Wants Prellmlnarj- Confercneo
The British Government evidently !
feels that it would b well for the eo- t
lonlal Premiers who have no diplomatic
relations with the United htatcs to
talk this all out with Mr Ilarding
and Mr Hughes ln a preliminary con
ference Mr. Lloyd George would prob
ably like the American Government to
tinderstand fnlly from the lipa of the
Dominion Premiers under what pres
sure he will bo in tho coming confer
ence. And he would also liko the co
lonial Premiers to understand from the
American Administration as much as
possible the Hnrdlng Administration s
policies in tho Pacific.
In this way he might lessen Ameri
can pressure upon him In the big con
ference. And also ho might remove
omc of tho British colonial fears of
Japan. The American uoei cuuuu

n deficit.
Itiife Increases Granted
The conditions were that under this
hct the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion was directed to so adjust rates thnt
I they would enable tho roads to earn DVi
In conformity with this the Commis
sion laxt August granted nn Increase of
about 30 per cent In rates. Tho un
forseen intervened in tho way of n gen
eral depression ln business nnd trans
portatlon. In nddltlon there was
greatly Increased cost of operation ns

I seen, and has brought about a condition
) ...L 1. I .... IrnHnArllilit Vno ln aBAO.lH
whereby it was impossible for the roads
to earn anything like the 5( per cent
specified.
In response to my lnmilry ns to his
views on the railroad labor situation
Senator Cummins said :
"I have nothing to say on that sub
ject at present. We must recognha,
however, that wages must come into
, nnrmonv wth all other things. It is
nUeKton what wages hove to buy
, nmj Ul(; ,.09t of tll0Se necessities,

sumer. Wages must iluctunte within
reason.
Limits to Wages
"I am in favor of high wages." said
the Senator, "but still thero arc limits
which canuot be exceeded in point of
economic necessity."
It is woll, ln connection with Senator
Cummins' lucid explanation of existing
conditions in the railroad world, to re
call what may be regnrded as the crux
of rresiucnt Harding s plan as ox
pressed in his special message to Con
gress this week.
"You nre asked," he wrote, "to ex
tend tho authority of the Wnr Finance
Corporation so that it may purchase
those railway funding securities ac
cepted by the Director General of Rail
roads. "No added expense, no added invest
ment Is required on the part of the
Government. There is no added liabil
ity, no added tax burden. It is morely
the grant of authority .necessnry to
ennblo a most useful and efficient Gov-
! eminent agency to
use Its available
funds to purchase securities for which
Congress hn.i authorized the hsui" nnd
turn them into the channels of finance
ready to float them "
There the matter rests for the
present.

Sho married him only nfter tho great
est difficulties. FlrBt there was tho bar

she was twice divorced and tho Church
forbjds tho marrlago of n divorced per

and she wns not.
Tho Duke wns the uncle of former
King Manuel of Portugal nnd tho only
brother of King Carlos of Portugal,
who was assnsslnntod with his eldest
son in tho (streets of Lisbon some years
ago.
Allowance From King
If thtre had been a monarchical res
toration in Portugal tho Duko of
Oporto would hnvc been called in as the
Crown Prince, next In succession to tho
Portuguese throne. The Duke of Opor
to was absolutely penniless. He sub
sisted on a $10,000 annuity from his
first cousin, King Victor Lmnnuol of
Itnly, and had a thirty-room ulto In
the royal palaco at Naples.
His bride, whom he married Septem
ber 20, 1017, was very rich, however.
She hnd been mnrrlcd three times and
courted by n dozen noblemen of Eng
land, Frnnce, Russin and Germnny be
fore she consented to become tho brldo
of the Duke of Oporto. Very little of
tho girlhood life of the Duchess Is
known. She first enmo iuto promlnenco
when she sued her" first husband, Lee
Agnew, a Chicago inventor, for divorce
in 1000. She wns twenty-oue nt tho
time. There was one daughter by this
mnrrlngo.
Shortly afterward she married n re
tired merchant aged boventy-three,
William Hayes Chapman. In October,
1007, Mr. Chnpmnn died and left her a
fortune estimated lit close to $10,000,
000. She then started n tour of
Europe, where tho news of her fortune
brought to hor train many penniless
noblemen. The advances of all wero
repulsed and she came back to America,
whero sho married Philip Van Valkcn
bcrg, clubman banker nnd member of
an old Dutch New York family.
They spent their honeymoon nt the
St. Regis, in New York, but the ro
mance was short-lived. Ono day Mr.
Van Vnlkenberg walked out of the St.
Regis never to return. A short time
later he sued for divorce in New York
and she did the same in Connecticut.
Her suit wns pressed with ndded vicor
after she hnd met the Duke of Oporto,
nnd she finally ureived u decieu in
19M.

fAlmanach do Gotha, they were mnrrlcd
in Rome on September zu, 1U17.
The couplo were never received by the
roynl house of Portugal, nnd during a
Visit to London wero not noticed by tho
Widowed Queen Mnrlo Amellc of Por
tugal, nor by the exiled King anucl.
They returned to Naples, wiiere they
lived at the roynl palaco in the apart
ments that had always been the Duke's
since the revolution at Lisbon hnd
thrust him out of his birthright. Ho
still had the $10,000 a year which ho
had mentioned ns making him "poor as
a church-mouse" nt the time of his
mnrrlagc, but 'the wealth of his wife
made that seem liko nothing. The couplo
lived ln the Italian royal palace until
tho denth of the Duko a few months ago.
Ho was nursed by his wife with tho
utmost devotion throughout his last Ill
ness. Told Only of Love
But tho Duchess told littlo Miss Croll
nono of nil this and there lies tho story.
Her story Included only her great lovo
for the Duke, and ln tho telling of It she
proved that sne una cnangca irom tue
woman who had gained so much noto
riety. The Duko wns burled in Naples, the
Duchess told Miss Croll, ln n specially
designed rosewood casket. Tho coffin
was surmounted by a largo gold cross.
Her dovotion to his memory persisted
until she could no longer bear to think
of him lying ln n casket that soon would
oMslnteerate. Sho decided to come to
America, where she could obtain a metal
casket.
Disregarding nil rank nnd coming In
n manner entirely contradictory to her
previous fashion of moving with the ut
most publicity, sho slipped quietly over
to America and went to the home of her
sister in Ohio. Hero she heard of the
work of the Boyertown casket firm and
decided to have It build n special coffin
for her husband.
One afternoon while the Duchess wns
helping in the hotel kitchen sho hnp
pened to be left for n moment nlone.
A boy came from the grocery with n
load of potatoes. It seemed thnt n
telephone cnll hnd been mndo previously
which had "peeved" tho young mnji.
Ho told the supposed "new girl" what
he thought of phono calls In general
and the potato call in particular. At
tracted by the Duchess's slightly foreign
accent, ncquircd by years of residence
abroad, he lingered to chut.
Tells Him HIs.Krror
Lenrnlng that she came from Italy,
he mentioned the fact that he intended
subscribing to the fund for the starving
Italians. Ho was stepped upon immedi
ately. The Duchess told him that Am
erica was making a big mfstnke in send
ing funds and food to starving (?).

henrd her people say there was no use
of working ns "long as the Americans
would support them."
But it was always to Miss Croll that
the Duchess opened her heart. Sho told
of her plnns to build a villa In France
nnd II vo there nnd took recipes for tho
Pennsylvania Dutch dishes which she
Intended to servo there.
Sho told Miss Croll that she would
not return to Itnly excopt for her hus
band's body, because sho would bo nn
outcast from the royal palaco and would
feel more hnppy elsewhere. She sold
that her fow days In Boyertown were
the happiest of her life.
In going over the proposed decora
tions of her new homo, sho nskod ad
vice about what to do with the coffin
that her husband is at present in
terred in. Tho two women came to a
decision.. Having changed to a Roman
Catholic in ordor to marry the Duke,
It was decided that tho cross on the
present casket would be an ideal thing
to have inset In tho head of her bod.
She plans to do this.
Sees Casket Made
Sho watched cvory step In the eoni
structlon of the motnl casket. Every
day bIio went to tho factory" nnd looked
on ns tho workmen piled their trade.
The new casket is ono of the finest
specimens of tho coffln-iunkcr's art.
It Is of pure bronio with nn
antique silver finish. It has a sliding
top nnd a hinged face panel. Tho
casket contains nn innbr lining, with
full-length bevel pinto glnss top.
hermetically scaled, making It really n
double enskct. Tho Interior furnish
lugs nre of specially woven satin.
An cngmver was brought from Phila
delphia to put tho inscription on the
coffin. At the head Is a fac slmilo of
tho Itnllan crown, weighing twenty-ono
pounds, which wns brought from Italy,
mounted on a pillow. Directly below
that is the Inscription:
"S, A R. O. Principe Dom Alfonso
Hcnrlguls dc Brngauza Duque Do
Port, 1805-1020. And oh for the touch
of a vanished hand Tho sound of n
voice that is still." The approximate
cost of tho casket Is $10,000.
All the time the Duchess wns in
Boyertown she wns dressed In deen
mourning, and while it wns stvlish it
wns not of the dnshlng cut that so often
