Chicago, Oct. 31 For three weeki Chicago sociologists have unknowing ly entertained a princess of the blood royal of Germuny, residing under i commonplace name at the Young Women's Christian Association build ing and Investigating slum condi tions in this city. Not until today was the discover made that Blmple Frailen Mari Winkler was no less than a represen tative of her Imperial Highness tht Empress of Germany, a countess and member of the royal house of Ilohen collern and by birth a cousin of tht Emperor. The countess revealed hei real Identity under protest. By her statements, for the first time it became known that the Ger man Government Is inquiring speclU cally Into the alleged traffic In whlu women to this country as virtuni Slaves. The deportation of women from the fatherland and other conn tries to America for unlawful pur poses so aroused the German Emp ress that the Countess Von Wurteut- berg had beer deputized to represent her in'an endeavor to collect statis tics in the United States to control the evil that was claimed to exist So thorough have been the Investiga tions of the Countess that today sh declared she had virtually covered the entire city of Chicago, and nexl week would be ready to leave for th West, where her plans and those ol her society called for an Inquiry intt conditions existing In San Francisco "I have been on a general tour ol the South Side, and found the soda! vice extended to a class of women that I have not heretofore beet called upon to deal with. The clasi of women are of a social scale that ) am utterly at a loss to understand as inmates of the places I have vis- lieu. iney seem to be above tht ordinary type, of education and cod duct. Primarily, I was instructed tt deal with the so-called 'system b) which women were imported to Nevi York, and under a specific assign ment are brought to Chicago and other western cities. While this sys tem may be In vogue, and I am in structed that It Is, I believe most ol the women now held In places of vlcf in Chicago and in other places nre re duced to their present condition aftei a terrific battle to hold their owt with the world by seeming employ ment at wages that In the end prom ise starvation. I am not acting Ir the Interests of any soclologlca body. I am seeking to find out foi the Government that I represent whether In this country there Is nnj regularly organized body which t raf fles In the sale of white women froir Germany. I am glad to stale that s majority of the woien from mj country, even of the peasant class are safely taken cure of and eventu ally find good homes." HOOE CONVICTED OF PERJURY. Negro Swore Falsely in Attacking Name of Mrs. Hartje. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 31. Clifford Hooe, the negro who was formerly employed by Augustus C. Hartje as coachman, was convicted of perjury In court yesterday for having sworn to outrageous charges Involving Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, the beautiful wits of bis former employer. The Jury which bad been hearing the evidence for several days was out only a short time after having heard the Judge's charge and returned the verdict of guilty. Hooe's attorneys will probably take an appeal. j The charge against Hooe grew out j of his connection with the divorce! suit of Hartje against his wife, which occupied the attention of the courts some months ago. Hooe was offered as a witness on behalf of the husband and made a deposition to the effect that he had a laison with Mrs. Hart-' Je, that she had visited him fre quently at the stables and had made love to him and kissed him. The utterance of these charges produced a great shock and investigation showed that the negro had been paid STOPS WEDDING III IDE ALTAR WOl'LD-llE UKIDE DEMANDS DEED TO PROPERTY IN AD VANCE OF CEREMONY.

JAP EXCLUSION LOCAL BISHOP HAKIMS SAVS XO HHEAK IN CORDIALITY BETWEEN NATIONS WILL RESI LT. New York, Oct. 31. Bishop M. C. Harris, Missionary Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church for Jap an and Korea, was the speaker yes terday at the Methodist preachers meeting. He referred to the protest made by the Japanese Ambussadoi at Washington because of the exclu sion of Japanese children from the schools In San Francisco. In dis cussing this matter Bishop llarrii said: "This incident will not lessen the cordiality of the relations that now exlBt between the two governments It is true that there has of late been a reign of hoodlumlsm in San Fran cisco and Japanese there have been shamefully treated in many instan ces. I was there for a week at the time It WBjH really unsafe for Japan ese to venture in the streets at night "In spite of these thugs, however. the Japanese are fully aware that they proceed from local conditions and do not indicate a national preju dice on our part. The Japanese peo ple are sincerely desirous of main taining good relations with the Americans. They have the greatest I respect for President Roosevelt, too and they are satisfied that under his dlreclion the American Cove will do what Is right. Whatever :. riiiys or doe; l-j widely cot.ii.iented ':, n Japan and I he people th.'iv ha'- ciiUiideiice that what he may do wi; righ'." urday he secured a licenss to wed Miss Pack and secured the services of the Rev. F. S. Brush for the cere mony. A few guests were Invited and all preparations had been made, when the bride-to-be asked the groom-elect to give her a deed of hit home where the wedding was to have taken place. This he refused to dc and when M. S. Taylor, an attorney, appeared in the house ready to exe cute a deed in favor of the bride. Bittleson called a halt In the proceed ings. He declared that the wedding would not take place and told the Rev. Brush It would be useless for htm to wait. The guests and the minister then left the house. According to Bittleson, his troubles did not end here. When he returned to his home Monday evening 1 he found all the doors and windows I locked and Miss Pack and her Bister, j who was visiting there for the day, refused to allow him to onter his owr home. The matter was reported tc i the police and Policeman Rogers j eompelled the women to allow Bit- f tleson to enter. j Bittleson declares the woman wanted to marry him for his prop- l erty. "When she brought that law yer to the house to draw up the deed it was too much for me and I called j the ceremony off," declared Blttle- I son. Then hs continued. "I had I ! deed drawn up which I Intended pre- ! senting to the woman after Bhe had j become my wife, but her haste was ! too great and I will never marrj j her."
