Case Against Miss BIumenthaI Adj

New York, Dec. S.-Rosie Blumen-

Gently gained considerable notoriety
through posing in the nude for Artist
Kwick, was before Police Justice GOet-
ting in the Lee Avenue police court,
Williamsburg yesterday on her
fathers charge of indecent exposure.
He had her arrested on q warrant a
week ago last Saturday night. and
when she was arraigned in court the
next morning she was parOled in the
custody of her father for final hear
ing yesterday.
1t was thought that BlumenthaI
would withdraw the charge on his
daughters promise to behave. He ex-
pressed his intention Of prosecuting
the girl, however, when the case was
called, much to the surprise of the
daughter. Blumenthal told the court
that since the girl was p9roled she re-
NAMED out late at nights and would
not look for employment
The girl denied this. She said that
one night she went TO a theatre and
the rest of her time was occupied in
attending to the case against Arts.

Police Justice Goetting adjourned
the case until next Monday, when the

IF 1 had known that I was doing
such a horrible thing when / posed
for Artist Kwick 1 should never have
done So" she said. You see. this was
my first attempt as a model, and to
think that 1T should have resulted in
such shameful publicity-it is too
bad"
When Miss Blumenthal was asked IL
she would ever pose again as model.
she dropped her head, and, after a
moments hesitation, replied:
That is question that I cannot
answer. 1 have already received let
tiers from artists in this city, New
York and nearby towns to pose, but
all these letters l have DESTROYED, so
you see it is very likely that l may
never do so again.

The party of buffalo hunters" who
left the city on Sunday morning for
Antelope island have not yet returned,
neither has any authentic tidings been
heard of them. Something unexpected
must have happened, as it was their
intention to be back on Sunday night
or sometime on Monday at the latest.
Their protracted absence is causing
some alarm among their friends, al
though this is probably not well
founded, as parties crossing the lake
to the island have frequently been
stranded for days on sardbanks or
becalmed, and the probability is the
latter is accountable for the absence OF
the nimrods.
The party is composed of Colonel
Shaughnessy, Nick Treweek, Martin
Lannan, Harry Edwards, Joe Engen-
sperger, Manager Brown of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, Mr..
Brockbank, William L. White and Re
porters Lien and Mckay of The Herald
and Tribune and crew of four men
to sail the boat.
PLENTY OF FOOD.
They took provisions enough to last
for several days, including a roast loin
of beef, dozens of roast chickens,
sausages. an ample supply of bread and
vegetables. some water and a good
deal of whisky.
They embarked near Pennington. on
Sunday morning, in the large fiat-boJ-
toned scow used to take cattle to and
from the island, expecting to make the
trio of Is miles across under sail in a
couple of hours, and that is the last
heard of them. Pennington people,
however, say that late in the afternoon
low 70.
in a dead calm, and yesterday after
noon the weather was clear and the
boat was seen again in about the same
place as on Sunday, apparently having
made no Roadway in either direction. 1t
is pretty certain that they have been
laying a few miles from the island
since Sunday afternoon, becalmed, and
that the buffalo they intended
slaughtering still lives. The boat is a
large lubberly affair, big enough to
transport so or 50 head of cattle. and so
heavy that without a fresh breeze no
Roadway could be made, rowing being
out of the question.
SUFFERING FROM COLD.
or no shelter. and with the bitter cold
weather. made doubly so by the freez-
ing winds on the lake, they must be
having a pretty tough time provided
the supposition is correct that they
have been lying on the bosom of the
waters for three days.
There are those, however, who say
that the party landed all right and are
having such a splendid time killing
buffalo, elk and other big game and
sleeping in the comfortable quarters at
the ranch that they are loath to re-
turn, and will probably stay there
while live animal remains on the
island.
If some news is not heard of them
today, however, there is talk of steam
ing up the Taluia and sending out a
search party to find out for certain
what has become of them, 1t is feared
if they are still on the boat that they
are suffering for fresh water and that
their supply of other drinks may have
given out
