OUQUESNE CLUB
COOL TO COREY
SNUB DRIVES MAGNATE TO
NEW YORK
Carnegie steel Company Officials Din.
ner Said to Have Been Very
Cheap AHair-No Hope
Of Reconciliation
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PITTSBURG, Jan. S.-When in Pitts.
burg last Sunday W. Ellis Corey met
Ouquesne club and talked over mat
ters with him, but the breach was
only widened. Corey was in addition
treated so coolly by his fellow club
members at the Duquesne club that he
left in hurry for New York.
The way in which the Anna Held din
ner affair was dragged in with the
name on the Duquesne club by Corey
some time ago has not been relished.
Even the dinner given by the Carnegie
Steel company officials is said to have
been one of the most common ever
dished UP in this fashionable club. A
sarcastic rumor was circulated last
night that the menu cards of the din
ner had cost $1C0 each. THE whole
dinner didn't cost $780, said a mil
lionaire, who was at it. 1.-The cards in
stead of costing 800 each came at
two cents each"
There is much disappointment here
among friends of the Coreys over the
failure of the steel king to have a
meeting with his wife. Mrs. Coreys
final proposition was delivered by a
friend to the head of the steel trust,
who, it is understood, refused to con-
slider it and left for the east.
Mrs. Corey has since said all hope
of a reconciliation has passed. She
will now follow out her original in
tention of suing for a divorce, nam
ing possibly three women as cores
pondents, the last of whom will likely
be Mabelle Gilman.
Corey did not carry out the Pitts
burg program that had been arranged
for him, and supposedly with his con-
sent. For more than three weeks Mrs.
Corey had been under the belief that
her husbands visit to Pittsburg would
be the beginning of the end. Word
came from him some weeks ago that
he would be here to see her when he
came to Pittsburg and it was also
tacitly understood that he would yield
to the wishes of his wife in every re-
spect when he came. He came to
Pittsburg but did not go to his fathers
home, where his wife has been for
six weeks.

Rugs. statuary, tapestries and other
valuables worth thousands of dollars
have been stolen from a Hollywood
residence and the police of Los An
geles are working on one of the big
gest robbery sensations that has con-
fronted the local department in months
Some time between last Thursday and
last Sunday the home of George T.
Exton proprietor of the EXton music
house on Spring street, on Franklin
avenue, near Francis street, in Holly
wood, was robbed of almost priceless
furnishings.
The house was ransacked from TOP
to bottom; the valuables were evidently
carted away and the robbers have es-
capped. These are the facts as they
were presented yesterday to the detec-
tives at the cntral station in Los An
giles.
The Exton home at Hollywood has
been occupied by George r. Exton and
his sister Miss Anna. Several weeks
ago Miss EXton went to San Fran
cisco and since then her brother has
spent the greater part of his time in
Los Angeles, being detained frequently
by business affairs.
When Mr.. Exton went to his Hol-
lywood home last Wednesday, the home
was as he had left it a rev days before
He staid in the house that night and
the next morning came to Los An
geles.
Finds Work of Robbers
Mr.. Exton went again to Hollywood
Sunday and was thunderstruck to find
that the house had been ransackeo
from basement to attic.
Persian rugs Indian blankets. costly
vases and statuary and other valuableS
had been taken.
Even a number of gowns and other
wearing apparel belonging to Miss
Anna Exton had disappeared
Evidently the robbery had been com
rnitted by experts in their line. Arti
cles of small value had not been taken
but few costly furnishings were over
looked.
Such an amount of property hat
been stolen that the officers believe
the valuables were hauled away ir
wagons at some hour of the night
when the robbers were least likely tC
be interrupted or seen by pedestrians
The Los Angeles detective force Il
making a thorough search for the
stolen articles. Dealers in second hanc
goods, pawn shops and all places where
booty might be disposed of are being
watched closely.
Detectives said last night that mas
much as the robbers probably had sew
eral days start they undoubtedly hat
disposed Of the furniture or had hid
den it in some secluded place.
Local officers regard the HOLLYWOOD
robbery as one of the most daring thai
has been reported for months and they
are making every effort to apprehenC
the thieves.

A yeritable Emporium Of Furs.

A chance visit to the fur department.
of Ben Bears store on Monday reveal
ed some surprising things to us.
We had no idea that any establishment
in the state of Iowa could carry such
an enormous stock of furs at profit.
The upper floor is packed with
fur and fur lined coats of every de-
scription, from the cheaper grades TO
the most costly. Besides large num-
Der are kept upon the first floor for
showing to customers. Asking Mr..
Bear why he kept such a big stock,
he replied that his trade in this line
had been growing so rapidly and ex-
tending so much farther in territory
during the past few years, that he
found it necessary TO carry just such
a stock as is found in the exclusive
fur establishments in the cities, in
order to have complete assortment.
and also that in purchasing in such
large quantities he gets much better
figure than anyone else can secure and
saves Just that much for the buyer.
Next Saturday he will make his an
nual showing of fur coats on the east
side of the store. 1t will be we'll
worGh your inspection even if you do
not expect to buy fur coat in the
next twenty years Go and see for
yourself that the above is true. His
adv. also tells you about it. Read it.
