The Oakland Star Declines to Pay
for Laudations of Her
Voice.
oUTwITs A SPECIAL WRITER
An Attachment Levied on Her Trunks
Fails of the Anticipated
Result.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 29.-Alma
Herzog, stage warbler of considerable
fame who sang in a local theater last week,
appreciates the value of newspaper puffs.
During her late engagement she became
dissatisfied with the stereotyped notices
accorded and engaged the services OF a
special writer, by name w. l.. Price.
Price, true to his calling, saw to it that
Miss Herzog's name was kept before the
public. When it came to paying for this
laudation at 50 line, the charming song
stress, whose real name is Mrs. DR.. Bluett
and who is the wife of an Oakland physi-
clan, was coy and backward. Whereof
this story treats.
The lady has burning desire to cleo
trify the world as a singer. Whatever
ability she may have as a songstress, she
did not make hit during her engagement
here at the Orpheum; to the contrary, the
gallery gods expressed disapproval by an
occasional hiss or groan.
Price learned this morning that she had
secured berth on San Francisco train
which left the city this afternoon. He
determined to have Mr.. Bluett's trunks
and jewelry attached. The matter was
put into the hands of constable, who
sent one of his deputies with the neces-
sary papers to the Albany, where Mrs.
Bluett had rooms. The officer found Mrs.
Bluett, who declared she had no trunks.
This afternoon it was learned that the
actress had missed her train and was still
in the city. The people at the Albany
were posted and would give no informa-
ton. 1t was found later that the woman
had evaded her attaching pursuers by
going to the San Fernando-street station
and boarding the train there. She had
only hand satchel with her.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 20. = Nathan
Phillips, proprietor of the Boston Loan
Office in this city, having been enticed into
the outskirts of town for the purpose of
robbery, was shot and perhaps fatally in
jured at Monte Cristo, Snohomish County,
this afternoon. A private dispatch re-
ceived in Seattle states that David Leroy, a
logger, did the shooting, and that Phillips
was shot through the lungs and also the
right arm.
Phillips had gone to Monte Cristo to sell
iewelry and carried a case containing
watches and other samples. All the valua-
bles found on the person of the victim
were taken by the murderous robber. A
special from Snohomish City says posse
of citizens are securing the country and
that if Leroy is captured he will pro baby
be lynched. Phillips is Hebrew, twenty
eight years old and unmarried.

STEPHENS rs RELEASED.
officers Find No Proof of BIS Connectto,
With Bank Robbers.


LOS ANGELES, CAL, June o. The
case against ]. K. Stephens, suspected OF
completely in the late attempt to rob the
money vaults of the First National Bank
of this city, was dismissed this forenoon
by Justice Morrison. District Attorney
James explained that he had not been
able to secure from the Police Department
evidence sufficient to make out case
against Stephens. The action of the Dis
trict Attorney in moving for the dismissal
was no surprise in the courtroom, for it
was quite generally known about the po-
lice station that no evidence of damaging
nature against Stephens had been found.
The Police Department is "up tree"
1t was able to arrest only one man, and
now he is free. The Express tonight saws:
The Express has held all along that stephens
had nothing to do with the attempted robbery.
1t is not improbable that the guilty parties are
now walking the streets of the city wearing
good clothes and two-carat diamonds. 1t is
Understood that Stephens attorney was armed
this morning with everything necessary to es-
tablish an absolute ali hi for his client.

readiness with which they obeyed the
commands and executed the maneuvers.
