RICH GIRL FOOLS THE POLICE.
Only Eighteen. But Lived High at
Ncy York Hotels.


New York, June 19.-'Miss Richards, of
stealing clothing and jewelry from Mrs.
W. c. Wooley, in the Hotel Gerard, was
arraigned in the police court yesterday,
and her case was continued. As a matter
of fact, she is Fannie Mcpherson, eight
cen years old. and a resident of Worcester,
Mass. where her father is a banker.
Chief Devery summed her up today thus:
This country girl made some of our
sharpest hotelkeepers, and one or two of
my men for that matter, look like thirty
cents
Miss Mcpherson and her handbag came
here two weeks ago, and nothing short of
suites of three rooms at the hotels would
do for her. Her trunks and horses were
always going 10 arrive in two or three
days, and many were her enquiries about
good stable accommodations for her sad
die pets. In the matter of individual
nourishment she always ordered the cost
liest viands supplied by the house.
Worcester police records show that Fan
ny McIa erson was arrested In 1897, when
only seen years old, charged with steal
ing clothing from the Hamilton Hotel
She had run away from home. She was
sent TO the Industrial School at Lancaster,
Mass, for eighteen months.
The girl imposed on many livery stable
keepers OF Worcester. Her fayorite plan
was to telephone some stable and order a
team sent TO some house occupied by
p. ointment persons. Then she would hurry
10 that house and obtain permission to
rest in hall or parlor until her carriage
called. She was generally allowed to stay,
and when the carriage came she would
coolly walk out and drive off

RELICS OF A VANISHED RACE.
Evidence That Mound Builders Once
Lived i'm the Ladroncs.

Victoria, B. c.. June 19.-Prof. Franz
Mueller. of Munich, who has. been identi-
fed with the management of large Ger
man investments in Samoa during the last
two years, has made remarkable discov-
cry on two of the islands OF the Ladrones
chain, the nearer and larger of these be-
ing only ninety miles from San lgnacio de
Agana, capital of the group.
Prof. Mueller had noticed several Curl
Gus stone bowls in use by the natives in
his employ totally unlike their customary
utensils and was told they had been found
''in the ground" on an island twenty miles
away.
Having occasion to pay this island a visit
soon afterward, he was exploring numer-
Gus mounds. decidedly similar to those of
Ohio and Central America, constructed in
regular geometrical figures. and each pos
sessing a great well. another characteristic
Of the American mounds.
Scores OF ornaments. curiously carved
pipes, household utensils and implements
or weapons of stone, copper and mica were
unearthed and are now packed for ship
ment to German museums.
These souvenirs of a vanished race are
and the ancient dwellers in the Mississippi
Valley. and Prof. Mueller's theory is that
the mound builders Of America and the
Ladrones were kindred races. The natives
of the South Sea Islands have nothing in
their legends or history regarding the
mounds or their builders.

THREE OF THIRTEEN DROWNED
Pnrty of Gathers Caught in the Gulf
UnAertoNN.

Dallas, Texas. June 19.-The treacheEous
undertow of the Gulf caused the loss of
three lives at Galveston Saturday night
The rest of party of thirteen bathers had
narrow escapes, and were rescued by the
heroic efforts Of promenaders on the beach.
The drowned were Eta Thorne. IA years
old Marian Howard, 16 years Old. and
Irene Lauderdale l6 years old.
Thirteen young men and women entered
the surf at the Eastern Broadway end of
the beach. Those rescued are not able 10
clearly tell how the accident happened.
All agree that they felt themselves icing
drawn out to sea. and, realizing their dan
ger, tried to return TO the beach, but the
undercurrents were too strong, and in 4
moment every one of the bathers was
struggling for life Some were carried sew
eral hundred feet by the current
After several hours search the to1y OF
Marian Howard was recovered in the rocks
OF the breakwater at the foot of Sixth
Street The other bodies were recovered
yesterday.
The undercurrent created by the sixth
Street breakwater and Ninth Street jetty
work make the spot where the droHnin :
occurred dangerous ground for tathers.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.
The Rev. Wilbur r. CRAFTS State
ments mt Variance With Facts.

The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, who Is we'll
known in Washington as a vehement
enemy to alcohol and more or less vio-
lent censor of men who quaif from foam
ing fagons, preached two sermons at At
lantic City on Sunday against the alleged
sin that he so hates.
II the telegraphic reports of these ad-
dresses be correct the Rev Mr. Crafts
statement of fact was not so straight as
the path in which he would have men
walk.
The dispatches set forth that the rev
erend gentleman told his hearers that the
Judge Advocate General of the Army had
rendered an opinion to the Secretary of
War holding that the anticanteen law was
valid and sprohibitory. He inferred that
this opinion was rendered on March IL
1899. and that he, the Rev. Mr. Crafts
had been Inadvertently apprised of it by
careless clerk in the War Department
The idea which the preacher is reported
to have conveyed was that the Judge Ad-
vocate General of the Army and the At
torney General held opposing opinions as
to the construction of the anti-canteen act
passed by Congress to regulate the sale
of intoxicating drinks at the various Army
posts and encampments throughout the
United States.
There is no conflict, nor has there teen
any, on this subject between the Judge
Advocate General of the Army and the
Attorney General.
General G. n. Lieber, Judge Advocate
General, on March IL. when asked by the
Secretary of War. gave it as his opinion
that beer should be included in the list of
intoxicating beverages. This is the cnly
opinion he rendered in relation to the anti
canteen law.
Attorney General Griggs. on April 4.
1899, rendered his opinion that the act of
Congress did not prohibit canteens. but
merely prohibited the employment of SOL
diers in these canteen for the purpose
Of dispensing drinks.
The Attorney General said that the law
that he was asked to interpret consisted of
three parts Of clauses
First, that no officer or private :'oldier
shall be detailed to sell intoxicating drinks,
as a bartender or otherwise. in any post
exchange or canteen.
Second, nor shall any other person be
required or allowed to sell such liquors in
any encampment or fort or on any premi-
ses used for military purposes by the
United States.
Third, and the Secretary of War is here
by directed to issue such general order as
may be necessary TO carry the provisions
of this section into full force and effect"
