BARONESS' SUICIOE: - LETTER WITHHELD Lovely Vienna Wife Ended | Life on Learning Princely Lover Was Shot. By the Associated Pres: VIENNA, june 7.—The tragedy of | the sulcide of Baroness Klinger, one | of Austria’s most beautiful women, and the fight in the forest between her princely Russian admirer, Cyril Viad- tmor Orloff, and her husband, Baron | Klinger, has been described by Orloff | to his attorney. Both men were se- rlously wounded, Klinger being shot in the lung and Orloff having his arm blown off by a hunting gun in the hands of the aggrieved hushand. According to Prince Orloff’s account, he entered the forest, after driving from Vienna to Raab and calling on the baroness, in order to plead with Baron Klinger to release his wife, S0 that he might marry her: Hot words passed between the men and the rince, observing that the baron had is gun ready and cocked and fearing | an attack, fired first. The baron re. plied with'the contents of his gun. Letter Kept Secret. The father of Baroness Klinger re- fnses to divulge the contents of a part- ing letter which his daughter ad- dressed to him before sh2 killed her- self on hearing of the desperate quar- Pel and its outcome. It was learned, however, from other sources that a mensational turn in the tragedy is im- pending from unexpected quarters. It is believed that a number of arrests will be made of persons with whom Prince Orloff associated in Vienna, who will be questioned relative to pre- ceding events. Thgse include young, Hungarian students and Baron Em- merich von Somogvi, who accompanied the prince to Raab. Baroness Klinger was buried yester- flay. her father, Count Spiegelfeld, her brother and sister and all the tenants and villagers following the body to the graveside. The count, grief- stricken, sald that his daughter, upon learning of the encounter in the woods, became extremely excited when she heard that Prince Orloff was badly wounded. Thereupon the sheriff sum- moned her next day to give evidence. Next day, however, after breakfast, she went to her bedchamber, wrote fare- well letters, ordered her carriage, gave the letters to a rmaid and re-entered her room. Found Her Unconscious. "The next “moment,” sald Count Spiegelfeld, “a shot was heard and | when 1 rushed into my daughter's room 1 found her unconscious and ! dying.” | The chauffeur who drove Prince | Orloff from Vienna to Raab relates ! that when conveving the prince, Who | was bleeding badly, from Raab after ! the' encounter, they met a farm- er's cart on which Baron Klinger was being borne to, the hospital. = When the baron saw his antagonist in the automobile he raised himself on his elbow and shook his fist at him.

Another incentive to the develop- ment of a great colony of riders in Washington was given vesterday when a party of prominent assembled at “The Jump: Creek Park and matched skill over the high timbers for a new cup, to he known henceforth as the Rock Creek challenge cup. | The gathering was brought about through the efforts of F. €. Montouri, himself an expert horseman. In ad- dition to the cup a handsome trophy, worth $150, and a number of cash prizes were offered. The Rock Creek challenge cup promises, however, to become one of the m trophies in the equine w ington. Sixteen mounts were entered in yesterday’s initial trial. The timber toppers were called upon to clear 10 jumps, ranging from 2!-foot brush to the five-foot post and rail, with stiff timber and stone walls mingled in between to test the mettle of horge and rider. All of the entries were seasoned fox and drag hunters. Capt. Williamson Wins. Capt. Royden Williamson, on his mare, Becky - Sharp, carried off the honors by being the only entry to chalk up a clean score, without a touch. Thereupon Capt. Willlamson berame the ‘“cup defender” and he maintains possession of the trophy until he is challenged to a “jump-off,” which may be done every Sunday morning at 11230 o'clock. To assumeé possession of the cup the challenger must then equal Capt. ‘Williamson'’s perfect score and finally defeat him in the “jump-off.” Careful scores will be kept and the final con- tests probably will be staged at the Natlonal Capital horse show next May, when the successful candidate wlll obtain permanent possession of the troph Miss Mattie M.

By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.—Smould- ering ruins of a dozen residences, partial destruction of 25 others, and Ewing Fleld, former Pacific Coast League base ball park, remain as charred reminders of a conflagration Saturday, which is described by authorities as the most serious fire menace San Francisco has experienced since 1906. - The fire, starting at Ewing Field in the late afternoon, developed into a roaring glant of destruction that consumed approximately $200,000 of property, brought injuries to 14 per- sons and made many families home- less. The western residential section of the city was threatened by the fire, which lasted three hours. A lighted match or cigarette drop- ped through the seats of the grand- stand during a base ball game is belleved to have started the fire. ‘The flames leaped the street from the ball park to invade Calvary Ceme- tery and left trails of blackened tombstones, withered grass and scorched trees. The razed section is in the west central part of the city, a few blocks north _of the Pan Handle of Golden Gate Park. PLANES’ USE LIMITED.
