TJnwood B. Cornell and James Ij
Albert of rortland, representatives of
tho Alexander -Hamilton Institute
talked before tho forum luncheon u4.
the Hotel Medford this noon on "IIiikIc
and Fundamental UukIiii'ss Cycles."
Mr. Albert. was tho principal speak
er and illustrated tho operation of
fundamental business laws of supply
and demand and compensation und
their effect on loanable funds, the
New York stock exchange and . the
spending power of tho American pub
lic with a chart. The cycle principle
was clearly illustrated and the speaker
declared that In order to be a succohs
in business the manager must study
these fundamental and irrevocable
laws with relation to his business.
In terminating his speech he stated
that no qualms need be felt because
of the general foreign situation and
tho French occupation of the Ruhr
as the power of foreign activities to
affect American business and tho pur
chasing power of tho nation is less
than the increase in purchasing power
during the past year.
He predicted a solid, happy, sound
business outlook for 1923 and 1924
and urged merchants and business
men not to .consider themselves In
business merely for profit but to
realize, that they are in business to
render a service to tho community.

business men present and a number
of them congratulated tho speaker on
his explanation of tho fundamental
laws of business.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21. Prince Mig
uel DeBraganza, eldest son of Don
Miguel Braganza, pretender to the
throne of Portugal, died here today of
double pneumonia. Tho prince, who
was 45 years old, came to this country
recently to earn a living by selling
insurance for the firm controlled by
relatives of his wlfo, who was Miss
Anita Stewart of New York.
His marriage to Miss Stewart was
solemnized In Scotland In 1909 after
royal complications had been smooth
ed over by the late Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria who raised the
bride to the title of princess.
At the time of tho wedding It was
generally reported that the bride re
ceived a gift of $2,000,000 from her
mother, Mrs. James Henry Smith,
who had been divorced from William
Henry Stewart.
Three children were born to them,
PrinceBS Elizabeth, 12 years old.
Prince Jean, 10, and Prince Miguel, 7.
Soon after the marriage of the
prince ho was sued for $1,000,000 by a
syndicate of creditors in Vienna and
his furniture and household effects
were seized.
Emperor Francis Joseph later dis
charged his debts. Meanwhile the
prince went to London and for a time
was" employed in a brokers office. In
October 1911, reports were current
that he would seek the Portuguese
throne through a secret engagement
between his father and former King
Manuel, should the royalists win a
coup. It waB reported that he lind
raised a loan of $10,000,000 for the
royalist cause but tho movement col
lapsed, ' - :'
At the outbreak of tho war Emperor
William of Germany made him a lieu
tenant in the sixth lancer regiment.
He later became a captain in the Ger
man cavalry.
The prince then dropped from pub
lic notice until 1919 when the conti
nental papers reported he would be
offered the throne of Portugal. Noth
ing happened however, and ho came
to New York.

liam Rhinelnnder Stewart, whose wife
after her divorce married the late
