KAISER BELIEVER
N - SPIRITUALISM
Maximilian Harden, Who Re
vealed Zu Eulenberg Scan
dal, Makes Charge.
BERLIN IS IN UPROAR
Fearless Editor of Zukunft Says Em
peror's Policies Often Have
Been Dictated by Voices
of Bead.
BERLIN, July 11. (Special.) That
the Kaiser, as at one time was Czar Nich
olas of Russia, is a firm believer in spir
itualism and that his policies, at least
at times, have largely been dictated by
spirits, is the amazing statement made
by Maximilian Harden, the famous ed
itor of the Zukunft, whose revelations
started the Prince Eulenburg scandal.
Harden, who is absolutely fearless and
who has never retracted anything he
has said, was interviewed the other
day, and it was then that he made the
statement which now, since it has been
published, has aroused such a tre
mendous sensation here that people
talk of little else.
Speaking of the spiritistic atmos
phere of the Llebenberg "Tafelrunde,"
of the numerous seances in which even
the late Kaiser Wilhelm took part,
Harden declares that these had a very
harmfui influence upon the present
Kaiser, who has always been Inclined
towards mysticism.
For a long time the Kaiser always
consulted the spirits about matters of
state and wore his watch in a piece of
cloth which a spirit had left after a
seance at Prince Eulenburg's house.
Bo far no official notice has been
taken of Harden's astonishing state
ment, but with the sensation it has
stirred up it is almost impossible to
suppose the Kaiser could afford not to
deny the allegations made. No one,
however, believes that the daring edit
or will be arrested, as it. is known that
he possesses knowledge of certain af
fairs which, if revealed, would scan
dalize certain high personages at
court.
Trajan, bound for Constantza, intending
to proceed trom that port to Iassy and to
travel thence with his wife to Russia.
The news of his departure having been
telegraphed by spies straight to Yllolz
-Kiosk strict orders were issued fhat he
was to be put ashore at any coast either
at Smyrna or at .Constantinople. A dep
utation met the colonel at Smyrna as
suring him that the Sultan had pardoned
htm, but he refused to leave the boat. At
Constantinople the colonel was met by
a lieutenant of the Imperial Guard who
again assured him that he had been
pardoned and at the same time promoted
to the rank of a general. Zaur Ahmed
Bey, however, rejected the Sultan's gen
erosity and refused to speak to the Im
perial envoy.
After this failure the Turkish govern
ment in embarrassment applied to the
Roumanian government, asking that the
colonel as a political refugee should not
be allowed to leave Constantinople on a
Roumanian boat. After an agitated stay
of seven hours at Constantinople the
Trajan was released at 9 o'clock in the
evening at the receipt of the following
telegram from Bucharest: "By order of
His Majesty King Charles the Trajan
is to leave, immediately with the political
refugee."
Indescribable enthusiasm was aroused
among the passengers at the receipt of
the order vhich undoubtedly saved the
officer's life.
ROMAN WITCH ARRESTED
GAINED GREAT WEALTH BY
PRACTICE OP BLACK ART.
Police Gain Access to House or Mys
tery Through Strategy Make
Queer Discoveries.
ROME. July 11. (SpeclaJ.) In a modest
house hidden in a maze of alleys in a
suburb of Perugia strange ceremonies,
it is reported, take place and mysterious
rites are celebrated. The house was
frequented by women of the town and
now and again some damsel who had
been crossed in love or some wife who
was jealous of her husband. The police
heard vague rumors of the proceedings,
but had not until now succeeded la prob
ing the mystery. .
A chauffeur, who was accompanied by
a groom carrying under his arm a bundle
of papers, one day this week stopped his
car opposite the mysterious house, the
doors of which were closed. The car
had apparently broken down. The
chauffeur and the groom, who were
really police agents in disguise, left their
machine and knocked at the door to ask
for a pair of pliers. The door was
opened by a woman who, suspecting
nothing, was going in search of the"de
slred implement, when the two men held
her back, entered the house and slammed
the door in her face.
Strange and terrible was the aspect of
the Interior. The walls were hung with
mysterious symbols, human skulls and
crosy bones, bottles, large and small,
swords of strange shapes, heads of dogs,
cats and other animals, in fact, all the
traditional implements of mediaeval
witchcraft. A thorough search was made
and several books were found containing
a quantity of invocations to the evil one.
The sorceress, a woman of about 50,
who possesses a vast property purchased
with the money she had wheedled from
her credulous customers, was arrested
and carried away in the automobile. Her
trial will reveal many Interesting facts
about witchcraft in Perugia.
KING EDWARD GROWS OLD
"o Longer Able to Bear Hardships
of Travel.
LONDON. July 11. (Special.) That King
Edward is no longer as young as he has
been was painfully evident judging frrfm
the condition in which he returned to
London the night before last after a
three days' journey to Leeds and Bristol.
While Queen Alexandra who accompanied
the- King was as fresh end bright as
ever, and did not seem to have minded
the trip at all. King Edward was barely
able to walk from the railroad-car to his
carriage and it will be necessary for him
to take several weeks complete rest
which he will probably spend at Brighton
where the air is very beneficial to him.
Tho Queen will not accompany her
husband but intends to spend as much
oi her time at her bungalow until sha
goes to Denmark to stay for several
weeks with her sister the Dowager Em
press cf Russia- at the villa they have
bought between Copenhagen and Blsinore.
SAVES LIFE BY FLIGHT
Turkish Army Officer Barely Eludes
Sultan's Vengeance.
BERLIN, July 11. (Special.) Colonel
Zaur Ahmed Bey, a Turkish officer who
had Incurred the displeasure of the
Turkish government, or rather of the
Sultan, has lust had a remarkable escape
from that country. He embarked at
Alexandria on the Roumanian steamboat
CARUSO'S LOT NOT HAPPY
FAMOUS TENOR BEWAILS PEN"'
ALTIES OF HIS GREATNESS.
Looks Back Sadly to Days When He
Was Care-Free on $2
Per Week.
PARIS, July 11. (Special.) Enrico
Caruso, who is performing at the opera
in his first Parisian season, has been
explaining to an interviewer the pen
alties be pays for being the most ex
pensive tenor on earth and how he
sighs for the days when he was less
famous.
"The man who has paid his money
to hear me, the management which
pays me J2000 a night," he said
"would not forgive me if I were not
always In the best of form. Trusted by
some, watched by others, I am a ma
chine which must never be out of order.
But the machine is human and subject
to external influences, people forget that.
&o tne thought that I may not come
up to the mark haunts me continually and
tortures me when I am about to walk
on the stage. I tell you frankly I was
happier when I was earning ten francs
a night., I spent seven francs, kept three
and knew that my reputation was not
ruined If I happened to give a creak.
I am always hungry. Before sintrine
1 smoke like a chimney, but I take noth
ing but a cup of tea on account of my
voice. When I am taking parts which
keep hie on the stage the whole time I
do not think of it. but when I have lone
intervals 1 reel the terrible pangs of
nunger gnawing within.
"My peculiar form of stage fright
makes me the unhappiest man in the
world when I am about to sing. In my
present position at ne point at which
I have arrived I am forbidden to have
the least weakness. I am in the case of
a man who must, cost what It may. be
continually at tne pitch of his reputa
tion.
FEAR KITCHENER'S RETURN
Persons High in Authority Would
, Keep Him In Exile.
LONDON, July 11. (Special.) There is
a lot of intrigues going on Just now with
the object of keeping Lord Kitchener
away from this country and sending him
on another tour of foreign service when
his term In India expires in November
next. The reason that Lord Kitchener is
not wanted here is partly the stern un
compromising way he acted in South Af
rica during the Boer war which made him
very unpopular with many officers of
aristocratic families who wanted to treat
the war as a picnic and who were made to
toe the mark by the commander-in-chief.
Another even more serious reason is
that there is not the slightest doubt that
it Lord Kitchener joined the army coun
cil at headquarters as he desires to he
would bring to light many things that
there is the greatest desire of keeping
secret and some high officials would have
a very uncomfortable time of it.
The influence of several society ladles
of the first importance has been invoked
in ortler to keep Kitchener abroad and it
is now being suggested that he should be
offered the governorship of one of the
Australian colonies, but it is almost cer
tain that he would refuse to accept an of-
nce wnere ne would be unable to keep in
touch with army affairs.. He is too much
of a soldier for that.

Great Britain in order to comply with the

International Steel Trust. American and
German steel magnates who have been ac

have been interviewed and all agree that
it will be only a few weeks before the
scheme will be carried into execution. The
trust which has its headquarters in this
city has already had applications from
practically every steel 'manufacturing
center in the world and is now actively
engaged In deciding upon a plan by which
it can arrange an output serviceable for
both export and import purposes.
The additional capital of the combine
will amount to J750.000.000 and the "Iron

German syndicates allied with the com

of plants In Great Britain which will give
employment to many, thousands of men,
and will have the effect of cheapening
steel generally.
INJURED HUSBAND KILLED
Shot by Wife's Paramour While In
Act of Forgiving Her for In
fidelity Marquis An
other Victim.
ROME, July 11. (Special.) Two beau
tiful women of title figure as principal
In two sensational love dramas which
have occurred in Northern Italy. Count
ess Ginevra Bentivoglio. who belongs to
a very old . and once powerful Bologna
family and is barely 21 years of age. lias
been involved in one of these. She was
taken straight from a convent three
years ago and married to a Masala wine
dealer named Lapaglia. The couple
uvea in a small flat In Bologna, quite
happily, but kept no servant, taking
their meals in a nearby restaurant. Their
only child had been put out to be raised
by peasants in the mountains.
A young Venetian magistrate, named
Paternoster, came to Bologna, was
struck by the Countess' beauty and laid
siege to her heart, finally persuading her
to elope with him. The Countess, making
tne pretense of a trip to Sicily for a pro
longed stay with a relative, joined Pat
ernoster in Rome, whence, after
despatching a batch of letters bearing
the Naples and Palermo postmarks, the
runaway couple took a train for Paris.
They stayed here about two weeks and,
as their funds were giving out. they
moved to Lugano. When they had no
more money the Countess became peni
tent and telegraphed her husband that
she was ready to come home to beg his
forgiveness, and also appealed to a local
lawyerfrlend to intervene in her behalf.
The distressed hupband. who mean'
while had been traveling day and night,
scouring Sicily, Rome, Paris, London and
Switzerland In search of her, telegraphed
that he was willing to forgive and for
get. The lawyer friend met the Count
ess at Lugano and, despite the delirious
demeanor of Paternoster, who threatened
to kill her and commit suicide, succeeded
in escorting her to Milan, where he tele
graphed to the husband to meet her the
same evening. Paternoster followed them
and lay In wait. No sooner had he
caught sight of the unfortunate husband
than he assailed him furiously and then
mortally wounded him with two shots
He was Immediately arrested.
The Marchese Corradi, who has been
shot dead by the husband of a beautiful
society lady, Is the victim of the other
tragedy. On rising one morning the hus
band caught his wife in an adjoining
room in the act of writing a passionate
love letter to the Marquis. The wife
threw the unfinished missive out of th
window to prevent her husband from
seizing it, but he rushed downstairs in
the street and picked It up.
After reading it he went with a loaded
revolver to a neighboring hotel and killed
the marquis in the lobby. He then fled
to the woods, but was caught the next
morning, while creeping back to his
home. There followed a startling de
velopment of the case. Signora Fanny
Zaccaria heiself (this was the name of
the unfaithful wife) though seriously ill
in bed, was haled to prison accused of
being an accomplice In the murder of
the marquis. The police hint that there
is a further mystery in the affair which
they cannot yet divulge.
A curious feature of the case Is the
fact that Mme. Zaccaria was due to ap
pear In court at Leece next week in con
nection with proceedings she had started
against a woman in whose fcompany she
had surprised her husband some time ago.
It is stated that when Mme. Zaccara
confessed her infidelity to her husband
he presented her with a small revolver
and told her to shoot herself. Mustering
her resolution she kissed her husband,
closed her eyes, and exclaiming "All is
over," fired a shot through the ceiling.
Fire Drives 200 Into Street.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 11. Two hun
dred persons rendered homeless and eight
buildings burned and contents destroyed,
causing a loss estimated at J60.000, is the
result of a fire starting in a vacant frame
house this morning. For more than an
hour seven fire companies, aided by 67
men with a hydraulic giant engaged in
sluicing operations on Beacon Hill,
worked to save buildings In the neighbor
hood before the flames were under con
trol. The occupants made homeless are
mostly Japanese, although a few negroes
and white persons lived in the burned
district.
TROUBLE NOT IMPOSSIBLE
Followers of Arias Will Be at Polls
in Panama.
PANAMA, July 11. The electoral situa
tion has been much cleared by the with
drawal of Rlcardo Arias, the constitu
tional candidate for the Presidency, but
in spite of this the adherents of Domingo
de Obaldia, the independent candidate,
have relaxed their efforts but very little
and it is planned to elect Senor Obaldia
as conclusively as possible. Since the
withdrawal of Arias the possibility of
American intervention is much more re
mote, but even so, the condition of af
fairs is critical. The followers of Arias
will be at the polls and trouble and dis
order are not by any means out of the
question. The Governor of the Canal
Zone has sent to every town of the Re
public Commissioners to watch the elec
tions and take note of everything that oc
curred. Among these men are 13 Amer
ican army officers and as many more
employes of the Canal Commission. The
sentiment of the country is undoubtedly
with Obaldia, who Is supported by the
Liberal . party, which counts at least 60
per cent of the population of Panama and
half of the constitutionals. Obaldia Is a
wealthy cattle owner of Chlrique, son of
an ex-President of Colombia and he has
in the past been Governor of the State
of Panama and Acting President of tha
Republic.
If the people see that their right to vote
as they please is not respected there are
bound to be serious disorders, because
there are many who would prefer Amer
ican occupation.
The American authorities are fully pre
pared to see that the elections are fair
and to put down any serious trouble with
energy. '
Two hundred and seventy-six Presiden
tial electors are to be chosen and out of
this total it is predicted no less than 20?
will be out for Obaldia. The electors will
meet on August 1 to elect a President."
