WITNESSES CONFRONT HIM lirilliunt Wit and Literary Man Is Dragged From Bed of Sickness to Hospital "nder Arrest Has Letters From the Kaiser. BERLIN, May 8. Once the intimate friend and confidential personal ad viser of Kaiser William. Prince Philip tu Eutenberg today was placed under arrest on a charge of perjury at his castle at Leibenberg, 40 miles distant. He was brought in an ambulance auto mobile to the Charity Hospital, in Ber lin, where he is detained pending fur ther inquiry. The charge of perjury was made by the crown prosecutor as a. result of the testimony of two men that he had been guilty of unnatural crimes against them 25 years ago. At the second tjial of Maximilian Harden, in Berlin, for publishing in Die . Zunkunft against Prince Philip and others charges re lating to the crimes which these men allege, the Prince swore to his entire Innocence and denied that he knew the men. When tho scandal came up again in a new trial at Munieh, these two witnesses testified that the Prince committed the crimes alleged 25 years ago. They were brought to his bedside yesterday and reiterated their testi mony. The Prince then repeated his denial. The examining magistrate told the Prince he was compelled to be lieve th,o witnesses and the charge of perjury against the Prince followed. Many Letters From Kaiser. The Prince Is presumed to have in liis possession a great many letters, possibly more than 100. from Emperor William containing expressions of the Imperial estimate of leading person . ages in Germany and of some European sovereigns. The reports concerning these letters probably are exaggerated. but even so, there would appear to be enough truth In the rumor to place it within the Prince's 'power to create , jnuch embarrassment fcy their publica tion. ' '. " ' " V . . Ruin of Brilliant Man. The Prince's arrest Is taken to mean the Irretrievable ruin of this brilliant man, who was at one time a confi dential friend of Emperor William. The Prince had been nearer to his majesty during the greater part of his reign than any other German subject. He might have been Chancellor of the Empire if he had noi refused the re sponsibility. This he did possibly be cause stories of secret misconduct have long been circulating against him, so muc h so that he has lived on the brink of disclosure for the past ten years He voluntarily gave up the position of oerman Ambassador to Vienna in 1902 because, as was commony gossiped at iiie time, a group of his enemies threat ened him with exposure. After re. signing at Vienna, the Prince returned to Berlin, where he was often with the L-mperor. Was Kaiser's Confidant. The statement that Prince r.u t!iin. berg advised the Emperor in political matters has been made by men who sought to disnlaca ti Tt-innA v. - Imperial confidence by intimating that there was danger to the state in the alleged fact that the Emncrnr turn from his constitutional advisers to a iriena Demna a screen, who was re sponsible to no one but his majesty himself. This constantlv mrnt never has been confirmed, but everybody in official life hi. inn that Emperor William was delighted wicn tne companionship of the Prince, whose conversation was always cheer ful, full of wit. anecdote And ifromoHn climaxes, natural and easy and touched now and then with graceful and senti mental expressions. His t-ni were more feared than those of any other tongue about the court. The iTince Is a gifted writer and is tho author of no less than 11 volnmn nf fairytales, short stories and poems and several plays, which ho published unaer the name of Svenson. , Amiable, Though in Disgrace. The Prince's charm of manner did not desert him today. He Is a sielc man and the Joints, of his legs are swouen rrom neuritis, but when a nhv- sirlan representing the examlnlnar board informed him that he was well enough to be taken a prisoner to the hospital, he . quickly called his valet and dressed with difficulty, the Prince's amiable talk the while being interrupted every -now and then by a grimace of pain. Police agents watched him through all last night, standing in a room ad joining his sleeping apartment and keeping him under observation through an open door. The Prince was restless until after midnight, from which hour he slep quietly until long after day break. One of his sons, who has been his constant companion recently, ac companied him to the door of the hos pital. It is possible that the Prince will be released in $250,000 bail. Villagers Weep for Prince. A crowd of weeping villagers gathered In the village of Liebenberg, where the Prince is greatly beloved, to bid him fare well.

EVERY MAN ON SHIP SAVED Jji fesa vers Wrest Rickmers Crew From Storm's Grasp. NEW YORK, May 8. Seventy-two men, who for more than 24 hours had been facing death in the raging sea near Fire Island, were rescued from the crumbling hulk of the bis: German ship Peter Rickmers early today. The rescue was effected after one of the most trying experience the life-savers on this coast have ever been called upon to face. No less than a dozen times hope of saving- the men on the doomed ship was all but abandoned, and it was only the easing of the gale and terrific sea that made the rescue possible. Fortunately, not a man lost his life, and it is believed that not one of them suffered any permanent harm as a result of their long fight against death. The great steel ship, one of the finest sailing vessels that ever rode the sea. is a total wreck. Her bow and stern have been completely torn off by the waves, her masts are ripped out, her deckhouses and bridges swept away, and she 1b full of water. Shb is lying iar oacK on tne oar, and It is unlikely that any effort will be made to tow her to deep water again. The Rickmers struck the sand bar about 10 miles from Fire Island April 30, while bound out from New York for Europe.
