THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MQONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1902. RYDEZEWSKI'S FRIENDS ARE VERY AGTIVE ‘Hope to Prove That Mrs, Gore's Death Was Accidental, Parisian Newspapers Unite in the Support of This Theory. Pl o ndin Dr. Socquet Holds to This View After Post-Mortem Examination of the Unfortunate Woman’s a Body. eiliegon Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Nov. the circumstances of Mrs. Ellen Gore's death has made no progress during tne last forty-eight hours and probably will remain at until Tuesday, the a sta day fixed by the investigating magisnale“ for the examination of witnesses and the formality of she “reconstruction of the scene,” which will take place in the room in which the tragedy occurred and in the | presence of De Rydezewski. The latter will be cross-examined closely and it Is| expect hat the scene wil be re-enacted as exactl possible. M. B the expert criminalogist, will photograph and make a diagram of the room. He is studying the case with a view to the coming trial, because even though the magistrate may adopt the iheory of an accident, it will be necessary De Rydezewski on the charge of cummi! g homocide by imprudence and | he is liable to be muicted in damages for | the benefit of Mrs, Gore's heirs, should | put in an appearance.

The United States Government has or- Gered Consul General Gowdy to make a | thorough inquiry into Mrs. Gore’s death. De Rydezewski, it now appears, is a nephew of Constantin de Rydezewski, aid de camp to the Czar and member of the inet, and official and unofficial Rus- are moving heaven and earth to 1p their compatriot. They even do not | scruple to ail the character of the dead woman. This has angered the Amer- | , headed by Consul General Gowd They advance the fact that Mrs. Gore re- fused to marry him and even threatened 1o move away from Paris if he persisted in Lis declared intention of taking rooms where she resided The Russians first tried to bury the whole a riding all opposition. They got an order from a magistrate to bury the body of | the dead woman in quicklime as a friend- less pauper. Consul General Gowdy’s pro- test stopped this procedure. sian NOT A WEALTHY WOMAN. Mrs. Gore’s Income No More Than Sufficient for Her Needs. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—Before Mrs. Gore salled for Paris the latter part of July last she made a will, which she left | with her lawyer in this city, who was made executor of the will. This was ;horll,\‘ after she had obtained a divorce rom her husband, Thomas St. Clair Gore. The accounts from Paris have in- dicated that Mrs. Gore was a rich woman sud had property in Mexico from which she derived a large income. According to her lawyer this is a misapprehension. “Under the Mexican law,” he said tp- day, “when Mrs. Gore obtained a divorce the combined property of Mr. and Mrs. Gore was divided and she received her share. While I do not know just exactly what Mrs. Gore’s income amounted to, 1 know it came principally from an apart- ment-house in Mexico City, which was buflt by Mr. Gore. She was not a wealthy woman by any means, and her income was no more than sufficlent for her needs.” Under the terms of the will the bulk of rs. Gore's estate will go to her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Dickinson of California, and her three brothers. One of the brothers is in Chicago, another in Ohilo and the third at Republic, Wash. An effort will be made to find them by Mrs, Gere's lgwyer, and when that is accom- plished the will is to be offered for pro- bate. “I don’t think there is anything in the suicide theory,” sald the lawyer, “for there was no reason why she should com- mit suicide. The theory that De Rydezew- ki sent a message to her that he was ill and sponse seems plausible. She was a good- nstured, kind-hearted woman, and it would have been just like her to respond to 2 message of that kind.” SERVICES FOR THE DEAD. Memorial Rites to Be Observed in | Mrs. Gore’s Former Home. ALAMEDA. Nov. 23.—Memorial services for the late Mrs. Ellen Gore, whose mys- terious death in the studio of Jean de iydezewski a Russlan opera singer of noble birth, in Paris on Wednesday, the sensation of the French capital, will SUICIDE THEORY 15 NOT TENABLE Physicians Agree That Herr Krupp Died of Apoplexy. Say That He Had Been in Delicate Health for Sev- eral Years . BERLIN, Nov. 23.—The first assump- ticn that Herr Krupp, the great gun- | maker whose death was recorded yester- | day, committed suicide is ylelding to) pre- cise and abundant testimony to the con- trary. | | Professor Binswanger, a physician of | | the highest reputation, was, in the apart- | ment adjoining Herr Krupp's - sleeping | room when he was stricken on Saturday jmorning and Dr. Pahl, Herr Krupp's| family doctor, also was in the housg | They summoned several pther physicians | 23.—The investigation into | speak of him | who | r and nearly succeded in over- | that she went to his room in re-| and it is regarded as being beyond belief | | that all of them should have connived at a concealment of the cause of death, { which they ascribe to a stroke of apo- | plexy, induced, they add unofficlally, by | mental excitement, from which Herr Krupp was suffering. | Herr Krupp's medical history for sev- | eral years past indicates that he was 'nl delicate health. He was asthmatic, had | & weak heart and was subject to falnting.| spells. He fell to the ground unconscious | while In Genoa several years ago and | again while at dinner in a hotel here| ighteen months ago. He had “been { warned to avoid overfatigue and WOrry. ‘He was at Hamburg Thursday last and at the Hamburger'Hof it was observed that he was in a highly nervous condi- | tion and scarcely in control of himself. | This accounted for the presence of two | physicians in the house at the time of hic death, one of them being Professor Binswanger. TAVORED LABOR COLONIES. Mrs. Krupp was sent for from Jena. | She is suffering from a nervous malady, but was brought to Essen in a special train, arriving there this morning. The funeral has been fixed for Wednesday. Chancellor von Bulow, all the Ministers [Sois aiear miniiier criibe omeny. ol |lowing the example of the Emperor, have | telegraphed their condolences to the { widow. Herr Krupp leaves two daugh- ters, who are at school, one named Bar- bara, aged 17, and the second named Bertha, 15 years of age. Herr Krupp's | favorite study was fo think out schemes | for improving the wellbeing of the lower tclasses, which he applied practically to | | what are called “labor colonies.” He as- sented seemingly to most socialistic prin- | ciples, except that he held tight to the | wage system, averring that the wage- | earners were not yet sufficiently devel- | oped or self-controlled to regulate for | themselves a just system of division of | profits. | It is mentioned as an odd chance that a | man who applied social reform ideas in |80 extensive a way should have been | crushed by a social democratic news- paper, which regarded his measures to ameliorate the conditton of the laborers { as not touching the question of economic | injustice. | Herr Krupp's father started the system of modern dwellings for the workingmen |as a matter of expediency, and Herr | Krupp himself appears to have developed | them from conviction and in accordance { with his ideals. He owned 5469 dwellings, | cach of which, to whatever group it be- longed, being constructed with varfa- | tions in the architecture to avold monot- cny. Each house had a front yard in | which were bits of ornamental gardening; the outside coloring and the interior deco- ration gave a certain esthetic unity, while there was plenty of space and light. AIDED HIS EMPLOYES. Herr Krupp had also a variety of in- stitutions, some of them rather singular, | such as “Bachelor Homes” and ers’ Retrefts.” Besides convalescent | hospitals and orphanages he had a pen- | ,x(on fund for his employes amounting to |$4,125000. He contributed last year as re- | auested by law $372,000 to the national in- surance fund and gave voluntarily $4,- 680,000 to other insurance funds. Notwith- \F!El”dlng his benovelent interests he was ‘an autocrat in the management of his | concerns. He was almost unknown by | sight to his workmen and rarely visited | the works or even his offices. He spent several months every year on the island {of Capri and managed ‘his gun works, | rolling mills, iron mines and shipyards | by letters and telegrams. | Unlike his father, Herr Krupp took no | | interest in the technical side of his busi- ness, yet in fifteen years he more than doubled the fortune which he inherited. Since their foundation the Essen fac- tories hbave turned out 41,000 pleces af ar- tiilery. Herr Krupp resented being called the “‘Cannon King” and he sald that half of all the output of his works was civil- izing products, such @s raflway and mer- chant ship material and structural steel. @ eimiiieie il @ formance of the nuptial ceremony, the Rev. John Kirby, elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is expected to attend. Dr. Kirby was a close friend of the Rev. Mr. Stogdall in Ohio, and was among the first to call at the chkinson home and tender his sympathy and assistance after Tearning of the tragic death of Mrs. Gore. The other clergyman who officiated at the Gore-Stogdall marriage was the late Rev, Edmund Y. Garette, who passed away on September 2 of tais year. He was the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church from 1886 to 1894, Friends of th® Dickinson family and of Mrs. Gore and members of the Women's Pacific Coast Press Association, of which “Widow- | Mrs. P. T. Dickinson is a distinguished member, have been invited to be present at the memorial services to-morrow. | Mme. Tojetti, the well-known dramatic contralto, will assist in the services. e | FORMER HUSBAND IN TOWN. | T. S. Gore Arrives Here From Wic- toria by Steamship. T. 8.

California Lin- guist’s Allegations, Declares That He Was Insanely Jealous and Asserts Special Dispatch to The Call. ES MOINES, Nov. 23.—The third chapter in the litigation for the custody of the little daughter that was kidngped from Pro- fessor Louis Ventura, a noted linguist of San Francisco, by her mother, formerly Mrs, Ventura, is supplied in a series of affidavits just filed in the Dis- trict Court by Mrs. Ventura in answer to the charges of impropriety contained in Professor Ventura's answer to her peti- tion. Mrs. Conrad swears that her rela- tions with J. A. Arctanter of Minneapolis, Editor Otis Colburn of Milwaukee and her present husband during and prior to her marriage to Ventura were of an in- nocent and perfectly proper nature. She avers that the trouble growing out of al- leged attentions of these men was due to an insane jealousy ever manifested by Ventura, who, she alleges, at one time followed her for a block on a business street in New York, beating her with a dog whip, cursing her and ealling her vile names because a clerk had offered her a fan when she remarked that it was warm. Mrs. Conrad makes affidavit that she was induced to relinquish the custody of her child in. the firét place by threats on the part of her husband that he wouid re- sist her appHecation for divorce by testify- ing to her alleged misconduct with other | men; that she belleved he would carry out his threats, and, although she knew the charges were untrue, she sought to avoid the scandal by waiving her right to little Lillian. > Mrs. Conrad makes affidavit referring to letters written from Minneapolis by her to Ventura, in which she said she was unable to support the child and did not care f¢ it; also that she was again divorced. She admits having written them, but says it was a ruse she adopted to place Ventura off guard to enable her [toeain access to)| and kidnap the child. In conclusion, Mrs. Conrad says Ven- | tura's disposition was such that he re-| garded the most trivial attention from other men and the most formal courtesies between her and them as acts of infidelity. Supporting this contention and that of cruelty arising from Ventura’'s alleged mercurial temperament, Mrs. Conrad of- fers a number of afidavits. arlan P. Roberts and Walter 8. Stone of Minneapolis swear that in their opinion little Lillian would prefer to live with her mother. Lillian herself testifies to the same. e T i That on One Occasion in New York He Publicly Beat Her With a Whip P MRS. E.,A.

She credits him with an ability to make a good appearance. There are affidavits from Marshalltown, | — Ja., and Minneapolis sustaining her charges of improper behavior on the part of her husband, and she concludes by setting out a number of letters written to her by Ventura from California complain- ing of his Inability to properly provide for himsélf and child. AUSTRIA-HUNGARY |ADMIRAL CASEY Twenty-Three Establish- ments Enter the Combine. Central Board to Regulate the Output and Fix Prices. VIENNA, Nov. 2.—After several months’ negotiations the Austrian and Hungarian iron and steel Industries have succeeded in forming a gigantic combina- tion comprising twenty-three separate es- tablishments, the capital of which aggre- gates -$70,000,000. The new organization is a cartel, or combination, under which each establishment is worked separately, though all are supervised by a central board which regulates the output and fixes prices. This combine includes prac- tically every’' important iron and steel interest in the dual monarchy, such as the production of raw iron, bars, plates, nails and wire, The agreement will be effective for ten years, expiring on June 13, 1912. The Aus- trian and Hungarian cartels are organized separately, but worked jointly. The Aus- trian combination has eighteen members and the Hungariaa five. It is expected that this organization will result in great improvement in the indus- try, which just now Is exceedingly un- satisfactory, particularly in motive and wagon work branches. Of 20,000 machin- ists in Vienna, 8000 are reported to have been discharged recently. The wagon av‘x& locomotive works in other parts of the country are employing only about one- half of the regular force, and one resuit of these conditions is a large increase in emijgration, particularly from the iron dis- trict of Bohemia, whence hundreds of persons have lately gone to Canada, Mex- ico and the United States. The general situation is likely to im- prove shortly when extensive public works, Including the copstruction of ca- nals and railroad bridges, will be begun. These public works in Austria will, it is estimated, cost $75,000,000, and in Hungary $37,500,000. Miners Escape From a Fire. MARYSVILLE, Nov. 23.—Word reached here to-day of the destruction by fire of the assay office, machine shop, dryhouse and boarding-house at Dr. Puscheck’s mine on Hgar River, entailing a loss of $8000. The miners were asleep at the time and several narrowly escaped. A bad feature is the stoppage of extensive eper- ations planned by Dr. Puscheck. He had just completed a ditch system and the installation of expensive machinery. HIGHLY PRAISED Colombia Deeply Appre= ciates His Services as Mediator. Governor of Panama Sets All the Political Prisoners at Liberty. —_— PANAMA, Nov. 23.—The Star and Her« ald says that at the conference on Thurs- day on the Wisconsin a distinguished son of Uncle Sam, Rear Admiral Silas Casey, acted as mediator and peacemaker, which conduct, it remarks, reflects great credit on a nation whose motives for doing good are too frequently disparaged. Admiral Casey in a brilllant speech extended to the negotiators his heartfelt good wishes, highly praising them for their judgment and patriotism and their arrangement of such a delicate matter. General Cobas, chief of Minister Perdomo’s staff, who spoke in English, made an eloquent re- ply to this speech, and in the name of Colombia thanked the gallant admiral for the hospitality and attention the me- gotiators had received on board his flag- ship and also for his generous interven=- tion In the arrangement to bring about peace in that zone of Colombian terri- tory. It is said that the impassioned pa- triotic utterances of General Cobas brought tears to the eyes of General Her- rera. Troops already are being sent away. Nearly 1000 men will leave to-night for Barranquilla. As soon as the revolution- ary gunboat Padilla arrives here the trcops In the Cacau province will be sent to Buena Ventura, on the bay of Choco. General Herrera and his secretaries have arrived at Agua Dulce, accompanied by a Government commissigner, bringing the news of the conclusion of peace to the gunboat Bogota In order to prevent a fight with the Padilla should they meet. General Salazar, Governor of Panama, has set all the political prisoners at lib- erty. The commander of the British crulser Phaeton offered General Salazar to com- municate the news of the treaty of peace to Captain Marmaduke, the commander of the Bogota. The offer was accepted and the Phaeton sailed last night. President Returns td Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—President Roosevelt and his party, who visited Phil- adelphia yesterday, returned to Washing- ton to-day.
