Captain Strong Disappears Diamonds

Captain Strong Disappears-Diamon
 of Actress Pawned.
 New York, July 21.-Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of former Mayor William l.. Strong, who eight months ago re- signed from the United States army and went abroad with May Yohe, the actress, formerly Lady Francis Hope, has disappeared. He left a note be- hind saying, according to close friend of Miss Yohe, that he would not be seen again and that he was tired of his alliance with the former actress and took that way of discontinuing it. It is alleged that diamonds of the actress valued at $100,00O were pawned and that Strong sent a pawn ticket to his mother showing that $10,000 had been realized on the jewelry.
 Miss Yohe lives with her mother at Hastings-on- the Hudson They have engaged Emanuel Friend to look after their interests. MT Friend said yester- day: ssThere is much about this case that I cannot give to the public at this time. Suffice it to say that Strong has disappeared and that every known means of finding him and bringing him back to this city will be employed by me and by the Pinkerton detective agency. There are good reasons why Strong must be returned. Miss Yohe and her mother are my clients The former consists of loss of dia- monds of considerable value. I don't know how much. I believe Strong is alive despite the fact that he evidently desired to convey the impression upon his departure that he would be seen on earth no more. Things happened be- fore his departure which would iadi- cate that the is still on earth I do not think he has gone to the Philippines as has been suggested to me- He is too well known there. But we will find him''
 It was found that in the books of the safety deposit company the box in which the jewels had been kept was registered in the name of Strong This was q surprise to Miss Yohe. Mr Friend caused the receptacle to be opened ,and found that some of the jewelry-in fact more than half of it, still remained. The last article pawned was for the sum of $500, and the ticket 1 bore the date of the day of Strong's l disappearance.
 Pittsfeld, Mass, July 21.-For two or three days this week detectives have 1 been in this city and Lenox in search l of Putnam B. Strong, but they obtain ed no evidence to the effect that he had been in the Berkshires. Friends of MT 1 Strong in Lenox assert that he has ire | quently asked Mrs William l.. Strong, i his mother, for pecuniary aid, saying l that unless she gave it to him he would | be forced into bankruptcy.

A Ch1naman,s P1igI,t.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-Lo low. a Chinaman who had been refused pass by the Chinese bureau here, is in a peculiar position. He is desirous of taking trip to China, but has no certificate of registration, as he claims he is native born. The bureau refuses to admit that he is a native, though it has not detained him for deporta- ton. In order to have a chance to show in court that he is a citizen, low had himself arrested and charged with illegal residence in this country. He was brought before United States Commissioner Heacock for hearing, but the commissioner ordered him dis missed from custody. Heacock de- clares that if he granted hearing on such a charge to low, thousands of Chinese would follow their country mans example and try to prove their citizenship. A hearing before him was not the proper mode of procedure.

J. r. GRIFFITH, A CONTRACTOR OF
WooDLAWN, SHOOTS WILLIAM
HARDEMAN-LATTER MAY LOSE
AN EYE.

VIII Hardeman was shot In the face
tractor of Woodlawn, yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. The shooting occurred
in a house owned by the latter next to
the one in which he resides.
A number of the bird shot took effect
in Hardemans face and eyes and it is
probable he will loose one eye. He was
carried to Copeland & Berry's sanitarium
where the shots were extracted as far
as possible The two men were about
forty or fifty yards apart when the shoot
ing occurred, otherwise 1t Is probable
Hardeman would have been killed, or at
least his face horribly mutilated.
The shooting occurred In a house adjoin-
ing the one occupied by Griffith and his
wife, on Fifty-second street and Second
avenue, north 1t is said Griffith went
home and found the keys of the next
House in his house. He went next door
and pried open window. 1t is not known
what he saw in there to anger him, but
thrust his head out of the window Grif-
fifth fired.
Marshal Sandifer of Woodlawn arrest
ed Griffith and swore out a warrant be-
fore Justice Johnson charging him with
assault with intent to murder. Griffith
came to the sheriff's office and later
made bond for $500. The trial has not been
set.
Mr.. Griffith refused to make a state
ment. but his brother verified the above
facts except the cause of the shooting
Mr.. Griffith Is well known contractor
about SO years old. Hardeman, so far
as was possible to find out last night,
has no employment. He has been away
from Birmingham for a number of years
and has only recently returned.

forces worked yesterday at laying two
new tracks on Thirty-second street along
the same line as that by which the Seal
board Air Line desires to enter the city
and for which it has franchises given by
the Board of Revenue. No attempts were
made during the day to enter the city
and build along Avenue A.
The company is laying rails along a
road bed which is very rough. to say the
least and is placing down a rail that
seems second hand. This class of rails is
what is termed rusty" and of possibly
Go or 20 pounds weight The ties are not
placed with any degree of regularity,
some being from four to six feet apart.
Along Thirty-second street from Avenue
the old line runs to Avenue e. Along
this line at Avenue A the Belt road Is
building one track on each side of the
present track and a short distance from
Avenue A Is grading down a slight bluff,
through which the line runs.
In talking of the matter yesterday the
foreman who has charge of the laying of
tracks said:
ut is the object of the company to
lay these tracks on each side of the pres
ent track. but to take up the present
track and move the outer tracks closer
together. leaving solely a double track
road"
No other statements would be made by
the foreman with reference to the work.
Policemen on Watch.
All the time the men were working
along the line two policemen stood near
by looking on. They had instructions to
protect the franchise rights granted by
the city to the seaboard Air Line and
not allow the Belt Line to cross
Thirty-second street and build along Ave-
nue. A. These men are placed by order
of Mayor Drennen, and will be kept there
as long as 1t is necessary to protect the
citys interests.
The Board of Revenue granted the Pc
ton of the Birmingham and Atlanta Air
franchise rights along the line they
wish to use In entering the city. These
franchises were granted at special meet
ing of the board at which President A. ].
