RELINQUISHES CLAIM
TO LARGE ESTATE
Arrests in Connection With Actress
Laura Biggar Attempt to Get
the Bennett Property.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. 26-The
suit of Actress Laura Biggar to estab-
lish her claim to the $2,000,000 estate
of the late Henry M. Bennett, the
PittSburg millionaire, had a sensa-
tional finish today when Miss Biggars
counsel announced that his client had
decided to forego all claims to the es-
tate except the 60 per cent interest
she was given under the terms of Ben
nett's will.
1t looked like termination of pro-
ceedings there, but the sensation
which the lawyers representing the
other heirs had promised came like
thunderbolt. A representative of Peter
j. McNulty, one of the heirs, arose and
said to the court:
Your honor, there are warrants now
out for Laura Biggar, Samuel Stanton
and DR.. G. G. Henricks, charging them
with conspiracy. Miss Biggar is not
here, but the other two are, and the
warrants will be served at once. I
make<this announcement that you may
fix bail"
Stanton and Henricks were immedi-
ately arrested and bail fixed at S.
Stanton formerly was a justice of
the peace at Hoboken. At a former
hearing on the claims of Miss Biggar
to Benefits entire estate, the attor-
neys for the actress put in a claim
that shortly before Benefits death
she had been married to the million
aire in Hoboken and that posthum-
Gus child had been born.

PRETTY CHICAGO
GIRL MISSING
She Subscribed to Fearful Oath as
Member of the Mystic Order of
the Sacred Twelve.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept 26.-Deep in the
mysteries Of the Mystic Order of the
Sacred Twelve, an organization strong
in Chicago but Of which few Chica-
goans know, is thought to lie the only
information concerning the sudden dis
appearance Of June 10 Of pretty Rose
c. Mahon.
On that date the girl, who is nineteen
years old and pretty, disappeared from
the home of her aunt, Mrs. Matilda
Smaller. Matt Mahon, aged twenty
two years and first cousin Of Miss
Mahon, also disappeared the same day.
After three months of futile search for
them, members of their families today
appealed to the police for assistance In
locating them. When she joined the
order she took an oath, among other
things, swearing as follows:
81 shall ever hold sacred the secret
language and all knowledge impaired
to me and I hereby pledge myself new
er, under any circumstance, to divulge,
make known or transfer to another in
any manner whatsoever such language
and knowledge as aforesaid"
asked for information concerning her.

rHE-eHosT WILL NOT VANISH


bishop is the establishment at Manila
of two seninaries to educate the native
clergy which are destined ultimately to
replace the foreigners. These semina-
ries will be entrusted to religious or
der, which has not hitherto been rep
resented in the archipelago. A portion
of the students of the seminaries will
be sent to Rome to complete their edu-
cation either at the. North American or
South American colleges or in a special
Filipino college If it is found practi-
cable to establish the latter.
The questions regarding the friars, it
is suggested, may be solved without re-
course to the recall of the friars by
Opening the doors in the Philippines
to all the clergy OF all the religious or
ders, without distraction of nationality,
thus quickly shadowing the few
hundreds of Spanish friars remaining
there"
The. reorganization Of the church in
the Philippines on new basis will be
carried out with funds from the sale
of the agricultural lands belonging to
the friars and from the indemnity
which the United States will pay for
war damages.

weeks Of his life while in the United

81 have come to Paris to rest.
used to come here to see life, but now
my standards are all changed. Chi
cago and New York are the swiftest
places to be met in our whole world.
But American life is calculated to ruin
inevitably the nervous system, even Of
those who are accustomed to it's un-
reasoning fever. This is true of soci-
ETY. as we'll as of business.
Though 1T is ungrateful in me to
criticise my hoStesses at Newport, who
are among the most graceful and court
ly women to be met in any country,
nevertheless, it is impossible to believe
that they enjoy the social life which
they have created. 1t is business with
them rather than amusement. While
their husbands struggle for the ascen-
dency in Wall street, the wives fight
another grim battle in Newport. Many
distinguished strangers while visiting
there must feel that they are not feted
and entertained for themselves, but
because they furnish stakes in mer-
ciless game.
Newport in itself constitutes the
most fantastic little country ever saw.
There one walks on gold, breathes gold,
talks gold and thinks and dreams gold.
My visit to Newport will always rank
among the most interesting and bizarre
experiences Of my life.''

marked:
"I consider that America possesses
great musical artists. I met number

Italy and found them quite on a par
with native artists. am convinced
shall get fair treatment from the
American critics, judging by the re-
ception they have given to La Cava-

fairly treated by the Italian critics,

pendent, revolutionary ideas.
