FANNY WARD OWNS HAPSBURG JEWEL Gem of Misfortune Given Actress by Franz Ferdinand of Austria, Whose Murder Indirectly Precipitated the Europenn War. A diamond studded watch, today one of the most Interesting bits of Jewelry In the world, associated with the world tragedy now being enacted in Europe and so intricately as sociated with assassination and violent death as to make Its ownership uncanny, Is In the possession of Fannie Ward, the aotress, who will appear In "Madam President" at the Broad, October 26. This wntch was given to Miss Ward by Franz Ferdinand, whose death has been the Indirect cause of plunging eight nations Into war. Every Hapsburg who handled this Jewel, It Is said, has met death through assassination. In the case of one of the principals It ts still an open question as to whether he died by his own hand or whether a jealous lover or husband kilted him, and so deprived Fram Joseph, of Austria, of a direct successor to the Austrian throne. Crown Prince Rudolph, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Frani Ferdinand and his wife all owned this jewel all met violent deaths. "It remains to be seen whether the strange fate which hangs over this Jewel through its association with the Hapsburgs la broken," rays Miss Ward. "I believe tt has been In doed, success haa marked my every effort since the strange Jewel came Into my posses sion, and I am fully convinced that Its evil genius has departed." While she was starring In "In the Bishop's Carriage," In London, Miss Ward made the acquaintance of the Archduke Franz Ferdi nand, then heir apparent to the throne of Austria-Hungary. One of Mlsa Ward's closest friends Is Count Leopold Doultremont. a cousin of the King of Belgium, whose late wife was a sister of the Archduchess Isabella, of Aus tria. Ono night he and a handsome, forceful looking man witnessed her performance from a box. Later, Doultremont sent word that he desired to present a friend, whom he Intro duced under his title of Archduke. They chat ted pleasantly In Miss Ward's dressing room. The Incident had passed from her mind until, a few weeks later, she received a package from Vienna containing the jeweled watch. At the same time there came from Doultre mont a handsome black pear' ring, which the actress wears almost constantly, .With the packexo from Yieuoa cam. not THE DRAMA I . hm HbBBK?

Three months later Mlsa Ward was startled to receive a huriied note from the Archduko sny Ing that he was In London for a. few hours only, and It was Imperative that he see her on a matter of Importance. The compelling tone of tho note struck Miss Ward with rather a Jnrrlng note, but in answer she sent word that she would receive the Archduke at her residence, 3 Berkeley Square, Immediately after the performance. I "l havo come," he said, "to ask you to return to mo the jeuol I sent you. No," he went on, notlnjr"the look of surprise on Miss Ward's face, "thr- question If, not one of its value, but entliely of Its history, and If you nre brave enough to keep It nftor you have hoard tho tnle, then you may have it, but It Is only fair to you to know what I myself have only JuBt learned concerning the fatality that surrounds Its possession. "After Rudolph of Austria xvas found dead In hlc hunting lodge this watch was found lit tho drnwer of hie desk. It Is fair to assume, from Uh diameter, that he Intended it as a gift to Marie Vetsera, who died with him. tt whs turned over to the Empress, his mother, and although she wore It but rarely, you wltl remember tnat ten years alter the death of her son she was stabbed to death by an anarchist In Switzerland.

When I desired to send you n token of my ceteem it uns the Jlrst thing that came at hand.

But It you have a woman's natural supersitlons you moy not core to keep It, and In that case I hope you will allow me to re place It with something more fitting." SI1S3 Ward went at once to her Jewel case and brought the watch. "Of course," sho said, "I can do no less than hand It back to you after what you have said, but for me It seems to have been nothing but a mascot, and I assure you that I harbor no superstitions concerning It. I should like to kep It." "In that case," returned the Archduke, "It Is yours. You are a brave woman!" So far as her fortunes are concerned, Miss Ward says sho has never had cause to regret her decision. She gave the matter tittle thought until the death by assassination In Bosnia of the Archduke and bjs wife ctartled the world. Sho had never seen htm since the night of his disclosure to her of the history of the Jewel. "I am not In the least afraid," says Miss Ward. "I am quite convinced that If there la any fatality attached to the thing it is only for tho unfortunate Hapuburgs, but In the light of AMUSEMENTS WALNUT MAT- TOMOR.
