JEWELS RETURNED TO THIEF.
American Girl Victim of Foolish R..
Tape in Paris.

PARIS. April 13.-Miss Elsie Daniels.
the daughter of an American merchant
here, has just had an illustration of
French red tape in all its beauty.
Her chambermaid stole from her sum
of money and jewels. The plumber shs
stili had concealed about her person
when she was arrested. On being put
in Jail the servant had to deposit with
the registrar of the prison the valuables
she had with her, and of course. she
had to hand over the stolen property with
whatever else she had.
The maid was sentenced to prison for
six months, her term expiring yesterday.
As soon as she was released both the
servant and her former mistress appeared
before the registrar to claim their prop
erty. The official. though he well knew
the facts. argued that he must return the
vaIuabIes to the person holding the re-
ceipt for them. and thereupon gave the
stolen money and jewels to the THIEF, who
promptly disappeared.
Miss Daniels will now sue the state.

The mystery of the Navy Department
portrait still remains unsolved For some
days the painting of the handsome young
man which was found tackled on the back
Of the portrait of Commodore John Per
ciyal has been on exhibition in the Of
nee OF the Secretary of the Navy. and has
been viewed by naval officers both old and
young. No one knows whom the painting
represents or how it came to BE- hidden
in such an unusual manner.
Speculation among the older officers of
the navy. many of whom knew Commo-
dcre Perciyal personally, is inclined to
lean toward the opinion that the young
man Eith the flowing brown locks and
square chin was Mad Jack Percival
himself when young man. There is
nothing, however, to substantiate this
opinion except a certain similarity be-
tween the features of the old man and
the young one.
John Percival was born in Barnstable,
Mass. in 1779 and died, after most in
terssting and gallant career at RoXbury,
Mass. in 1862. In 1909 he left the mer
chant service and entered the United
States navy as a sailing master. He be-
came lieutenant in 1914, and during the
war with England was in several i'm
portant engagements, displaying marked
courage in the capture of the British ten
der Eagle off New York Harbor, and in
the enga gements between the Peacock and
the Epervier. In 1881 Percival was made
a captain, and in 1871 he made his last
cruise in the Constitution He retired

NOT NEEDED IN AUSTRIA.
Man Who Went to Prove Himself Alive
Has Useless Trip.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Dr. Marcus Nue.
stacder. of Iii Rivington Street president
Of the Austr an Charities of New York,
received cablegram today from Dr.
Bloch. the leader OF the Jewish party in
the Austrian Parliament, informing him
that the relatives of Schulim Schnur had
been discharged from prison.
Schnur. who is nineteen years old. ar
rived in this country a month ago and
East Side. He told his brother he had
been enticed into a monastery in Venisch,
Austria, by a promise of mCney and had
been asked to change his religion. His
relatives kidnapped him and put him
aboard ship at Rotterdam. bound for
America.
Soon after he reached this country let
ters we're received stating that ten Of his
relatives had been arrested on a charge of
numbering him. These reports were con-
frmed by the Austrian consul in this
city. The home authorities cabled to the
consul that only young Schnur's presence
could save the accused persons.
When these facts became known to the
Austrian Hebrew colony on the East Side
a public meeting was held last Monday
night to raise money to send the young
man home. The meeting was held last
Monday night in the Synagogue at At
torney Street, and the money to pay the
expenses OF the journey was at once sub
scribed. Schnur sailed two days later.
To-day DR.. Neustaeder received the in
telligence that the relatives of the youth
had been discharged and that accordingly
there was no need for him to return to
Austria. Dr. Neustasder said after he had
received the cablegram that it was just IS
well anyway that young Schnur was on his
way home.
The populace of the town of Dombrova.
where the Schnurs live, he added, was
greatly worked up against the Jews there
because of the alleged murder, and the
arrival OF young Schnur in the flesh and
blood might tend to allay the excitement
more quickly than would a volume of aft

TRIED BY HIS OWN WIFE.
Woman Justice of the Peace Gave Her
Husband the Limit.

OSWEGo. y. Y. April 13.-3frs. Esther
Morris. whose death has just occurred
in Cheyenne, Wyo., was born and lived
for many years in Oswego. She was
known as the mother OF woman suffrage
in Wyoming. and she held the office OF
justice of the peace there-the only wom-
an that ever held that Office.
She was noted for the impartiality OF
her administration. Her husband was
once brought before her for a slight in
fraction OF the law. The courtroom was
crowded, as ii was expected that she
would show favor in his case. After a
severe cross-examination she gave him
the severest penalty of the law for the
offense. and then iectured him on the
enormity OF law breaking.
At her death Mrs. Morris was eighty
eight years old.

When these artists appeared in Washing

expressed desire on the part OF a large
portion of the local public.
On previous occasions the career OF
each has been detailed and always fur

came popular years ago as the boy phe
nomenon and Gerardy has occupied an en-
viable place in public esteem for a long
time. While kreisler came to Washing

in SO short a time that the public gasped,

Gerardy IS always delightful. His tone
is smooth and exceptionally sweet, and
he succeeds in illustrating the true worth
of the instrument

said. He seems to be familiar with every
possibility of the violin and plays with
exquisite feeling and fms.
