HEATS HANK AT MONTE CARLO
Woniim takes advantngp of Wheel
That is out of Order
Monte Carlo, April 4. The Casino
management has lost several million
francs because ot the fact that a
roulette wheel was out of gear and
periodically the ball stopped at a
certain number. The winner Is a
French widow nicknamed "Mamma

Some weeks ngo she lost heavily at
the gaming table and having noticed
the fault of that particular roulette
wheel, asked that her money be re
turned to her. The management re
fused, and Mamma Vlaud took her
revenge.
With the help of two other adven
turers she set to work to Btudy the
wheel and placed her money when
ever she found out that certain
numbers would be the winners.
The managers were for some time
mystified, and after the closing
hours held experiments with the
croupiers to find out how the woman
won. The numbers played by her
and her assistants, which had been
carefully taken down by special
detectives during the day, were play
ed over and over again by the emplo
yees and to the astonishment ot the
directors It was found that they
won.
The management finally decided
to come to a compromise with Mam
ma Vlaud. and paid her $300,000 to
loam that one roulette wheel was
out of order.

HUT 1
Kaiser Wants Prince Oscar
to Associate With
American Boys.
BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER
Ilia Elder brother was first Intended
for an American EducaUon-KiU-er's
admiration for President
Itoosevclt and Ambassador Tower
lod to his choice of Harvard.
London. April 4. The Berlin
correspondent of the Dally Mall says
thnt the Kaiser's decision to send his
fifth son, Prince Oscar, to Harvard
University Is a continuation of his
Majesty.'s American policy which
began with his despatching his bro
ther, Prince Henry of Prussia to the
United States In 1908 and which has
been kept up In the meantime by a
series of compliments, such as the
donation of statues, buying American
yachts, the exchange of professors
by German and American universi
ties and by conspicuous hospitality
to distinguished American visitors.
Nothing definite In regard to
Prince Oscar's plans for going to Har
vard is known so far at the German
Foreign Office or the American
Embassy at Berlin. The Kaiser
first expressed his intontlon to edu
cate one of his sons at Harvard at a
dinner at the American Embassy last
ycur. Ho at thnt tlmo had in mind
his fourth son, Prince August Wll
holm, but as that Prince has since
become engaged to be married the
Kaiser apparently decided that Prince
OHcar, who will be 19 years old in
July, should be the one to receive
the advantage of a thoroughly demo
cratic university training.
It is probuble thnt he will be
accompanied by a military adjutant.
He will go to America In time for
the opening of the next college year
In September. He Is now an under
graduate of Bonn University.
Two facts determined the Emperor
In his choice of Harvard. First, It
Is the alma mater of President
Roosevelt and Ambassador Tower,
who Is extremely popular at the
German court, and secondly, It Is the
American university which makes
a specialty of German subjects.
The Kaiser Is said to be anxious
that one of his boys shall grow up
wUh one of President Roosevelt's.
If Prince Oscar enters Harvard In
September he will have Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., as a college mate,
while the President's second son,
Kermlt, may enter the university at
the same time.
THE SUIT AGANST MRS. EDDY
Her Son Says It Was Brought for Her
and in Her Bebalf.
Deadwood, S. D.. April 4.
George Glover, son of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, to-day gave out the first
signed statement in regard to his
suit now. pending against his mother's
cabinet. It follows:
"I have never until the commen
cement of the present action contem
plated any suit or proceedings of any
kind in which my mother might hava
been in any way concerned, nor did
I ever employ counsel for any such
purpose.
"The insinuation that I was always
asking mother for money is utterly
unfounded. The thousands ot dol
lars often referred to was sent for
the purpose of completing the house.
Only once have I aaked her for
money, and on that occasion sne gave
it to me willingly, refusing to con
sider it a loan."
Glover's statement was in answer
to charges by Attorney J. P. Wilson
ot Denver, Glover's former counsel,
that the suit against Mrs. Eddy was
started to break down the Christian
Science Church and secure money
to work mines.
