(Copyright, 19"3, by Press Publishing Co.) . ODES8A, RusHla, Jan. 3. (New York WorM Cablegram Special Telegram.) Dis quieting details about the czar'a health are leaking out. Tho pressure of empire la tell 'lng on him. A conitltutlon, never atrong; nervous system which received a shock In a tea rnuse In Japan years ago. when a Jap fanatic attacked him, has been overladen with work which It cannot carry, and by the advice of his physicians he is In the Cri mea to seek rest and change. ' Yalta, where the czar's Crimean resi dence, Llvadla, Is situated. Is one of the loveliest places on earth. Sheltered on the north by a range of high htlla, which break the cold winds coming from the Arctic with out Interruption, It lies on a lovely bay, the waters of which, save on the rarest oc casions, rival the purples and blues of the Aegean. All over the slope of the hills are picturesque villages of the Crimean" Tar tans, lying low in their orchards and cypress groves, and on the higher, rocky slopes the olive and vine find a home. Llvadla Itself Is a paradise. There czars have lavished their treasures to make It what It Is the loveliest retreat In creation, the house Itself Is ostentatiously simple when seen from some distance, but as one ap proaches there is a richness of decoration about it, a marvelous beauty about the grounds, which mark them as the haunt of one who has untold wealth at command and an army of servants. Favorite of Tsarina. Th young czarina went there aa a bride and was enchanted with this pearl of the Russian Riviera. In her northern home, with its frosts of nature and still severer social frosts, the longs for the days when he and "Kolla," as she calls her hCaband, ran tramp arm In arm amid the gardens and cypress groves of Llvadla. None of her people know much of this sweet life, the paper dare not print It; It la spoken about rarely. If at all, and always with bated breath. In Llvadla the czar throwa away all state. Ministers and messengers come and go, courtiers buzz shout, but they are treated by the emperor as friends whom he Jcnew In St. Petersburg, and when their business is done, they sit together on the verandas, smoke cigarettes and look out on the blue watirs of the Black sea at the slow trail of some passing steamer on the borlzon. The czar la an early riser. His German nurse taught him a German proverb, "The early morning has gold In Its mouth." H tjuotes this with a smile when a minister comes late to an appointment at 7 o'clock tn the morning. He dresses hastily It Is without putting on a collar, and takes a rapid walk through the grounds with halt a dozen fbx terriers at his heels, and Tatlana, the next to the eldest little grand duchess, racing behind. At 8 o'clock there Is coffee, but only the family Is present, snd Olga, the eldest daughter, her father's Image, has her place as near him as she can squeeze her little chair. Marie, the third, Is shy and reserved. The rest poke gentle fun at her until she laugh, and then they all laugh. Anlstosla, the youngest. Is only a year and a half old not big enough yet to Join In the fun. On these occasions the czar is lho happiest of mortals, and he looks it. Ministers Come Next. 1 Afterward come the ministers and secre taries with their portfolios and telegrams and' "acts," aa they call their ponderous state documents. The czar reads them all, slaving away at them until mid-day, whlls his wife is with the children, sometimes romping with them when nobody is looking, her nnlden hair streaming at her back as he flies about. English Is alwaya spoken on these occa ions. When the czar and his wife are alone no other language Is used, but if a stranger appears they turn to French. When the czar was deeply immersed in a series of state papers with the minister of the Interior the other day, the door suddenly opened and Olga appeared. "Father," she said. In the best of Eng linn, "come to breakfast, we cannot wait any longer." And Olga waited around until the mighty monarch had to leave his mln later and, seizing her in his arms, off they marched to breakfast, the minister smiling and bowing at the writing table. The luncheon Is a slmplo affair, but there are always from a score to a dozen officers present and any minister who may be In Yalta. The little grand duchesses are there also and worry the lives out of the staid officers with their droll questions, to the Infinite amusement of their parents. Tatlana recently asked a stiff and proper young captain In the navy If he had any little girls like her, and when he answered he had none, she asked ':'Why?" and when he reddened at this the little grand duchess told him she liked bltu better when he looked cool than when he looked hot. If the weather Is One and not too warm there Is a picnic In the afternoon to one of the lovely little Gregian krosques where white marble fronts are seen her and there peeping out of the dark foliage of the evergreen. At 6 o'clock tea there Is also great fun The rzarlna Invariably makes tea herself, after putting on the daintiest of silk and lac aprons. Just as she did In ber old Darmstadt home, and the court ladles pre par the bread ana butter. They all straggle back to Llvadla and at T o'clock they dine. Evening for Work. The evening is devoted by the czar to work, but about 10 o'clock he comes and Joins his wife In the drawing room snd then there Is always l game of whist o preference, while the czarina, who does not play cards, alts down to the piano and plays the old pieces she learned In her German youth, sonatas of Beethoven an gentle minuets from eighteenth centur IContinusd on Fourth Page.) FIND MATRIMONY A FAILURE Uuerr Life Led by the Maruula and Marchioness of Anglesey, (CnpyrtKht, 1!'3. by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON. Jan. 3 N'w York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) English so ciety ha i no more rmnrkable example of the semi-detached couple than the marquis and the marchioness of Anglesey. The marchioness Is the daughter of Sir Oeorgo Chrtwynd, the second husband of the mar chioness of Hastings, the daughter of the second rosrquts of Anglesey. As Lady Flora Tanet this ludy (the mother) a reigning belle, was engaged, away back In tbe six ties, to Homy Chaplin Two days before the wedding she went to Marshall ft Snell grove's dry goods store on Oxford street, ostensibly to make final arrangements for her trousseau, entered the store by the front door, left it by the side door, ran away and married the marquis of Hast ings. How Henry Chaplin's "dark horse" Hermit beat the marquis of Hastings first favorite In the next year's Derby and seriously crippled tbe tatter's fortune is one of the romances of the British turf. When, five years ago. Miss Chetwynd married the marquis of Anglesey (or Lord Uxbrldge, as he then was). It was con sidered a great matrimonial stroke. He had an income of nearly $1,000,000 a year and gave to her 25, 000 worth of Jewelry. They separated after six weeks. In six months she brought suit to have the mar riage nullified, but a few days before the casn was to have been heard she applied to have It withdrawn. The facts never came to light, the case being heard "In camera," but Justice Jeune, who has a unique experience In matrimonial matters, said It was the most extraordinary cane that had ever come to his notice. The stilt was withdrawn, the marquis settled $60,000 a year on the marchioness, and since then they have gone their own ways. The marquis has a bad case of stage mania. He devotes all his time to private theatricals, which he carries out on a lavish scale at his castle, Plas Newydd, In north Wales. The marchioness, considered the most beautiful marchioness in Eng land, passes her time between London, Paris and the Riviera. She 1 of the airy, fairy type, with wonderful pink and whit complexion, tltlanesque red hair, and eyes that only Greuze could do Justice to. She excites unbounded admiration and Interest In her Is heightened by tbe mystery that surrounds her brief matrimonial life.

But the acid still re mains in the pores, and that paper la intal Ubly doomed after an existence more or less prolonged, as the case may be.

Quite a stir was caused at Mrs. Ronald's New Year's party by the arrival of Mrs. Guy Chetwynd, formerly Mrs. Rosaline Becor of New York, in a beautiful gown of green with a hat to match, trimmed with paradise plumes, while he dress was ablaze with dlamonda snd the clasp In her bat was a superb diamond ornament.

HURTS THE USURERS Inner History of the Great Humbert Swindles Coming to Light SHARKS PLUCKED THEM OF THEIR MONEY Pari iani Therefore Are No Longer Crying for Their Punishment TWO LIKELY TO RECEIVE SHORT TERMS Probability that Others Will Hot Be Prosecuted at AIL DAUGHTER IS NOT CONFINED IN PRISON Mme. Humbert Laments. Rails and Protests Her Honesty by Tnrns While Earoatt to the French Capital. (Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS. Jan. 8. (New York World Ca- blegram Special Telegram.) Now that the Humbert are In prison and the public is satisfied that the government Is not trying to screen them, there Is no disposition to prosecute them. Rather, It may be said, there 1 a certain amount of sympathy for the prisoner. Lawyers who may be presumed to know the feeling of the Judges who will pas upon this case say there Is a disposition to look lightly upon Mme. Humbert a conduct. There can be no doubt that honest men suffered through her operations, yet It was not they, but the money lenders (who made enormous sums out of her), and when they saw they could not make more set the law In motion with a view to her exposure. With those blood suckers neither the law nor the public has any sympathy. "Served them right" is the general verdict. The attitude of Leonce Marchand, the millionaire oil merchant of Dunkirk, who is Humbert's biggest creditor, may be taken as an Indication of the procedure which those who are not professional money lenders will adopt toward Mme. Humbert. "My brother and I, between us, loaned Mme. Humbert nearly 12.500.000 francs ($2,500,000)," said he, "and we never got a centime back. What Is the good of try ing to get It back now? Besides, we know quite well that the money never did Therese (Mme. Humbert) any good. It went to satisfy the usurers. As far as we are concerned, Mme. Humbert may have an easy mind. Neither my brother nor I have any Intention of bringing an action against her. We were fools and don't want to have any more to do with an af fair which does not Interest us any more." The situation, therefore, may be summed up as follows: It Mme. Humbert and her brother, Romaln d'Aurlgnac, maintain a discreet silence regarding their relations with those In high quarters they will bene fit by the efforts mads In their behalf by tbe magistracy and those In authority. If any on presses" for a harsh sentence It will be the money lenders, for whom the public has acant regard. . Light Sentences Probable. The probable result will be that Mme. Humbert and Romaln will get sentences of one or two years' Imprisonment and that tbe other members of the family either will be more leniently dealt with or will be set at liberty. It was feared that the Humberts' coming back would lead to rlotoua scenes and re gretable incidents. The prefect of police and the minister of the Interior passed long, anxious hours arranging tbe details of elaborate measures intended to circum vent the public and press. Vp to the last minute no outsiders knew where the de tectives would leave the train from Madrid with their prisoners. Representatives of the Psrls newspapers waited on Prefect Leplne tbe evening before the train was due and asked for Information about the hour and place of arrival. "Come again to morrow morning at ," said Prefect Le pine. When the reporters turned up Mr. Leplne told them to Jump Into carriages in waiting and follow him. They did so and were driven to the Orleans Belt Line station, Just inside the walls of the city. This place had been chosen by the au thorities in order to avoid such a crowd as certainly would have Invaded the new central terminus at Qual d'Orsay had the Humberts landed there. The train arrived before daybreak. A score of detectives lined up alongside the last car, which promptly was uncoupled. snd the remainder of the train resumed Its Journey to central Paris. Hennion the French chief of detectives, who bad accompanied the prisoners from Madrid was tbe first to step down from ths car, Then came Mme. Humbert, dreased In black and wearing a fur boa and dark hat trimmed with violets. She seemed to nave grown much thinner during her residence in Spain. Although she looked tired, her festures wore a stamp of decision. Outside the station Mme. Humbert and Eva were put Into a cab. Two detectives were about to take place beside them when Mme. Humbert, in an Imploring voice, exclaimed: "M. Hennion, can we not be left alone? We are so tired." "Very well," replied Hennion. Then only one detective went Inside the vehicle, the other getting up beside the driver. Marie d'Aurlgnac got into the second cab with two more detectives. Then Hennion shouted: "Bring out the others." Men Com Last. Romaln d'Aurlgnac was the firt of the men to step down. He wss smiling, ss usual, and apparently not In the leaat dls concerted. Emit, bis brother, did not seem to relish bis position. Frederick Hum bert, the husband of Therese, walked with much difficulty, his soft hat pulled down over his eyes. They were also conducted by detectives to cabs. As soon as everybody was ready the party started for the conciergtrte. The proces slon waa headed by policemen on bikes and followed by reporters and photographers It attracted little attention as It raced along toward the prison, the only peopl In the streets at that hour being workmen, Mme. Humbert, overwhelmed with the fa tlgue of the long Journey, fell aaleep on the way. The other prisoners, with the exception of the Irrepressible Romaln, gave themselves up to their reflections. Romal Joked wltb tbe detectives. "I am glad to be back In Paris," he said "but would prefer other company than yours." Then he fell to discussing aloud the merits of the Parlslennes, comparing those passing to their pi acts of business wit Spanish girls. He waa still unboaoroln himself on bis favorite theme when th cab ran Into the prison yard. After being (Continued ea Fourth Pag.) EDWARD IS NOT TO BLAME Klnsj llaa Nothing to I with Auglo Cierman Alliance In Veueseela. LONDON, Jan. 8. The Spectator today gives much prominence to a lengthy letter from Sidney Lee, the well known lecturer snd writer, and Trask, lecturer at Prince ton university, denying that the Anglo-Oer-man co-operation In Venezuela la In any way due to King Edward's sctlon. Mr. Lee throws Interesting and authori tative light on the relations between the king and his ministers. "There la no ground for the suspicion," write' Mr. l.ee, "that any revolutionary change in the rela tions of the sovereign with the ministers has taken place during the last two years. The coll of tradition which now en circles the premier's office is far too heavy to permit him to suddenly surrender any essential part of his power or influence to the sovereign. The sovereign csn not more Initiate a policy for the ministers or impose upon them by the urgency of his appeal a policy of his own devising than hs can by sole au thority promulgate a new law. The sov ereign solely enjoys tb right of criticising the ministers' propoH .J If a minister eems these to be of alue he has it in his power to adopt - But, In accordrJ with the admitted custom, he lnvarl " . treats them as not authoritative sut n and Is entitled to Ignore them al Jl jer without any way ona with the aoverelgn, a offering formal advice jestlsn." .bat when the sovereign .nformally hi views they prejudicing bis ' who Is debarre on any polltl Mr. Lee r even expre' must take-. atatlve Interrogatory form, which barely Valses them above the level of any irresponsible suggestion." No trace of subservience has been suffered to survive the ministry's manner of corre spondence with the crown. Custom prohib its a minister from allowing his final de- Iston to be controlled, effectively, by royal wishes or hopes. The minister has only to meet a royal suggestion which falls to commend Itself to him with a directive negative, except In the rarest caae, to extinguish It sum marily.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Jan. 8. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) "Never, never will I go back there. Never would I return to tbe position of princess. They are siaves aristocratic slaves to eti quette slaves, nothing else" Crown Prin cess of Saxony. Divorce or no divorce, married or not married, we will live together always. Madame, the crown princess, has herself written to tbe pope laying all tne c:rcum- stances before him." Crown Princess lover. Such were the emphatic, aye, passionate declarations the eloping Crown Princess Louise of Saxony and Andre Giron, formerly the tutor of her royal children, made to the World correspondent. "But It Is said that it will be Impossible to get the pope's consent to a divorce, as canonical grounds cannot be adjudged and as Catholics you cannot be married until the pope annuls a previous marriage," the correspondent remarked. "In writing to him," Glron responded. "madame quoted an instance in which the Vatican granted annulment of marriage un der similar conditions." Glron did not cite the Instance relied upon, but the correspondent has reason to believe that It Is the case of Lady Mary Hamilton, a Bister of the late duke of Ham ilton, who married the present princess of Monaco and who separated from him at the end of a month on the plea that she was not a consenting party to the contract and married against her will. The pope an nulled the marriage. Not a Fortunate Situation. Lady Mary subsequently married Count Tassilo Festetics, and the only son of this union committed suicide last week by hang ing himself from the bars of a window in a room In an asylum for tbe Insane, where he had been confined. This caae obviously Is not parallel to that of the crown princess. But the latter clearly meditates getting a civil divorce If not a religious one, and Lu- chenal, her lawyer In Geneva, Is making Inquiries concerning the possibilities of do. 4ng so.- ... . . --. .... It Is ssid that you Intend to live In Paris," the World correspondent said. 'Yes," replied the princess. "I have only apent twelve days of my life tn Paris, but I love It. We will live with economy for ourselves, but will cultivate art. When we can safely do so we will go there. At pres ent I am advised that we could be arrested on French soil. So If we had gone to Men- tone we ahould be now In prison. Indeed, we are prisoners here, as we cannot yet leave Canton Geneva. But It Is a beautiful prison." The first Impression on seeing the elop ing crown princes and her Belgian cav alier, Andre Glron, Is one of surprised dis illusionment. Picture a short, thin Ger man "frau" without a trace of color in her face, her eyes light gray, her hair a dull blonde, her features worn, altogether a neutral tinted woman, dressed in severe black, black felt sailor hat, thick, black, loose-fronted tailor-made reefer coat reach ing nearly to her knees, short, black cloth skirt, flat-heeled boots, a substantial um brella across her arm and a spacious black tourist sstchel slung ever her r.houlder, a figure without distinction, without style. Such Is the heroine of ths latest European royal srandal. Glron Look Like a Boy. She was leaving the Hotel d'Angleterr for a morning walk and by ber side was a tall, very slight youth, hat in hand, show ing dark hair brushed off high, rather an Intellectual forehead, a large, slightly hooked nose, a somewhat weak mouth, with thin lips not concealed by a faint black mustache; chin almost receding, quick, Intelligent, sympathetic dark eyea. In face and figure Glron is a mere boy. He might be 18, while the crown princess look all of her 32 years. The Hotel d'Angleterre Is an excellent but unpretentious hostelry. On the first floor, looking across the lake at Mount Blanc, they occupy two bedrooms, with a small salon between. The crown prlnceas has suddenly and completely cast aside luxury and state royalty. She now live the same quiet, comfortable existence as do tbe ten or a dozen other persons stop ping at the hotel, who consist chiefly of women with young children. mere are only two point on which the crown princess differs from them, and those are from necessity not inclination. The princes has ber meals In private with Glron, because the dislike to be stared at, and she goes round every morning to a hair dresser on the Rue de Mont Blanc to get her balr done as she haa no maid and has forgotten the art of doing it her self. When the World correspondent de sired to see tbe princess Glron first told him she had received only two represents tlves of newspapers, one Austrian, one German, In order to acquaint her own peo ple with her case and her Intentions. However, after some negotiation, the World correspondent was ushered Into their salon The room was furnished In tbe fashion of the stereotyped Swiss hotels white lace blinds on long French windows, two arm chairs, a couch, uphlostered in dark red velvet, two tables with damask covera and three ordinary chairs disposed about tbe room. t'hrlstmna Tree In Room. A woman's hand was seen In bunches of flowers here and there, chiefly white, and a refined woman's presence was denoted by the faintly perfumed atmosphere and a couple of dainty bonbon boxes, presents from Giron. There also remained the German Christmas tree, with Its glistening silvered balls, a memento surely, of the strangeat yuletlde this archduchess and crown princess has ever spent. The crown princess waa aeated near a window reading. She was dreased in a light silk blouse of very plain make, while she still wore a black walking skirt.

ENERGETIC MEN TAKE INITIAL STEPS Adopt Businesslike Methods to Attaii the End in View. RECOGNIZE OPPOSITION OF RAILROADS Committee of Five Men Appointed to Assemble Figures and fact OBJECT IS TO PROVE DISCRIMINATION Furthermore Committee la Expected to Convince Railroad Companies that Grain Market Would Be to Their Advantage. The campaign for the establishment of a grain market In Omaha Is now under way. It was formally lauched at the meeting of those citizens in any way interested held in the exchange room at the Board of Trade building Saturday afternoon. Some two score men appeared to take tpen and active part In the Initial event of this crusado started In behalf of the commercial Interests of this city against the railroads which op pose the market. As a consequence of this meeting a sys tematic movement toward securing the mar ket is already on foot. Businesslike meth ods were adopted from the first. It was recognized Immediately and frankly by the conference that the plan depended for suc cess upon the help of the railways which now oppose It, and steps vere taken to alter this attitude. It was admitted that without such a change In the sentiments of tho roads tho market could not tope to thrive and It was agreed that the first thing In order was to show the railroads that It would be to their own interests to aid th scheme. To this end, after much deliberation and open discussion, a committee of five men waa appointed to assemble figures and facts to show the railroads that they were dis criminating against Omaha, and also to prove to them that they would gain by not doing so, that tbe grain mnrket would be to their benefit. At the close ot the meeting Chairman E. P. Peck appointed P. 3. Her, N. Merrlam, W. C. Sunderland, Jnmea Walsh and L. R. Cottrell on this committee. Mr. Peck stated that be had endeavored to give due consideration to the interests ot both grain men and the Board ot Trade In his selection. A recess was then taken for two weeks, after which interval the body wl.l again meet In tbe same place to hear aud act upon the report ot ths committee. Men at the Meeting. . The sole disappointing feature of th meeting was the dearth of grain men pres ent. Less than a score of the forty or more In the city were there to show an open front In the fight. This fact was th sub ject of considerable oomment on the part Ot thos cltlxens who spoke to. Ih matUtv,. of th grain market. - Th grain men were: N. Merrlam, J. IL Hamilton J. H. Conrad, P. E. Her, 8. A. McWhorter, B. P. Peck, F. C. Holllnger, W. C. Sunderland, Thomas Baker, Jamea Walsh, J. Comstock, L. R. Cottrell, F. J. Campbell, John E. Von Dorn, F. A. Grits ner, F. Falkner of Schuyler, Neb., and N. A. Duff of Nebraska City. The directorate of the Board ot Trad was represented by two members, James Walsh and S. A. McWhorter. Two railroad men only were present. They were George Entrlkln, division freight agent of tbe Wa bash railroad, and W. Lalng, contracting freight agent tor tbe same road. ( One question that has been much agitated during the last week was decisively settled. That was that the market Is to be under the auspices of the Omaha Board of Trade. It was decided that no tther pin would, carry behind it the stability and backing that the Board of Trade can lend to the project. There was some sentiment to the contrary expressed by a few men present, but the majority was Insistent that no other plan should be considered for a mo ment. To that end the Immediate organ isation was left absolutely temporary In . order that everything may be swung In to the Board of Trade directorate as soon as the preliminary rteps are completed. 1'roceedlng In Detail . The session continued a little more than an hour, commencing at 3.30. Mr. Peck was at once installed as temporary chair man and F. C. Holllnger aa secretary. Tb object of tbe meeting was stated and thos present called upon for expressions on the matter. P. E. Her was first called. Hs sold: "We can get this thing If the railroads will help us. It will be of the greatest benefit to the city In every way. With that grain market here and the railroads all favorable to It there la hardly a limit to what the town can become. But It all de pends on these railways." James Walsh followed: "Outsiders who look at this city and note Its location say that there Is something wrong. And there Is something wrong. It can be righted only by agitation. The grain men can do It it they will all stand together. The qu-sstlon before us la bow to reach the corporations that are opposing this market. Not nearly all the grain men are present. The absent ones are here in tbe spirit, but not In per son. They are afraid that some of the fa vors they are enjoying at the hands of these railroads in question will be cut off. Those that are here are the Independent ones who are going in this thing from the first for all there Is In It. Omaha should b ona of tbe biggest grain markets. It location warrants .it. All ws want Is Justice from the railroads and we will become that. In order to get justice the grain men must say what they know eoncernlng the discrimina tion that Is practiced against this city by the roads." Mr. Merrlam Speaks. N. Merrlam was called upon to tell what he knew of this discrimination. "I am not prepared to ssy whether Omaha haa ths recognition due It from the railroads or not," said he. "It not. the pe.ople of the city are to blame. Tbey can compel It. I understand that Kansas City was in that condition a few years ago. It broke Its bonda and if we unit Omaha can do ths same, It there are any bonds. I shall not ssy there are. If we are being discriinl nsted sgalnat we must have tbe figures to show that we are. I believe that If th railroads are shown In facts and figure that they are discriminating against this city they will help eliminate the evil. W must have the flgurea." I'pon this Mr. McWhorter moved that a committee be appointed to get up these facts and figures. Mr. Van Ixrn seconded the motion. Mr. Her moved ss an amend ment that the rommi'tee also Investigate and elucidate th necessity and advtaablU It of bringing to Omaba exieusiv manu- I
