‘Mad Empress’ Is Near Death, but Lives in Past CARLOTTA, WIDOW OF MAXIMILIAN, MEXICO’S HANDSOME RULER, IS VIRTUAL PRISONER. 'By United News

BRUSSELS, July 19.—Behind.the shuttered windows of Chateau de Bouchout an 83-year-old woman, dying, insane, is living in the memories of her glorious past. Stark mad since 1867, her broken mind does not know she is old, an exile; her failing eyes do not see the flat green fields of Belgium, and the stone Chateau that has been her prison these many years. t

Empress Carlotta, widow of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, her Riurses and doctors are the courtiers and gallants surrounding the georgeous throne she once knew; she is still—to herselfc—the empress of Mexico. Somewhere, beyond the portals of the rooms that shuts her. in young Maximilian, her emperor husband, she believes, is waiting, and will come to her. King Albert of Belgium, her nephew, hurried to her bedside Wednesday night when physicians reported she might die at any moment. To her he was but another official of her court. Through the death watches she cried always for her husband who, they told her, had "gone away.” Relic of Nineteenth Century Fate has, perhaps, been kind to Carlotta, frail relic of nineteenth century dynasties Jong since faded into history. Since that burning dawn June 19, 1869, when rebel Mexican troops shot Miximillan against a wall in Mexico, her mind has lived only in the past. She has no knowledge of the days that followed, of her wanderings throughout Europe, her virtual Imprisonment as a lunatic, the day% of the World War whose thunders reached her windows without her knowing their significance. To her the night that Mexico rose In rebeision is "yesterday.” She is still empress. and her husband will return. The story of Cariot _a. "the mad empress.” goes back oeyond the memory of this generation. Born in Belgium in 1840, she wed the handsome and dashing Archduke Maximilian of Austria. and went with him to the gay "court of Vienna, where her youth and beauty made her a leader in. its life. Maximilian Selected When Napoleon 111 of France. “Napoleon the Little,” dreamed of an empire in the new world and began his wax on Mexico, he selected Maximilian as the ruler of his new empire. Together they came to Mexico and, surrounded by European courtiers, set up a gilded and regal regime. France backed the project with money and men. The Civil War was In progress in America. WherfMt ended, however, the United States announced it could not permit empirical adventures in the Western Hemisphere. France saw the North equipped with a standing army of 1,000,000 Civil War veterans, ready to fight. Napoleon 111, busy on his own European war ventures, left Maximilan to work out his destiny as best he might. Bloody revolution followed. Gen. Benito Juarez, victorious, captured Maximilian, and decreed he must die. Maximilian was shot against a wall In the Mexican village of Queretaro. Escapes to Europe Almost simultaneously the princes escaped to Europe, .despite the fact rebel warships followed in hot pursuit. She arrived in Paris alone, weeping and diseonsolate. She hurried to Napoleon, and later to Rome, whers she was received by Pope Pius IX. k There she declared poison food was 'being fed her and insisted on drinking out of the Pope’s cup at meals. Physicians were summoned, whereat she refused to leave the Vatican. Driven insane by worry, she Insisted on spending the night there, establishing the record of having been the only woman in history to do so. Later she was taken to Belgium and plaoed under guard in the Chateau. A small court was placed at her disposal. its members being instructed to humor her in her belief she was still empress of Mexicp. The grim regal farce has been continued until this day. Princess Carlotta Is Immensely wealthy, her estate being estimated at 870.000,000. This will fall to the royal family of Belgium on her death.

G. 0. P. MEET MARKED BY PEACE TALK Goodrich-Warns Chiefs They Must Mean Pleas for Harmony, WELCOME GIVEN TO WALB Farmer Has Not Received Square Deal, Says Senator Watson, Harmony and the closest kind of organization are necessary in Repub llcan Tanks if Indiana is to go Republican in 1924, Republican leaders told hundreds of G. O. P. workers at the Hotel Severin today. Gathered In an all-day pep-session in honor of Clyde A. Walb, State chairman, hundreds of G. O. P. workers from all parts of Indiana listened to harmony talks and gossiped about prospective candidates In the election of 1924. Former Governor James P. Goodrich received the greatest applause of any speaker at the morning session. For the most part gossip among the guests, almost half of whom were women, centered upon the gubernatlonal candidate for next year. A new name, that of Bert C. Morgan, Federal prohibition director, was mentioned frequently in connection with the governorship. The names of Ora J. Darias, State treasurer; Edword C. Toner of Anderson, Ed Jackson, secretary’ of Btate, and M. Bert Thurman, collector of Internal revenue, were others mentioned among the workers. Pleads for Farm Laws At the afternoon session Senator Watson mode'll strong plea for legislation favoring the farmer. “It can not be denied that the farmer is not sharing in the prosperity of the country to the same degree as the laboring man of the city.” he said. He denied that this was the fault of the Republican party, saying many laws for the farmer's benefit were enacted by the >aat Congress. Postmaster General Harry S. New spoke briefly. Harmony was - seriously threatened for a few minutes when Former Governor Winflejd T. Durbin branded the direct primary law as “a curse fastened upon the Republican party. It spells boodle, rich men’s dollars and demagogues, ’* he shouted. There was a mild commotion and an inclination tu-heckle him from the audience, but he changed the subject and once again harmony reigned supreme. Joseph B. Keallng, national committeeman, made a strong plea for the re-election of Walb as State chairman next year. The statement mildly applauded. An executive meeting of the Staite committee was scheduled to follow the welcoming. A vigorous defense of his administration was made by Governor McCray. State expenditures in Indiana amount only to two-thirds as much of the am<*mts spent by neighboring. States, he said. Loose Spending Ended ‘‘Administrations rise or fall on their budgets,” the Governor said In praising the budget law of 1921. “Haphax ard appropriation and expenditure of public money, a system that prevailed in Indiana for a century, has ended.” Four financial accomplishments of the administration stand out, he said, as follows: Indiana spend little more on State expenditures than it did ten years ago, if the road building program is eliminated; more money has been spent on State institution improvements in two years than in the preceding for ordinary service at institutions is less than under the Ralston or Goodrich administrations; the State collected taxes of sl2,9oo,ouft* from the counties and paid back to them $13,752,000 for schools, roads, courts and institutional expense.

Lieutenant Maughan Confident of Success in to-Dark Flight, By United Press ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 19. Lieut. Russel L. Maughan’s Curtiss plane came down from the sky like a great silver bullet at Rosecran’s Field at 11:27 a. m. today, marking the successful completion of the first half of his race with the sun across the continent. Maughan was 57 minutes behind schedule. Striving desperately to make up the delay, he maintained a speed of nearly 100 miles an hour until the wheels of his little piano skimmed the smooth surface of the flying field. He covered the two #jgs of th 6 flight from New York to St. Joseph In 8 hours and 19 minutes, including a thirty-minute stop at Dayton. He hopped off at Rosecrans field at 12:03, headed due west. The blrdman passed over Indian apolis at 8:36 .a. m. at a speed estimated at 165 miles an hour. He was flying at an altitude of approximately 1,200 feet. Ore hour and seven minutes later he was at Springfield, 111., 180 miles west. Says Plane Is Fit Before turning to a pile of sandwiches on a nearby table, Maughan gave his plane a hasty examination. He pronounced it fit for the final dangerous dash*across the Rockies In his attempt to fly from the Atlantic to the Pacific between dawn and dusk. “Gosh, this Is enough to feed the whole army," Maughan remarked as he attacked a home made Missouri chicken sandwich. He ate little, although he drank a large bowl of lemonade. *'We got the Indian sign on the Jinx this time,” he said. "I hope the boys in 'Frisoo have ordered a good meal, because I am sure going to be hungry about 8 p. m.” The aviator said the plane was "working like a top.” He plainly showed the nervous and physical strain of dashing across the sky at a speed of more than 165 which he averaged for 1,130 miles from New York to St. Joseph. He made an effort to relax while the mechanicians were working on his plane, but the large crowd gathered at the field pushed close In an effort to hear his story of_the flight. Benzol Added to' Gas As the plane rolled to a stop a corps of mechanics rushed forward. One group began going over all parts thoroughly while another applied oil and gas. Sixty gallons of gasoline mixed with benzol were pumped into

Roaring Along As the tiny, high-powered steej plane of Lieut. Russell L. Maughan speeds on its way aacross the continent at 170 miles an hour, here are some figures to keep In mind In connection with the trip* It is moving at the rate of 897,600 feet an hour, 14,960 feet a minute, or 249 1-3 feet second. Every four ticks of a watch It traverses a city block. Flying at an altitude of 1,200 feet, as Maughan did over Indianapolis, five seconds sepor--ated him from mother earth and the consequences of their meeting. A sudden gust of wind, an air pocket or a wind eddy could throw his "steel bullet” into an uncontrollable nose-dive. A mythical baseball catcher who could throw a ball 3,000 miles would have to muster practically twice the amount of his "steam” to peg Maughan ouUAt Frisco.

Commission Expert Testifies He Adds 15 Per Cent to Valuation of Property to Cover Such Items as Legal and Engineering N Pees, GRONINGER DECRIES-USE OF ‘FANCIFUL FIGURES’ Witness Admits Additions Are Not Based on Facts, But Are Purely Arbitrary-—Crowd Dwindles as • Hearing Becomes Technical, Return on “structural overhead” is a large item in the Indianapolis water consumer’s quarterly bill, testimony in the water rate increase case before the public service commission in the House of Representatives indicated today.

"Structural overhead,” Earl Carter, chief engineer of the commission, explained on the witness stand, is supposed to take care of legal, engineering. superintending and similar costs and becomes a part of thfc value of the property. He testified that in appraising the property he had arbitrarUly added 15 per cent to the value of everything except material and supplies to take care of this overhead.

Big Item in Valuation This item of "structural overhead,” he testified, amounted to 81.920,161 In the valuation of the property on which the company Is asking an 8 per cent return. But "structural overhead" does not apply only to structures, It was revealed. It also applies to land. The testimony showed that 8391,466 had been added to land supposed to be worth 82,476.242, and that all of this Is supposed to represent "structural overhead." Increased real estate values also are taken Into consideration when land values are fixed, the engineer testified. "If the history of the company showed structural overhead cost only 8 per cent, would you add 15 per cent to the value of the property?" Taylor E. Gronlnger, city corporation counsel, asked. \ / Figure Is Arbitrary "I don't know that the history shows that.” replied Carter. "Fifteen per cent Is an arbitraiy figure.” "We are seriously contending that this charge of $1,920,161 should not go Into the rate basis,” Gronlnger declared. The hearing was getting down to dry as dust figures, arguments and slide rule computations. The crowd was dwindling and some of those who stayed dozed. Following the discussion of structural overhead there was a long and complicated discussion of deprecla(Continued on Page 11)

BRITISH CABINET REVISES NOTE ON WAR REPARATIONS Final Draft of Document May Mean Final Break of Entente, By United Press -* LONDON. July 19.—The British cabinet met today and made final revisions in the all-lmporant note to Germany, the document which may be a signal for a final break of the entente over reparations. A covering letter which will accompany the note and an explanatory document were also discussed and completed. , The note, with its accompanying documents, will be delivered Friday. The optimism "from authoritative sources” was not shared by the British or continental press, nor by the public. It was generally felt the note held possibilities of a definite break with France over the subject of reparatioons. x It is understood, although the contents of the note have been closely guarded and w-jre subject to eleventh hour changes, the British idea on reparations is in conformity with the Versailles treaty. French spokesmen have been stressing the point that Britain has Ignored the treaty. The note may lead to further debate between France and England over w’hlch correctly interprets tha treaty that ended the World War. Marquis Curzon, foreign minister, received the German ambassador last night at the same time Premier Theunis and Foreign Minister Jasper were receiving the French ambassador to Brussels. The Belgians will probably go to Paris the first of next week to confer with Poincare on the reply to be made to Britain’s suggestion that all the allies indorse the note to Germany.
