TOSTI RUSSELL Copyright, 1888, by United Press)


 London, July 2 CUP)-A social triumph which back fired caused the final marital rift between Countess Barbara Haugwitz-Rev- entloW and her husband, circles closely connected with the couple said today.
 Prince Frederick of Prussia, grandson of the former German Kaiser. was mentioned as the un- witting center of the dispute, and as the man whom, according to testimony at Bow street police court Tuesday, Count Court Haug- witz-Reventlow thre tened to shoot like dog.'
 The prince came to London mainly to study British financial and business methods. A bachelor, 26, handsome, he mingled in the best London society and according to gossip was eyed by many blue blooded mothers as an ideal hus- band for their debutante daugh- terS.
 Is Social Prize
 
 He is a social prize, and accord ing to informants, Count Haug- Witz-ReventloW, in the social sense begged him to be guest at Win field House, the countess home here where she embarked on 6 London social career.
 The story went that the countess liked the prince and that the count became angry.
 Prince Frederick, according to informants, seemed unaware that he was the center of anybody's in- terest or that the social courtesies which he had received were caus- ing trouble.
 The count, according to inform ants, became increasingly anxious at the friendship between his wife and the prince and finally de- manded that the countess stop seeing him.
 $5,OOO,O00 Explained
 Informants then explained the circumstances of an alleged de- mand for $5,0OO,000 by the count as the price of a separation. At torneys for the countess mention ed such a demand at the Bow street hearing.

 The letter by MT. Scanlon is an answer to statement of 10 days ago by MT. Kiernan that the Inde- pendent Democratic party "is not the party of Senator George Gull hane". MT. Kiernan asserted that Senator Culhane was speaking for himself, and not for the party when he announced plans to enter state ticket in the field in the fall elec- tions.

 If MT. Edward c. Kiernan, who is octing as the spokesman to the pcvSs for Chairman Hartley and John F.
