ROVALTY IMIPLICATED Name of Kaiser's Sister Brought Into Harden Libel Case. TOLD OF COURT CAMARILLA Prin Charlotte von Saxe-Meningen Gave the Accused Editor Informa- tion Conoerning “the Group Near the Person of the Emperor.” Berlin, Dec. 831.—The name of Prin- ceas Charlotte von Saxe-Meningen, the eldest sister of Emperor Willlam, was brought into the Harden-Von Moltke libel case as the person who had sup- plied Maximilian Harden with the in- formation concerning the Zu Eulen burg “group” near the person of the emperor, upon which Hardem _based his campaign against the so-called camarilla. Harden had two meetings with the princess, seemingly at her request. Professor Schweninger, who was pres- ent at these interviews, gave a brief account of them in a deposition. Gen- qral Count Wilhelm von Hohenau was mentioned at these meetings, but no reforence was made to Count Kuno von Moltke. Princess Charlotte and the emperor have been on cool terms for several gers. The late Prince Bernhard, Busband of the princess, was long op- posed to the influence of Prince Philip zu Fulenburg at court. It is apparent that the princess did not forget this foeud and that she has been instru. mental in ruining Zu Eulenburg's repu- tation and his consequent loss of favor with the emperor. ¥ ‘When court resumed Harden ap- peared to be very weak, while Count Kuno von Moltke was exceedingly cheerful and keenly interested in the proceedings. The evidence of Profes- sor Schweninger, wko was physician to the late Prince von Bismarck, was read to the court. The professor de- clared that he had no ill feeling against Von Moltke in spite of the coolness existing between the count and Mrs. Schweninger. Harden, the professor set forth, had met the hereditary Princess of Saxe-Melningen twice in his presence in the course of visits at Schweneck. On one of these occasions the princess talked about General Count Wilhelm von Hohenau and expressed her sorrow that “such degeneracy should occur in high eir- cles.” Of Political Significance Only. Professor Schweninger deposed that he was very much astonished when, following the appearance of the art- fcles in Die Zukunft, the excitement against Harden broke out. He could not understend the reason, as the art- icles were not intended to have a per- sonal, but only a political significance, Continuing, Professor Schweninger says he considered Mrs. von Elbe, the divorced wife of Count von Moltke, to be mentally sound and not likely to suffer illusions. He consequently be- lieved her original assertions. She had related many incidents of the count’s violence in which he appeared to be blameable. The state then introduced witnesses whose testimony tended to discredit Mrs, von Elbe. Baroness Swassen gave testimony to the effect that Mrs, von Elbe, during her first marriage with Von Kruse, acted dissolutely; she mentioned various details. Countess Dancelmann swore to cir- cumstances detrimental to Mrs. von Elbe and to Count von Moltke’s en- thusiastic admiration of his flancee during their engagemeént. Count Kuno von Moltke himself then took the stand. He declared that he had hardly slept for two months. He rejected the statement that he habitu- ally used cotmetics to beautify his ap- pearance, but said he was in the habit of using smelling salts. He explained the notorious handkerchief incident by declaring that owing to the jealousy of his wife he refrained for several weeks from visiting Zu Eulenburg’s house, although his office was in the bullding. After a scene with his wife one day he picked up a handkerchief belong- ing to Zu Eulenburg and kissed it in an affectionate manner to see whether or not this would provoke an outbreak of jealousy from the countess, Mr. Magnus Hirschfeld, who at the last trial swore that Von Moltke was abnormal, was severely cross-examined and withdrew his previous statements. SUFFERS EIGHTEEN MONTHS Woman Who Attempted Suicide by ¢ Swallowing Needles. New York, Dec. 31.—Mrs. Mollie Desmond, who attempted to commit sulcide eighteen months ago by swal- lowing a package of 144 needles, is dead after physicians had made twen- ty-five surgical operations upon her and had removed all but a dozen of the needles. Domestic troubles in- duced Mrs. Desmond to try this extra- ordinary method of sulcide in June, 1906, when she swallowed a set of needles varying in size from a darn- ing needle to the smallest used in fine sewing. She had been an inmate of a hospital ever since and the physi- clans have made an unceasing search for the needles as they moved about in her body threatening the vital or- gans. In all 132 of them were re- moved and the doctors were begin- ning to believe there were none re- maining when a pain in the region of the heart warned them that there was still danger. 'An operation failed to disclose the location of the needle and while they were trying other means to find it death intervened. . An antopsy will be made to deter- mine whether one of the needles pene- trated Mrs. Desmond’s heart or whether death was caused by peritoni- tis, George A. Pettibone Il Bofse, Ida., Dec. 31.—The fillness of G. A. Pettibone has caused an” ad- Jjournment of his trial. Pettibone be- came violently ill and was taken to a hospital. For a time his condition ‘Wag extremely oritical, but much im- provement in his condition is reperted. REPLIES TO MQFFETT, Herbert Knox Smith Justifies 8tand- ard Oll Fine. Washingion, Dec, 31.—A reply has at last been issued by the bureau of corporations to James A. Moffett, pres- ident of the Standard Ofl company of Indiana, who declared at the time the fine of $29,240,000 was imposed against his company by Judge Landls that it was not justified, as there was no: dis- crimination involved in the rate paid on the shipment of oll from Chicago to HERBERT KNOX 8MITH. East St. Louis and that the action of the court was based on a mere tech- nical violation of law. Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith presents a statement of facts in oppo- sition to this view, not-only to show that a -discrimination was practiced but that it was practiced with the knowledge of the Standard Oil com- pany and of the Chicago and Alton railroad. SECRETARY TAFT IN BOSTON Makes First Public Utterances Since Return From Trip. Boston, Dec. 31.—Secretary of War Taft made his first public utterance since his world circling tour in this city. Although coming to Boston principally as the guest of the Mer- chants’ association Secretary Taft consented to meet many persons in other walks of life and a programme which included a brief address to leading ministers at the regular week- ly gathering of Congregational di- vines, luncheon with Governor Guild and a reception by the Jews of the city at the Elysium club was arranged. Upon leaving the train from Wash- ington Secretary Taft was driven to the home of Samuel Carr, a Boston banker and a relative of Mrs. Taft. There breakfast was served, but only a few persons outside the immediate family were present. It was expected that a brief automobile trip would occupy an hour during the forenoon, but a heavy rain storm prevented. Progress in the Philippines, polit- ically; educationally and sanitary, all tending to ultimate self-government, was the basis of the address of Sec- retary Taft before 400 Boston minis- ters. Secretary Taft spent consider- able time in refuting the argument of the so-called anti-imperialists, the ma- Jority of whose advocatés, he seemed to think, belonged to Boston. He said that with only 7 per cent of the in- habitants of the Philippines sufficient- 1y educated to understand ‘self-govern- ment it would be dangerous to give the islands over at this time. COMMIT DASTARDLY DEED Burglars Bind Railroad Agent and Then Fire Station. Clarington, O., Dec. 31.—Edward Hutchinson, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station agent here, was robbed and murdered and the station burned over his head. While the railroad offi- cials will not talk about the case it is said that the murderers got away with a large sum of money. The burglars bound and gagged Hutchinson. After taking his watch and money they then ransacked the station. The theory advanced to pos- sibly explain the cold blooded murder of the station agent is that the bur- glarg recognized him and were recog- nized in turn. Hutchinson came here three months ago from Newark, O. The burglars evidently decided to burn Hutchinson as he lay bound in order to conceal their identity, TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY TDtke LAXA;l‘lvdE BBOM?‘ Q“:Ilil:fle 'l"'sblcts. fund money 5 10 cure, .,E.mfi‘sfi"sfl(r)evfi'fi signature is on each box 25¢ BATH ROOMS In the Masonic building Open Day and Night Turkish Baths 5 Prof. J.
