ROMANCE OR OUTRAGE.
VERA AvA's CASE STILL sHRoUDED
IN MYSTERY.
Opinions Differ as to Her Identity With
Diss de Bar, the Spoor Prophecies.
She Indignantly Denies the Insinua-
tion-Is She Demented &?

CNcINNATI, Sept. 19.-Vera Ava still
remains the heroine of cunning, ro-
mantle episode, or the victim OF cruel
outrage. There is strong disposition
here to believe that she is Miss Diss de
Bar. Dir. Bonell, of New York, who
knows De Bar, saw Vera Ava last night,
and said; "This is not Diss de Bar"
The descriptions of the latter agree with
that Of the woman here in many re-
spects, but she is not so large as De
Bar, and she does not possess such a
repulsive countenance as De
Bar is said to have. To
an Associated Press representative
this evening, she secuted the De Bar
theory, saying that allwho knew De Bar
on seeing her will testify that she is not
that woman. A DR.. Dummell, OF New
York, who asserts that he would know
Diss De Bar in any disguise, is expected
to arrive here tomorrow to see whether
the woman is really that person.
This morning the woman was visited
by committee from the w. @. T. U.
She led in prayer and afterwards thrilled
them with her eloquence, taking for her
theme the condition of some children
that occupied cells in the house of de-
tention. She asserted that she has
good reason for not making known her
friends in London. She said she had a
right to expect help from DIR. Bolton of
Chicago. Then she broke out in de-
nunciation of DR.. Bolton, accusing him
Of ingratitude and unfaithfulness.
While arranging her calico dress
somewhat, she exclaimed: This is all
that is left of the woman 1 killed OF
tried to kill on Friday, when [ made
my escape. 1 intend to keep this as
long as ] live, and hope to be buried in
it when l die."
She asserts that Archbishop Feehan
was displeased with her because the
poor children she tried to elevate were
in DIR. Bottoms congregation.
She spoke frequently OF Madam Bla-
vatsky, Walter Besant, John Ruskin
and other English notables in literature
and art. She improves every opportu-
nifty in conversation to revert to her
hobby, the raising OF children from the
slums.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-It is learned that
one of the mysterious Miss Ava's init
mates here was young lady who
claimed to be Kate Cooley, a member
OI InG NealIny OOOley family OF Hnlla-
delphia. The alleged Miss Cooley has
disappeared suddenly. There is consid-
cradle speculation as to whether she
was ansaccomplice or a victim of Miss
Ava, or possibly had something to do
with the supposed assault upon the lat.
ter.
Los GATos, Sept. 13.-A dispatch from
st. Louis printed this morning, says the
name OF DR.. Rumford, who is now in
this city, was found in scrap book be-
longing to Miss Ava. DIR. Rumford says
he first heard of Miss Ava through a
letter from his friend, DR.. FitzPorter, who
lived near him in J.Louis. Fitz Porter
| wrote about two weeks ago that Ava
had called and been given Rumford's
card and address. II is rumored here
that Fitz Porter has figured in the news
papers before in connection with Diss
de Bar.

ALBERTsON'S STEAL.
How the Fidelity Trust Bank of Tecoms
Was Looted.

How the Fidelity Trust Bank of Tacoma
Was Looted.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 13.-The Exam
iner prints the following story concern
ing the robbery OF the Fidelity Trust
bank at Tacoma by its secretary, Edward
Albertson, on August 9th. 1t hereto
fore believed that Albertson lost some
$4,000 only in speculation, and surprise
was caused by the extraordinary efforts
made to capture him. Now it appears
that be took $4,000 in cash and nearly
million in securities. Early on the
morning of August Oath note was re-
ceived by Paul SchultEe, director Of
the bank. from Albertson, saying he had
lost $4,000 of the banks money in spec
ulation, and to force compromise had
taken $4,000 more in cash and $780,
600 in securities. He would meet
him or one of his representatives
in the woods at designated
place, and return the securities if given
a written agreement not to prosecute.
The point chosen gives commanding
view of all approaches, and Albertson
said he would flee at once if he saw more
than one man coming tothe rendezvous.
Moreover, he had changed the combina-
tion of the vault, and 1T would take
three days to open it without it.
Meanwhile the banks credit would
suffer. A meeting of the directors was
held, and it was agreed to accept COM
promise. A man was sent to the rem
devious with signed agreement not to
prosecute. Instead of Albertson, he
found one Chandler, Tacoma gambler,
who was evidently an accomplice. The
messenger gave him the agreement, and
received the securities and combination
of the vault. The men sepa-
rated, and the messenger saw
Albertson join Chandler. The bank
at once commenced extraordinary
efforts to capture the thieves. J. II.
Cohoon, cashier of the Fidelity bank,
and prother-in-law of Albertson, was
arrested by Detective Sullivan, who con-
fined him in a hotel for several days,
trying to force confession. The story
got out, and Sullivan was forced to re-
lease his prisoner, who was then legally
arrested for completely. Last Thursday
Sullivan and two guards boldly kid
naped R. B. Albertson, second cousin
of the absconder, and w. +. Bailey,
who happened to be with him in the
streets of Seattle in broad daylight.
The kidnapers were followed and ar
rested, and their prisoners freed. AL
bertson was suspected OF completely in
his Cousins actions. 1t is believed the
thieves have escaped.
TACOMA. Sept. 13.-The officials Of the
Fidelity Trust company assert tonight
that there is nothing new regarding the
disappearance of Cashier Albertson.
Sensational developments are promised
tomorrow afternoon at the preliminary
hearing OF r. B. Albertson, of Seattle, who
was arrested Thursday by Detective
Sullivan. Nothing can be learned re-
garding the sensational article printed
in San Francisco paper in which it is
claimed Cashier Albertson stole nearly
a million dollars worth of securities,
but afterwards returned them on prom
Use that he would not be prosecuted.

AN INTERESTING EXPEDITION.
An Official Survey of the Cocopah Vol
canO Region to Be Made.

YUMA, Ariz., Sept. 13.-An expedition
in charge OF Colonel d. K. Allen
left last night down the Colorado
river, bound for Hardy's Colorado, Sui
phur mountain and the Cocopah volcano
region, to make an official survey of that
country for the Mexican government.
A member of the Mexican senate, San
tiago Gonzales, lately received from his
government a concession of an immense
tract of valuable mineral and timber
land in Lower California, running west
from the Colorado river and gulf of
California, and including the celebrated
sulphur mountain and Cocopah vol
canic country, which is said to be rich
in both. gold and silver lodges. The
purpose of the expedition is to make an
accurate survey of the grant. The
party will be absent about four weeks.
Interesting news may be expected from
the survey, as portions of the country to
be visited have never been before seen
by white man. The party consists of
thirteen men, who will make the first
100 miles of the journey by water, using
two large boats. On the remainder OF
the trip mules will be used,

A GREAT deal of interest centers Just
now around the clock which graces the
new court house. 1t bas never as yet
done much in the way Of time-keeping.
1t seems to have something in common
with "Grandfather's Clock" which was
too big for the shelf and which for
ninety years stood on the floor. There
is, at least, something out of gear, and
great was the wrath Of the Pasadena
man who set his watch by it and found
himself late for the train. But however
long the clock may be in keeping correct
time, it will prove successful in
running up pretty big bill for
the taxpayers of the county to
settle. There are people in Los Angeles

daring enough to assert that the unfor-
tunates who foot the bills will be asked
to pungle-up $500 for a clock that is
only worth, at the outside, $500, if it is
worth that. We have not looked into
matter fully enough to be able to say
within a few hundred dollars of Just
how the case stands. In the interim,
however, the people can profitably re-
vive the wholesome old melody. Grand

The Telephone Responsible.

Until the introduction of the tele-
phone the retailer of toys and notions
never knew what it was to incur bad
debts. He did not have to placard his
store with ''please don't ask for credit"
signs, for no one seemed to think of
coming in to buy toys or trif1es unless
he had the wherewithal handy to pay
for them. But now orders come by
telephone which no one likes to ignore,
nor can the C. o. q. system be rigidly en-
forced, however much one may try. So
every year larger sum has to be written
off to profit and loss as ebad debts" for
the amounts, although large in the ag-
gregate, are too small to make their
collection commercial possibility.
Another bad result from the tele-
phone, SO far as this business is con-
cerned, is the increased percentage of
goods which have to be delivered. Toys
bought over the counter are nearly al
ways taken home, but telephone orders
have to be sent, however trifing the
profit may be. know of two instances
in which telephones have been aban-
doned in the hope of forcing a return to
the old regime. But the wheels of prog
ress cannot be clogged, and as long as
there is an obliging druggist in the block
to receive and forward orders, and a
rival store close by with telephone in
it, the new order of THINGS will COP
tinue..
