ROMANCE, not CRIME
Edward Tuttle Says That He and
Lizzie Zimmerman Had Eloped
Nothing More.
Nevertheless, He Is Charged With
Abduction by the Father Of
49,. the Girl. ~ -...

Edward futile, a farm hand, will be
arraigned in municipal court. Tomorrow
morning charged with abducting Lizzie
zimmerman, the 14-year-old daughter of.
Henry Zimmerman, a well-to-do farmer
residing near Brooklyn Center. Tuttle and
the girl were found by Detectives Howard
and De Laittre working on a farm near
Hastings, Mimi, and were brought to
Minneapolis last night. Mr.. Zimmerman
was notified and appeared at the county
attorneys office this morning and swore
out warrant charging Tuttle with alb
d'.CtlnS his daughter. -..,
The Zimmerman girl disappeared from
her nome on a farm near Brooklyn Gen.
ter On the night of Aug. -. Shortly be-
fore she disappeared Mr.. Zimmerman had
employed Tuttle as a. farm hand. Ac-
cord.l.g to the story told by both the girl
and the man at police headquarters, an
attachment sprang up between the couple
and they planned to get married. 1t was
agreed that they would go away together,
and OH the night of Aug. 12 Tuttle Sc
cured rig in Minneapolis and drove to
a point not far from the Zimmerman
farm. The girl met him there and they
came to the city together. The. next day
they went to St. Paul and finally both Sc
cured work on the farm near Hastings,
where they were arrested.
Wher seen in his cell at the Central
police station to-day, Tuttle said:
We went away together because I wanted her
and she wanted We, intended to get mar
ried and had put it off until we got month S
wages, which would have been soon. They say
1t Is a case of abduction. l would call it a
simple elopement..
The girl could not be seen but it is un-
derstood that she told exactly the same
story as futile.
At the time Of the girls disappearance
Mr.. Zimmerman said that he thought his
daughter had been kidnapped and that 1t
| was the intention of her abductors to hold
her for ransom. He also said that he was
| willing to give a reasonable sum for he1
safe return. This fact was given pub
licity through the newspapers and ap-
pears to have excited the cupidity Of Ger
tain persons who had nothing to do with
| the abduction Of the girl, but who were
anxious to work upon the feelings Of the
| father to secure money in return for in
formation concerning. the girls where
! abouts About two weeks ago Mr.. Z1na
norman received letter, signed, Bill,
offering to give information concerning
| the girls whereabouts if Mr.. Zimmerman
would meet the writer at a certain place
in Minneapolis and pay $3.50 in return fol
the information that would enable him tt
find his daughter. Owing to mistake
in the delivery Of letters, the appoint
ment was never kept Tuttle denies writ
/ ing the letters and stoutly maintains tina
he knows nothing about them. The police
believe that he is telling the truth ant
think that the letters were written d.
some on who knew nothing about the girl
/ Miss Zimmerman and her father re
| turned to their home near Brooklyn cen
| ter this morning after having futile nell

'MOzIED' TWO YEARS
Fred Stewards Mascot Stayed With
Him Clear Around the
Globe.
Everywhere He Stopped, He Found
/ Paying Employment Waiting
| for Him.

Fred A. Stewart, son of Alexander
Stewart of the Monarch Elevator COM
pany, is in Minneapolis to-day after an alb
sence of almost two years in foreign
travel, having encircled the globe. Mr..
Stewart. who is 20 years Of age, was in
his junior year at the state university
when he left, and his first act upon re-
turning was to register again as stu
dent. 80 o..
g. For year before his departure young
Stewart s. desire burned strong for the
sights Of the great world. In December.
1900. he left. San Francisco for Nagasaki,
Japan, having no definite object in mind
or any purpose beyond a desire to see the
land of the mikado.
. ~ A Place Waiting for Him.
At the time there was a vacancy in
the consular service there, and Mr.. Stew
art having formed close acquaintance with
the American representatives soon after
his arrival was advised to make applica-
ton for the post. He was successful The
office Of vice consul at Nagasaki was not
bad berth for young man of % to tum-
BILE into. This office he filled for some
months until the New York Life Insurance
company offered him the post of cashier
in it's office at Shanghai, China. This
position he held until the turn of the fol-
lowing year, when the old desire to travel
became too strong, and he struck out fol
Borneo. Two months we're spent in the
China sea. After a glimpse of Sumatraa
and Java, Mr.. Stewart wound up at Hong
kong, but only to sail again directly fol
the Philippines.
An Interpreter in Manila.
Mr.. Stewards wonderful luck remained
with him, and one week from his arriva.
in Manila his ability to speak German
French and Spanish became known to the
head of the police department of the city
AS there was demand for linguists and in
terpreters. Mr.. Stewart found himself
promptly installed in the office Of the
chief OF the government secret service
which position he held until he reached
the decision to return home and complete
his education. The return trip was varied
| by minor tour in Arabia and severa
| months spent in Italy, Austria, Switzer
land, France and England.
| OF all the striking impressions Of hi
travels the one that remains uppermost
says Mr.. Stewart, Is that of the ute
hopelessness of ever making anything 0
the oriental peoples from the American
viewpoint of what men should be. Lazi
ness is the prime characteristic, and o
all the eastern peoples Mr.. Stewart be
lieves the Filipinos are the LATEST. No on
who has not been there can have an.
idea of the difficulties that the American
soldiers and the American teachers hav
had to contend with in their work, bu
| the results attained even so far are WORT
the sacrifice and with the growth of Amer
lean ideas and influences, the islands, h
believes, will ultimately be raised to
state of civilization that they have neve
| known.
