large hands and feet were but right on
a body that measured six feet -four
inches. His was sad and thoughtful

when alone or absorbed in thought the
face should take on deep lines, the eyes
appear as If seeing something beyond

all would be changed. The deep eyes

heard him could truly say that he was
other than a handsome man.
1t has been the fashion, too, to say
that he was slovenly and careless in
his dress This also is a mistake His
clothes could not fit smoothly on his
gaunt and bony frame. He was no

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-That automo-

at the Hudson theater, got unruly last
night and nearly landed in the orcheS-

their stations and creating alarm anu
amusement in the audience according 10
their proximity to the machine.
The curtain had fallen on the first act
and Robert Lorraine was guiding the
car, which runs by electricity, into posi-
ton on the stage for the opening of the
second act when something happened
and the machine made dash for the
footlights. Mr.. Lorraine moved lever
and the thing started for Forty-fifth
street.
Then it cut a Zigzag course across
the stage and Mr.. Lorraine jumped out.
Then it crowded against the curtain,
bowling it out over the footlights and
squeezing through the gap came to rest
with a front wheel hanging menacingly
over the bass drum mans head. The
musician deserted and started up the
aisle on the run. Others of the players
followed and those in the front rows or
the orchestra were alarmed, while
others who were out of range laughed
heartily as the machine came to rest

Presently the stage hands in shirt
sleeves surrounded the bucking auto

Special to The Herald.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 4.-The
anti-free pass order issued by the
Pennsy and other railroads operating
in this state may deprive Gov. Penny
packer of the pleasure of making his
promised speech at the annual banquet
of the Pennsylvania Editorial associa-
ton in this city on January 15-16.
Some of the editors who think more
of a few dollars worth of transporta-
ton than they do of the association,
have sent word to the committee that
they will not be present if they have to
pay their fare.
The committee, of which Nevin M.
Pomeroy of Chambersburg, the COVER
nors superintendent of public printing,
is the chairman, will go ahead with the
arrangements for the banquet if the ac-
/ ceptances indicate there will be small
attendance.
A meeting of the committee will prob
ably be held when Pomeroy comes here
on Friday to canvass the situation, and
decide whether or not to call off the
banquet. Enough editors are expected
to come here, even if they should have
to pay their fare, to hold the annual
meeting and elect officers.
1t is apparently up to the railroads to
decide whether or not the governor
shall be given an opportunity to make
| the speech. If the usual courtesies in
! the form of free transportation are fur
niShed members of the association
enough "moulders of public opinion
who worship the pass will come mere to
| justify the committee in going ahead
with the arrangements for the banquet.
| But if the railroads cut off the passes,
as they must do, if they wish to be con-
sistent, there will be no banquet and no
| Pennypacker speech.

a charge of having extorted check

charges against the man that of bigamy
may be added.

Thompson is now married TO six
women, none of whom he has divorced.
His wives are said to live in various
large cities between here and Boston,
aud attorneys for Mrs. Thompson will
go east to investigate.
Yesterday Mrs. Thompson was in

in Venice several days ago on q charge

brought them along with her. She
placed about $1,000 worth of gems in a
small chamois bag and gave them to
him for safe keeping.
Then they started to take a trip up
the Angels flight but as the car started
Thompson left it and his wife, watch
ing from the door, was helpless as the
car moved skyward and her husband
disappeared from view.
AS soon as the woman could collect
her wits she reported her loss and the
escape of the fugitive to Sheriff White.
The sheriff took long chance and
made a shrewd guess as to the destna- :
tion of Thompson, and telegraphed
Deputy Frank Cochran. who was going
to Folsom with prisoners, to search
the car at Calientes.
The deputy did so and found Thomp-
son in one of the berths. He arrested
the fugitive and placed him i'll charge
of the sheriff at Bakersfield.
