DfLMAS' DETECTIVE
CHARGED WITH ROBBING A WO-
MAN IN LONDON
After Deserving Jeannie Young He
Remained in England to Ply His
Trade-His Latest Victim

LONDON, June 1S.-Joseph Won Arnold
a private detective of San Francisco, who
married JEANNE Young in that city in April
1897, and who deserted her in London, is now
under arrest here, charged with obtaining
e146 from hairdresser under the pretense
that he, Won Arnold. was heir to a large
estate in Germany. 1t has developed that
the prisoner has four wives. He was last
married in May, 1898. Won Arnold passed
as a count when he married JEANNE Young,
who at the time had an action pending
against leading attorney of San Francisco
for the support of her son. an alleged off,
spring of the lawyer. Won Arnold's trial
will take place at the next sessions.
(Joseph Won Arnold. alias Baron Carl Won
Arenholdt, alias Baron Won Arnold. alias
Count Won Steinmetz, is well known in Los
Angeles. He came here as a private de-
tective and by his persecution of woman
whom he followed here from the east got
into the police courts and thence into the
city Jail for fifty days. He served his time
washing the cuspidors and scrubbing the
floors of the city prison and upon his re-
lease went to San Francisco, where he next
appeared as the husband of JEANNE Young,
the woman who claims to have been mar
ried to the well known attorney, d. M.
Delmas. The story Of bow Arnold persuaded
the woman to go to Europe with him and
there deserted her Is still fresh in the MIND s.
of the people. Jeannie Young is now in San
Francisco and is making things interesting
for her enemies.)

TROUBLE FOR ROME
THE MINISTRY FORMED MAY
LAST RESIGNS
Uproar in the Chamber Of Deputies.
The Army Heartily Supported
By the Left-Grave Results

ROME, June 1S.-In the Chamber OF
Deputies today the Premier. the Marquis
di Rudini, announced that the ministry,
which was formed only on May 81, has re-
signed.
Amidst considerable excitement the Mar
quis di Rudini said that after considering
the parliamentary situation and in order
not to prejudice a grave public question, the
Ministers had placed their designations in
the hands of the King, who reserved the
right of decision relative to their accep-
tance, a remark which was greeted with
murmurs.
Continuing, the Marquis said the Ministry
would remain in office for the present in
order to attend to routine business and
safeguard public order. He then begged the
Chamber to suspend its sittings. The re-
quest was met with shouts of mo! nor
The Premier added that the Chamber
could confer on its President the power of
resummoning the Deputies when it was con-
sidered necessary to do so for approving an
account for short period. Loud dissenting
murmurs followed this suggestion.
Signor vendemi, Republican, demanded
that the sessions continue and expressed
lively regret for the recent victims of the
military government. This caused loud
protests from all sides, and the Extreme
Leftists rose and frantically cheered for the
army.
The president of the chamber, who was
loudly cheered, angrily protested against
Signor Vendemi's remarks and Signor Sou
nino, the former minister of the treasury,
moved a vote approving the conduct of the
army during the "recent unhappy events"
After the minister of war, Signor San
Mariana, had made a speech eulogizing The
army, the request of the Marquis di Ru-
DIM that the chamber suspend its sittings
for the present was approved and the house
adjourned. 1t is generally thought that the
resignation of the ministry foreshadows
grave events.
