HOLD UP
WAS SIMPLY
BIG FAKE

Theresa Mullgan's thrilling story OF be-
ing held up at the point OF pistol when
on Brook street at 1880 o'clock Friday
night, has been stripped OF all its thrills
and Theresa stands in the light of one
who romances TO put It politely.
Theresa accosted Misses Hattie and
May Mcdonald OF 81 Benevolent street
shortly after IL 30 o'clock that night tell
ing them that she had Just been robbed
a. the corner OF Brook and George streets
by a man who put a pistol to her fore
head. They were not a little surprised.
for they had just passed that spot and
had seen no man.
She said that she resided on Smithfield
avenue and as she was I'm urgent distress
they put her on a Brook street car bound
for Market square, giving her 10 cents for
fares.
She had averred that she came from
East Providence. via Red bridge. and had
been let off a car at Brook street, the con-
ductor telling her that his car did not
go to Market square.
Capt Murray Investigated this story
Saturday night and Sunday.
He learned that no person answering
the girls description rode over from East
Providence on the Red bridge car due at
that hour; that there Is no family OF the
name Of Mullgan residing on Smithheld
avenue: that the girl told the conductor
of the Brook street car when questioned
as TO her being out so late at night and
alone, that she had been called to see a
sick aunt, neglecting 10 say anything
about a hold-up or pistol; that she was
given a transfer for the Branch avenue

TAFT AT ALBANY.
Secretary of War Denies Parker's
 Charge of Extravagmnce.


 ALBANY. N. Y., Nov. 3. 3.-Secretary of War William H. Taft was the prin- cipal speaker last night at the largest Republican mass meeting held here since the opening of the campaign. Be fore an audience that crowded the lar gest hall in the city he spoke for an hour and three-quarters in defense of the Republican federal administration and the conduct of affairs in the Phil ippines.
 In replying to Judge Parker's charges of administrative extravaganza he took up each item of the national appropria- ton, dwelling particularly upon the ap- propriations for river and harbor inn provements and coast fortifications. He answered MT. Olney's assertion that the Roosevelt administration had been one of "swagger and blood" by calling his hearers attention to the defense less condition, the country would have been in had MT. Olney's action in the Venezuela matter resulted in war, as, he claimed, it nearly did result.

 Nothing" said Benton, except that he was at the stone house, in trouble with some of our brigade the first time I saw him-seemed to be well known to Dr., Chiffon and other Virginians. and later was with the Sixth Wiscon- sin the afternoon they captured Mai Lounsberry."
 "But-how about papers-informa- tion-concerning our forces that he re- ceived that night? You were captured while grappling with the cavalry of ficer who brought them.''
 s'I?' cried Benton. Good heavens,' And then stood dumb, for all on a sudden 1t flashed over him. Rosaliel Rosalie, who had so inexplicably donned Ladue's uniform, ventured down through the darkness to the pike, seeking some one at the stone house. Rosalie, who had refused to tell what influence prompted that ap- parently reckless escapade! Papers? Information. concerning our move ments? Why what sense was there in her taking all that risk when at that very moment our pickets were fallins back before Stuart's triumphant ad- vance-when all but a few of tho guard had already disappeared from the Henry place-when by midnight or at the latest at dawn she was almost sure to be again in touch with her own friends and kindred? All this and more flashed through his mind as he stood there in the dark little office, with his interrogator impatiently fac Ing him, and two other officials look ing up at him from paper-littered table, much impressed, evidently, by the significance of his silence and em- barrassment.
 Yes" sharply repeated the first speaker, papers and doubtless, valu- able information. You saw them pass to Jennings, as he calls himself, did you not?"
 T saw nothing of the kind!' an swered Benton, inexpressibly felieved that as yet, at least, he had had no oc- casion to speak of her. .'Indeed,'' he went on, eagerly, T was too busy try ing to get out of the scrape to think of Jennings at all. I made jump for my horse and was in hand-to- hand fight in two seconds. I never knew what become of Jennings.''
 You remember Sergt Miller, do you not?"
 T remember sergeant-an Indiana sergeant, and very keen one who was there, but feared he and his party were killed or captured"

Manager of Loring Hotel shot Dead
 In Dispute Over BiII.
 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-A quarrel over a receipt for the payment of a board bill resulted in the killing of Hayden Y. Loring, manager of the Loring ho- tel, near the exposition grounds, by Norman M. Vaughan, manager of the EIks Publishing company. Vaughan fired several shots at Loring, all of which took effect, and he dropped dead. The shooting was witnessed by Waugh ans thirteen-year-old sister, Oma, who stood near Loring, it is said, beseech- ing her brother not to fire.
 Vaughan quietly left the hotel, board ed a street car and went downtown, where he was arrested on the street after having talked for an hour with several friends, to whom he did not mention the shooting. Vaughan re- fused to make statement other than to say he had fired in self defense.

 Cant ssy The secretary said no emphatically-not until matters were explained It was thought you might settle it one way or another before we questioned him.

 II cannot recall his ever doing so-- except casually. But Judge Armistead, not the general, was there at Gaines vile My belief is that Gen. Armistead was not near Manassas when I was taken. Miller must have misunder- stood.''
