CLOSE WATCH ON
MEYERS GIRL.

Edna Myers, sister of the three
brothers arrested as suspects in the
murder and robbery at the Japanese
bank continues TO become more ve-
hement in her protests at being held a
prisoner at the Central Emergency
Hospital Yesterday she was insistent
In her demands TO have Captain of De-
tectives Duke brought before her to
explain why she was being detained
and the nurses and other attaches at
the hospital had considerable difficulty
IN calming her.
Chief Dinan said last night that the
young woman would be held in custody
indefinitely as the police were satisfied
that she knew more about the recent
doings of her brothers than she has
thus far made known. Mrs. Wright,
of the Florence Crittenton Home, has
consented to look after the young wo-
mans 17-months- -old baby. The mother
will be removed from the hospital and
provided with other quarters by the
police while she is being detained.
It developed last evening that the
japanese Society has amassed new
evidence IN the murder and robberyi at
the Kimmon Ginko and provided the
police with new clews to the crime
to divulge, but they intimated that
arrests were expected to be made with
in the next day or two.
Mrs. John Maynard, the woman whose
testimony led the police TO arrest the
Meyers brothers and the ex-convict and
highwayman, Richard Doyle, as sus-
poets in the murder and robbery, con-
tinues to live with her husband in a
watchman's shanty at the foot Of Sew
enth street. She refuses to discuss the
charges made against her by the Meyers
girl, claiming that they are inspired by
malice.
Captain Duke said last night that his
investigation OF the Friede, Pfitzner
and Murakata murders was no longer
being carried out on the assumption
that the person or persons responsible
for them were the same He is still of
the opinion that Ralph Scanlan was
connected directly or indirectly with
the two former. but thinks that the
crime at the Japanese bank had no
connection with either Of them.
Margery Ryan, companion of Scan
Ian, is being held prisoner by the po-
lice, but is resisting all their efforts
and wiles to obtain any information
incriminating him. Effie Corey's story
that Scanlan was spurred on to crime
by the Ryan girl she characterizes as a
fabrication inspired by jealousy.
Alma Fisher. Eff1e Corey and lot
of other girls were jealous of me- she
said last night, and they are telling
all kinds of lies about Scanlan now
that we are both in trouble. There's
not one of them, though, that wouldn't
change places with me If she thought
it would help her anyway with the man
whom everybody Is now knocking.

in an instant Joe stalled around long
enough to wipe the resin of his glove
so as not TO take an unfair advanta &c
OF his opponent. But few. men in the
house took cognizance of this very
square trait that few boxers ever dis
play.
Thomas emerged from the ring with
out a scratch on his face or body. He
said after the go that not one of his
opponents blows had the slightest ef-
feet on him. The wild swing. Joe ad-
mitted, took him by surprise and dazed
him for a second, but it could plainly
be seen by the manner in which he
came back that the wallop was moth
ing more than a glancing one and had
but little force behind It.
GOOD CROWD AT RINGsIDE.
The fight was attended by a fairly
good house, there being about S2500
in the box Office. The gallery. as usual,
rooted for the local boy. but on several
occasions, when he slipped one over
coming out of a clinch, they hissed,
though the Kisses We're uncalled for, as
the men were lighting under the
straight rules.
The preliminary was won in a round
and a half by Joe Reilly, who swung
q couple of rights on the jaw of the
Portland Kid" taking all the fight out
OF the latter before he had a chance to
get warmed up. The Northerner was
touted as a wonder with the mitts, but
he will have to show more speed than
he did last night If he expects to fig
ure IN any more bouts around this city.
The car service was-very good, the
crowd getting back to the city shortly
after II o'clock. The United Railroads
had long line of cars waiting at the
door of the pavilion to transfer the
fans back TO town
The mill was refereed by Billy
Roche. who gave a good account of
himself in the ring. He seldom laid
his hands on the men. for both were
familiar with the style under which
they were fighting and obeyed Roche's
commands without being told a second
time.

To be such a successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband. to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, Irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
TO build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers. such as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.

letter from a young wife:
