The Duke was given a tremendous re ception at Marseilles when he arrived there on the Oceana this morning-.

The Italian Consul-General. Count di Savola. members of the Marseilles Geo graphical Society and representatives of the municipal authorities went aboard the steamer to present greetings to the Duke, who first, received Count di Savola alone. From him he obtained a large package of mall and retired to read the letters. When he reappeared his face was radiant and he spoke to the deputa tion of visitors with a display of rare good spirits. The Duke said he was de lighted with his trip, and added: "I am sorry I was not able to com plete all I had planned, but the results nevertheless were satisfactory. "I hold the record for the highest as cension In the Himalayas, the previous record being held by a Norwegian." The Duke said he had also brought with him a scientific collection and a large number of photographs. To a grorip of French and Italian Journalists, who inquired what he thought about the discovery of Dr. Cook and Commander Peary, the Duke replied that he never gave interviews to the press and would consequently say nothing. Later he told the Prlncirx PIo de Savola, the Italian Consul-General at Marseilles, the Senor Mazzini. the Vice-Consul, that he heard of Dr. Cook's success while. In the canal and of Commander Peary's when at Port Said. He di-t not express any opin ion in regard to Dr. Cook's exploit, and said he did not know the press opinion, as he had not had an opportunity Of reeding; the details. i In regard to Mr. Peary, he said every body would trust in him. The Duke leaves tonight or tomorrow morning for Monte Carlo. Beyond that he declined to be Interviewed, quickly checking the attempts of several Ameri can correspondents to ascertain whether he intended to go to Paris, where Miss Elkins was known to be. The Duke shortly afterward went ashore, with his aide, the Marquis, di Negroto. and pro ceeded to a hotel, where he lunched with Count di Savola. GRAND JURYWILL PROBE TO BEGIX INVESTIGATION INTO REAL AUTO KILLING. Constable Trying to Find Machine In Which Patrolman Maddux Went Joy-Riding. Tha climax of tha recent revival of In terest in the Real auto murder is ex pected to be reached today, when the grand Jury will commence lta investiga tions at 10:30 o'clock this morning. One of the most Important actions scheduled by the authorities for the day is the pro posal by Constable Wagner to have Pa trolman Maddux, of the police depart ment, who. with his wife, is suspected . of being In the car which ran down and killed Mrs. May Real on the morning of August 6, Identified by Managers Sandy & Rath, of the Cliff Inn. The Inn was visited by an auto party In the car which Is supposed later to have, struck. Mrs. Real. The Important development of last eight waa the bringing; to light of the fact that Eugene Wilson, a brother of Mrs. Maddux, was employed as a singer at Cliff Ina. It is now believed this may account for the inability of the officers to find out more about the Identity of the couple there If it was Maddux and his wife. C. E. Helium, the employe of the Gra ham Motor Car Company, Sixteenth and Washington streets, reiterated his story last night that Maddux visited the garage on the morning of the tragedy. He also talked to Arthur Gore, an em ploye of the Jackson Motor Company. This Is the garage, according to Mad dux, where Thomas Huston, employed by Clarence Harrison as a chauffeur, kept the car in which Maddux and his wife went for a "joy ride" on the night following the Llnnton road tragedy. Hope Is atlll entertained that Mrs. Becker will tell the entire story to the grand Jury. Her mother. Mrs. Henry Blssner. Is likewise expected to divulge what her daughter told her.
