MRS. BURNS APPEARS.
Identified Her Property and Said
She Had Not sDfsappeared."

she Had Not Disappeared"
Cincinnati, April AIRS. Hattie
Louise Burns is here from New York
to identify jewelry found in the pos
session of James Taylor, colored, who
admits having stolen the jewelry from
a hotel at Palm Beach, Fla. She is
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dabb of New York.
Mrs. Burns is surprised at the story
that she left a Chicago hotel mystic
riously two years ago and had since
been missing. She says she did not
disappear, but simply went to New
York She has been in Chicago six
times since then, three times in at
tendance at weddings. She says at the
Palm Beach robbery Mrs, Dabb lost
three times as much jewelry as she
did.
Taylor was brought into the pres
ence of the two women whose jewelry
he is charged with stealing and was
fully identified by both. The identiti-
cation of the jewelry was made COM
plete by the production by Mrs. Burns
of a diamond that was missing from
one piece when it was stolen.
Taylor confessed and said he and a
confederate whom he refused to name
took the jewelry and divided it be-
tween them. Mrs. Burns, when asked
to identify herself, said she was Mrs.
John C. Burns and that the name in
scribed on the Daughters of the Rev
olution" badge was her name.
1t is now said that instead of taking
Taylor back to Florida for trial he will
be tried here for bringing stolen goods
into the state.

Miss Barney. Her mother, Mrs. Bar

leader. is acting as stage manager
and though she has been in social re-
tirement for several years owing to
the death of her husband, Mrs. Bar

rehearsing with her characteristic zeal
The dances promise to be the future of
the entertainment for Mrs. Barney is
giving the society girls of Washington
the benefit of her personal instruction.
She is the personification of grace and
has learned and made a study of the
dances peculiar to the continental and
oriental countries.
Mrs. Barney is a striking figure. At
rehearsals she forgets her badge of
mourning and frequently mounts the
boards for a personal illustration of a
dangerous scarf dance. At such times
the long veil floats behind Mrs. Barney
like a pennant of mysticism and the
effect is somewhat startling as she
glides about the stage with lifted
skirts.
The society girls declare that while
Mrs. Barney is fascinating in anything
she attempts, she is at her best when
in the abandonment of her enthusiasm,
she dances in her long crepe veil.
