SHE FIGURES IN A ROW IN A
CHICAGO HOTEL.
Her Alleged Husband, AL Ruhman, Also
Mixed Up In 1.-THE Fair ZelIa's
Trunks Attached for
Board Bill.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Zella Nicholaus,
who became notorious through her al
legged dealings with George Gould, had
lively time with a constable at the
Victoria hotel today. AL Ruhman, said
to be her husband, was also mixed up
in the row. The last time Zella and
Ruhman were in Chicago, they con-
tracted board bill with Manager Eden
at the Great Northern hotel, amounting
to $67, for which Eden was compelled to
take a note, as they had no money.
Learning yesterday that they were
again in the city stopping at the Vic
toria hotel, as MIR. and Mrs. King of
Cleveland, he promptly took out an at
tschment. This morning when the con-
stable appeared, Ruhman said he would
like to settle, but had only $47 in cash.
The constable threatened to carry off the
lady's wardrobe, which lay exposed in
open trunks. Zella protested vigorously,
and Ruhman intimated to the constable
that he would be compelled to shoot ii
the officer did not make himself scarce.
The constable reported the matter to
the hotel people, who invited the guests
to leave. They promptly sent their bag
gage down stairs, and the constable
seized the largest trunk. After another
quarrel Zella paid 500, and, without
waiting for the change, ordered her
trunks sent to the Lake Shore depot, de-
claring she would take the 4 O'Clock
train for New YORK.

WOODLAND, CAL, Feb. ION the 2Sth
OF March, 1898, Constable Todhunter
and his son of Washington, Yolo county,
attempted to arrest two counterfeiters
who were coming down the Sacramento
river in boat. The countsrfeiters re-
eisted arrest, killing young Todhunter
and escaping among the tules. A man
named Moody was afterwards arrested
and charged with the crime, but was
acquitted on turning states evidence.
He implicated a young man named
Whitfield who, he said, fred the shot
that killed young Todhuntei. Today
Whitfield was located in San Jose, was ar
rested and brought here. The information
leading to his arrest was given by his
mother-in-lsw, who lives in San Jose,
and who has had quarrel with her
daughters husband. Whitfield is q
rather good-looking young man, about
25 years old. He comes from hard
family. One OF bis brothers, the noto-
rious Doc Whitfield, was sentenced in
October last by the United States court
in San Francisco to 10 years imprison-
ment for counterfeiting. Another
brother is under arrest in San Jose for
shooting at his sister-in-law.

Withdrawn out of the sub treasury by
the redemption of greenbacks ior the
purpose of paying for bonds, the treasury
officials were not abe to say today. 1t
has been noticed, however, that during
the last few days the redemption OF
greenbscks has been unusually heavy,
as much as q million dollars having been
presented for that purpose in
one lot. So far from suffering any
serious drain of it's gold, the treasury is
likely rather to be used as dumping
ground for the over-supply which seems
to have become burdensome to many
banks. Signs abound that in some of
the larger cities it will be positive re-
lief to get the plethora OF gold reduced.
Offers have been made lately from sew
eral quarters OF all the gold the treasury
would accept in exchange for paper of
any sort, even silver certificates. The
trouble is that the supply of paper is
too low to permit OF compliance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. The treasury
balance today is stated at $117, 1l5, 1926,
the first time it has been above the
$4,000 900 mark for several months
This it accounts for solely by the pay
ments of subscriptions for the new per
cent bonds. OF this increase $2S, ,656, 294

SAN Francisco. Feb. THE Chroni-
Gle prints long article exposing the
methods by which Chinese may evade
the exclusion law through sys-
tenn of false certificates OF reg
istration. 1t states the Chinese
are systematically stufing the registra-
tion books opened under the McCreary
act. The law provides no penalty for
the punishment of those who register
twice, and on account of the great SINH
larity of the Chinese in features and in
names, many are able. by going to diff
ferent places OF registration, to secure
from two to dozen certificates of regis
trstion. These, it is claimed, will
soon have a marketable value of $50 to
500, and will find ready sale among
Mongolians smuggled into the country

no trouble at all in securing bogus GER

4 MINT IN A CAVERN.
Officers in Oklahoma Make a
Good Haul.
Let the Smaller Fry Get Away, but
They Held Onto the
Leaders.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Dec ia squad of
Deputy United States Marsbals have just
unearthed powerful and dangerous ring
of counterfeiters who have been acting in
conjunction with confederates In Indiana,
Missouri and other States. A chance word
uttered by a member of the gang while
intoxicated led TO raid and the subse-
quent lodging in the United States jail of
the leaders of the gang-Guv Harper. L..
Crawford, Joseph Tillery, Jess Lockett
and Sam Lockett.
After shadowing these men for three
months the outlaws were nabbed and
unwillingly led their captors to an under
ground cavern a few miles east of Per-
kins, used by the counterfeiters as a mint
and general rendezvous. After loca ting the
underground mint the deputies organized
and armed themselves to the teeth, and at
2 o'clock Yesterday morning descended
into the cavern. After travsrsing a sub
terranean passage for a hundred yards
they burst In door and covered twenty
five men with Winchester rifles. The
counterfeiteIs had been trapped so adroitly
and were so taken by surprise that they
failed tc show fight and scattered through
hidden exits. Every man escaped, but it
afterward developed that the prisoners
wers the leaders of the gang and the
others were only campers. whose work
was TO float the spurious coin. The officers
gathered in three bucketfuls OF counter
felt dollars, perfectly made, and two tub
fuls of dimes, quarters and nickels, be-
sides costly assortment of molds and
other paraphernalla. The men had been
operating in the cave nearly eight months
and much of the spurious coin was boxed
and expressed to agents in Western
States. All the prisoners are educated
and well dressed. Tillery was at one
time an employe in the Mint in Phladel
phia. The Locket brothers resided in
Perkins. where they were considered ex-
emplary young men. The prisoners so
far are reticent and refuse to talk.
