Brussels, E. visitor tnat Empress Charlotte has awaited 54 vears is riding swiftly to her chateau at Bouchot. The visitor is Death. Charlotte is 81 and feeble. She il of influenza. Wife of Ferdinand Maximilian, em- peror of Mexico, she is the only em- press North America ever had. Ever since her royal husband was executed at Mexico City, June 19, 1867, she has been berefit of reason. It was in 18 that Maximilian brother of Francis Joseph, the late war emperor of Austria, arrived in Belgium after sailing the seven seas. Royal Romance The Hapsburg was 25, tall, manding figure Charlotte, daughter of King Leopold 1. was 17. She, too, was tall. Her face was oval, her cheeks rosy. Her mouth was pretty, her lips ruby red. Her eyes small and sparkling. But Charlotte was a royal ghut-in. Her mother allowed her to attend only four-balls a winter. Then she could, waltz only with her brothers. S8he was a student and a weaver of dreams. When arrived. is of com- Maximilian came romance It was love at first sight. Happiness Complete After the wedding they went to Milan and the island of Madeira and to Trieste. Maximilian was governor- general of Italian provinces. Charlotte was beloved people. Life was without care. The Maximilian grasped the oppor- tunity of becoming ruler of Mexico. Wherever Maximilian and Charlotte went in their new American domain flowers were strewn at their feet. The empress was hailed as “The beautiful and lovable Carlota!™ But Mexico soon wearied of Max- imilian, as it has of many other rulers since. His rule and his life were threatened. Charlotte went to Europe to plead with Napoleon III for finances and the keeping of French soldiers in Mexico. She knew that is she failed Max- imilian was ruined. Napoleon refused to promise sup- port. Crushed, Charlotte started for Ttaly. Then came the first indication of mental breakdown. Her Mind Breaks She would eat no food unless was prepared in her presence. “They'll poisow me” she cried over and over. In Rome she remained all night at the Vatican, saying she was afraid to leave. A mental specialist took her to the Palace oY Tervueren in Belgtum. The king and queen and the Prince of Wales tried to reassure her. Meanwhile Maximilian was seized by revolutionists and shot by a firing squad. News of the empéror’s death was kept from his wife, but somehow she divined the worst, and became raving mad. Years later, in one of her rare lucid intervals, she was told of his end. Thousands of times eince then she has called for Death. NOT GOVT. REPRISAL British Authorities Deny Taking Any Part In Destruction of Cullenswood Houso In Ranclagh. Dublin, Jan. 31.—The destruction of Cullenfwood House in Ranelagh, a suburb n‘ Dublin, on Saturday night was not official reprisal, it was stated | fliclal quarters here to- day. An officia] statement on ‘the in- cident has not yet been prepared, but by worry the or it | it was learned the house was regarded as a “Sinn Feln cottage.” The military forces, it is said, no- ticed that what they considered sus- picious and unnecessary alterations were being made to the house, which was owned by the aged mother of Patrick H. Pearse, the ‘“provisional president” of Ireland, who was exe- cuted shortly after the Easter rebel- lMon of 1916. The raid Saturday night was made for the purpose of remov- ing the alterations. “The military, in doing so, caused no ‘nnecessary dam- age to the bullding.” a military ofM- cial said today. Colonel Maurice Moore, commander of the Irish National Volunteers, was arrested In his residence Saturday night by the military. MARSANS BREAKS ANKLE.

Justice Day who filed a dissenting opinion, held however that the mere filing of an afidavit should not be accepted as sufficient evidence of the unfairness of the judge. The Berger affidavit should not be taken at “face value” he said, because the ‘‘facts’ therein had been made golely on “in- formation and belief” and no at- tempt was made to substantiate them. Histary of Casc. Next to that of Eugene V. Debs, the ¢ase of Victor Berger, publisher of the Milwaukee Leader, a socialist paper, attracted mMorc attention than any other brought by the government un- der the war-time esplonage act. Ber- ger waa accused of disloyalty and was convicted at Chicago on January 8, 1919. Subsequently hu was twico denied a seat in the house of repre- sentatives by that body and the third time he offered for re-election he was defeated. Four other leaders of the socialist party were convicted with thae Mil- waukee publisher. They were Adoiph Germer, secretary of the hational so- clalist party; William F. Kruse, edi- tor of the Young Socialist; Irwin St. John Tucker, writer and speaker, and J. Louis Engdahl. editor o! the Amer- ican Socialist. Sentences ranging from ten to twenty years were imposed by Federal Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The five defendants weére charged specifically with having conspircd to obstruet recruiting and interfere with the successful prosecution of the war against Germany through the deliv- ery of speeches and the circulation of articles intended to cause “‘insubor- dination, disloyalty and refusal of duty” among the naval and military torces of the United States. Nume ous articles written by Berger for the Leader were presented evidence against him. as Ousted From Congress. A movement to bar Berger from the seat in congress, to which he had just been elected from a Milwaukee dis- trict, was at once started, Representa- tive Mann, former republican leader, being one of the few influential mem- bers of the house who came out in behalf of the socialist editor. A new election having been ordered, Berger was againireturned and again the house voted to bar him, 328 to 6, within an hour after he had present- ed himself to be sworn in. His Paper Barred. The Milwaukee Leader in the meantime was sharing the troubles of its editor. Barred from the mails uh- der an order of Postmaster Burleson, the paper sought a mandamus in the courts to have its privileges The writ was refused and the case was carried by successive stages to thé supreme court. During the course of the litigation Berger of- fered to change the entire policy of his paper if the post office department would withdraw its order, explain- ing that he owed this sacrifice to those who had invested their money in the publication at his behest. federal restored. Beforo Supreme Court. The appeal of Berger and his fellow party members came to the supreme court on a “certificate” which was is- sued when they alleged that they had not been given a fair trial because ot “personal bias and prejudice” on the part of Judge Landis. Alleged re- marks made by Judge Landis on the occasion of passing sentence in 2 somewhat similar case were quoted as showing that he viewed with disfavor all persons of German or Austrian birth. Judge Landis denied the ac- curacy of the quotations and declared that what he had said had been di- rected to the individual with whom he wai then dealing. Attorneys for Berger in- arguing the appeal contended that the govern- ment's construction of the esplonage act was & violation of the constitu- tional right of free spéech and that the act was not effedtive in itself at the time of conviction because the war had ended before that time. : tendance at JANUARY 1, 19 SUBMITTED SUNDAY { Rev.
