SORROWS END FOR FRANCIS JOSEPH, BELOVED MONARCH Emperor of Austria Was Bowed Down by Weight of Years of Sadness REIGN WAS LONGEST KNOWN TO HISTORY | Grim Fate Struck Blow After Blow to | Heads of House of Hapsburg and Death Came While He Was in Har- ness, His Only Solace from Grief— Emperor Willlam May Attend His Funeral, London, Nov. 22.—Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria practically died in harness, according to an Amsterdam degpatch to the Central News. The despatch says that the emperor rose at his usual hour on Tuesday and en- gaged in governmental busines. He received his daughter, the Arch- duchess Marie Valerie, at 8 wo'clock, and two hours later gave an audience to Foreign Minister Burian, In the afternoon his condition grew worse and in the early evening his tempera- ture also rose and the physicians realized that death was approaching. It is reparted in Berlin that Emperor Willlam will attend the funeral. Contracted Cold While Exercising. Paris, Nov. 22, 1:16 a. m.—The death of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria was caused by a cold which the aged monarch caught while walk- ing in Schoenbrun Park ten days ago with the king of Bavaria, according to a Zurich despatch to the Parisien. | The cold developed into pneumonia of the right lung. When it was realized yesterday that the emperor’s condition was serious, his daughter, Arch- duchess Marie Valerie, and his nephews, the Archdukes Charles Francis, heir appafént, and Joseph F’ederlck were summoned to the bedslde, Vienna Startled by News. London, Nov. 22, 11:30 a. m.—The death of Emperor Francis Joseph has caused notable emotion in Vieuna, says the Exchange Telegraph com- pany’s Amsterdam correspondent. he general public was not aware of the serious nature of his illness, ac- cording to these advices, because of the non-committal character of the ! bulletins issued. The emperor, the despatch adds, was feverish yesterday, being unable to eat his evening meal and retired at | 7 o'clock, assisted to his bed chamber by his daughter, Archduchess Valerie. K& found himself unable to sleep and asked that his physiclans be sum- moned, complaining of pains in the throat. At 9 o'clock he appeared to be In & more restful state. A few moments later, according to the de- tails received, ‘the doctors saw him and he made a gesture, pointing to his throat. A second afterward he ‘was dead. S The members of the imperial fam- fly were immedlately summoned, as were the officlals of state, who pre- pared an announcement of the death. Emperor Willlam was immediately informed of the passing of his ally, the message being sent over the telephone which links the headquarters of the German army with Shoenbrun palace. Wothing has yet been decided, it is #ald with regard to the new emperor's accession. Paris Matin Bitter, Paris, Nov. 22, 7 a. m.—Although no official confirmation of the death of Emperor Francis Joseph had been | received in Paris early this morning, ‘the press generally accepted the news as authentic. In their comment the newspapers are merclless. The Matin says: “The sinister old man who for sixty- elght years wore the double crown disappears too soon, notwithstanding his elghty-six yoars, for he has not seen the approaching hour of expla- “tlon of the crimes for which he will bear eternally in history @ crushing responsibility and stlama. But the kpectre of punishment must have haunted his later days if this man, se monstrously indifferent, was accesible to any feeling whatever—this man who witnessed unmoved the worst catastrophes heaped up by fate on his =~family and his country. If he had disappeared from the scene three years sooner, the world which would have forgotten his valculating cow- ardice, his ferocious egotism, his hyp- ocrisy and would have remembered only the private and public misfor- tunes which marked almost all the yvears of his reign, without reflecting % that these misfortunes were all de- served. He would perhaps have been pitied. But justice has not permitted that he swindled the world out this supreme homage. It has made for his death a setting of reprobation and horror.” It is not belleved in Paris that the death of the emperor will affect the war in any way. The general impres- sion here is that he had long more or less of a figure head, without reading the documents (Continued On Fourteenth Page.) of been signing to DEPARTMENT STORE ROMANCE UNCOVERED Elmer Burr Takes 17 Year Old Miss Christine Zeigler of Church Street as His Bride. A department store romance, that came somewhat as a surprise to the many friends of both parties, cul- minated yesterday morning when Elmer L. Burr of 5 Black Rock avenue and Miss Christine Zeigler, daughter of Christian Zeigler of 5560 Church street, were quietly mar- ried by Rev. Earle B. Cross, pastor of the First Baptist church, at the church parsonage on High street, only a few hours after City Clerk A. L. Thompsan had issued the couple a marriage license, Both Mr. and Mrs. Burr were em- | ployed at McMillan’s department | store, the former as a chauffeur for Mr. McMillan, and the latter as a clerk. Soon after the young couple met it was the same old story, friend- ship ripening into love. Mr. Burr is of age and his young bride is not, although when they se- cured their marriage license she gave her age as twenty-one years. Further | investigation on the city records show | that Mrs. Burr is only 17 years of age, having been born on March 15, 1899. Fallowing the simple wedding cere- mony, Mr, and Mrs, McMillan, who ! were informed of the nuptial, took the bride and groom in their automobile and acted as hosts at a wedding | dinner. FEAR FOR RUMANIANS Belief Exists That Army Cannot Es- cape Teutons Following Capture of Craiova and Cutting of Railroad. The fate of the Rumanian armies in western Wallachia appears yet to be hanging in the balance. The exact measure of the fruits sathered by the Teutonic invaders from their capture of the important Wallachian ciyt of Cralova, reported yesterday, is not yet apparent, but | fears are expressed in Entente quar- ters in the Orsova region, on the west- | ern Rumanian frontier, now that the main line rallroad has been ecut at Crafova. Also, it seems, virtually all of western Wallachia has been won by the armies of the Central Powers. A new battle has opened on Macedoniarr front. the PRODUCE DEAIAFRS ACCUSED.

London, Nov. 22.—The British hos- pital ship Brittanic, has been sunk | with the loss of about fifty lives, says | a British official announcement today. The Brittanic was sunk by a mine or a torpedo yesterday morning in tho Aegean sea, according to the official statement. There were 1,106 survi- vors, of whom about 28 were injured. TPull particulars of the disaster, it is announced ,will be published as soon as they are received. The White Star liner Brittanic was the largest vessel of the White Star | afloat. Bullt in 1914 at Belfast, she was 852 feet long, 94 feet beam and | 59 feet deep. Her length was some- | what less than that of the White Star liner Olympic, which measured 88814 feet, but the Brittanic had the greater tonnage, the Olympic's being 46,300 | tons, as compared with the Brittanic's 47,500. Late in November, 1915, it was re- | ported that the Brittanic was being fitted - out for the Dardanelles service as a hospital ship. The only other British steamer Brittanic is a comparatively small vessel of 2,240 tons gross, regarding which there is no record of having been in the hospital service. It was reported in a special de- | spatch from London on December 6 last, that the White Star liner Brit- tanic then recently captured would be used as a hospital ship by the British government making her the largest hospital ship in the world. Last June, however, it was reported in a news despatch from Liverpool that she had returned to the White Star iine for restoration to passenger serv- SUES FOR $10 000 Hod Carrier Fears He May Not Be Able to Resume Work Because of | Tnjurics and Blames Autoist.
