MADRID, July 11. The ex-Empress Eugenie of France died here this morning. Death occurred 6hortly before 8 o'clock from acute intestinal inflam mation. She passed away quietly in the presence only of her lady-in-waiting. Her nephew, the Duke of Alba, at whose residence she died, was in France, and the other members of the family were absent. Kmprcss Eugenie had long suffered from opthalmia a.id had been oper ated on for cataract. Full imperial honors will be accorded at her funeral. Eugenie Marie de Montijo, former empress of France, was born in Gran ada, Andalusia, Spain. May 5. 1826. Her maternal grandfather was Wil liam 'Kirkpatrick. United States con Kill at Malaga, who was a native of Scotland, but a naturalized American. .Napoleon Her Only Son, She was educated in France, Spain and Kngland. She met her husband. Kmperor Napoleon Hi, first in 1851, and married him tn Notre Dame ca thedral, Paris, January SO, 1853. Prince Napoleon, her only son, the prince imperial, was born March 16, 1S56. The empress had great influence over her husband and on several oc casions acted as regent during his absence. At the outbreak of the Franco Prussian wr many accused Eugenie of having been responsible for the commencement of hostilities. Never theless the one-time Empress Eugenie received respectful sympathy and even after old age had crept upon her she was reverently greeted by those who 'saw her in Paris parks enjoying sunshine and talking with children. In the Tulleiics gardens the stcrn-visaged gendarmes looked the other way when she was plucking flowers. Notable Vitality Displayed. Some time ago Eugenie lost the sight of one of her eyes and she bogged that she might be taken to Spain before she became entirely blind. Her wish was gratified and last April . Eugenie again saw the beauties of Spain. Despite her 94 years she displayed notable vitality. The cx-Enipress Eugenie was al most impatient for the end of her long lease of life. She was 94 years old. Forty-four years of her life were sparkling in the successive roles of the Spanish countess, Eugenie Marie de Montijo. traveling through Europe, a visitor to the French court wife of Napoleon III, and an occa sional regent of the French empire, Then in a day the whole structure of imperial eminence collapsed. The other half of her life was mournful, so much so that Eugenie had said: "I wish 1 had passed when the shadowy fabric of my dream fell apart." That day of disaster was Septem ber 4, 1870, when she and all Paris had heard of the defeat and capture of Napoleon at Sedan. The empress was popufarly accused of bringing on that disastrous war with Prussia. Historians have since declared that there is little to support such charges, but the riotous mobs of Paris, shout ing for the new republic which the deputies proclaimed, stormed the palace of the Tuilories and howled imprecations upon Eugenie's head until the empress became convinced that her life was in peril. Flight was decided upon, but one plan after an other failed until an exit was found by way of the Louvre. The empress in disguise, accompanied only by one ot her ladies in waiting, was whirled away in a cab to the residence of the American dentist. Dr. Thomas J. Evans. Lost to all Paris the women spent the night in the protection of this chivalrous American and the next day they were-driven off in his car riage for flight across France to the channel and the secret boarding of a yacht for i.ngiana. f Miafortune Follows Flight. But exile was not enough. Mis fortune came in threes. The fall of the empire was followed by the death of the exiled emperor. Napoleon HI, in England three years later, and the killing of his only son, the prince imperial, while in battle with the English -against the Zulus. "Some times '" wrote the empress in a let ter which has recently come to light bearing date of 1873 ''sometimes, on eretng certain children tearing the wings off but'terflys and tormenting poor things that cannot show signs of suffering, 1 have made the com parison that people sometimes pluck out the heart and hurt it without knowing 'the evil that they do with - on eternal smile on their lips." This was written the day before her hus band died. The empress, in the two score years that followed, found intimate friends in England and interest in travel, in cluding visits to her former haunts in Paris. Dressed in black she passed almost unnoticed where once she was the leader of one of the most brilliant courts of the nineteenth century. ii her occasional interviews she revealed the strain of mournfulncss in her life.

Ttmmmolem T7 is EX-EMPRESS She prepared her last resting place some years ago by ordering an addi tion to the mausoleum in the Benedic tine Abbey which she built at Farn boroughland where she buried the ex iled emperor and the prince imperial. One instance of Eugenie's former brilliancy recalls the opening of the Sues canal. She was the center of the festivities at Cairo, upon which the khedive is said to have spent all of the $11,000,000 in his treasury. The gown she wore at the khedive ball cost $25,000, and later it served to pay a debt when she fled from Paris. It has since been reported as brought to America for sale. It has been estimated that the for tune oT the ex-empress amounts to $30,000,000. A report was published in Paris several years ago that she had been induced to leave her entire estate to the church, but this has not been confirmed. Although more than 90 years old, the former Empress Eugenie not only hoped and prayed but worked for the victory of thj allies in the great world war of 1914-1918. The war found her in a splendid home at Farnbor ough Hill in Hampshire, England. Early in the conflict she gave up her quiet and secluded life there so that her home could be transformed into a. hospital for wounded British offi cers. Despite her advanced age she assumed entire direction of the place and devoted herself to aiding the wounded men. Pruila Srtn Humbled. While the war was in progress she had said she hoped to live to see the Germans driven from France, and also that she expected to fulfill a gypsy prophecy that she would live to be near 10U years old. Alter half a cen tury of seemingly hopeless waiting, she lived to see the Prussians hum bled, and is said to have found con tentment in her knowledge of their humiliation in the peace of Versailles. The once internationally noted beauty had become a withered and wrinkled woman, but the ;ove of France still animated her. Eugenie was born in Granada, Spain, in 1826. Her father. Count de Montijo. was of a noble Spanish fam ily, while her mother was of Scotch extraction, her maiden name being Kirkpatrick. In their frequent journeys to Aldef shot to review troops during the wr. King George and Queen Mary often called upon the former empress of France at Farnborough Hill. They found her alert mentally and that she kept in touch with the news of the war S3 few women of half her age did. Those who knew her said that her greatest hold on life wa due to the fact that she was strongly deter mined to live until the Germans were driven from France. ESCAPED FORGER CAUGHT SIXG SIXG FUGITIVE ELUDES POLICE 15 YEARS. Similarity of Names Causes Ar rest ; About to Be Freed When Picture Found in Rogues Row. NEW TORK, July 11. (Special.) Julius Maier, alias Leiter, a former Sing Sing' prisoner arvd fugitive for 15 years, has been recaptured and was mprisoned again todav. Charles F. Rattigan, superintendent of prisons, sent S. J. Bergin, parole agent, to Washington, t). c. and Ber gin returned Maier to sing Sing today. Maier's downfall is laid to a similarity of names and a case of mistaken identity. The dragnet had been spread by federal authorities for another Julius Leiter, a tailor. The police brought n the former Sing Sing prisoner, who s also a tailor. The ex-convict, who is 54, declared his innocence of the federal offense. In looking through the rogues gallery, however, Washington author! ties found the picture or their prison er. It appeared on a circular asking his arrest as a parole violator who vanished in 1905. Superintendent Rat tigan was notified that the long- sought convict had been found. En route to the prison he told Ber gin that since violating his parole and fleeing from this state he had traveled all over North America. He still owes the state two years on his old conviction in New Tork county for forgery. COUPLE MARRIED 60 YEARS Anniversary Is Celebrated at Sa lent; 9 Grandchildren Attend. SALEM, Or., July 11.

MUSIC" LYCEUM OftOER THREE f I.AGS - PORTLAND CALGARY Aim. of Teutons to Benefit Miners Is Approved and Discussion to That End Suggested. SPA, July 11. (By the Associated Press.) After some hesitation, due to the coal question, the German dele gates today produced their plan showing how Germany would deal with reparations, but they specified that the decision reached regarding coal would modify their proposals. The allied experts admitted he justice of the German experts' pleas to relieve Germany of reporting to the reparations commission regarding the distribution of coal within Ger many, and approved the proposal to increase the output by improving the j welfare of the miners and suggested that the German and allied govern ments discuss means to this end. Premier Lloyd George III. The plenary session of the confer ence began at 5:30 this evening th Lord Curzon representing Great Britain instead of Premier Lloyd George who was confined to his room with a cold. The conference took up the coal question, the experts having failed to come to an agreement. "The question of coal is a question of life or death to the Germans," eaid Dr.- Simons, "and remains the basis for all other plans." Premier Millerr.nd replied th?.t there could be no question of modify ing the treaty of Versailles on that subject and that it must be executed. Dr. Simons thereupon handed the reparations plan to the general sec retary of the conference., Plan to Three Pnrta. The German reparation plan is in three parts. The plan follows: Part 1, section 1: The German, gov ernment considers that the purpose of the present negotiations is to make a final settlement of their entire ob ligations for reparations. Section 2: The Gecman govern ment, knowing that it is obliged un der the treaty to pay on May 1, 1921, 120.000.000 gold marks, considers that it has already paid not only that turn, but a much higher one, according to its accounts. Section 3 sets forth that in provid ing for the- future the German gov eminent would bo unable to fulfill its obligations unless tho German budget can be balanced. Section 4 provides that the measure of Germany's ability to pay. owing to her weakened economic structure. requires that she should have neces sary food, fodder, fertilizers and other raw materials. Pay Regulation Sought. Section 5 names the principles upon which the German government con siders its payments shoulu be regu lated (a) by annuities; (b) annuities to be limited to 30 years. Various other sub-sections affirm that a certain sum should be agreed upon, after the- payment of which Germany should be -completely free: that the payment of this sum should be arranged in various amounts; that a schedule should be worked out; and that it should not be absolutely reg ular in character, because it is Ira possible at the present time accu rately to estimate the economic posi tion of Germany for the next SO years. Part two: The German govern ment's suggestion for rebuilding the war destroyed district are in the com mon interests of all peoples because the danger of a feeling of hatred and a cry for revenge will not disappear so long as" this has not been done, The German government has there fore, although not required by the peace treaty to do so, undertaken participation in the rebuilding of those districts. It declares Itself ready to take part In the rebuilding and to eupply German workmen under German authority. German Make Inspection. Upon this basis a Gegman commis sion in September, 1913, made a hur ried inspection of northern France. The German government is willing to undertake the rebuilding of the greater part of the destroyed regions in France. It recommends in the common interest that an international syndicate be formed in which all states shall participate in the resto ration of the industrial and agricul tural regions, as well as means of transportation and in the rebuilding of houses, former residences or for new settlers. This syndicate shall deal with contractors and engage la borers from all allied and neutral countries as well as from Germany. Part three deals with Germany's obligations to deliver materials for the immediate ' restoration of terri tories affected by the war. The note says that the reparations commission has not established what is to be delivered In the way of cat tle, tools and raw materials, or what entire factories are to be restored, but that Germany is ready to make these deliveries to the extent which her resources will permit. $150,000 Drive In Prospect.
