6 KAISER'S SISTER | DIES IN POVERTY Death Ends One of Strangest| Romances of European Royalty. By the Associated Press. BONN, Prussia, November 13 —Frau Alexander Zubkoff, 63, sister of the. former Kaiser, and grandchild of the | British Queen, Victoria, died today at | I PRINCESS DIES IN POVERTY | St. Pranciscus' Hospital here, ending one of the strangest romances written | into the records of European ro; Death came while she slept, a.m., and followed a brief illnes y after her hus- | Russian ad- | venturer, who was 34 years her junior, | was served with divorce papers on her behalf. Frau Zubkoff, when she married la in 1927, renounced her rights as pri cess, and accepted estrangement from her family. Members here today at her | death were her “baby"” sister, Margue- | rite, Princess von Hesse; her husband, Prince Frederick Charles, and their two | sons, Christof and Richard. Auctioned Off Heirlooms. Just a month ago she was forced to auction off heirlooms of great value to | Ey the debts of her adventurer hus- | nd, but she succeeded in raising only | & small amount. | By her first marriage the former incess was Princess of Schaumburg | ippe, wife of Prince Adolphe of that ¢ house. He died in 1916, and for yvears | she lived side by side with other mem- | bers of the Hohenzollern and Schaum- burg Lippe families. All suffered re- verses as result of the war, of course. but their lot was exalted compared | to what awaited Victoria. | In 1927 she met Zubkoff, 29 years old, who was said to have represented himself to her as a Russian emigre of d family, but was believed really to ve been the son of a cobbler and | to have worked at such professions as waiter and gigolo in a Paris dance hall. | ‘They were married despite the opposi- ' tion of the former Kaiser and others of her family, who forced her to re- nounce her royal standing before she | ‘went ahead with the latter-life romance. | Zubkoff Attracted Attention. No sooner had they been married at | Bonn than young Zubkoff began to attract attention to himself with esca- pades in public houses, affairs with other women and numerous tilts with the authorities over such matters as bad ecks. He finally was expelled from Ger- many, then from Belgium and at, various times later had trouble finding able residence in several countries Europe. Victoria eontracted & chill while tak- ing her customary lonely walk Novem- ber 5. She refused to see a doctor at first, but when finally one was called | in he found her condition serious, with acute inflammation of the lungs. ‘The princess entered St. Franciscus’; Hospital last Thursday. For some time her condition varied, but on Monday @ relapse set in. She weakened rapidly yesterday and death came this morning. | ‘The body will be taken to Princess L‘Imetlwl castle, in Gronberg, for LOCAL DRUG STORES | OUTLINE CAMPAIGN| Independenfs Seek Support of Trade Groups and Merchants.
