SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. a.-A story
was published by morning paper In
this city connecting Mrs. Netty Neu-

father Is Benjamin Cohen. of this city.
Hs said in an Interview:
at is absurd that this notorious
woman and my daughter Netty are the
same person. I have been receiving let
tiers from her for the past two years at
regular intervals Of twelve days. They
have all been dated New York.
only once to my knowledge did she
visit Europe. and that was two years
ago. Then she remained In Paris for a
month"
The Cohens have been receiving letters
from Mrs. Neustadter at regular inter-
walls ever since her departure from this
city. The last letter was received on
Tuesday, and was dated and pcstmerked
New York. She wrote to an intimate
friend a few weeks ago to the effect that
she will be in this city during the latter
part OF September.
