TITLE DOES NOT , AVAIL
Noble Would-Be Visitor Once
Attempted Suicide for Love
of Miss Mary Duke.
By Tnlm-imtionnl Nowa Service.
NEW YORK, Oct. Tjiidovico Pig
natolli, Princo d'Aragon, si'ion of one
of Spain's noble families and son of
Don .Jaime, pretender to tho throne of
Spain, is a guest of Uncle Sam in the
detention pen at Ellis island. As a re
sult of confidential information sent to
tho commissioner of immigration, the
haughty grandeo was Tofuscd permission
to land on his arrival today from
France.
On his former visits to this country
and particularly at tho Lime he was pay
ing court to Miss Jdary Duke, daughter
of Benjamin L. Dulcc.. the tobacco mil
lionaire, t.ho prince camo ashore sur
rounded by a large retinue and was per
mitted to visit these shores unmolosted.
Since then his conduct in Prance tvas
such that he is under a ban of expulsion
and it. was from information received
from the French government that the
prince "went to Kllis island today.
When an inspector notified the royal
visitor that, his character and financial
standing would have to be investigated
before he would be able to proceed to
Virginia, tho Princo d'Aragon choked
with indignation. As the full moaning
of the inspector's information dawned
upon him, tho Spaniard recovered bis
composure and said haughtib":
Resents "Insult."
"It is impossible for me to go to Ellis
island. I am a prince of ro'al descent
and you insult me. Is this the prated
liberty of America? Mr. .Inlcs Bach,
the banker, will be at the pier to meet
mo and the Spanish consul in New York
will see that the insult that has been
paid me is made tho subject of an offi
cial dispatch to Washington. "
Tho inspector ropliod that in tho first
place aliens with suicidal tendencies
were not welcome visitors here. Fur
ther, ho explained that it had been
learned that the prince had been- ox
pclled from Prance by reason of his con
nection with a notorious gajubling club
where members had a code of honor pe
culiarly lax.
Tho prince had denie'd that he had at
tempted to commit; suicido in Paris as
reported, but after tho inspector had
questioned him closely he admitted that
ho had shot himsolf by accident. His
detention, however, had -nothing to do
with tho answers ho made on board, as
it had been decided beforo the liner
reached quarantine that the confidential
notico from Paris was snfliciont to no
cossitato ft special hearing.
Ju an interview that lie gave to the
ship news reporters the princo stated
that he hnd no desire to kill bimself
oti account of Misa J)ukc. Ho declared

Witnesses for Silver King
Coalition Say That Develop
ment Work Has Caused.
Depreciation.
SENATOR K EARNS
TAKES THE STAND
Agrees With Other Witnesses
That Claim Has Depre
ciated, and Gives His
Reasons.
T AKING of testimony in tho par
tition suit of the Silver King
( 'onsolidatod Mining company
vs. the Silver King Coalition
Mines company was concluded yestcr
d3r afternoon. A greater pari, of tho
day was devoted to taking evidenco of
fered in rebuttal by the Coalition com
pany. Several mining engineers wore
examined, including Charles P. Brooks,
William A. Wilson, .1. Benton Laggat
and Superintendent George D. Blood of
the Coalition properties. These with
General Manager Thomas Kearns wore
the onby persons presented as witnesses
by the defendant company.
Tho evidence showed that all thceo
men wore of the opinion that the value
of tho Andes claim had been greatly de
preciated b' Teason of the work done
lo date. That while each of these men
liad examined all tho underground work
ings each has failed to find any com
mercial oro in paying quantities ex
posed, and Messrs. Wilson and Liaggat
considered the property of littlo or no
speculative value.
Senator Kearns Testifies.
While the Consolidated witnesses had
testified that this development had re
sulted in an enhancement in valuation,
according to their opinions, of from
$50,000 to $100,000. all of the Coali
tions engineers gave it an their opiuion
that tho valuation would not be in ex
cess of $10,000 and somo were unwilling
to place any valuation on tho Andes.
Senator Kearns briefly testified as to
his experience in mining, extending over
a period of thirty years. Tie said ho had
beon general manager of the Coalition
since its inception, and of tho company
preceding it; that ho had examined the
Andes workings as late as last Friday,
and lie did not; think tho ground had
been onhanecd in value as a result of
tho development work.
Declines to Make Estimate.
Senator Kearns was not willing lo
make an estimate of the valuation on
the property, but wheu urged to by Mr.
Critchlow, counsel for tho defense, ho
said that he would bavo advised his
company to pay a good price for it, pro-

Mormons Give Up Colony;
Last Settlers Cross flic
Line Today.
Special lo Tlic Tribune.
EL PASO. Tex., Oct. -1. A rebel sol
dier was executed yesterday by
order of "his chief for an at
tempted assault on an American
woman. This is the sequel of the story
of an American child who saved her
mother in Colonia Juarez, Mcx., as re
lated by 1?. T. Bentlcy, a Mormon bish
op, who arrived here today.
After negotiations between the Mor
mor church officials and Colonel Kuriquo
Portillo, a rebel chief, Mrs. Miles ltoin
ney journeyed to the rebels' camp and
identified her assailant. Colonl Portillo
ordered the man executed.
Tho 10-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Romney, who leaped from the second
story window of the house to summon
help when the rebel entered, fractured
her right arm in the fall.
Colonies Abandoned.
Heeding the warning of President Jo
seph Smith, the last of the Mormon set
tlors arc expected out. of Mexico tomor
row, when the colonization scheme of
the parent church will bo abandoned.'
Nothing short of intervention will re
store the refugees to their homes in the
Mexican colonics,
Hearing of Salazar's free land procla
mation the native Mexicans who have
hitherto been friendly toward the Mor
mous havo taken possession of the prop
erties of these settlers in Mexico :md
havo defied the owners to retake them.
The federal army refuses assistance
and sides with the Mexicans. '"'Mexico
for the Mexicans" is the slogan in tho
colonies now and the warning of Gen
eral Snnjincs that tho Mormons have
no business in Mexico is being taken
up by all of the native Mexicans aud
made much of by the men who covet
the fertile field and fat granaries of the
Mormons.
Boys Go Back to Colonies,
Mormon boys went back to the colo
nics in a dosperatc ofTort to save what
live stock they could. They have been
driven away from their own ranches
with guns. Inmost Karnworth was tired
on thrco times while trying to drivo a
herd of cattle from the mountain colo
nics to the railroad for shipment to El
Paso. Others have been warned not to
attempt to take their cattle away from
the colonics, tho natives telling them
that they wished them for their own
use.
Throughout all of the tribulations of
the Mormon colonists of Mexico there
has been one central figure in the little
group of church officials who has never
lost his cheerful optimism. Ho is Junius
Romney, president of tho Mexican stake
and tho ranking church official in the
Mexican Mormon settlements. His wife
was attacked the other day by bandits,
but were driven off when bcr 10-year-old
daughter alarmed neighbors at Co
lonia Juarez.
