IS ROMANCE
GLORIOUS WELCOME GIVEN
Immense Crowd Cheers Explorer and
Geographers Greet Him Regard
ing His Love Affair, However,
Italian Will Say Nothing.
PARIS. Spt. 12. SpeoIal.) With the
Duke of the Abruzzi at Marseilles and
Mla Katherlne Elkins in this city, mem
bers of the American colony and people
of all conutries are In a fever of excite
ment. It was reported the pair -were to
have met here Saturday, but they did not.
It Is generally believed, however, their
love match will be renewed. Americans
here assert the match never was broken,
but simply abandoned for the time being
until the storm of protests had subsided.
It Is Mid the Duke will first go to Italy
and then proceed to Switzerland, where
he will meet Miss Elkins.
The Duke was given a tremendous re
ception at Marseilles when he arrived
there on the Oceana this morning-. An
immense crowd had gathered at the
wharf to greet the distinguished explorer,
about whom clings the popular idea that
his trip to the Himalayas was the direct
result of the rupture of his romance win
Miss Katherlne Elkins.
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.
