AISINGJI PRINCE fcerenaded at Waldorf-Astoria by Arion Society of 3rooklyn. SINGERS WON KAISER'S PRIZE Guest at Dinner of Mr. and Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Where He Met New York Society Leaders—Vieited Philadelphia Today. Now York, March 10. —Prince Henry of Prussia was the central figure yes terday in another round of entertain ment arranged In his honor. He first listened to a concert at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel, largely made up of his favorite American songs, the concert being arranged at his request. When that was over he drove to the Univer sity Club to a luncheon, which was not concluded until mid-afternoon, lu the evening he was the guest at dinnei of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, and met a large party made up of per sons of social prominence. When the prince bade farewell to the company at the Vanderbilt home he went to the New York Yacht Club for an informal reception, and the hour was late when he returned to the Waldorf-Astoria for the night. Thomas Cochran anil F. G. Brad bury, representing the Commercial Club of St. Paul. Minn., called upon Prince Henry at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday, and during a personal in terview with the distinguished visitor, invited him to attend the unveiling of the commemorative tablet on board the American line steamship St. Paul tomorrow. Prince Henry prom ised to be present If possible, but doubted his ability to do so on account of his sailing for home tomorrow after noon. It was the Arion Society of Brook lyn, winner of the Kaiser's prize at the singing festival in Brooklyn in 1900, that furnished the morning con cert for the prince at the hotel. It had originally been arranged that the singers should serenade the prince aboard the Hohenzollern Saturday, but In the change of plans the serenade was abandoned. The prince met Dr. W. John Schlidge, chairman of the music committee of the society, at the dinner Saturday night and expressed regret that he was not to have a chance to hear the club sing. The doctor suggested that it might still take place at the hotel, and the prince approved the idea. It was midnight, with but a few hours to arrange the affair remaining. Telegrams and tele phone messages were hurried out to the members, and by 11 a. m.yester day 150 of them had reported at the hotel. Prince Henry visited Philadelphia today. Accompanied by his party, he left for that city by special train over the Pennsylvania railroad. He was officially received by the city, shown through Cramp's ship yard and given a lunch at the Union League Club.

Smith was shot through the head and his skull crushed by a blow from some heavy instrument. A bloody axe was found near-by. The furniture was broken and tossed about the rooms, and blood smeared the walls, floors and everything in the house, which showed that a terrible struggle for life had been made by the aged victims. Mrs. Smith was badly frightened and was unable to leave the house to give the alarm to neighbors until yester day morning. Sheriff Hoon and sev eral officers are after the robbers. Three suspects were arrested last night, but as yet nothing tangible has developed to connect them with th® outrage.

RESULT OF ADVERSE CRITICISM Many Person* Expressed Displeasure at President's Daughter Attending Ceremonies, Thus Giving Sanction to Such Form of Government. Washington, March B.—Miss Alice Roosevelt will not attend the corona clon of King Edward VII. next June. While this is not officially announced, it is admitted at the White House to be true. The canceling of Miss Roose velt's plans to participate in the coro nation is said to be the result of the adverse criticism that has come from all parts of the country upon the un official announcement of the proposed visit. Muny persons did not hesitate to express their displeasure that the daughter of the president of the Ameri can republic by attending the corona tion of a king, should give sanction to such a form of government. The report that Miss Roosevelt will not be In during the celebra tion was general at the White House yesterday, as well as in social circles. It was said In explanation at the White House that It had never been officially announced that Miss Roose-velt would attend the coronution, and that no of ficial explanation was necessary either in the event of her remaining at home or attending the evont. It was learned last night that an other reason why Miss Roosevelt will not attend the coronation of King Ed ward Is because it has been found to be practically impossible for her togo simply as a young American girl trav eling privately in the household of Special Ambassador Held. It was learned that I .ondon court, circles were considering seriously the ques tion Of the status she would occupy in all coronation functions. When Miss Roosevelt's status became a mat ter of international discussion the president first considered the advisa bility of canceling the visit, but not uiftll it was found that ail invitation to visit the Emperor and Empress of Germany was on the way to America was it decided that In view of the ex treme youth of Miss Roosevelt and the international conditions as well as courtesies she would be called onto meet, the English visit and all Its de lights would have to be relinquished. A significant fact in connection with the report was the announcement two days ago that Miss Roosevelt will in a few days leave for Havana, for a month, as the guest of Governor Gen eral Wood and Miss Wood. This would mean that Miss Roosevelt could not return to Washington in time to com plete all arrangements for the corona tion. It was planned that she go to London with her uncle and aunt, Com mander and Mrs. Cowles. Miss Roosevelt Left For Cuba.
