LOS ANGELES, June 25.-For two days
the detectives have been looking for a
woman who by cleverly working on an
old game has feeced many stores in the
retail district out of hundreds of dol
lars and seemingly has made her escape
with all of her booty. The police esti-
mate that during the week in which she
operated the woman secured goods to the
value of nearly s10o0.
Because of the fact that her appear
ance was different at different places 1t
is believed she disguised herself at some
of the stores but the plan of her opera
tions was such as to make it certain that
only one woman was in the game. She
had supplied herself with the names of
some of the most prominent women in
Los Angeles, learned where they traded,
where they had accounts at the stores,
and by seeking clerks who did not know
these women the thief was able to sue
cessfully impersonate them.
She would order a big bill of goods and
direct that 1t be sent to an address which
she gave usually to another store or to
some parcel delivery depot. Then she
had only to call there and get her booty.
The fraud was discovered Friday, when
the woman entered the Boston store and
impersonated Mrs. ]. S. Chapman. wife
of well-known attorney She ordered
$3.50 worth of goods from clerk who
happened to know Mrs. Chapma by
sight. He became suspicious, telephoned
to Mrs. Cha pman aud thus discovered
the fraud. Meanwhile the woman es-

NEW YORK. June 25.-Streams Of i'm
migrants continue to pour into New York
through Ellis Islano. breaking all pre-
vious records. More than 1900 immi-
grants have landed since June /. and the
official estimate for the full month Is
s4.oS5, as against 51.731 in June of last
year. This is~e a larger proportion
ate increase than in May this year, when
e4.712 entered as against 70417 in May,
1904. The high-water mark in immigra-
ton is usually reached in May.
The census office approximates the to-
tai immigration for this fiscal year at
LOCI. .659, which indicates a record breaker,
the high-water mark being S57. .046 for the
year ending June 81. 1903. For the fiscal
year of 1904 the figures were 81, SO.
There has been little change in the
general character OF the immigrants in
the fiscal year about to close. Lithuan-
ians and Bohemians have been rushing
here, mainly to work in the coal mines;
Poles and Russians come and scatter
throughout the country, many settling
in sweatshops. Italians crowd in to do
manual labor Swedes and Greeks find
their way to the Northwest. There are
fewer Germans than in former years. and
Ireland seems to have been pretty thor
oughly drained.

RIGID CONTROL
OVER CHURCHES

PARIS. June 25.-With the settle
ment by the Chamber of Deputies OF
the controversial point in the church
and state separation bill relating TO the
formation of governing bodies destined
to take over control of the churches
the debate was practically concluded
The basis of reform, including the cut
ting of the bonds uniting the church
and state, the abolition of financial
provision for members of the clergy ex-
cept those entitled to pensions, the flu
ture disposal of religious edifices and
the constitution of parish societies,
aroused heated discussion.
The last named question attracted the
close attention of the opponents of the
bill, the desire being to prevent church
property becoming the object of fur
ther political strife 1t was finally de-
cided that the governing bodies shall
have power to make church collections
and charges for ceremonies and to form
reserve funds for the maintenance of
tho clergy and the edifices, but they
are not TO be allowed to receive lega-
cies.
The section permitting societies to
federatc into diocesan unions .eventu-
ally TO form a national federation
aroused a strong protest from the So
cialists and Free Thinkers. The chair
man Of the committee maintained that
the state did not desire to render the
church impotent to continue its work.
which would be the case unless mutual
intercourse and assistance were al
lowed. Finally, with a provso for Of
fetal supervision of the finances OF the
societies, in order to prevent the funds
being used for political propaganda,
the clause was accepted.
The only point left for discussion is
the regulation OF public worship, with
penalties for breaches of the law.
