.24.-Miss Eleanor Wood of 1856 Belle
vue avenue is recovering at her home
from the effects of an experience
which has stirred hat city to anger
and which the police are investigating
with stern purpose.
She responded early last week to an
advertisement Offering "a good paying
position and requiring no previous eX-
p~erience." On Wednesday a touring
automobile with red leather upholstery
drew up in front of her home and a,
tall, well built man, having a pros
porous appearance, dressed in dark
clothes and wearing a brown touring.
cap, stepped out Of it and inquired for
Miss Eleanor Wood, stating that he
had received her application for the
advertised position and desired to en-
gage her.
He represented himself as the-senior'
member of a firm of New York brokers
and made inquiries concerning her
capability to take charge of an uptown
office they were about to open in New
York. ~rf3teA}@s
He called again with his automobile,
accompanied by his chauffeur, on
Thursday and informed Miss Wood
that he had decided to engage her, but
J added thBf she would be required to
give b0ndrfof, $50, 900. Miss Wood did
not know of any friend who could
furnish it.
1 bWshhs Miss Wood was at the home
of Il neighbor she was called to the
telephone by the stranger. His auto
mobile had broken down in the bust
ness center of Montclair and he was
MnalfIes to proceed further, he said.
He made an appointment to meet him
at the Montclair Savings bank, where
she could, psg him 800 for the bond,
Miss Wood fastened home and Undue

/ ey, which he did by writing out an
order for 500 on the Montclair Saw
ings bank. She had this cashed II
handed the money to the alleged
appointment.
NIisst Wood returned to her Home
Sunday morning, but was so prostrat-
ed as to be unable to give a coherent
aceoun of herself or tell where she
had been since her disappearance on
Thursday afternoon. After she paid
over her money to the alleged broker
he had invited her to ride with him
over to East Orange, where the surety
bond was to be procured. What be-
came of her after that cannot be ascer-
tanned. Miss Wood is too i'll to speak
Of her experience, and no one seems
to know how she reached home again.
1t is thought that choral or some sim

TAFT SAYS He
HAS A SCHEME
American ENJOYS Gather Insur-
gents Chiefs in Confab All
Await Peace Plans.

HAVANA, Sept. 24.-Secretary Taft
, mas a plan for saving the sovereignty
OF the Cuban republic. He says he has
a tangible scheme, but will not disclose
ITS exact character. 1t is not Il victory
Tor either political party, but eontem-
! plates radical concessions by both.
Secretary Taft and Acting Secretary
or State Bacon had a conference with
upward OF a score of leaders of the
revolution. and it was announced that
the insurgent chiefs had made certain
concessions for peace.
1t is said here that the American
plans for peace will include tire reten-
ton of President Palma in office, but
will provide for the election of a new
construction of the cabinet. Pending a
settlement of the insurrection the
| American warships in the harbor are
| ready to land men. i'll addition to those
now on shore, up to the number of
1000 If necessary to protect American
lives and property.
Generals Menocal and Gramonte CALI
ed to congratulate Messrs. Taft and
Bacon on their success in bringing the
Moderate and the Liberal leaders 10 Il
realization Of the necessity of each
making some concessions.
The veterans evidenced sympathy
with many of the principles for which
the insurgents took up arms. They
suggested that the first basis of the
negotiations should be for the revision
of the Cuban constitution, alleging that
it confers too much power and too lit
tie responsibility upon the members of
the cabinet. ''Cubans are too hot
-blooded to be given unlimited powers"
said General Menocal.
The nearest insurgent camp, near La
Lisa, just west of Marianao, has been
visited by great crowds of Havanese.
Encouraged by the reports that peace
was imminent the people for the first
time dared to crafty their curiosity
and to show their great sympathy with
the revolutionary cause.
, All classes are now waiting for the
conditions under which tranquility will
be restored in Cuba, and keen disap-
pointment is expressed on every side
because of the likelihood of peace be-
ing brought about without armed
American Intervention.
b That the differences of the opposing
factions could be r%econciled was not
believed to be possible until now, when.
it was announced that the Liberals
and the insurgents had agreed to a
peace conference with the American
mediators.s ts1Fss lsS a.
1t is evident that the business inter
ests of the island have no confidence
