CASTLE BRINGS
SAD ENDING TO
ITS MARRIAGES
Society Wonders Who’ll Be
Next in Mansion Known*
for Its Heart Aches.
By MARGERY REX. '
JCBW YORK, Feb. 2.—Thq “Curse of
Ooettewood” has claimed another victim.
“Cantlewood,” the milllon-dollar
•btiUt at Coddington Point, Newport, n
number of years ago by Louis Bruguiere,
and eventually sold to pay off the
mortgage npon It, Is said to bring bad
luck to lta occupants, the last of whom
■was the Into Mrs. John Hanan, who died
recently.
Castlewood; the Brnguleres; wealth
and romance —how many emmorles they
recall!
Many people remember the sensational
exploits of the Bruguieres at Newport.
“The wonderful Bruguieres, what will
they do next?’’ was the general com
ment upon the ventures of the native
sons.
Louis —in those days nicknamed by
Nation Rives “Louis le Grand’’—was the
youngest of the four sons of Emile
Rruguiere, millionaire of Monterey, to
storm the gilded gates of Newport. He
became a favorite of'such social arbiters
ns the late Mrs. Stuvysant Fish and Mrs.
Hermann Oelriehs. He gave charming
bachelor dinners and finally he bought a
site of land on Coddlngton Point and
built “Castlewood’’ at a cost of $1,000,1)00.
When the new home was nearly com
pleted Brother Emile, poet, musician and
satairlst, appeared, on the scene and pro
duced an operetta, called “Baroness Fid
dlesticks,” ridiculing well known per
sons of the set in which Louis le Grand
wj anxious to shine. This had dis
astrous results for “le Grand’s” ambi
tions.
'FRtSCO FIRE
STARTS DOWNFALL.
Debts and financial embarrassment due
to a slump In the Brugniere fortunes
after the San Francisco five made It
necessary to mortgage ‘‘Cast! rod” and
■finally the home had to be so.d to meet
demands. It was said at this time a
society “bud”—supposed to be interested
In Louis—became quite frigid.
Newport had been very kind at one
time to Louis and his mother, the widow
of Emile Brugulere, a “forty-niner,” who
left her almost $10,000,000, although it
was known that their fortunes were ebb
ing and they were deeply In debt.
And it was about this time that Mrs.
Pedai} Bruguiere, now divorced from
Pedar, another son, came to dazzle the
gay town by the sea. But her husband’s
mother and brother did not seem to care
for the lovely Mrs. Pedar and other wom
en were afraid of her great beauty.
She had been Maryon Andrews, a pret
ty southern girl of a family entirely
worthy, but without means. She was
the granddaughter of Gen. Hall, of the
confederate army. Her marriage with
Pedar did not last long, and after the
birth of their son Pedar got a divorce at
Reno. She then married Stewart Den
ning, a broker, and this marriage was
soon annulled. Her reported engagement
to W. P. Burden caused a sensation,
made greater by her sudden departure to
Europe without explanations. Burden
had been the husband of Natica Elves,
who gave Louis his nickname and whose
tragic death shocked society.
That summer at Newport Peter Cooper
Hewitt became interested in Mrs. Brug
uiere and has since become her husband.
He Is a descendant of Peter Cooper,
philanthropist, and is a distinguished
ecientiat, having invented the Cooper
Hewitt light. Mrs. Hewitt rUnently re
turned to New York wearing a diamond
anklet.
PEDAR TAKES .
1118 THIRD WIFE.
But Pedar, too. had boon busy and had
married Nana Prince King, his third
wife. He had been twice divorced pre
vious to this.
When 'their financial situation made
life at Newport difficult, Louis took his
mother to France, where they lived sev
eral years. Mrs. Bruguiere wanted to
return to America, but after the begin
ning of the war, feared submarines, es
pecially following the Lusitania disaster.
She finally did sail for home on the
Arabia.
The vessel was torpedoed and Louii
and mother, Josephine Sather Bru
guiere, were among the last persons left
on the promenade deck. A desperate ef
fort was made by her son to save her,
but the mother was drowned. And Louis
went back to fight for France.
In 1910 a contest was begun among
the heirs for the Bruguiere fortune,
which had recuperated after the fire
Pedar, Louis, Francis and Emile were in
the legal battle. Louis was the best
known socially.
The Bruguleres are descendants on the
paternal side of Spanish dons, which
may account for the restive propensities
displayed, and Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere
■was the daughter of , Pedar Sather. a
Norwegian and pioneer San Frandscc
hanker.
'The mother of the “Bruguiere boys”
once said:
“We, as a family, have been cursed
with beauty—too great a beauty. It was
not ours by birth, but married into the
family. And our sorrows have been
many."
Emile, once knighted by the King of
Portugal, had tried matrimony with Miss
Vesta Shortrldge, a western beauty, and
with sad results, too.. It was said thal
after ~tney were divorced and -she y.v
about to marry again Emile tided to
negotiate with her for a renewal of their
bonds, but without success.
Castlewood seemed to have brought
bad luck to the Bruguieres, its builders
Bankruptcy, divorce and a tragic deatt
center about it.
Louis sold the house to Arnold Essex,
a wealthy manufacturer of Providence
R. t. He occupied Castlewood only on?
season and died suddenly, leaving the
house to a friend, who sold it to its last
owner, Mrs. John Kanan.
No one believes Mrs. Flanan will care
to oecupy the bouse, and society is ask
ing, "Who will want Castlewood now?”

JAIL GETS DAD
AS SON IS OUT
Stepfather's Cash Saves Only
One in Court Tangle.
Jail doors today closed on Jacob Mc-
Lain, 48, for forty-eight hours when it
was proved in criminal court that he ap
propriated for his own uses $l5B which
was raised to pay a fine for his son,
Oliver McLain.
Oliver was sentenced some time ago
on a charge of contributing to tl® de
linquency of a girl, whom he afterwards
married. T£e son spent sixty days on
the Indiana state farm and was released
when friends of young McLain traised $75
with which to pay the fine and costs.
This sum wa§ turned over to the father.
The fine was stayed for ninety days. The
son testified that before this he gave his
father SB3 to pay his fine and that his
father failed to pay the fine and costs.
The fine was finally paid when the
father of young McLain put up the
money.
Judge Collins .tent the elder McLain
to Jail until Monday to “think the mat
ter over behind iron bars. ’
CAVE MAN THIEF
GOES FOR GIRLS
Makes Three Attempts to Steal
Sleeping Ones.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2—The St. Louis po
lice force has dealt with every possible
kind of burglar. It has had its reg
ular quota of ordinary burglars and
“stick-up” men, coupled with oddities in
the form of whisky burglars, sugar
thieves, candy robbers, second-story men
who dealt only in women’s negligee
thieves had stolen every possible thing
there is to steal, the police thought,
until a “new one” sprang up several
weeks ago.'
He is the “girl burglar,” specializing
in stealing glris from their beds—or
rather attempting to steal them, for so
far he has met with failure in three
attempis, due to pursuit by Irato parents.
POLICE CALL HIM
MOST PAFFLING.
He is. the most baffling burglar the
police have yet had to deal with, and
a city-wide dragnet has been spread for
the man
His latest attempt was at the home ot
•Walter Rick, No. 32J8 Dodier street,
where, in the wee, small hours the
burglar crept In, grabbed 12-year-old
Viola Rick from her bed and dashed
from the house. The girl’s screams
brought her father In pursuit. CSad only
in his night clothes and barefooted, the
father dashed after the kidnaper, who.
when on the verge of capture, dropped
Viola, wearing only her sleeping neg
ligee. in a snowbank and disappeared up
a handy alley.
STOLEN GIRL, 16,
PIMPED IN SNOW.
The burglar pursued the same tactics
In an attempt to carry off 16-year-old
Mildred Bunda of No. 2328 Madison
street. Mildred was dumped in a snow
bank in the rear yard of her home when
her family pursued the intruder.’
The third victim . wa s not so lucky.
There being no snow when the burglar
vis ; ted her home, she wms dropped on the
cold pavement when the pursuit became
too hot for the “cave man” burglar.
London Has Branch
of U.S. Hoboes’ Union
LONDON, Feb. 2.—As all things, good
and bad, percolate from America to Eng
land sooner or later, the establishment
of a bona-fide London branch of the
American Hoboes’ Union, of which James
Eads How, the St. Louis millionaire, is
: patron and arch-hobo, should be chron
i iclod.
The British G. H. Q. of the Hoboes’
| Union is now suitably housed in Harrow
road, where 160 members met and swore
I by the wraith of Japk London and all
ether true road knights to uphold those
economic principles which “aim at the
emanicipation of the dispossessed.”
George B. Mason, secretary of the Hobo
club, said:
“Our members are Idealists, but vic
tims of existing economic conditions;
they are submerged in this world of
squalor. They have ideals for a better
system of civilization, but have neither
conditions; they are submerged of giv
ing practical expression of them.”
Income Tax Tough
on Alimony Club
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—The “alimony
club” here is wailing shrill walls over
what it terms the Injustice of the in
come tax law.
The case of one man is typical. Be
ing divorced, he is listed a<K a single
man under the law, with an exemption
of only SI,OOO. He pays S9O a month, or
SI,OBO a year, alimony. His three chil
dren, who live with their mother, but
are supported by him, entitle him to
exemptions of S2OO each, making his total
exemption SI,OOO. put, as alimony is not
deductible, he fig res his actual exemp
tion at only $" A, amounting t 0 little
more than ono-b/lf the minimum exemp
tion intended by the income tax' law
to be allowed to every indivdual as the
amount necessary to live on.
"There are thousands of others here
in the same bout,” said this man. "The
itmomo tax law sure is hell on us grass
wiao^mrs.”

Boy Gets Long Term
for Schodl Shooting*
Leverne Peeler, 17, was sentenced to
serve from two to fourteen years in the
Indiana reformatory on a charge of firing
a revolver at Feerree Biddy, 809 Lexing
ton avenue, who is a janitor at a city
school at Virginia and Fletcher avenues,
by Judge Collius In criminal court Satur
day. The evidence showed that Peeler
became angry at the janitor when or
dered off the grounds when in company
with a girl and that he obtained a re
volver and fired one shot through a win
dow of the schoolhouse. Feerree was not
struck.
Peeler tried to obtain a suspended
sentence because of illness, but the court
refused to be Influenced.
Stork Picks Button
From Bride’s Coat
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—Cnpt. Roy M. Mc-
Kerchar, an attorney, and his bride re
turned here recently from their honey
moon in Florda. While there they visited
an ostrich farm. During their inspection
they were followed persistently by a
long-legged, long-billed (bird much dif
ferent from the others. It finally became
so affectionate that it packed a couple
of butjons off the bride’s coat, which
McKefchar decided was somewhat nervy.
"What, kind of an ostrich is this, any
way?” he demanded of a keeper.
"That ain’t no ostrich,” replied the
keeper, “it’s just a plain stork.”

SETTLE AMAZING
LOVE DILEMMA
Immigration Authorities Lets
Baby and Unwed Mother In.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. The immi
gration authorities, it was announced,
have decided to admit to this country
Emily Knowles, 21-year-old English girl,
and her baby, which Is said to be the
child of Perley Spiker of Baltimore. The
admittance, however, is temporary and
a tmho end of three months the case will
betaken up again.
If during the three months Miss
Knowles marries Guy Spiker, brother of
Perley, she will be allowed to remain
permanently In this country, It was
learned.
Miss Knowles, according to the deci
sion of the Immigration bureau, Is to go
to a family ”!n a sertaln northern state,"
where fine will remain in the custody of
old friends. She will bo given an op
portunity to see Guy Spiker, so the
strange romance will have a chance to
develop normally. She has already seen
Guy, It was stated here, and has agreed
to marry him. Both Guy and Mis*
Knowles, officials said, have filed affi
davits saying they are willing to marry.
But, although the federal authorities re
fused to recognize officially the offer of
Guy to marry the mother of his brother's
baby, unofficially they arc convinced this
is the best way out of the tangle.
Mrs. Spiker told officials, they said,
that she wanted to take Miss Knowles
and the baby Into her own household in
Baltimore.
“This is m.v own suggestion,” immi
gration officials said she told them. “The
responsibility for taking care of the baby
is jus tas much ours as though it had
been born ours.’’

Old German Propaganda Is

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 2.—German
propaganda is still at work in Mexico.
But it is falling more and more on
deaf ears. It has been blocked by in
telligent Americans and the 111-wIU

some case-i by Germans is rapidly dying
out. The good will of the masses ot
Mexicans is easy to win and keep and
the friendly American in Mexico knows
It and is doing a great service to bis
country by achieving that end.
Thera is a widespread feeling nmong
Mexicans that their greatest progress
and prosperity lie along parallel lines
with friendship for and of the people
of this country. This feeling is grow
ing. It is prompted by desire for profit
able trade with “the states” and by the
stirrings of a potential but faminshed

TRAVEL SHOWS
MEXICO BEING
SET UP AGAIN
Evidence of Rebuilding Can Be
Seen From Train, Says
Tourist.
SCARRED BY WARFARE
By DR. J. A. WATTS.
Newspaper Enterprise Association Spe
cial Correspondent.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 2.—Regener
ation of Mexico is visible from the train
windows all the way from Nuevo Laredo
on the border to Mexico City,
i That trip is fascinating for tourists as
we'll as investigators. The one train a
flay from Neuvo Laredo for Mexico City
leaves promptly at 10 a. m. (Mexican
time). It Is a mixed affair, consisting of
rapid freight cars, first and second-class
coaches and a single buffet-sleeper, simi
lar to the Pullman, but made by a Day
ton (O.) company for the former Eng
lish owners of the road. Because there
are so few sleepers, the Mexico City train
never carries more than one for the ac
commodation of the public. One must
make reservations days In advance, as the
j travel is heavy.
It was fortunate Indeed to get a reser
vation on short notice.
GREAT CHANCE
i NOTED SINCE 1913.
The trip from Nuevo Laredo to Mon
! terey was vastly more comfortable than
’ the one 1 made over the same stretch of
road in July, 1913, on the first train that
; came north a'ter the road had been de
stroyed and the country through which
it passes had been laid waste by the con
stitutional army. Then the railroad had
i no bridges, no right of way, no telegraph
i wires and traveled over the virgin
1 prairie' very much like a rattlsnake fol
lowing the contours of {he trail. Sta
tions were ail burned up and ranch
houses in the distance were in the sumo
■ condition and the country was desolate
. and bare. Not a living thing could be
seen.
Now, on the contrary, the roadbed of
the National line is in good condition.
Even the stations have been rebuilt or
are being rebuilt and the train schedule
is maintained regularly. Ample signs
of life show the ranches are again in
habited. While there is a scarcity of
cattle one can see herd 9 and droves of
small stock.
RAILWAY STATION
IN MONTEREY RESTORED.
I was greatly surprised upoj my ar
rival in Monterey to find the magnifi
cent station, which was a total wreck in
1913, restored to its former splendor.
Monterey is a busy "city, one of the
most prosperous on the frontier. This Is
due to the fact that it t cosmopolitan
and is the gateway to Mexico as is San
Antonio. It has enjoyed more than a
year of prosperity, contributed in a large
measure by the Tampico oil boom, de
velopment of rich surrounding agricul
ture country and resumption of glass,
stoevssmelter and brewing industries
that make residents call it the Pittsburg
of Mexico. The brewery advertises its
product as the beer that made Milwau
kee jealous.
That Monterey would be in even bet
ter condition is due entirely to the fact
that It has ’been handicapped by trans
portation facilities, due to destruction
of railroads and rolling stock in the
last revolution which landed Carranza
in the presidential chair.
Indeed a vital, perhaps the most vital,
I problem In Mexico today is ibat of re
i storing the transportation system to a
| basis adequate to the needs and oppor-
I tunitics for peaceful development of rich
! natural resources.

the Tittle one regardless of aching
head and wearied body.
But for her baby’s sake every
mother should keep strong and vig
orous. She should renew her
