Magician Accused of Buncoinu
Young Women.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
MADISON, Wis, May 5.-For bun
Going young women under the guise
of reading their futures from their
palms, Prince Nathoo a diminutive
Hindoo magician, was arrested in a
police raid of his apartments today,
together with the daughter of a St.
Paul railroad engineer. The woman
was about to turn over to the Oriental
juggler $500 which she had received as
a legacy.
Chief of Police Baker, investigating
the doings of Nathoo, finds that he has
had under his influence numerous uni
Versity girls and the daughters of
some of the first families of the state.
He represented that he was to form
a grand opera company and that the
st. Paul girl was to be the leading lady.
Her $3.50 was to go for fine costumes.
Another young girl planned to give him
$4,000 within week, to assure her sue
cess as an actress.
The officers profess to have evidence
of serious crimes against the magician,
although some charges will hardly be
pressed for fear of injuring the names
of innocent girls who fell under his in
huences. He has been at Madison four
months and has made a great deal of
money here.

Of LAND FRAUDS
Unexpected Conclusion of the
Trials in Oregon, Sentences
Being Pronounced.


PORTLAND, Or, May 5.-The cases
of Charles Cunningham, an Eastern
Oregon sheep king; Glen H. v. Salong,
Shelby Jones and Dallas O'Hara,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the United States government of pub
lie lands, were brought to an abrupt
and unexpected conclusion by pleas of
guilty being made when these defend
ants were arraigned in the United
States court today. Mark Shackleford
was the only one to plead not guilty,
and his trial begun today. Kate James
was discharged for want Of probable
cause. Cunningham, as the ringleader,
was Immediately sentenced to- pay a
fine of $4,000. The others, being con-
sidered only tools of Cunningham, were
let off with a fine of 500 in each case.
None was sentenced to a term. of i'm
prisonment.
The convictions are the direct out
growth Of the trial of "A. S. Thomson,
receiver of the La Grange (Or) land
office, last fall. During his trial the
defendants in the present case, who
were witnesses in the Thomson case,
made admissions while on the stand
which placed Inspector A. r. Greene,
Of the interior department, in possess
sion of the evidence necessary to con-
vict. A few weeks subsequent to the
Thomson trial Cunningham and the
others were arrested.

STEAL FROM CO-EOS
Female Detective Is Needed at
ChadbOurne Hall,

Special to The Globe.
MADISON, Wis, May 5.-President
c. r. Van Hise, Dean Abby Shaw May
hew and Matron Belle Grove are nego-
tiating in Chicago and st. Paul for a
female detective to come to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin to ferret out the
mystery of the disappearance of money
and other valuables from Chadbourne
hall, the women's dormitory of the uni
Versity. Thefts have occurred so reg
ularly and seemingly of larger value
with each recurrence, that the authori-
ties are aroused.
The thieving at Chadbourne hall is
not Of the kind known as the souvenir
mania, but 1t seems that some student
inmate of the dornfitory is as clever
and hardened In crime as the fine op-
portunity there allows. Jewelry, valu-
able books, rare decorative fabrics and
ornaments, costly bric-a- brac and
small rare pieces of individual proper
ty have disappeared during the present
school year, but most of all money ap-
pears to be desired by the thief or
thieves. Money belonging to classes
or committees and intrusted to the
keeping of one of the co-eds has been
stolen on several occasions, the
amounts aggregating some $500.
