BROTHER-!N-LAW IRRETRIEVABLY RUINED | Get-Rich-Guick Fever Proves Fatal to Royalty — King Longer Sits Counting Out His Money and Max No Money for Hread. (Copyright, 1%, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, May 25.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Spectal Telegram.)—Almost the entire private fortunes of emperor Willlam and empress and other members of the royal family of Germany have been swept | away in the swindles perpetrated by Com- merclal Counclllor Sanden. The opera- tions of Sanden suggest the 520 per cent a year scheme. He {s under arrest, and, | while the emperor's legal advisors are en- deavoring to determine the extent of his majesty's losses, court circles and cafes fing with expressions of admiration at the audacity of the man who duped the em- peror by the flimsiest sort of chicanery. | As nearly as can be learned, Sanden got away with something like $5,750,000 belong- 1ng to members at the court. His labil- fties, Including claims of the royal family, | will easily foot up that amount. His vis- | fble aesets in money do not exceed $100,000. His houses, yachts and stables will prob- ably realize $100,000. So that the royal per- sonages who have been mulcted of their private fortunes stand very little show of getting even as much as one per cent ()1‘ their lose. His majesty is belleved to have | Jost $3,750,000 through the operations of | Banden. The empress, whose private for- tune fs small, is said to have been swin- dled out of $625,000. The emperor, who is Beavily in debt, bas already abandoned some of his projects for spending money, at which he is an adept. His sole private fortune now amounts to about $4,000,000 a year. A large part of this, however, will be devoted for some years to come to repaying the family trust funds swept away by the Sanden fallure. His brother-in-law, the duke of Schles- wig-Holsteln, has been irretrievably ruined, and unless he can ralse a great denl of money, which now seems improb- able, the duke will be compelled to con- fess bankruptcy. In Germany bankruptey carries with 1t disgrace. Saved from Twenty Times Wor If it had not been for the protest of the family might have amounted to twenty times as much, According to the gossips in court circles, tho emperor, who was a great admirer of the brilllant Sanden, wanted to turn over the entire Iron Stock fund, amounting to 425,000,000, to Sanden in the hope of in- creasing it twenty-fold. The Iron Stock, which {0 the family fund of the royal fam- dly, 18 now invested in giltedgeed secur- ftles and In London and New York real estate, If Sanden had secured control of this fund he would undoubtedly have been able to carry on his operations for years without dificulty. The collapse of his fly- by-night scheme of enriching the nobility by promising to pay preposterous rates of futerest on money entrusted to him for nvestment, was due to his speculation In American securities. Caught in ¥ Ha was caught in the Northern Pacific corner along with a lot of other German capitalists and his collapse followed. An examination into his affairs by some of the cabinet ministers a day or two ago disclosed the nature and exient of his operations. Ho was arrested in hls palace at Potsdam by Colonel von Moltke, governor of Potsdam, while he was entertaining guests at an elab- orato dinner. The governor of Potsdam took the broker to his library and for two hours questioned him regarding his affairs. He first declared he was entirely solvent snd able to return to his cllents, including tho royal family, all the money entrusted to him with exorbitant interest earned by the money. At the end of two hours Sanden confessed that he was bankrupt and that the royal funds had gone with the money entrusted to him by the common people. “So you dared to speculate with the sav- fngs of my august mistress?” shouted the governor. Empress Wanted enty Per Cent.’ “How could 1 help it protested Sanden, “when she wanted from 10 to 20 per cent on her money?" “But his majesty sald he never empow- pred you to put the royal funds to any but Jegitimato uses,” thundered the governor. “Well,” said Sanden, “If the kaiser was patisfied with 3 per cent why did he not buy Prussian consols? 1 suppose he thought the 8 per cent consols were good enough for Amerjcans while his money was to be loaned to the highest bidders." While this sensational interview was In progress the telephone bell rang and the emperor himself summoned Colonel von Moltke, After hearing of the confession of Sanden, who cowered in & corner of the room, the emperor, who Is represented to bave been in a frenzy of anger, demanded that Sanden be arrested st once. “Treat him Iiike the lowest crimina shricked the emperor, “and do not consider the question of bail. Send him to the Mo- bait (the Berlin Tombs). Let him be brought to the Mobait in the common prison carria The public admipistrator shall tuke hold of his household, his villa and his stables at once, and he shall be publicly disgraced.” From Wanguet Board 10 Pri In accordance with the emperor's com- mands, Sanden vas taken from his banquet hall and thrown into prison. The news of his arrest soon spread among the notables of the court and found its way into the cafes and into the financial district. The amount of the royal losses was rumored to be ter times as great as they really were, but the rumors were sufficient to start panlc among the purveyors of the court, servants, builders and contractors em- ployed by the emperor or assoclated with the charities conducted under the patron- @ge of the empress. A rigld investigation Into the affairs of Banden has disclosed the fact that the em- press was hit the hardest. She lost every ifle Corner. QUEEN WHO RIVALS SIMPSON Not Only is Ranavalona Sockless, hut ew Other (Copyright, 190 s Publishing Co.) PARIS, May 2.—(New York World Ca- blegram-—Special Telegram.)—-Queen Rana- valona 111 of Madagascar will arrive next week on ber first visit to Paris. Prepara tions for her reception occupy a great deal of public attention, the general opinion be- ing that the French government is behav- ing rather shabbily toward the dispossessed ruler of the big African island. An apart- ment of elght rooms has been engaged in a middle class furnished house. This Queen Ranavalona will occupy during her slx weeks' stay, together with two whits servants. M. Rachette, an attache representing the French government, will also live in this house. His orders are to watch the queen constantly to prevent her escaping. This precaution is deemed preposterous fnas- much as since she was deposed to Algerla she has never made an attempt to escape Seemingly the queen s perfectly resigned (o her fate. In Alglers Ranavalona's sunny and childish nature made her the greatest favorite among the population. Her only real grudge agalnst the government is that it won't allow her to marry a French sol- dier. She falls madly In love with every officer she meets and cannot understand why she should be condemned to perpetual | widowhood Harefoot in Worth Dresses. NEW YORK May 26.—(8pecial Tele- gram.)--An interesting woman is the de- posed queen of Madagascar, the third larg- est island in the world. She used to wear ‘Worth dresses and went about in them barefooted. She chewed tobacco and drank champagne all day long. She im- ported perfumes from Parls, but used palm oil on her bair. Her great passion, how- | ever, was the acquisition of Worth dresses. She wore them all day long. Visitors saw her majesty sitting on the floor of her palace busily transferring a meal of rice, oil and chicken to her mouth with her fin- | gers and incidentally spolling a magnificent lace. | Worth creation of silk, velvet and She did not approve of all the vexatious de- alls of civilized feminine dress. Corsets, stockings and shoes were not the only arti- cles she omitted. When her majesty crossed the street on a wet day the foreign residents of her capital were treated to a spectacle which amused them, but which the natives gazed at with awe and rever- ence. |ART TREASURES FOR PUBLIC Morgan Will Make Priceless Gi He Can Avold Paying Cuntomn, (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, May 25.—(New York World Cas blegram—Special Telegram.)—J. Plerpont Morgan intends to give the famous Mann- heim collection of antiquities, which he has Just bought, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, If he can obtain from the United States Treasury department exemp- tlon of the collection from customs duties, but not otherwis Mr. Morgan sald to the World corres- pondent today: ‘I consider the prevention of free entrance of works of art into the United State# fost idlotically barbarous. 1 expect to induce the customs authorities to let this unique treasure gathered by Mannhelm enter free as educational ma- terlal. Anyway, rather than pay one cent of duty I will resell them or give them to some European museum.’ There are 241 objects in the collection, none very cumbersome. They are being pacékd by experts and will be shipped to England within a few days to be loaned to the South Kensington musoum. Mr. Mor- gan refused to tell what he pald for the collection. Judglng from the fact that Mannhelm refused several extravagant of- fers from different states and private par- ties, It is iuferred that he simply piled up banknotes before the Paris collector re- gardless of the total figure. Mr. Morgan has gone to London. VICTIM OF GIGANTIC FRAUDS Russo-Polish Rallway Administration Loses Two Million Doll (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, May 25.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The Russo- Polish railway administration is the vietim of gigantic frauds. Clerks In the goods depots only returned half the weight of treight forwarded, while their confeder- ates at the destination collected for full weight. Nearly $2,000,000 is secured the gang, forty of whom, including the ring- lender, a prominent lawyer, have been arrested. The Russian rallway administra- tlon has also Just discovered that contract- ors In stone and iron are in combination with high offictals who gave receipts for much larger quantities than have been delivered. These sharps have swindled the government out of over $1,000,000. The Mayence garrison has just been tho scene of another disgraceful military duel. A court of honor decided that Lieutenant Richter, Eighty-eighth regimental, should challenge Lieutenant Vogl, Thirteenth Hussars, holding that Vogl compromised Richter's pretty young wife by his atten- tions to her. The duel took place on the moat of an old fortress In the presence of a number of officers. Vogl shot Rich- ter in the thigh, causing a mortal wound. Vogl has been arrested and a report on the case will be sent to the kalser, who is anxious to put down these candals.

WOMEN ABBARD SHAMROCK Sct and Lo See Then (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing C LONDON, May 25.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—It Is a curi- ous fact that, although Mrs. George Keppel was aboard Shamrock 1I on the occasion of Wednesday's catastrophe with Lady Lon- donderry and Mrs. Jameson, no paper here mentloned her name, although two of them did state that her sister-in-law, Hon. Mrs. Derke Keppel, was aboard. This latter lady, however, {s at the antipodes with her husband, a principal equerry of the duke of Cornwall Lady Londonderry, who is not in very good health, has been suffering ever siuce from the sirock, but Mrs. Keppel dis- played superb coolness, telling the king and others who rushed to her assistance that she could look after herself and let them do the same. The king's escape evoked extraordinary manifestations of enthusiasm toward him. On the following day a well dressed crowd congregated around Marlborough house to cheer him on his arrival. They filled in the long hours of waliting with prayers to the Almighty for the preservition of his 1it2. The king had a special orivate thanks- giving service in the chapel royal attached to Marlborough house the morning after the accident at which his family and household were present. He told Sir Thomas Lipton he was sorry that owing to the further trials taking place in the Clyde he could not be aboard Shamrock II when it is re- stored, but nevertheless It s known among his friends that he 18 resolved to take par- ticular care to run no further unnecessary riska of any kind. The king expressed himself in emphatie terms as to the preventability of the accl- dent which nearly cost him his life. He asked Lipton to send him reports by two independent experts as to how the bobstay plate gave way.

The formal ac- cusation against ber then alleged that the young American woman, who was very fascinating, was @& confirmed absintho drinker and addicted, when under the in- fluence of the flery liquor, to all those things which mada Lucretia Borgla historl- cal. Although glving no outward sign ot intoxication, she acted, it was averred, under a sort of cold rage which frequently drove her to attempt murder. One woman, whom she had previously stabbed, tnough not dangerously, and three officers of the Orleaus garrison, who had been “Dolly's” friends, testified that she had tried to kill them at different times, The mysterious poisoning of her husband was ascribed to “Dolly's"" love for a Japan- ose legation attache, who had spent one summer at M. Lavisse's country house. After a hard fought trial the American woman was acquitted, the evidence against her not being sufMcient to convict. She married the Japanese two weeks lates and started to Japan.

BERLIN, May 25.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Nearly 8,000 persons committed sulcide last year in Ger- many. Roughly speaking the proportion ¢ men to women was three to one. More than @ quarter of the sulcides werc persons mentally infirm. Nearly one-half had been addicted to drink. The chiet cause of sulcide among the men was general weariness of life, viee and sorrow. Among women mental do- rangement, bodily suffering, shame and pas- slon. Hanging, drowning, shooting and polson- ing happen most frequently. Two-thirds of the men chose one or the other. Women seldom shoot themselves. More than one- third of the women drowmed themselves and almost an equal number took poisom.

Dr. Chatinir publishes in & pupular medical magazive t' results of a number of experiments, all having favor- able results. Patlents with measles are kept in rooms lighted with a subdued red light, much like that in a photographer's dark room. Dr. Chatinir uses red silk paper pasted on his window panes. The patient recelves no medicine and is better fn two or three days. Dr. Chatinir explains that the prevalling red light enmables the in- flamed skin to rest. All other colors, espe- clally the strong shades of violet, excite the skin. Dr. Chatinlr was first attracted to his discovery by noticing that the peasant women In his district always wrapped up thelr measles-stricken children In red cloth, At the great beer festival at Bonn, in which the kalser and crown prince took part, more than 630 beer jugs were pock- eted by the guests as mementoes of the great occasion.

He got Into trouble with some neighbors, owing to the lake supply draining their water courses, but made some arrange- ments with them so he can proceed with the work. He widened the public road leading to Moat House from the village, and altogether transtormed the house sur- roundings. He has also bought several acres and several cottages In the village, which he intends to restore, for, although pleturesque, they are very dilapidated. He intends the approach to Moat House shall not be marred by any unsightly cottages. He passes most of his time here among his laborers.

PARIS, May 25.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Spectal Telegram.) — Alfred Harmsworth, enterprising proprietor of the London Daily Mall, was asked by World correspondent today what benefit he 1 derived from his study of the news- papers in the United States and what ideas he brought back which would be avail- able in his own business. “I was perfectly astounded,” said Mr Harmsworth, “at the pace your country is developing in every direction. Seelug the inside operation of your newspapers hus been of value. I have effected wome im- portant changes in consequence of it, about matter published in the way of exploiting news and I gathered many other good iden which 1 am trying to incorporate in my ral publications. “The trouble Is that the English people don't want new ideas. They are so deuc- edly cocksure of everything that they re- sent any effort toward novelty, even when it constitutes a radical improvement. This cocksure, routine spirit pervades every branch of the activity of our nation. There- tore, since, after all, a newspaper s made to sell and must reflect the average mental lovel of its readers, I very cautious about introducing Amerlcan lmprovements for fear of giving my people better news- papers than they want.” Mr. Harmsworth has been spending these beautiful spring weeks “laying around the gay capital,” as he himself expressed it Mrs. Harmsworth, determined to be the best-dressed woman In London, has given o great deal of time to dressmakers and hatters. She will go back to England to- morrow, while her husband will start on another tour of France In his big now automobile, THREE HORSES DIE IN FIRE iary Dinse roys Barn of C.
