she accompanied him everywhere, first
to Ostend, then to Germany, where he
bought for her a chateau owned by a
once wealthy sugarreflner who had
failed in business. The lady was known
then as Mile, de la Croix.
She bore to King Leopold two sons.
One, Lucien Philippe Marie Anton, saw
the light of day February I, 1906. His
father, whom he resembles greatly,
oreated him Count de Terxeurin. The
second son, born a few months ago, is
Count de Revenstein.
More Favored Than Princess.
So completely did the Baroness
dominate the life of Leopold that the
Princess Clementine, Leopold's own
daughter, had to give way to her. One
time at Lacken (so the story runs) the
Princess ordered the Baroness from the

Irposed Homesteading of Public
lands Basis or Attack by Dele
gate to Congress Who Causes
Surprise to Party leaders.
HOTS-OLI.rL.Xj. Uec. 27. Del-icate to Con
gress Kalanianaole, .who recently an
nounced his candidacy for re-election, has
caused a political Bensatlon throughout
the territory by a vigorous attack upon
Governor Frear, charging the Governor
with not acting in good faith with re
gard to the proposed homesteading of
public lands.
In his first Interviews on the subject
the. delegate to Congress said that the
Governor had "lied" about land poli
cies and intentions. Tater he withdrew
this expression, but announced himself
as at war witli the territorial executive
on account of failure to open public
lands.
Attack Is Great Surprise.
The delegate's attack came as" a com
plete surprise to the Republican leaders.
Governor Frear -had Just left for Wash
ington to urge a new land bill "before
Congress which had been prepared with
iKalanianaole's assistance and unani
mously indorsed by the Legislature of
Hawaii In special session.
, Prince Kalanianaole said further that
the administration of the public lands
In Hawaii had not been for the benefit
of the people.
"The sugar planters can get anything
they want from Frear," he said, "but the
people do not get any chance. Governor
Frear lied to the people and he lied to
me, and made me lie to the people in
my promises."
Prince Retracts.
After a conference with Acting Gov
ernor Mott-Smith, Kalanianaole with
drew these statements, but returned to
the attack the next day in a written
public statement.
"A revolution is going on in the minds
f the Hawaiian people on this question
of public lunds," he said, "and we must
get the land out among the people. It
may finally come down to this, that men
will be put in power here who are In
close and direct touch with the poor
people in the country who want the
lands."
Kalanianaole is thought by some to
have aspirations to becoming Governor
himself, in view of rumors of Frear's
being disposed to resign and return to
the bench, as it is believed here that
President Taft might be. inclined to ap
point a Hawaiian.
COAL LANDS, FARMS, TOO
Mondell or 'Wyoming Prepares Bill
Providing Agricultural Entries.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Dec. 26. Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, chairman of the committee
on public lands, has introduced, and will
press to consideration, a bill providing
for agricultural entries on coal lands. The
bill is Intended to make available for
agricultural development the surface of
areas underlain with coal, much of which
will not be developed as coal property
for many years to come because of the
inaccessibility of the deposits. Moreover,
the bill is drawn with a view to per
mitting double use of all such land, one
man to use the surface for farming pur
poses; another to develop the coal be
neath. The bill provides that lands known
to contain coal shall be subject to home--stead,
dfsert land or Carey act entry,
the rights to the coal to be reserved to
the United States, together with the right
of prospecting and mining. No desert
entry made of such lands, however, Bhall
embrace more than ltft) acres, and all
homestead entries shall be made In con
formity with the requirements of the dry
farm homestead law, except as to acre
age involved.
Persons entering such lands may obtain
patent to the surface rights. The coal
x deposits, under the bill, are made sub
ject to disposal by the United States
under the coal land laws, and the United
States or its grantees khall at all times
have the right to enter upon lands so
patented for the purpose of prospecting
for, mining and removing the coal, but
the owner of the surface shall be entitled
to damages to his property resulting from
euoh coal development. The surface en
tryman, however. Is given the right to
mine coal on or under his land for do
mestic purposes at any time prior to the
disposal of the coal by the Government
BARONESS IN DISFAVOR
iContlnued From First Pfft.)
the lower class of "La Petite Bourgeolse,"
though arrived at a dazzling degree of
fortune, Blanche Caroline de la Croix
never, so far as is known, exhibited the
least intention of alleviating the lot of
her brothers and sisters, and all of them
speak of. her with unmistakable coldness.
Her eldest sister, Madame Laure Ie
febre, 50 years old, was until recently
a commission merchant at the Central
Markets of Paris. Another, Madame
Maria Lulultt. keeps a fruit and vegetable
stand In Gobelin Market. Still another
sister of the Baroness is Madame Juliette
Verger, who formerly was a flower girl
and who 'now is the wife of a waiter in
a cafe in the Place de Clythy.
Brotlicr Only Champion.
The only surviving brother of the Bar
m oness is a waiter in another cafe not far
from the Place Republlque. He alone of
the family has something kindly to say of
the morganatic widow of the Belgian King,
whom ha called, i half Jocularly, his
brother-in-law. He declares his Intention
of exercising the office of natural protec
tor to the Baroness as the "masculine head
of the family. Of course, such an office
Is not without its attractions, in view of
the fact that at least $20,000,000 Is - at
stake In the legal battle about to be
waged over the late King's property.
Baroness 4 6 Years Old.
Although born in Bucharest, the
Baroness is a Parisian by long resi
dence here. She met King Leopold
here eight years ago. when she and her
sister lived in a little flat in the center
of the city. It is said that the sister
was a latindress at one time.

HOPEFUL VIEW IS TAKEN
AVALIi STREET OPTIMISTIC OVTER
LABOR TROUBLES.
Increased Dividend Rates Buoy Sen
timent of Stockholders- Gold
Stays Home.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Preparations
were in progress last week to meet
heavy obligations incident to the Janu
ary disbursements, which in New York
are estimated to be 1225,000,000.
Heavy remittances to foreign markets
to meet payments of dividends and in
terest to holders of American securi
ties made it a question until the mid
dle of the week whether gold would
not have to be shipped to London.
Volatile rises occurred in individual
stocks, most . from vaguely rumored
causes, but there were enough dividend
Increases to keep up a hopeful spirit
among stockholders.
The Census Bureau's cotton ginning
estimate was regarded as confirmatory
of the Agricultural Department's view
of the cotton crop shortage and the
rise in cotton to above 16 cents pointed
to causes responsible for the high cost
of living and the disadvantages this
involved.
Added interest was given to this
question h,y steps taken by railroad em
ployes to formulate demands for an in
crease in wages early next year. Senti
ment is not free from apprehension that
labor troubles may have to be reckoned
with in reaching settlements. ,
The disposition in financial circles,
however, is to take a hopeful view.
This same is true of the subject of
legislative and executive activities in
the direction of corporation regulation,
which promises to be brought forward
early through special messages from
the President.
ORDERS FOR STEEL- FEWER
Consumers, However, Press for De
liveries on Past Contracts.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Heavy specifi
cations on contracts for finished steet
products continue to roll in upon the
mills and consumers generally are press
ing for deliveries. But new business in
both finished products and raw material
is; being contracted.
Rail contracts placed in 1909 for 1910
delivery have aggregated almost 3,300.000
tons. New orders for fabricated steel
for buildings and bridges have aggre
gated only 25.000 tons, but it is jirobable
that the December business vill total
.100.000 tons at least.
Evidence of contraction in the volume
of . business in sheets and tinplate is
shown by a less heavy output and the
closing of several mills for the holidays.
Great activity continues in wire products
and shipments for November were 175,000
tons. Prices of mercantile pipe will be
readjusted on January 1.
Additional orders have been placed for
cars by railroads, bringing the total for
the month thus far to 11,200.
