home is in Washington, D. c., was
locked UP at police headquarters today
charged with passing two worthless
checks on the Waldorf-Astoria and
Fifth Avenue hotels. The police be-
lieve they have the man who has been
spending the last few weeks in the
West, cllartering special trains and

kins.
Word was sent from Chicago Tues

learned that someone had been travel
ing across the country telling railroad
officials he was the son of the United

Owen took a suite at the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday and Manager Boldt
cashed for him a check for $50 drawn
ed by S. B. Ell1ins
Il am Senator Ellxins' son and am
little short of ready cash." he said.
He went from there to the Fifth
Avenue hotel and engaged a room.
The clerk at that hotel cashed check
for $5 to self signed by S. B. Elkins
Jr., and drawn on the Elkins bank.
When arrested, Owen simply said
that he was we'll acquainted with Sen
ator Elkins and his son, and that he
would get out of the trouble all right.
He claims to have been lieutenant
in the United States navy, having
graduated from Annapolis in 1897. The

Deserted Des Moines Woman
Reaches the City After a
Twelve Days Tramp to Find

Her for Another.

she slept out Of doors, Mrs. M. r.
Tharpe reached ST. Paul yesterday aft
ernoon from Des Moines, Iowa, having

Of having suffered greatly during the
trip.
Hope of AnA;ng her husband, who,
she says, ran away with another wom-
an, and whom she believes to be living
in Minneapolis, is what inspired the
woman to undertake such a journey.
She formerly lived in Minneapolis and
she believed IL she could once more
reach that city she would soon be able
to locate the man who deserted her
for a woman who went to Des Moines
from Minneapolis three weeks ago.
According to the story told by the
woman at the police station yesterday
afternoon, where she was given tenn
porary relief and money sufficient to
take her to Minneapolis, her husband
was employed as a cook in Minneap-
oils restaurant. Last May he lost his
job and they removed to Des Moines,
where he secured employment in a
hotel.

Mrs. Tharpe believes her husband
eloped, came to Des Moines some three
weeks ago. and as soon as Mrs. Tharpe
learned of her presence in the Iowa
town, she became suspicious and COM
menced to watch her husband. The
woman had caused trouble in the
Tharpe family while they lived in Min
neapolis and the wife believed she had
followed Tharpe to Des Moines.
Il found them together one day soon
after she arrived there said Mrs.
Tharpe, "and when told my husband

house. have never seen him since
that time, which was more than two
weeks ago, but soon after his depar-

Des Moines that he had given up his
position at the hotel, telling his en-

neapolis, and at the Great Western
depot I found that he had purchased
two tickets for Minneapolis.
