PRINCESS ELOPES
WITH AUTO AGENT |
Vienna Court Circles Abuzz
Concerning Latest Esca
pade of Royal Maid.
. Vienna, May 26—Court circles are
" in a fnror caused by the announce
ment that the Princess Ainelie Louise
has eloped with an automobile agent.
One of the most vivacious and beau
tiful women of the Austrian court
Princess Amelio has by her scorn of
-the conventionalities furnished many
delicious morsels for the gossips to
' roll under their tongues but this
latest escapade transcends anything
ever conceived of by those most fa
miliar with her peculiarities.
Now that the princess has taken
her future into her own embrace and
has flown with the man of htr choice
, it is recalled that for some time she
lias been more or less inclined to
absent herself from her associates,
and of a sudden developed an amaz
- ing interest in automobiling. The
man with whom she eloped is de
clared by those who have met him
to be a fascinat ing fellow and possess
ed of many social graces.
The present whereabouts of the
princess and her lover, if known to
her immediate relatives, are kept
secret, and so is the future course to
be pursued with regard to the impul
sive young woman. It. is believed
probable, however, that she will be
brought back and placed in semi
confinement, either in Vienna or in
some of the nearby provinces.
VICTORIA BOATS
OUT OF RUNNING
Washington, May 23—The senate,

Canadian Pacific Steamship Com
pany's aspirations to become a factor
in the Seattle-Alaska business. The
bill passed today provides that no
foreign ships shall carry passengers
from Puget Sound ports to Alaska.
Heretofore the law providing that
foreign vessels shall not transport
passongers or freight between two
ports in the United States lifts been
circumvented by the Canadian Pacific
taking passengers to Victoria and
then reshipping them to Alaska
points. The Piles bill provides for
the enforcement of the intent of the
old law.

WOMAN'S CASE 1
GOES TO PIECES
Senator Piatt Wins and Mae
Woods Is Sent to Jail
for Perjury.
New York, May 23—Just when it.
wus looking its bent for her, the ease
brought by Mae Woods against Sena
tor Piatt for a divorce went up in
smoke, the court deciding for the
Honator and the woman was ordered
confined to the Tombs until such
ti ne as she can be tried for perjury.
The testimony of a printer and of a
stationer proved the undoing of Mrs.
Woods, for it proved conclusively
that she had forged the documents
purporting to be records of her mar
riage to Senator Piatt.
The printer swore that the certifi
cates offered in evidence had not
been printed until a year after the
woman said they were signed, and
the stationer swore that he had sold
the certificates to Mrs. Woods.
According to District Attorney
Jerome Mrs. Woods is to be made a
"terrible example" for other adven
turesses. She still insists that she is
the wife of Senator Piatt but however
that may be she has been refused
bail and will probalby be con lined in
her cell until she can be tried on the
perjury charge.
LAD CONFESSES
TO BOLD GDI!
Spokane, May 23—Harry Russell, a
10-year-old boy was the person who
assaulted the agent and robbed the
railroad station at Elk, Washington,
of $r>00 a week ago. Russell has con
fessed and his confession has been
substantiated, impossible as it may
seem. The "bold robber" looks no
more than Ids years would indicate
and it was only after he had des
cribed in detail the methods by which
the crime was committed, these de
tails being in accord with tin* facts
not made public, that the oflieers
realized that he was telling the truth.
Charles Wheeler, who confessed to
the crime after being sweated by the
police, is shown by Russell's confes
sion to have had nothing to do with
the robbery and he has been given
his freedom.

IS TO BE SOUGHT
Men of Wrecked Vessel Be
lieved to Be on Deserted
Island in Pacific.
Now York, May 25—Believing that
thirty-five of the men who made up
the crow of the lost ship Arthur Sow
all are alive on some desert island in
the Pacific thoHo who owned the craft
are making arrangements to send a
search party to the rescue. The Sow
all was lost about a year ago while
enroute from Philadelphia to Seattle
and for a long time it was believed
that all on board had perished. A
couple of mouths ago, however, throe
men of the crew were picked up on
an island and wore brought to this
city. These men expressed the belief
that their fellows were on some is
land as the entire crew succeeded
in safely getting away from the ves
sel.
More or less mystery seems to have
surrounded the Sowall affair and now,
after her loss lias been generally ac
cepted as a foregone conclusion
Lloyds has just posted her as miss
ing.

STEAMSHIP IN
KILLED BY TRAIN
W. E. Doyle, Purser of the
Seward, Is Run Over on j
Trestle at Cordova.
\V. E. Doylo, purser of tho freighter
Seward, was run over and instantly |
killed by a freight train on the rail
road between the Cordova dock and
and the town early Thursday morning.
Both legs were eut off below the knee.
A coroner's inquest returned a verdict
of accidental death.
Doyle had been up town all even
ing with the llrst mate of the Seward,
J. I). Osborn, and both had beon
drinking heavily. About 1 o'clock
they started for t he boat. A short
distance out of town E. W. Scott of
the railroad commissary met them.
Doyle then was walking several
hundred feet ahead of the mate and
eaeli man was plainly much the worse
for liquor. A little later a brakcman
standing on the front end of a string
of cars which an engine was pushing
toward town saw the body of a man
lying across the track just ahead on a
long trestle. The body was betweon
the rails and the legs lying across a
rail. The brakcman signaled but be
fore the engine could stop the first
car had passed over Doyle. The car
cleared tho body.
It is believed that Doyle slipped and
fell and was probably stunned and
helpless until he was run down. A
gash on his head showed that he had
fallen heavily and struck some hard
object.
m i oruova tiiriv is Home suspicion
of foul play, founded upon several
peculiar circumstances. It is claimed
that if Doyle fell where the train
struck him it was impossible that the
wound on his head could have been
inflicted by any object within reach.
It is insisted also that the wound had
the appearcnee of boiiifv the result of
a blow.
When Scott met the mate the latter
was sitting on a rail a few hundred
feet nearer town than the place where
Doyle was killed, lie was in a stupor
and Scott roused him and told him he
had better go on and overtake the
purser, whose almost helpless condi
tion Scott had noticed. The mate
then got up and walked on.
Doyle was a young man and had
been married only a few months.
He was formerly clerk of the Sarato
ga and was a very capable and popu
lar man. He was a nephew of ('apt.
Jarvis.
