WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1910. AMBASSADOR AND ROOSEVELT SUED FOR $1,000,000 Mrs. Ida M. yon Claussen At tempts to File Papers in New York MINISTER GRAVES INCLUDED Charges of Malice, Slander and Revenge Had Beginning in Sweden [Associated Presti NEW YORK, June 28.—A big bundle of papers, purporting to be the com plaint In a suit for $1,000,000 damages against Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Bacon, American ambassador to France; Charles Graves, American minister to Sweden, a_nd his wife, is in the county clerk's office here awaiting disposition. The bundle was thrown Into the of fice today by Mrs. Ida M. yon Claus sen after the clerk's refusal to file them because of irregularities. The attempted suit Is an outgrowth of the refusal of Minister Graves to present Mrs. yon Claussen at the court of the late King Oscar of Sweden In 1907. The complaint begins: "I hereby make formal liemand of the supreme court of the United States to procure me an honest lawyer to plead for Justice to me if the United States of America has laws capable to protect me. If not, then the legisla ture must be appealed to. "I hereby file in the supreme court this complaint and institute a suit for slander, malice and revenge, to re cover $1,000,000 . Tha gross Insult and slander I reoeived in Sweden, of which the world has cognizance, is laid di rectly to the foregoing conspirators." Mrs. yon Claussen says King Oscar gave her his photograph and invited her to visit him. MRS. YON CLAUSSEN WRITES BOOK EXPOSING DIPLOMATS Claims Life Attempted to Prevent Publication of Expose WASHINGTON, June 28.—After hav ing failed to be presented at the court of the king of Sweden, Mrs. yon Claus sen came to Washington tn April, 1907, to lay the matter before President RooaeveJt. She tried to arrange an Interview with the president, but found the official bars too tightly closed to permit of her entrance to the presi dent's presence. She remained here for some time, expressing the belief that she would secure satisfaction for the snub slie said had been administered to her by Minister Graves at the time she sought to be presented at court. Mrs. yon Claussen on the occasion of her first visit here also attempted to get the state department to take her case, but in this, as in her appeal to the president, she failed. Since 1907 she has visited the national capital a number of times. On the occasion of a visit here sev eral months ago she declared she was the object of a conspiracy on the part of great men in this country and abroad which had as its object the prevention of the publication of a book she had written exposing diplomatic intrigues. She said her life had been attempted hlx times by her persecutors. CADET, WOMAN AND FRIEND MISSING, AND BOAT ADRIFT ANNAPOLIS. Md., June 28.—Mrs. Nellie- E.

A 25-million dollar electric light enterprise. A 10-million dollar harbor enterprise. The management of these enterprises are controlled by the city council. Honest and efficient men in that body will insure these enterprises being properly managed. Dishonest or inefficient men will insure these enterprises being wrongfully managed. The city is also engaged in an effort to obtain reduced rates for certain classes of public service. Mr. Barney Healy, when a member of the city council voted: To give away to private parties the river bed, a piece of pub lic property valued at one million dollars; Against an 8-cent electric lighting rate, although as a result of the action of the present city council the electric lighting com panies of the city have offered that rate to the city. Dr. Houghton while a member of the city council voted: To give away to private parties the river bed, a piece of pub lic property valued at one million dollars. Do the citizens of Los Angeles feel that these men should be entrusted with the management of the three great business enter prises which the city now has under way? Do they believe that these men will either honestly or efficiently manage these enter prises? Flight Over Berlin of Aerial Express Deutschland, Wrecked in Raging Storm If , - - Wffimß. .

The department has heard nothing from General Estrada himself. The suggestion that the United States In tervene is taktn as a counter move to offset the undesirable impression like ly to result from the refusal of Gen eral Estrada to accept the proposal of tho Cartago court of Justice to have the warfare ended by mediation. The dispatch from Consul Moffatt said nothing about the courtmartial of William P. Plttman, the American en gineer held by the Madriz forces as a prisoner of war. The silence of the consul on this point, taken in connec tion with the fact that the treatment of Pittman has been under diplomatic consideration, led the state department to the conclusion that the report of Plttman's courtmartial was prema- "lenor Corea, representative of the Madriz government in this city, today received two dispatches from Madriz, one denying many of the reported vlc ■ torles of the Estrada forces and the other telling of the anti-American manifestations and the determination of hla government to keep them from resulting in harm to Americans.

WASHINGTON, June 28.—President Taft left here today to pass the next three or four months at Beverly, Mass., the summer capital of the United States. The president's air of gayety over his departure was accentuated by a vivid red necktie. The president's private car was at taohed to the Federal express, which pulled out of the union station at 5:35 p. m. With the president went Sec retary Norton and Assistant Secretary Forester, Capt. Archibald Butt, his military aid; Dr. Barker, his physical director; several stenographers and two messengers. The rest of the White House executive force will re main here during the summer.

TAFT'S LAST DAY TAKEN UP BY IRRIGATIONISTS Supporters of West Besiege the President in Business Session WASHINGTON, June 28.—President Taft's last day in Washington prior to his departure for Beverly was a busy one up to the hour of his leaving for the summer capital late this after noon.

SUNDAYS »c. on trains io» LAW AIDS CUPID TO GAIN VICTORY Medical Student Rescues Sweet heart from Sanitarium with Writ of Habeas Corpus With a wealthy and angry father shouting, "Let me at him," an enraged mother declaring, "I would gladly hang if I could kill him," and th£ villain, personated by a young medical student who refused to cosv-er, but instead tri umphantly waved a writ of habeas corpus for his sweetheart, there was real melodrama In Judge Monroe's de partment of the superior court yester day. However, Judge Monroe was ab sent and Judge Oster of Santa Bar bara was sitting for him. Owen S. Parrett applied for and got the writ to effect the release of his sweetheart, Miss Vera V. Schaupp, from the Bishop sanitarium in Pasa dena. The parents of the young wom an, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Schaupp, weal thy residents of Pasadena, were the ones stirred to wrath by the romance involving their daughter and her de termined wooer. It was evident that the statement of young Parrett, made before the hearing that the only way the parents could oppose the writ was to prove their daughter insane, was practically true. At least, It appeared that pub licity was the thing moat feared by the parents, for it was stipulated promptly, without a word of testimony being taken, that the writ be issued. The young woman is twenty-two. Par rett charged her parents were detain ing her against her will. The father's anger, which was held in chock during the making of the agreement, knew no bounds when the affair was over. "Let me at him, let me at him!" he cried, and made a dash toward young Parrett.. The combined efforts of three men were required to hold him. The attitude of the wife was little less impassioned. "I would gladly hang if I could kill him," she declared with emphasis. Parrett's side of the case, as given by himself, was as follows: "I became very much Interested In Miss Schaupp only about thre4 weeks ago. That is the flrst time I met her. Shi' was being cared for following an attack of nervous prostration in the Loraa Linda sanitarium, where I am a medical student. . It is a Seventh Day Adventlst institution. She be came a convert to that faith about a year ago, as I understand it. That is what her parents object to most. • "They wanted her to leave, and when she would not, as she was making rapid improvement, the father came Sunday with some men and forcibly dragged her out to an automobile and took her away. Since that time she has been kept In the Dr. Bishop sanitarium in Pasadena and has been allowed to see no one and communicate with no one. "I finally concluded to take the mat ter in my own hands, and that is why I petitioned for the writ. She is twen ty-two years of age and they have, therefore, no legal right to detain her. "I won't exactly say I am engaged to her, but I will say I am very much Interested in her." "That young fellow is a liar," raged the father. "They have been working h e r to death in the kitchen without a cent of pay," added the mother. "The physi cian said she should not go to church or see a Bible till she recovered, for we feared her mind would be affected. There they Insist that those things were Just what she needs most." "I think we have convinced her of our good intentions," continued Mr. Schaupp, "and. we hope that this habeas corpus will avail them noth ing." CENTS ZEPPELIN AIRSHIP PREY OF GALE; 33 VOYAGERS SAVED Limps, Disabled, from Path in the Clouds and is Wrecked on Forest Tree Tops FORCED 4000 FEET IN THE AIR Tops Whirlwind in Battle with a Storm— Passengers Rescued with Rope Ladders Associated Press] DUSSELDORF, Germany, June 28.— Count Zeppelin's passenger airship Deutschland, the greatest of all the famous aeronaut's models, lies tonight in the Teutoburgian forest, pierced by pine trees, a mass of deflated silk and twisted aluminum. The thirty-three passengers aboard the airship when it struck the pines after a wild contest with a storm, es caped uninjured, climbing down from the wreck on a rope ladder. Herr Colesmann, general manager of the new airship company; Chief En gineer Duers of the Zeppelin company, and Captain Wannenberg, who had charge of the crew of ten, and twenty newspaper men sailed from Dusseldorf at 8:30 o'clock this morning for a three hours' excursion. The objective point was Dortmund, about thirty-five miles from Dussel dorf, but a high wind prevailed, and an effort was made to reach Nunster, a garrison town, so that a landing might bo made on the parade ground ; with the aid of the soldiers. It was realized it would require a large number of men to hold the vast contrivance of silk and metal against the wind. RISES ABOVE WHIRLWIND In the high wind one of the motors refused to work and the other two did not give sufficient power to make any headway In the gale. The airship drifted, swaying in the violent gusts and sometimes leaning to an angle of forty degrees. All the while the en ginemen were at work repairing the disabled motor. When this was done all four screws were ..driven at their full power. Under normal conditions the engines were capable of driving the airship at a speed of forty miles an hour but the helmsman was unable to keep his course and the great craft was swung about at the mercy of the WColesmann did not dare to come about for fear of overturning, and de cided to drift with the gale toward Osnabruck,' also a garrison town. If he'missed that he expected to continue "suddenly he perceived a whirlwind coming and ascended .a neight of nearly 4000 feet to avoid the center ° With the whirlwind came a heavy downpour of rain. . After half an hour the Deutschland came down to permit observations and it was seen that the Teutoburgian forest lay below. The i forward motor stopped again and Colesmann sent five of the cor respondents to the aft gondola to bal last the vessel. WRECKED ON TREE TOPS The Deutschland sank rapidly, hav ing lost much gas in the high altitude, and dragged along the top of the dense forest. A heavy branch of a tree broke through the bottom of the cabin amidships, throwing two of the guests to the f.oor. . Other branches ripped through the gas compartments and the whole great structure settled down thirty or forty feet from the gr-It n isn't the fault of the Zeppelin system." exclaimed Herr Colesmann; "that is all right. . It is our own fault, our benzine ran out." The airship, for which Herr Coles mann's company had just paid $137,000, looked like a wreck. The frames were broken, but the motors were not dam aged . The silk wan ripped and had fallen in a torn mass on the tops of the trees. Reports of disaster, explosion and death were widely spread. A party of officers and Burgeons came by autq mobile from Iburg and the district governor and his wife arrived at the scene within half an hour by special tT\ U company of infantry was sent from Osnabruck and picketed tha wreckage. The disaster occurred at 5:30 p. m. In the early part of the journey the airship maintained an altitude of about 500 feet and the passengers enjoying the new sensation expressed contempt for the train rumbling down below and spoke of automobiles aa out of date.
