When MIbb Ruth WUters Morgan
of Palm Beach, New ork and New
port announced last May she would
wed Prince Ludovlco Pignatclll d'Ara
gon, her father promptly Issued a
denial. He was absolutely sure there
would be no marriage. Yet there was
one, and Miss Waters, Jgho is fair,
plump and twenty, as?pSay bo aeon
in the photograph, became a princess,
a real Castillan brand of Spanish
princess, the prince said. And, more
over, she would be a sort of relative,
of the king of Spain,' because the
prince himself is a relative', he said.
Now she's got a prince, and the
prince has only 28 cents. Further
more, an unfeeling New York lawyer
has threatened to put the prince and
the 23 cents* in Jail.
Then she won't- have anything left
at all?except a daddy wMo has more

saw ouisid(- his dreams.
After three months of marriage to
an American heiress the prince has
filed a petition in bankruptcy, stating
he has, $887.28 assets, but that only
28 cents Is In cash. His liabilities
amount to $30,545.32. Among his
creditors is' Jdrs. Alice F. O'Connell,
who holds judgment for the death of
lier luisband In an automobile acclden*
for which a New York court held tf\ ?
prince responsible.
When her counsel, Harry A". Red
mond of New York, was asked about
tiie situation be grew so angry he
could hardly speak; but he did
manage to say:
"I'll get a writ of body execution
against the prince for the O'Connell
judgment if I possibly can. That
will put the prince In jail."

MISSIONARIES'
PEACE PRAYERS
DAILY FEATURE
Karui/.awa, Japan, July 20. ? (As
sociated Vress Corrcsoondcnce.)?!
Frayera for tho restoration of peace
form the principal feature of almost
dally services held hero by American
missionary bodies. It In the key
note of the Bummer schools and con
ferences. At the same time tic mis
sionary organizations are studying
the means of furthering their evan
gelistic work in Japan and through
out th whole Orient.
The Rev. I). S. Spencer, of Nago
ya, who delivered an address this
week before the Fan-Methodist con
ference, urged the missionaries to
roach the rural districts. The rural
class, :!ie said, represent 7-5 per cent
of the total population of Japan.
This specialized work could not he
done by the old methods, ho said,
nor by workers who did not under
stand the special field in which I hey
were placed. In order to accomplish
its duty In iapan. the Methodist mis
sion instead of a total of "60 workers
of all grades, should have 220 or
. dalned men, 220 single women. 11.
0U0 Japanese evangcliBts and 440 Hi
ldo women, h? said.
The Methodist missionaries, Dr.
Spencer explained, were about 20 per
cent of the total missionary force in
the empire. Figuring the population
not ns.COO.OOO, the Methodists might
be said to be under obligation to
evangelize at least 11,000.000 souls.
As a matter of fact, the total member
ship of the Japan Methodist church
in 101 r> Is 15.1fi7 and this represented
forty years of effort. He added:
" Now I do not suggest that these
small numbers mean failure. Hut
there is another side to the problem.
When we bejran our work the Japan
ese people numbered 3"?,000.000. Our
Methodist task has therefore grown
from seven to eleven millions. To,
say nothing of the original 3R.000.000
?we have never gotten within wire
less distance of the increased popula
tion* ftmfl htsdshent Some fundamental
change for the better we will never
get -there."
Tho way out of the difficulty, In his
opinion, was to reach the rural com?
inimiti?s, and to fit the methods to-the
class to be evangelized. "Tho mis
sionary must be practically helpful.
Community Interests must be started,
as local circumstances permit?per
haps beginning with a kindergarten,
or other educational measurer or
seeds may be brought In for tho farm
ers, new kinds of fruit introduced,
better water Bupply or sewers, pn* in
and a friendly attitude of helpfulness
shown that. will bear all down the
years. "

DUTCH NEW GUINEA
EXPLORES REPORT
Shows Dutchmen Inhabited the It
land aa Far Back as 1828?
Only Recently Colonized.
The Hague, Netherlands, Aug.?
(Correspondence of The Associated
press)?Reports of Dutch colonial ex
peditions which have recently com
pleted tho preliminary explorattlon of
Dutch New Culuea brhiK to light
many storicB of remarkable feats of
endurance und discovery. For about
seven years oflieers of the Dutch Col- 1
oniul Army with European and na
tive soldiers and coolies have been
making :i complete map of the colony
and ;his work If. now finished. Hutch
New Guinea Is nbout fourteen times
as large as the Netherlands and was
settled by a few Dutchmen as long
ago as 1828. but was only officially
recognized as a colony late last cen
tury. In comprises the greater part]
of the Island of Papua In the South
Seas.
In the course of the map work,
which was attended by great difllcui- j
ties and some loss of life all the mem- |
hers of the expeditionary force un
derwent severe privations and suffer- j
ed consldcrabc sickness. Their l'.ves
were in danger from hostile natives J
as they passed up unknown rivers
and cut their way through almost im
penetrable vlrgiu bush or clambered
high mountains covered with etornnl
snow and never before ascended by
white men.
The couhtry was found to bo fairly
thickly populated in some parts and
tho natives in tho interior were nmong j
the most primitive in the world. Many
of them had never before come into
contact with white men and fled at
their approach, so that the explorers
in somo instances could not obtain
data as <to their , customs, language,
measurements or. % modi* of living.
Nearly air worn found to bo in their
absolute natural stands, and without
clothing, v The grown* men's ' noses
wfcro -pierced with numboo canes and

great ceremony after a certain age
had been ultafllW^fciamld feasting
and dancing, the firstnolo Is pierced
with a finely pointed sago thorn and
tlte aperture is gradually enlarged in
fivo operations until the requisite size
has fl^'jj^^e4^f?r.^ of
the'cane, jvhlcli afterwards is never
removed. The women of,some tribes
had a Blight covering consisting of a
short'skirt-of woven leaves.
Some of the tribes 'Were actively
hoBtlle head-hunters and attacked the
explorers with bows nad arrows and
short hardwood spears whose points
were sometimes formed of bone.
Others of .the natives peacefully in
clined and willing in return for a few
trinkets to permit the. explorers to
make all the necessary observations
without interference. .
The natives appear to cling mostly
to the banks of tho many rivers
where they live in carefully construct
ed habitations built in the trees or
on pileB 20 or 30 feet high.. In the
far interior, however, many settle
ments were found composed of sub
stantial buildings supported by thick
tree trunks and covered s^lth roofa
of the largo dried leaves of tropical
plants. In fact several 'of the dwel
lings were.divided into various apart
ments?a large one in the center for
the mcp and boys and separate ones
Cor each woman.
In th?'coastal ands the natHves cou
otruct their huts or rather arbors in
a long line like a street, each haWtu
tlon supported by ithe next one. Many
of the coast people had previously be
come acquainted with white men who
had come to hunt birds of paradise
rod they also knew that money was
valuable.
The knowledge of metals among the
natives Is very limited and their cut
ting tools are stone axes and flint
chisels. With these some of the
tribesmen managed to carve orna
ments on their pirogues or canoes,
their oars and little figures for tho
adornment of their habitations.
Some kind of superstitions belief Is
prevalent In the interior, for each hab
itation in the settlements has dts own
god usually in the shape of a huge
turtlo shell on which is stack a fish
head.
Hunting and fishing aro the main
occupations of the natives, but In tho
interior many of the habitants ara
surrounded by patches for the culti
vation of root-crops and sugar cane. !
which with fish and sago form the
main food of the people, who are very
fond or lobsters and mussels, which
are plantifui.
Evarywhere tho country is infested
wfch snakes and the rivers, swarm
with alligators, but animals are not
numerous and comprise chiefly dogs,
tame and wild hogs, and kangaroos
and other marsupials as well as many
rata.
Tho conformation of the country
Varies from low-lying marshlands
pregnant with fever to high healthy
j plateaus and mountains such as the
I Wilhelmina Peak, which was climbed
by two Dutch officers and found to
