Under the law that a warrant must be made with in sixty days after the commission of the crime, Tom was released by the mayor.

Russian Red Cross Fete.

The fete for the benefit of the Russian
Red Cross, which was postponed on ac-
count of bad weather, was held at the
Russian Embassy in Washington yester-
day afternoon and evening, and was at
tended by the entire fashionable world
Through Madam Boukatoff, wife Of the
Russian naval attache, the Czarina
of Russia sent a handsome bookmark,
painted by herself, and accompanied by
an autograph letter. This treasure was
sold at auction and was said to have been
purchased by a Russian sympathizer,
who gave So, 600 for the souvenir. His
identity remains hidden, as the book
mark was bought through an agent. The
auction proved very popular, and a group
of women remained for hours without
their dinner, bidding in Paris hats and
feminine follies at four and five times
their market price. Miss Alice Roose-
welt purchased a pretty neck piece Of
tulle. and bid for herself in a character
istic manner. The fund secured BY this
fete has now reached about S2l, 600 and
the Countess Marguerite Cassini, who
planned and managed the affair, is conf
dent of getting s25, 900 when all the re-
turns are in.
