THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2Q, 1909 PIONEER AMERIGUI DUCHESS IS ED Consuelo of Manchester Was Daughter of Antonio Yznaga del Valle. KING AND QUEEN FRIENDS Among First of American Girls to Wed Title Beautiful, Talented, She Ruled Favorite Both in London and Abroad. LONDON. Nov. 3D. Consuelo, Dowager Duchess of Manchester, died early this ( Saturday) mornlnp of heart failure fol lowing an attack, of neuritis. She had been 111 for some time from neuritis, but recently complications de veloped. She was living In her London residence and was attended by Sir Alfred FVinD. M. D.. surceon to Kins Edward. At her bedside were Lady Llster-Kaye and Miss Emily Yxnaga, of New YorK, her sister. In her Illness King Edward frequently made inquiries concerning her condition. The Dowager-DuchesB of Manchester was the daughter of Antonio Yznaga del Valle. of Ravenswood. La., and Cuba. After the Civil War Mr. Yznaga. having lost most of his fortune, moved North and Consuelo became a prominent figure In the social life of New York City. Her wedding in May, 1476. to the Vis count Mandeville was a brilliant affair and one of the first alliances of Ameri can girls with foreigners. At the death of the seventh Duke of Manchester, in 1S30. Viscount Mandeville assumed the title of his father, and Con suelo Yznaga became the eighth Duchess of Manchester. A son and twin daugh ters were the fruit of the' union, and in 132, at the death of his father, Con suelo's son became Duke. He married Miss Helena Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, in 1900. and Consuelo be came the Dowager-Duchess. Her two daughters died in young womanhood. For many years the- Dowager-Duchess was a great social' favorite In London ind on the continent. King Edward and Queen Alexandra were her constant friends. These modifications In the act would. It Is believed, make it an ef fective measure to obtain reasonable rates and fairness of practices In the operation of interstate railroad lines." Sherman Law Not Understood. Mr. Wickersham. in speaking of the Sherman anti-trust law. said that no statute was so generally misunder stood. The speaker said the great pur pose to be borne in mind-in connection with this and similar legislation is al ways the preservation of the fredom to trade. 'No doubt." said he. "the Sherman act is sufficiently comprehensive to destroy euch monopolies as the holding corpora tion, but at the same time that the Na tional Government forges a weapon to destroy abuses, it must provide a sub stitute for those legitimate enterprises that are equally dependent for their exist ence uoon the system soi abused. Such a law should provide for the or ganization and management of trading corporations, it kiiouio pr"wl -t,xs -" i poratlons organized under it from undue Interference by state authorities, sud jecting its real and personal property only to such taxation as te imposed by the state upon other similar property located therein: and it should require it to file complete reports of its opera tions with the bureau of corporations or some other similar office. "Such corporations should be prohibited from acquiring or holding stock of other corporations." Ir. Wise on Munieipal Reforms. Dr. Stephen D. Wise, rabbi of the Free. Synagogue of New York, spoke on muni cipal reforms. He said in part: "Civil reform must be a matter of con tinuous and ceaseless striving. The civic reformation will not be attained if mu nicipalities grow tired after a few years of earnest effort, as San Francisco has grown tired. Leaders of the cause of ctvic reformation, like the churches, spend too much time and strength in lighting each other Instead of waging united warfare upon the common enemy."
