either personally or by reputation by
the clerk, and these were at once
checked Off As much as could be re-
membered of the others by the hotel
employees was considered, and one by
one they also were checked off in the
process Of elimination.
In this way the list was reduced to
one name-that placed on the register
by man who had arrived during the
DAY. He carried a small VaiiSe and eK-
planned to the clerk that he was going
away the next morning early and
wished to be called. He paid for the
room in advance. When the beli-bOy
made the call at the hour designated
the room was vacant and the bed evil
IDENTIFY had not been slept in. No signifi-
canoe was attached to the fact as it
often happened that guests vacated
their rooms after leaving calls before
the calls were made. L requested the
privilege of cutting the signature in
question from the register.
This process asNTepeated at each
hotel from which a robbery had been
reported. I found in every case that a
room had been paid for in advance. a
call left. and the room vacated before
the call was made. In several instances
the name was signed in the same hand
writing and even the same initials. &c.
W. used, with different surnames. IN
two cases two men had arrived to-
gether and been assigned 70 the same
room. Such meager descriptions as I
could gather We're taken and they
tailed in several instances.
There was no longer any doubt in my
mind that all of the thefts had been
committed by the same crowd. But in
vain I searched the fremont house
register for a signature corresponding
in character to any of the suspected
signatures I had cut from the various
registers, and I came to the conclusion
thatthe thief in this case had Swallowed
Mills room without having taken a
room in the hotel This did not alter
my convictions. however, that the Ire
mont job had been done by one of the
crowd who had committed the theta
in the other hotels.
On the day following the robbery at
the fremont 1 had a long conversation
with Mills concerning the men who had
access to his rooms. Aside from a few
personal friends most of his callers had
been local jewelers.. who had come to
his rooms to look at his samples and
buy goods. He named these one by one
Did you have any callers who did
not buy jewelry2" / asked.
Mills ran over the fist and then said.
Yes, one man came here two o..
three times and looked through my
samples but bought nothing"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-08-27

Who was hep / asked.
Mills named a JeWeler and auctiOneer
who kept a store in Clark street south
of the Kohl & Middleton museum.
Was there anything unusual i'm his
actions -
Nothing whatever, except that re-
call the fact of his having made the i'm
preston on me that he had no inten-
ton of buying when he came here.
wasted no time OH him on that ac-
count"
] made mental note of the incident
and, so far as 1 had time. kept an eye
on the Clark street store. In passing
1t one day my attention was attracted
to man coming out of it, I thought
he acted iii a furtive manner. Then
dismissed the thought as a bit of inn
agination arising from my suspicious
of the owner Of the store, but I after
ward found that my first intuition had
been correct.
For some time previous to the events
here narrated there had been living in
the rear of lag South Halsted street a
family named Ewing. John. the head
of the family, had married widow with
one daughter, and these three composed
the FAMILY. Ewing was a thief, who
had finished a term in the Minnesota
penitentiary. and had settled in Chi
cago with his family. He did not ply
his trade here. but. after turning a
trick outside of the city. would return
into the country. His cottage was a
rendezvous for thieves of the better
class. I knew aim and his wife. The
latter. although fully familiar with the
manner of life led by her husband and
his associates and entirely true to his
interests, was anxious to keep a home
where he would be free from molesta-
ton by the police and could live life
of apparent responsibility at intervals
at least.
/ knew the woman's ambition in this
particular and believed il could be
turned to good account. Arranging an
interview with Mrs. Ewing. I ques-
toned her concerning the movements
of certain thieves, and learned from
her that Thomas White and John Hor-
ton, two of the most dangerous hotel
thieves in the country had been calling
on her husband. Without telling her
why / wanted them, / asked her to Sc
cure for me the natural signatures OF
White and Horton. and this she PROM
tsed TO do. it being understood that they
were to be obtained in way that would
arouse no suspicion on the part of
either. These signatures I soon had IN
my possession. Comparison with those
l had cut from the different hotel
registers served 10 show heNopdgfieubt

FAITHFUL DOGS
DIE FOR MASTER

NEW YORK, May Sin a swamp
near Mt. Holly. N. j.. two dead dogs
have been found where they persisted
from starvation while keeping vigil
over their master who had suddenly
lost his mind and wandered from home.
The man, Amos Willett, was still
alive but in the last stages OF exhaus-
ton from hunger and thirst. His con-
dition was such that his captors mar
yelled that he should have outlived his
devoted animals.
Willett suddenly lost his mind sew
eral days ago. Almost as soon al the
fact became known. he disappeared
with the two dogs, his tnseparable
companions. The case was reported to
the authorities and constables were az
signed to the task Of finding OF Will
lett.
They searched tho entire country side
without success. but on entering the
swamp found Willett curled up in the
mud. His clothing was torn to shreds
and he was unconscious from exhaus-
ton. Beside him were stretched the
carcasses Of the faithful dogs.

RACE BETWEE
SEVEN BATTLESH1PS

NEW YORK, May 8-News OF an
eight-hour ocean race in when seven
big United States battleships partici-
pated was brought here today by the
battleship Alabama, which arrived IN
command of Rear Admiral Charles H.
Davis and will go to the navy yard to
be overhauled because of the poor
showing which she made in the con-
test.
The ships were coming up the coast
last Saturday and were about 200 miles
south Of Cape Henry when the word
was given for a speed test. For two
hours it was nip and tuck. there being
scarcely a change in the relative posi-
tions Of the participants. BY that time
excitement was running high on board
the battleships, and the speed contest
had developed into a race. Finally
the Massachusetts and the ALBANIA be-
gan to fall behind and when the sig
nal ending the race was flashed both
these ships were TAR in the rear. The
Alabama, which has the record Of be-
ing one Of the fastest battleships In
the navy, was fully mile and a hal1
behind the Massachusetts.
At the finish the battleshfp Missouri,
which had drawn away from the others
was only 1917 miles south of Cape Hen
ry, having covered 1861 miles In the
eight hours.
During the last six hours Of the race
the battleships were under forced
draught and all suffered more or less
from the strain to which they were
subjected. With the exception Of the
Alabama, all the vessels went to
Hampton Roads.

ITALIANS SWIM :
INTO AMERICA

NEW YORK. May 8.-As the Italian
Liner Citta Di Napoli. from the Medit-
erranean was about to be locked at the
Italian piers at the foot of Thirty
fourth sereet, in the North river, two
young men leaped to the port railing
Of the liner and jumped into the wa
ter. Both were expert swimmers, and
in less than ten minutes they had
reached the shore. Scrambling to the
street they quickly disappeared. Both
were stowaways and unless they are
captured the government will impose a
fine of $1,000 on the line for permitting
their escape.
According to 8 third stowaway the
Italians had the reputation OF being the
most expert swimmers and divers in
Naples. For long time the two boys,
with the third stowaway, who did not
escape had read OF the wonders Of
America and on April n they MANAGED
to sneak aboard the liner unnoticed.
After passing Gibraltar they boldly
walked out on deck and announced
their presence.
All three Immediately were put to
work In the stoke hole. When the liner
left quarantine, the boys managed to
get on deck and again mingling with
the steerage passengers. awaited the
first favorable opportunity to jump

WILL. NOT CLIP
THE CZAR'S WINGS

ST. PETERSBURG, May ., 1907 a.
ma report defining the formal
character Of the new branch of the
government to be created in accordance
with the imperial rescript of March
3, is current in official circles here,
according to which the fruits Of the
Bouligan commission have taken the
form Of a Recommendation for tie
creating Of "zemsky SOVIET" or
through the zemstvos, to serve as q
connecting link between the emperor
and the people.
Emperor Nicholas is said to have &C.
cepted the report Of the commission
and the date Of it's proclamation has
been tentatively fixed for May IS.
The main features Of the report in
the scheme are an organization COM
prising from 500 to $50 members elect
ed by the zemstvos. the Zemstvo sys-
tenn being extended to all parts of the
empire, while the autocratic power Of
the emperor will remain undiminished,
visory with the right of interpellating
the ministers and discussing the bud
get when formulated. The ministers,
however, continue to be responsible
only to the emperor. Elections will be
held during the summer in order that
the first session of the new assembly
may be open ON November Is.
Though such zemsky sovyet win
fail to satisfy the liberals, who are
calling for full plunge into con-
