The name of Lieut. Sprinkle Is the tenth to be added to the list of those charged with conspir agdinst the government in the last few da. Came to D. C. From Ohio, Lieut. Sprinkle came here from Ohio several years prior to the time of his appointment and was a harness maker. Having received promotions through the grades, he was made a lieutenant July 1. 1906, shortly after the tragic death of Capt. W. H. Mat- thews, who was slain by a fellow member of the force while serving as commanding officer of the fifth pre- nkle was transferred from one precinct to another, his last transfer being from the second to the eleventh precinct, Anacostia, exchanging de- s with Lieut. M. L. Ready. It is stated that the lleutenant had been an oceasional visitor to the place of business of James Hunter, 819 D street, who was arrested Wednesday afternoon, and that he was there at the time Hunter was arrested. Say Little Liguor Found. Search of Hunter's place, it 1s stated, failed to reveal the quantity of liquor the federal agents expected they would find. It is said that a one- half bottle of alleged whisky was all that was found on the premises. Hunter is alleged to have made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy the liquor by hurling the bottle down the steps. The bottle did not break, how- ever, It is stated, and was seized by the federal agents. Another arrest In the two-sided round-up on W nesday by internal revenue agents came to light today, when it was learned that Sergt. Ralph McCulloch, on Army recruit- ing duty at the land office building, had been arrested in connection with the disappearance of supplies from the Army and Navy commissary, at 20th and B strects, and had been surrendered to the military authori- i ties. These were the latest developments revealed today in the round-up by Internal revenue agents under Chief Eimer C. Irey, of eight other men, six of whom have been charged with conspiracy to violate the Volstead act, and two of whom are charged with a conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the commissary. Two Plots Charged. The two alleged plots against the government, according to Mr. Irey, were in reality separate, although the revenue agents ran into the trail of one while running down the other, and discovered, they say, that a group of customers had been buying goods alleged to have been stolen from the commissary, and also buying from the bootleggers liquor alleged to been brought into Washington from southern states by Pullman porters. What military authoritles will do in the case of Sergt. McCulloch was not indicated today, but Mr. Irey said he had been surrendered for court- martial, The Army sergeant was working with Marvin Lusby, 421 Sth street southeast, a butcher in the commis- sary, and Lincoln Wedel, an auditor in the income tax division of the in- ternal revenuc bureau, it is charged by the revenue agents. Lusby and Wedel were released on bond pending hearing before a United States com- missioner. Wedel, it was said at the Treasury today, would be suspended from the service of the government pending his trial.

Sweeping denial, documentary evidence, of charges that she had committed bigamy by marrying Prince Nicholas von der | Lippe‘Lipsky, former page to the| Czar of Russia, while her first hus- band, Charles Lee Philllps, was alive, was made today by the Princess Elalne von der Lippe-Lip: A In the first direct answer she has madein person to the accusations of substantiated by ‘STAR, - WASHINGTON, her royal husband. Princess Elaine denled that she had deceived him by misrepresenting herself to be a widow and declared that she does not know even now that her first husband is alive, despite his reported emergence from obscurity last summer. The prince and princess had already broken, it is understood, when Mr. Phillips 1s sald to have returned from obscurity after an unbroken absence of fifteen years. With the Teappearence of the first husband, however, Prince Nicholas announced that he, would sue for annulment of his marriage to Princess Elaine. Presents Documenty, Princess lafne, who has just re- turned to Washington, showed offictal papers, signed by Edwin Kobert Wadker, a former chancellor of New Jersey, stating that in April, 1916, that official had granted her a_de- cree nist of divorce from Mr. Phil- iy The final ree, which became (-‘(l ctive six months later, when Mr. Phlllips feiled to contest the sult, Is in the o fice of a Washington law- ver, the princess asserted.

Princess Elaine said that the activ- ities of her husband and other per- sons related to her had very nearly injured her in her activitfes for the veterans of the world war. By giv- ing the world to understand that she had committed bigamy, Princess Elaine declared, her social position had been undermined and that she has becn forced to answer the at- tacks, despite her desire to keep out of what she described as “filthy case.” The princess has instituted pro- ceedings for divorce from the prince and has filed summons In_a sult against her sister, Mrs. Gertrude Schroeder, charging her with being the other woman” in the alienation of her royal husband’s affections. Princess Elaine was well known in exclusive social circles here as Mrs Wendell Philllps, she having discard- ed her first husband's name because, she said, it had become so distaste- ful to her. She was the mother of Lieut. Wen- dell K. Phillips, who was kiiled in an airplane accident near Baltimore while en roulc to Washington. The crash occurred Jast summer, and both she and the Prince Nicholas'came here to attend the funeral, both accom- panying the body ro is last regting place in Arlington Natlonal cemetery, NEWCASTLE CONSULATE ISSUE FACING DELAY Further delay In adjustment of the incident at Newcastle, England, which resulted in the closing of the Ameri- can consulate is anticipated by of- ficlals here, despite the optimistic view expressed by Ambassador Har- vey just before his return from Lon- don. Tt was sald today at the State De- partment that the Newcastle situation remained “‘unchanged” and it was in- dicated that no plan for reopening the consulate was now belng con- sidered at the department. Officials would not comment on cable aispatches from London quoting Mr. Harvey as saying that the case had been satisfactorily adjusted, but it was indicated that no present pros- pect 1s seen here for the reopening of the consular office.

After several generations, the estate deacended to Caleb Key, who was pre- siding elder of the Methodist Church at Ga. He wrote the administra- tors that he was interested in religion, not money, and didn’t ‘want the estate. The administrators held the property, much of which they leased for ninety- nine years. Wh’en Key died he left two heirs, Mrs. Mahone and & son, Joseph, who was a Methodist preacher in Texas. Joseph, like his father, was too much interested in religion to bother about the estate, and Mrs. Mahone, happily married and absorbed in bables and housekeeping, was too busy to take the necessary legal steps to make good her claim.. 2 Three Divide §10,000,000, It wasn't until the death of her husband, after her children had grown up, tha ps_were taken to clalm the estate.

BROADWAY STARTLED. Mystery Surrounding Reports of Divorce Suddenly Ends. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 30.—Broad- way was startled today when dis- patches were received from Chicago telling of the mardage of Irene Castle, the dancer, to Frederick Mc- Laughlin, wealthy Chicago coffee merchant. Considerable mystery of late has surrounded the matrimonial affairs of the stage star credited with haying introduced the bobbed-head and many intricate dance steps to America. On July 30, after dispatches from abroad told of the French divorce the dancer had obtained from Robert E. Treman, the dancer arrived on the ship before the Ithaca manufacturer and vigorously denled she had ob- tained a Paris decree. The dancer for a long time has been one of Broadway's most dashing fig- ures, and her fads in footwear have been closely followed. She was married to Treman, a Cor- nell_graduate and a captain in the A. E.F., in the Little Church Around the Corner, on May 4, 1919, following a report which both denfed that they previously had been secretly wed shortly after Capt. Vernon Castle, the dancer's first husband, with whom shie appeared for years on the stage, had been killed in an airplane accl- dent in Fort Worth, Tex., while serv- ing in the Royal Flying Corps. Although Miss Castle ‘made her stage debut in a charity production in her home town—New Rochelle, N. Y.—and later studied fancy Spanish dancing in Mexico, she did riot achieve fame until she and her husband ac- cepted an_invitation to dance in the Cafe de Paris after they were vir- tually stranded abroad.
