GIRL F0RSAKES CONVENT
Said to BE Heir. to Fortune O.
100000. 8

Portland, Ore, April 16-Wilfully 1eav-
ing behind the protection and advantages
of a convent school in this city to enter
upon more rapid career, such as may be
had in common music hall, then sudden
ly finding herself an heiress in her own
right and the world and all it's freedom
actually hers-such is the chapter of life
OF Ida M. Long. She is half orphan, her
father being dead. Her mother, now liv-
ing in Los Angeles, formerly conducted a
hotel at La Grange, Ore. Last December
Ida was placed in Catholic school in
this city by her mother. The girl ran away
from this place and sought what are al
legged to be wild ways of living. One Mr.
Jarvis Of Los Angeles was hunting for
the girl, who, he confided to the lawyer
who had taken care of the case in the po-
lice court, was heir to 100000. Mr.. Ear
Wis was said to be acting for Mrs. Long of
Los Angeles. Mr.. Jarvis offered money
to find Miss Long. Certain friends of
hers were visited here, and she was To-
Gated at Aberdeen. Mr.. Jarvis then sent
Attorney Watts to Aberdeen to see the
girl and induce her to go home, as for
tune was left to her and her presence
there was necessary to settlement.
Miss Long consented to return to Port
land, but would not have anything to do
with her mothers agent, nor with any
one else excepting through her attorney.
She made terms. She said she would go
to Los Angeles to attend to the settle
nent Of the estate if expenses for herself
and her counsel were guaranteed in ad-
Vance.
AS Mr.. Jarvis was not anxious to pay
the expenses of the trip over to the
sound, the matter was dropped and the
agent who offered to tell the girl. how
/ the disposal of the Wisconsin fortune
stood, went home without accomplishing
anything Mr.. Watts has a letter from
Joseph Chase, an uncle of Ida Longs, al
Oshkosh, Wis. to their client, under date
of Dec. 49,. This letter contains the first
| intimation that the girl says she ever
had that any money was coming to her
| from any source.

.KRON in MINNESOTA
Could Not Secure Endorsement Of
Senator Nelson.
FIGURE IN BRIBERY" FIAsCo
Washington Continues Guessing
Hard About Representa-
tive Eddy.

Building, Washington. - = $3.50 o.
Washington, April 17.-A' Kron, who re-
Gently has achieved notoriety in connec-
tion with the Danish West Indies islands
bribery story-a story, by the way, which
has t1attened out, completely-cut quite a
wide swath in Minnesota during the first
Mckinley campaign. Kron was a
student at Harvard for some time, and
Impressed the New England republican
senator's and members of the national
committee with the idea that he was a
great man. There is considerable
Scandinavian settlement in New Eng
land, and Kron prevailed on the national
committee to make him a member of the
detail which was to do missionary work
among these people. He had himself APP
pointed on subcommittee of that detail,
having translations and newspaper work
in charge, and then it was that the scene
of his activities was transferred to Mime
sofa.
He was not long in getting the Scand-
navians Of the state by the ears, and the
national committee learning of his eff
forts, took him away from the state, and
soon thereafter dismissed him. 1t seems
that Kron made an arrangement with a
certain publisher in Minneapolis, Dane,
to edit and translate a lot Of literature for
the Swedish and Norwegian papers of the
state. The Swedish editors naturally took
exceptions to this arrangement, as did the
Norwegian editors. It was pointed out
that the Sdewish people ought to be per-
mitted to translate into their own Ian
guage and the Norwegians into theirs.
They did not want a Dane doing this work
for them. 1t took. a, lot Of hard work to
straighten out the tangfe, and several
trips to Chicago by state campaign leaders
were necessary. It should be said that
as soon as Senator Hanna got hold of the
affair, he promptly repudiated Kron's
methods, which he said were not at all in
harmony with the plans Of the national
committee. ~ -
