RICH MINE OWNER
ARRESTED
NEW YORK POLICE ARREST LOS
ANGELES MAN FOR INT0XIcA.
TIoN--IS LATER RELEASED, AND
AGAIN ARRESTED.

NEW YORK. July ls.--A man repre-.
senting himself to be Roswell Sprague
Jones, a wealthy mine owner OF Los
Angeles, Cal, and descendant of an
old New York family, was released from
the work house on Blaekwells Island late
last night after serving two days on a
charge of intoxication. Friends say that
his arrest was due to a mistake and
that he should have gone to a hospital
instead OF to jail.
Jones is 55 years old. He has q gray
moustache and is OF distinguished APP
pearance. He was fined $40 by Magis-
trate Barlow in jefferson Market police
court last Saturday and on Monday was
sent over to work out the fine.
Jones is said to have a wife and two
children in California and to own zinc
and lead mines in Colorado. He came
to New York last April and put up at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Last Friday night House Detective
John Mulholland of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel sent in q call for an ambulance.
intending to have Jones taken to o
hospital for treatment. A patrol wagon
drew up instead and Jones was carried
off to the tenderloin police station. On
Saturday morning he was arraigned with
several prisoners charged with intoxica-
tion and discharged. On Sunday morn
ing he was again a prisoner. Policeman
Foley recognized him as being in court
the day previous and so informed the
court. The $40 fine followed.
The defendant gave his name as Joseph
Jones and refused to give any informa-
tion about himself. On Saturday inquiry
was made for him at Bellevue Hospital
by friends. He was not there and as
nothing was known about him, an inyes-
tigation was begun. Jones has large
bank account with the Farmers Loan &
Trust Company and the bank also began
an investigation to find out where he had
landed The records of the Jefferson
Market prison show the committal of
John Jones. Mulholland, acting on this
went over to the island last |
night, found Jones and paid the balance
Of his fine, 81.
Jones is now in private hospital. He |
s weak and nervous. He is reported to
be grandson of Roswell Sprague, who
made fortune in the cotton business
before the Civil War broke out and then
-etired and lived in Washington square.
When asked why he preferred to do
;en days rather than send word to his
riends he said:
II did ask one Of the officials to send
ny check to my bank. as was out of
money, but I guess he forgot it."

dicating that the sport has caught on
with the same fever as it did in Rich
mond and other Indiana cities two
years ago. A dispatch from Canton
Ohio says:
The last seven days have witness

star polo players in the cities COM
prising the Interstate league. In
cluded were Ado Mansfield, center for
New Castle; Bert Mallory, goal tend
for Sharon, and 'Ikey" Houghton,
rush of the same team.
Mansfield is conceded to be one
of the best men in the business at
center, some critics even going SO
far as to state that he is equal to
Fred Jean, who has always been con
sidered in class by himself at cen
ter. However, Mansfield is a better
man at getting" Eddie Higgins. the
fastest rush in the business, than
Jean or any other man.
THE acquisition of Ado Mansfield
at center by Manager Marquis was
a ten strike, and the New Castle
team has been sailing on easy waters
ever since. Ado is the missing link
in that he fills the one weak spot in
the New Castle lineup. From now on
the Noblemen should be heard from.
'Ikey" Houghton is new to most
fans in the Interstate. He played
with Cleveland for short time last
season. Ikey' is the only Hebrew
playing polo, and when going right is
all to the good.

The Season of MYSTERIES.

About this season of the year,
When days are cold and nights are dreay
A stir through all the household creeps
As soft IS dreams to him who sleeps.
Now MolIie sits up late at night
And keeps her bedroom door shut tight:
She has an absentminded air
That makes her little brother stare.
And mother, too. seems bothered some
BY all the stir and bob and hum
That sets the house in disarray
And gathers strength day after day.
About this season of the year
A lot of things seem very queer.
But all the shadows will skiddoo
When Santa Claus has come to you.
