BRITISH PLANS TO
COMPETE WITH MORGAN.
shipping Combine to Form ALI
British Route to Far East.

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London. June 20-(Copyr!ght. 1s02.)-Tne
British shipping combination which intends
to compete with the Morgan syndicate for
the North Atlantic and Pacific freight and
passenger business Is now practically con-
summated. Many reports OF the formation
of the new syndicate more or less accurate,
have appeared in the last week.
To-day the following details were learned
from a thoroughly reliable source: SIR
Christopher FurnssS IS to be the head Of
at go OOlcOO CSlOQ, ,000, ,00l, The Cunard com
pany Is included in the deal.
The British Government has agreed to
increase largely the present subsidies. while
Canada promises at least 81 10000 yearly.
Six large passenger boats, capable OF
twenty-five knots an hour. are TO be built,
aggregate cost of $42, 500 600.
The entire capital, II is said. has been
uLderwritten. One well-known capitalist:
who offered to take UP q big block of
stock. was tod that the whole amount had
been subscribed.
In the minus of those who support the
scheme. the Atlantic aspect is not greater
than the Pacific. The main idea Is the
utilization Of the Canadian Pacific Railway
the chief link in the chain bringing Aus
trl,asia, india, China ana Japan into nearer
and more Intimate touch with England and
prov!din an all-Hr!tish route, shorter than
any at present available.

TOOK MONEY TO BUY CLOTHES.
Bertha Weiner Says Companions
Made Fun of Her Attire.

Because her girl friends laughed at her
clothes, Bertha Weiner. II years DID, giving
her address as No. 1892 Blair avenue, robbed
her employer, she says. so that she could
dress better. A warrant was sworn out
against her yesterday charging petit lar
ceny. Although the girl comes of good fam
fly and has four married sisters In ST Louis
in good circumstances, not one, she says,
visited her at the Fourth District Station,
where she has been confined since Thursday
night.
She was employed by John Hamm. who
conducts bakery at No. 1881 Franklin ave-
nue.. Hamm missed an amount of money
from a small savings bank. and as he had
noticed the girl buying ribbons and trim
mings became suspicious and accused her
of taking It. She admitted the theft and
begged him not to prosecute, promising to
return the amount, about Sc.
He refused however. as she did not have
the money. turning the girl over to the po-
lice Thursday night, and yesterday morning
swore out a warrant. Before going to the
Four Courts he interviewed two of the girls
sisters, saying he would not press the
charge If he was reimbursed. The relatives,
however, refused. The girl, who Is quite
pretty, says If she Is released she will write
to her father in Germany to send for her.

INQUIRIES AFTER WEALTH.
Anxious Persons Seek to Establish
Relationship to Rich Old Miser.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Los Angeles. Cal, June 2O.-Mayor Sny-
ders mail is packed with letters re-
lating to the late Charles Hill, whose for
tune of 200 would reconcile numerous
inouirers to confess relationship to the
miserly old man who lately died at the
Good Samaritan Hospital. Apparently the
sole basis for suspecting that Hill was re-
lated to these people is the disappearance
of aged relatives who had come West in
pursuit of wealth. Several have reasonable
grounds for inquiry. the names of relatives
being similar. to that of the wealthy .nisan-
thrope.
One of the most interesting of the COM
muIications to arrive was one from Mrs
Emily Kingsborough OF Cleveland, o. She
writes that she adopted and reared as her
own a baby girl, whose mother was unable
to support the child and who would not re-
veal her name. When the child was in the
High School. a stranger called and asked
to see the girl; His name was Charles
Hill. and he said he lived in California: The
stranger said that the girl resembled his
sister, and he expressed an intention to
give her $4,000 when she should be % years
of age. The girl, reared with the belief
that she was the daughter of Mrs. Kings
borough, was left In ignorance OF her
possible relationship to the visitor. who
returned to San Francisco. When % year5
of age the girl died and Hill was notified of
that occurrence. Since then nothing has
been heard of him untfl the telegram awak-
ened the interest of her foster-mother, who
thought II possible that the dead man was
her adopted daughters father.
