NADAGE DoREE.
Why She Brought Suit Against MI
Loeb


Nadage Doree. the Jewess who has en-
tered suit in New York against William
Loeb. jr.. secretary to the President, for
$4,000 for false arrest in this city, spent
several days here last fall trying to see Mr..
Loeb. She had seen and talked with him In
Oyster Bay year ago this summer about
. book she was then printing on the situa-
ton In Russia. On coming here In the fall
she wanted to see Mr.. Loeb again, ostensi.
bly, to secure some sort of an Endorsement
OF her work. Mr.. Loeb declined to see her,
despite her efforts to get an audience with
him. She then had some circulars printed
describing the terrible conditions confront-
ing the Hebrews In Russia and went to st.
Johns Church, which Mrs. Roosevelt at
tends, for the purpose Of distributing them
as the congregation went away from sery-
ices. The circulars criticised President
Roosevelt for not doing something for the
Russian Jews.
Sergt. Harrison Of the White House police
squad was informed Of what Miss Doree
was doing and went across the square and
arrested her, although she was not formal
ly imprisoned, being released on her prom
ise to get out of the city and not modest
the people In the White House any more.
Miss Doree at the time declared that she
was not crazy, but was simply seeking to
help the cause of the Russian Jews She
had hoped. she said. to enlist the aid of the
White House In her efforts for the Jews,
but was disappointed in her treatment
there. The White House ofIicials took the
ground that Miss Doree was simply seeking
an advertisement from them Of her book.

NEW YORK, August l1.-This morning 8
stock market was dull and, generally
speaking. heavy. It's tendencies being
snainly attributable to the common expecta-

course of the business session apart from

The London stock market was generally

The bank statement showed q decrease
in surplus reserves of 1881 900. This drop

SEARCH FOR LOST CHILD.
Babe Stolen From Home In Richmand
Over Year Ago.

In his search for his four-year old daugh-
ter Ruth. Charles Lockhart, a weilthy busi-
ness man of Richmond, Va. has spent a
small fortune. and yet seems as far away
from success as ever. Mr.. Lockhart stopped
over in Washington last night while in
pursuit Of a new clue. Since the little girl
was abducted from his home in Richmond
about. a year ago Mr.. Lockhart has been
tireless in his search for her.
Ruth Lockhart was stolen from her home,
7Oo West Canal street, in Richmond. July
IS. 1905. Two months later her grief
stricken mother died OF a broken heart.
Mr.. Lockhart shortly afterward inherited
fortune from relative in Ptttsburg.
which has enabled him to spend his entire
time in hunting for his lost child. He Of
fers reward Of 5000 for her return.
He suspects a woman who formerly lived
In Washington. and who, he believes, was
jealous Of him and of his wife and took
the Child for that reason. Mr.. Lockhart
has sworn out a warrant for her, he states,
and he has traced her from one place to
another. He says that she has been pass
ing the child off as her own. and she has
been skipping from one place to another.
just ahead of him or his representative. so
that she has SO far eluded pursuit.

CLASH OVER BROKERS SEIZURE.
Court Asked to Compel Detective to
Deliver Books.

NEW YORK. August n.-Counsei for
John A. Boardman & Co. of Philadelphia
today summoned into court Detective Nc
Conviile. who raided four stock brokerage
establishments in this city yesterday, and
asked the magistrate to order McConvilIe
to surrender the books and papers seized
In the brokers offices. The magistrate re-
fused to grant the order. but told the de-
tectiye that the seizure Of the books seemed
hardly justified.
McConviile said he understood that a
more serious charge than failure to regis
ter copartnership was to be made against
Boardman & Co. Counsel for Boardman g.
Co. drew up a warrant for the arrest of
McConyille on the charge Of larceny. but
postponed the service OF 1t.
The lawyer notified Assistant District At
torney Marshall that Boardman & Co. were
doing business as usual today. and that If
they were Interrupted there would be
trouble.

BIG CROWD AT MARKET.
Estimated That 5000 People Were
Congregated Today.

The largest attendance Of farmers and
produce dealers at the Center market that
has been seen this year and for several years
past was recorded today. and It Is consdd-
cred doubtful by those familiar with condi-
tons there II there were ever more dealers
present on any morning. It is estimated
that there were fully five hundred teams
belonging to persons selling produce on the
market line this morning. and with the
teams of dealers inside the market. Of gro
Gerry men around the city and other delivery
wagons Of all sizes 1t Is believed that fully
1.b00 teams we're crowded In the space in
the section between B street, Louisiana ave-
nue.. nth and 10Th streets northwest. It Is
estimated that there were about 5000 people
in that small area-a small city in itself.
There was no confusion. Owing to the
work of Detective Watson and Sergt. Acton
the best OF order was maintained. 1t Is es-
sential that an open passageway should be
kept on all the streets. to give an outlet
In case of fire or any other emergency.
and to give free passageway for the teams
which are constantly moving to and fro,
and this Is only accomplished by constant
attention on the part of the representatives
of the police department there.
Along street and the intersecting streets
there are vegetables piled high. and yet
when all the teams disappear. late tonight.
not a scrap Of this will be left. Detective
Watson insists that there be thorough
cleaning I'D after each market day Of every
person who sells produce, and this rule Is
adhered to On the part Of the dealers.

Requests for Leaves Refused.

Lack Of officers in the navy is emphasized
Just now when applications are made for
leaves of absence for a short time during
the hot summer months Most Of these re-
quests have to be refused. as there are not
enough officers to go around Some Of the
ships are without their full quota and there
is a demand for officers to fill the details
ashore and in the various bureaus where
tired officers are on duty In different posi-
tons and are retained because active off,
GERS cannot be spared from other duty.
