New York. Oct. S. When the Ham-burs-American
liner Graf Waldcrsee
ailed from this port aha had among- har
aaloon paaaengere "Baron" Frederick
von Gordon -Seefeld and his American
bride, a beautiful New Orleans airl. The
two left for Germany much against the
wtshea of the bride's relatives, and In
fact so opposed hare the latter been
all along to the match that the girl's
brother searched New York high and
lew In an effort to locate her, even em
ploying Flnkerton detectives to assist In
the ehase.
Many and strange are the troubles
that have met the "baron" In America.
He came here with the avowed intention
of marrying an American heiress, and it
la said he succeeded. Yet It was a stony
path he trod and at one time It led him
behind prison bars.
That was when he met the charming
'Countess" Ilka Klnkay-Pslmay, an
opera singer who had come here from
Budapest. The acquaintance began by
the "baron" borrowing 12,009 and ended
by .the "i iniiilsas," (lawsliig hit arrest.
and by his making restitution.
When she appeared In court to press
the charges against the "baron" the
"countess" declared she had met Seefeld
In the studio of a prominent artlat. She
declared that after an acquaintance of
Ave days he had visited her and with
tears In his eyes told her of how a
heartless automobile dealer was going
to take away his car from him because
he could not meet the balance of the
payment. On learning that the sum due
was only 12,000, the "couhtesa" wrote
out a check and the "baron" gave her a
written slip that read:
"I owe Countess Klnaky-Palmay two
thouaand dollars', which I shall pay to
her In three wests' time.
"FRED VON GORDO N-BKBFELD.
-New York, Nov. IS, IMS."
The "countess" produosd the note In
court, and later the "baron" made full
restitution.
A dinner given at Pabat'a also almost
ended In the courts, but somehow things
were straightened out and the threat
ened sensation never materialised. .
Following that the "baron" disap
peared from New Tore Not until his
name (without the title) appeared on

through the district attorney's office nta
life love story became known.
During the lata winter, which ha spent
In New Orleans, the "baron" met a
charming girl, the daughter of a
wealthy southerner. He made love to
the young woman and married her re

(Jour d1 Spaelal Berries.)
Providence, R. I., Oct. I. After
months of preliminary skirmishing, the
political campaign In Rhode Island,
whose nominal object Is the election of

George P. Wetmore, has been fslrly

paign. The contest in Rhode Island this year
nominally involves e senatorshlp only,
with a three-cornered fight in progress
between Mr. Wet more, who holds the
seat. Colonel Qoddard, the candidate of
the Democrats, and their Republican al
lies, and Colonel Colt, the alleged can

of which Senator Nelaon W. Aldrleh Is
the dominating force. Beyond and be
neath the aspirations snd ambitions of
theee rival candidates, the campaign In
volves, possibly, the' future political
status, economic policy and public mor
als of the state.
The formal letter of acceptance of
Colonel Ooddard supplies the keynote of
the campaign. It la generally regarded
aa a severe indictment of the Repub

Ooddard relies upon the statement of
his letter of acceptance that the people
want to down the corrupt bosses, stran

keen longing to go to the senate, his
wide business connections throughout
