PATHETIC END OF
GIRL 6 TRIP.

On Saturday Louis Brese of 1925
Steiner street and his wife prepared
to welcome to their home Breses sis
was coming on a visit here from her
home in Iowa. But the girl did not ar
rive Saturday. Nor did she put in an
appearance yesterday, although the
train on which Miss Lancaster trav-
eled reached the city on time Brese
grew apprehensive, as the traveller was
but 10 years of age and possessed of
more than usual beauty. Fearing that
the girl had been abducted on her
journey or drugged and led astray by
chance acquaintance on the train, he
reported the matter to the police and
learned that his apprehensions were
well grounded.
Miss Lancaster arrived in the city
Saturday, but during the long. monot-
onous days of steaming over dreary
desert she had fallen under the influ-
ence of a strange man. and when the
train reached this city was forced by
him to go to a transient rooming-
house on O'Farrell street, near Fill
more. There the couple stayed Satur-
day night. She left this place with
the man yesterday morning. and the
police are now searching the city to
find her.
The. authorities hope that in rescu-
ing the girl and arresting her COM
panion they may disclose the opera
tions of ring of Infamous creatures
who make a practice Of preying upon
young women travelling alone.
Brese was overcome with grief when
he learned the fate that had befallen
his wife's kinswoman. He spoke of
her pleasing qualities, her brightness,
and how he and his wife had looked
forward to the pleasure of having her
in their home. The need of a Gordon
of police to protect a defenseless girl
travelling alone had not been contem-
plated.

ence party convention reported to the
union that its efforts to confer with
the Independence League for the pur-
pose of forming a fusion on Congress
sional and legislative candidates had
been met with contempt. No conference
could be. arranged, he said, and the deal
with Tammany was being extended to
include Tammany candidates for the
Legislature
Realizing that labor had been thrown
overheard for Murphy. many men re-
pudiated Hearst in speeches. Practic-
ally no sentiment was expressed for

an irrevocable split between Mr.. Hearst
and union labor as represented in the
