ST. LOUIS, Aug 1O.-Harry Jones, a

day for grand larceny on complaint of
August Kleinert, a Worlds Fair visit
or from California.
Kleinert, his wife and daughter, ar
rived here July 80. At the Union Sta
ton he was surrounded by hotel run
ners, cab drivers and baggage men.
After escaping from the crowd he
missed his three return tickets to San
Francisco.
Kleinert not only reported his loss
to the police, but cleverly played de-
tective for himself, daily visiting the
ticket brokers offices and inquiring for
tickets TO San Francisco by the route
designated in the transportation he had
lost.
A ticket broker named Marmaduke
yesterday offered to sell Kleinert three
tickets bearing the names of himself,
wife and daughter. Kleinert reported
the fact to the police, who seized the
tickets, which they learned had been
sold TO the broker by Jones.

had been so heavy and continuous that
few local residents ventured forth.
It was at first decided to hold the
ceremonies on the Sycamore, owing to
the storm, but the protest Of those who
wanted Judge Parker notified at his
own house was so vigorous that at the
last moment the little platform erected
on the Parker lawn was hastily deco
rated with flags and the ceremonies
were held there, according to the orig
