A SEARCH WARRANT STORY
II Tells of How Seattle Family Was
Disrupted
A Gossiping Woman Caused a Wife to lake a
Hurried Trip to the Hawaiian
Islands

SAN FRANCIS o, March ga search
warrant and complaint of felony en-
bezzlement issued today revived the in
cident that temporarily disrupted a Seat
tie family and caused Mrs. Philip Abra-
hams TO make hasty trip to Honolulu
and return.
Philip Abrahams is the head of a gro
Gerry firm in Seattle, and Mrs. Kate Ham
ilton was employed at his home. A couple
of months ago Mr.. Abrahams came to San
Francisco OH business. He had hardly
left town when the Hamilton woman
told Mrs. Abrahams that her husband had
gone to Honolulu with another woman.
Mrs. Abrahams left her house in her in
formant's care and at once started for the
islands.
In the meantime Mr.. Abrahams WAS in
San Francisco, unconscious of the tale
that induced his wife to start in search Of
him.
Mrs. Hamilton packed up the effects OF
the Abrahams household and shipped
them to this city in care of the Pacific
Transfer company. She accompanied the
invoice, which was stored upon arrival.
When Mr.. Abrahams returned to Seattle
he found q tangle that could not be un-
raveled until his wife returned from her
island chase. She arrived a short time
ago, and explanations soon set Alright
the domestic discord that had been occa-
stoned by the Hamilton woman's tale of
elopement.
A few days ago Mr.. Abrahams came
to San Francisco searching for his house
hold goods and seeking to punish Mrs.
Hamilton. He located his effects at the
transfer company's store room and a
seach warrant was procured for the pur
pose of recovering the numerous articles.
Mr.. Abrahams has learned that Mrs.
Hamilton was lately seen IN Fresno, and
he procured "a warrant charging her with
felonious embezzlement.

Failed to Sustain the Charges

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Informa--
tion has reached here to the effect that
Captain Folger of the United States
Steamer Yorktown, now at Chee roo,
has failed to substantiate the charges
made by him against Passed Assistant
Paymaster Il. b. Webster, attached to his
ship. The court of inquiry that was ap.
pointed by Admiral Carpenter to look INTO
the matter reported thai the evidence ala
not sustain the charges made by the cap
tam against the paymaster OF being oe,
cidedly under the influence OF liquor ana
that the conduct of the accused in other
respects was not culpable. The board,
however. prevented an investigation OF
the charges made against the captain by
the statement tnat no further proceed
ings were necessary or advisaple. Au
miral Carpenter directed that the pay
master be furnished copy OF the re-
port of the court of inquiry and that he
be fully restored to duty by the captain.
The declaration OF an armistce was
most welcome news to the Chinese lega-
tion. although it was accepted with the
stoliGity and passive dignity which IS
characteristic of the race. The hrst woro
of the armistice reached the iegatioh
through the Associated Press. Mr.. Yang
Yu had received no official communlca
tion from China nor from the State De-
partment. Uuder these circumstances he
asked to be excused from discussing tne
situation. The numerous attaches OF the
legation were evidently glad that the
tedious and discouraging struggle was at
an end. There was some doubt as to the
meaning of the term unconditional
armistice, although this was accepted as
meaning that recent events, including
probably the shooting of Prince Ii, had
induced the envoys to agree 10 an
armistice before agreeing exactly on the
terms of peace. 1t is felt that the arrange
ments of these terms will still be a dim.
cult task. The feeling in the interior OF
China, where the dire effects OF the war
have not been felt is verysstrong against
a cession of territory. Moreover the pay
ment of cash indemnity will necessi-
tate the imposition OF heavy taxes on
the people and consequent depression.
These considerations together with the
recent losses and ravages of war, make
the future of China so problematical that
the officers would not discuss it. beyond
the probabilities of resuming comm er ce.
