"LORD ASHBURTON"
AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Man Who Duped San Fran
ciscans Years Ago Ar
rested in Boston.

BOSTON, April 6.-Charles f. Richards,
also known as Lord Ashburton,'' who,
the police say, has served sentences in
several prisons in England and America
for extensive swindling, was arrested
here last night on suspicion of having
passed worthless checks. The man was
located at one of the large hotels and
was taken into custody while dining with
several friends. He at first denied that
he was Richards, but later admitted 1t.
Richards is said to have operated ex-
tensively in this country many years ago,
and mora recently to have been in Eng
land. When a young man he was en-
ployed as a clerk in the Bank of England
and later appeared in New York with
considerable money. In Troy and other
places he was charged with many forger-
les sw;ndles and counterfeiting and in
most Instances he evaded arrest. AT the
time John L. Sullivan was in the ring
Richards posed as a hacker of the former
champion and is alleged to have swindled
many we'll known sports.
The police say that in 1878 Richards,
under the name of Lord Ashburton, was
accorded a public reception in San Fran
cisco and that after his departure spuri-
Gus notes and letters or credit with a
total face value of s250,o0O were found to
be in circulation Two years later he
was arrested in San Francisco for swim
ding.
Lord Ashburton" was released today,
as no one appeared to prosecute him.

scoTr's EMULSION.
MOTHER
AND CHILD.

Let the mother take
SCOTS Emulsion for the
two; it never fails to
benefit them both. One
can eat for two, but nour-
ishing two is a different
thing. 1t calls for a de-
gree of internal strength
that the average woman
lacks. People of luxury
are not very strong by
habit; overworked people
are weak in some func-
tons from exhaustion or
their surroundings. SCOTS
Emulsion can be depend
ed upon to overcome such
conditions. 1t is a won
derful food for a mother

Los ANGELES, April 6.--Hopeless in
sanity and probably total blindness are
the penalties jules Schlonkey seems des-
tined to pay for having attempted to end
his life with a revolver in Eastlake Park
The bullet, which entered just above the
right temple, is buried behind the right
eye, and is in such position as to make
its removal almost impossible. This, say
doctors, undoubtedly will make Schlonkey
raving maniac, as well as destroy his
sight. Schlonkey, who was a cook, be-
came desperate over financial Difficult
