WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, June 4. The Duchess of Durazsso. sister of John

meat of her marriage to Duke Arturo dl Majo Duraaao. of Italy, The formal
notto filed here contained no Intimation of her rsasQjjB,
The marrjage took place more than a year ago. The Ducji9a later .sued
for annulment, alleging the Duke was wanted by tho French authorities as
a iugmve j rem justice.
Ida niehl, the 17-year-old girl who shot
ami kllli'u Edmund Hauptfulirer, tulked
over the tclphono with her father today.
She was In tho home of a wealthy woman
who Uvea near Philadelphia. He was In
the little oyster restaurant where she
ipecl to be the waitress and whero she
once waited on a nocd-looklng youth
whom Phe was destlnqd to send to his
death before his list birthday
Tho girl has accepted one of the many
offers to provide her with a home until
hor child la born In November, The od
dress of her benefactor Is kept secret.
Her father, Charles Jllehl they know
him as "Charlie" in Kensington, and his
restaurant at 410 Cambria. Btrect as
"Charlie's" was called to the telephone
toany.
The voice that nslted him so eagerly
how lie was and how the shop was Ret
ting on without her and had he had to
hire a new waitress was so evlflentlv
homesick that niehl started to reassure
his daughter She would soon be back
among her own people again he told her.
Tho time would pass so quickly why be
fore you could say "Jack noblnson" the
trial would be over ami she would bu
acquitted, of course, and bo back home,
and everything would bo as before
"So." said tho volco, "I'll never seo
the restaurant again and I'll never seo
Kenslnuton again and I wouldn't ever
see Philadelphia again as long as I llvo
If It wasn't for that trial in City Hall."
She spoke all In one breath.
niehl is the kind of min that every
one naturally likes. It Is not for nothing
that a man gets called by hla Ilrst name
by strangers. He never has reproached
his daughter by look or word for either
the tragedy that has cast a gloomy In
terest over his uneventful-looking restau
rant or for tho greater tragedy that hud
preceded the shooting tho deception
which the girl allowed herself to do made
a victim of.
So when ho answered the hurried ami
plaintive renunciation of homo and all
home had meant to the little girl who
had danced, not so many years ago, to
the music of the hurdy-gurdies on the
pavement there, he was quick to say the
right thing
"No, sure, of course, you needn't come
home. Sure, we'ail go 'way; not crazy
about Kensington myself; never was."
"I want to forget everybody and every
thing there." the tragic little voice went
on. If I had to beg my way along the
streets of strange cities I wouvd do It
rather than come back to the place near
where that happened "

NEW YOHK, Juno 4.
The diplomatic negotiations between the
United Btntes and Germany over the Ger
man submarine war and the sinking of
the Lusltanla, have taken a new phaa
with the departure of Meyer Gerhard, a
special diplomatic envoy, for Germany
to discuss personally tho American sit
uation with Dr. Von Jngow, tho German
Foreign Minister.

sentative of the Scandinavian Line that
Hcrr Oerhnhd had sailed for Copenhagen
on board tho liner United States, yes.

Tho envoy, who goes to Germany with
the approval of President Wilson, Is act- .
Ing as agent of Count von Bornstorff, the
German ambassador to Washington 1
Sending of tho emissary of the German
Emperor, It was sold, will not delay the
forwarding of tho President's rejoinder,
but It Is expected to cnuso the Kaiser to
postpone his reply until tho facts carried
by tho Ambassador's representative htvs
been Inld beforo tho Berlin authorities '
Sato conduct for Hcrr Gerhard was '
sought by the German Ambassador and
handled by the State Department as a
matter of courtesy. Tho United Statei
represents Germanv In England and rep
resents England in Germany during the
war nnd its requests to .the British Em
bassy for safe conduct papers are hon
ored without question, partly because of
thlss Ituation.
Tho safe conduct consists of a docu
ment announcing to all naval com
mandcrs nnd others concerned under th
authority of power Involved, that the
person bearing the papers shall not bs
molested or halted on his Journey.
Count von Bornstorff hnd explained to
President Wilson that ho was having th
utmost dllllculty In communicating with
Berlin, tho cnbles passing through Brit
ish hnnds Consequently It was deemed
advisable to send a personal representa
tive to Berlin to n-plnln to what extent
feeling lini been r loused In this country
hy tho destruction "f the Lusitnnla.
' The United Statei Is a slow ship and
probibly will not arrive at Copenhagen
until about Juna 15.
The Ambassador's representative was
one of the thiee tied Cross commissioners
from Germany who crossed the Atlantic
with Count von Hcrnstorff last August on
their wny to this country The other
commissioners were Doctor Dernburg and
Count Slersdorpff.
Hcrr Gerhard Is about 40 jears old, has
been connected with the German Colonial
Olllce and has otherwise been prominently
Identified with Berlin official life He is
said to be very lnlluentlal in his owa

cises Police Methods.
"Jitney" traffic, police protection and
the archaic mode of conveyance provide!
to Gtand Jurors to visit public institu
tions are discussed in the final present
ment of the Grand Jury which ended its
term of servlco today In Quarter Sessions
Court.
The presentment argues that no ono
should be allowed to becomo a "Jitney"
driver until lie has pasbed an examina
tion to dttcrmlne his ability to drive an
automobile through crowded streets.
Of the police system the presentment
urges that police employed at clerical
work at City Hall should be returned to
active service at the city district sta
tions. The presentment complains against
the old-fashioned omnibus that Is used
to convey Grand Juries nbaut the city
on their ofllclal visits to Institutions.
Of the "jitney" drivers the Jurv mvn
"One of the evils to correct 1st' that many
of the drivers of "Jltnejs" ore without
experlenco and physical fitness, and we
would ask that some means be employed
to prevent the continuance of this condi
tion. The motormen of the trolley cars
run by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company, whose positions are not fraught
with nearly bo much danger to themselves
and the public are forced to undergo an
apprenticeship under experienced em
ployes, and common sense dictates that
the drivers of 'Jitneys" should m. hI
those of experience "
