FORMER WEALTHY BANKER ~
ING IN ALMsHousE.
A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE
Absconded From Vienna With Large
sum Only to Die Pauper's
Death.

New York, Sept. 29.-Ending his
days as an inmate OF the almshouse
on B~lackwell's Island, there has been
identified in Adolph Boedsch, says
the Times, a one-time banker OF Wen
ma, whom the Austrian police have
been hunting for years in Vienna.
Boedsch is known as Adolph Bet
telheimer, a banker, and, he is alleg-
ed to have disappeared with upwards
of $25O,OOO. The Identification was
made by a city detective, but it is
not likely that Boedsch will be de-
ported for his alleged crime. The
man is now yer 60 and is absolutely
penniless. There would be little to
induce the Austrian authorities to
| request his ~extradition.
1t was in 1894 that Betteliaeirner
departed from Vienna. A few days
after he had been reported missing
his hat and various articles Of cloth
ing belonging to him were found be-
side the Danube on the outskirts OF
the city.
A body was found a few days at
forwards in the river and was identl
fed by Mrs. Bettelheimer as her nus
band. A few days after Mrs. Bet
telheimer disappeared.
Now, both husband and wife are in
the almshouse. The four years the

Many Public Institutions Are Threat

W

this city are threatened with being
seriously affected by the scarcity of
coal. The j. Hood Wright hospital
has only enough coal to last a week.
While st. Luke's vas SO fortunate as
to obtain a cargo of "A tons about a

st. Mary's hospital for children has
practically no supply of steam coal,
and is using furnace coal, of which
it has about 25 tons. This condition
prevails at many other institutions.
II. was said at the Office Of the char
tiles department that no real distress
had been experienced at any of the
city's charitable institutions. The
price of anthracite has reached S3l.
but some retailers are peddling out
their small supply at $15 or SIG to old
customers.

French bituminous can in no way re

5000 tons of this coal On the way

fer over $4,000 tons. At least q
month is required. however, to fill the
orders. The cost of importing Welsh
coal under<normal conditions is about

Manila, Sept. 3O.--It is understood
that 5,124 cases of cholera and 2,74O

province of Iloilo, was the worst sui
ferer, 1,173 cases being reported there
Monday. At C%abaettan there were SS9
cases and at Dumangas, a95~ cases
were reported Monday. The people
are fleeing to the mountains, leaving
the dead unburied and the dying UNI
