Body in Lower Fifth
Avenue Apartment Is
Identified by Brother
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Mrs.
Clarissa P. Curtis Cantacuzene, 39,
member of a socially prominent
Boston family and divorced wife of
Prince Michael Cantacuzene, Rus
sian nobleman, was found dead to
day in a three-room apartment near
lower Fifth avenue.
Police said she died a suicide by
illuminating gas. Thomas Curtis, a
brother, identified the body.
The prince, from whom she was
divorced in Waukegan, 111., in 1934,
is the son of Prince Michael
Cantacuzene, once aide de camp
of the late Grand Duke Nicholas of
Russia, and Julia Dent Grant,
granddaughter of Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, 18th President of the United
States. The elder Cantacuzenes
were divorced several years ago.
The body was found in the kitch
en with gas escaping from five jets.
The dead woman's brother could
give no reason for her death. She

! ice worker.
Prince Michael obtained a di
vorce on a charge of desertion. He
testified that he and his wife were
married in Nahant, Mass., in June,
1921, and that she deserted him in
1933, going to the home of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pelham
Curtis of Boston, and refusing to
return to the Cantacuzene farm
home at Wadsworth, 111.
Attorneys said an agreement had
| been reached settling property rights
and fixing the sum the prince would
i pay toward the support of their two
1 children, Irini, then 9, and Rodion,
j then 6. The children at that time
were with their mother in Boston.
Prince Michael, a graduate ,of
Harvard, was in the real estate
business in Chicago. His mother.
Princess Cantacuzene, has been a
leader in women's Republican ac
tivities.
The New York Social Register
lists Mrs. Curtis Cantacuzene with
an address near Park avenue.

Charles Bush, Dean Emeritus
Of Railroad Engineers, Dies
Piloted Trains on
New York-D. C. Run
For 45 Years
Union Station was a sadder place
this morning. Most of the corps of
railroad men had learned that
Charlie Bush, dean emeritus of rail
road engineers, had died late yes
terday afternoon at his home at
922 F street N.E.—just within ear
shot of the train sounds he’d known
for half a century.
Since December, 1937, Mr. Bush
had been living in retirement—after
driving trains some 3.650,000 miles
without a major accident over the
‘‘Pennsy’s’’ Washington-New York
run.
When he retired he went down
to his little farm in his native
North Carolina. But after a year
he began to miss the sounds of
whirling steel on steel, the famil
iar snort of the electric locomotive’s
horn and chats with old friends at
Union Station.
Mr. Bush would have been 72 next
November, though his looks belied
his age. He had an alertness that
comes from watching the track
ahead for 50 years.
Came Here at 19.
At 19 he first came to Washington
to work for the Pennsylvania Rail
road as a brakeman. The following
five years were spent in learning
the work of a brakeman and a fire
man and the regular railroad routine.
Then came 45 years in the cabs of the
crack trains on the Washingotn-New
York run. For many years Mr. Bush
had been at the throttle of the Con
gressional Limited and was the first
man to drive the train from Wash
ington to New York in a flat five
hours. This might be considered a
snail's pace today when the run is
made in 3 hours and 35 minutes, but
Mr. Bush could recall the time when
eight hours was considered breath
taking.
His final trip before retirement was
his most trying run. Bound to
bring his train into Union Station on
time, he got off from Pennsylvania
Station in New York City a minute
late. There were five stops and
, eight minutes to make them in on the
I scheduled run of 226 miles in 215
minutes.
At Trenton, the minute was made
up and Mr. Bush was one ahead of
schedule. Three minutes were lost
in two Philadelphia stops. He had
run into drizzle and darkness, and
it was pitch dark when the engine
pounded into Wilmington six min
I -
utes late. Three minutes were made
up and then an order to pick up
four passengers qj Elkton—a stop
which would mean being shunted
to a siding from the main tracks.
Out of Elkton with the four pas
sengers aboard and nine minutes
gone, Charlie Bush bore down on
Baltimore. There he had just 41
minutes to bring his train over the
40-mile stretch to Washington. The
engine whirred along the rails and
the 1,800 passengers on the 16-coach
holiday train of November 28, 1937,
all unaware, were pulled into Union
Station 30 seconds ahead of time.
A Literal-minded Neophyte.
Mr. Bush liked to recall his early
days as a brakeman. Having had
little schooling, he couldn't spell
the name of his own position.
When he was told to "brake” a car
he said he took his boss literally,
uncoupled the car and let it roll
down hill. At the bottom it ran
into a lime shed.
“If you call breaking up cars j
“braking,’ you're good at It,” he I
recorded the boss as saying.
Mr. Bush was a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers and the Epworth Methodist
Church, where he was very active.
Surviving are his widow. Mary:
two daughters, Mary Louise and
Grace Bush, and two sons, Charles
R„ jr., and Rudolph M. Bush.
Funeral services will be held at j
2 p.m. tomorrow at the Lee funeral
home, with burial in Congressional
I Cemetery.

were expected to conclude their
work late this week.
Fourth Annenberg Indictment.
It was the fourth time within
three weeks that Mr. Annenberg
had been indicted by Federal grand
juries here. Other charges involved
income tax payments. In addition,
a special grand jury returned a
presentment last week in which it
reported the Annenberg interests
had a monopoly in the race in
formation field. It stated, how
ever, that the anti-trust law did
not apply to "illegal activities,” but
suggested that further action
should be taken in the form of
Federal legislation and enforcement
of State laws against handbook
gambling.
Ohe indictment, containing 18
counts and covering 240 pages,
charged the defendants with mailing
"hard cards" and “wall sheets” to
six bookmaking establishments in
Illinois, Michigan and Iowa. These
“hard cards” are the forms on Vhich
the bookmaker keeps his own records
on each race, while the “wall sheets"
are posted to make this same in
formation available to players.
While the bookmakers were named,
they were not indicted, as a spokes
man for the United States attor
ney’s office declared the Government
was “after bigger fish.”
Basis of Lottery Indictments.
The basis of the lottery indict
ments was said to rest in these facts:
That a bookmaker sold tickets on
the promise to each purchaser or
bettor that he would receive a chance
to win a prize dependent on the out
come of a certain horse race or races.
The player made his selections, which
were recorded on the tickets by num
bers and symbols. Pay-offs then were
made in accordance with the results
flashed by the Nationwide News
Service, although the bookmakers
generally had a limit on the amount
that would be paid on any bet.
(Usually 20-1 to win; 8-1 to place
and 4-1 to show.)
In addition to payoff limits, the
indictment charged, bookmakers had
adopted many other means to insure
the success of the lottery so far as
they were concerned. One of these
was described as making available to
patrons “a multitude of diverse and
contradictory predictions, opinions
and alleged information recommend
ing particular horses, known as tips
and handicapping.”
The grand jury said this informa
tion was contained in large part in
periodicals published under the
ultimate control of Mr. Annenberg.
Among these were the Daily Racing
Form, the Morning Telegraph and
the American Racing Record.

Barre Strike Truce
Sought Despite Riot
Lasting Four Hours
Strikers Appeal to
Murphy, Charging Right
Of Assembly Violated
By the Associated Press.
SOUTH BARRE, Mass., Aug. 31.—
Undismayed by a four-hour disturb
ince In which snipers fired shots
tnd deputies answered with tear gas,
Sheriff H. Oscar Rocheleau said to
lay he would make a new effort to
aring together officials of the struck
Barre Wool Combing Co. and strik
ing A. F. L. leaders.
The clash caused the union to
dispatch an appeal to Attorney
Oeneral Murphy at Washington
charging that the deputies had vio
lated the strikers’ rights of free as
sembly.
Last night's outbreak, precipitated
by an attempt of strikers and strike
sympathizers to parade near the
mill, was the worst of a series of
stone-throwing clashes since the
strike began. The walkout, now In
Its sixth week, was called to force
reinstatement of four woman work
ers.
Even as a "peace meeting” spon
sored by the sheriff was getting un
der way, the disturbance began. A
searchlight atop the mill was
blacked out by snipers’ bullets.
Other bullets hit the mill. Depu
ties threw a half dozen gas bombs
and the parade ended in disorder,
but there were no serious Injuries.
