DOG FINDS THE DIAMONDS
Tale of Acumen That Comes from the
Majestic in Kansas City, "Show
Me-" State

Special to The Herald
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2.-Thls is the
tale of the dog that found the diamonds
Olga Reschkoff is one of the five hu-
man pinwheels who are doing Russian
dances at the Majestic this week. Last
Tuesday morning she lost her dia-
monds. When she left her hotel to go
to the theater she had them in a little
handbag. When she got to the theater
neither handbag nor diamonds could be
found. They were sure enough dia-
monds, too, real diamonds that won't
melt-in Russia. So she advertised in
the papers for their return, but they
didn't come back, and she gave them
up for gone.
William c. Cushman is the comedian
with the company. He has a dog-a
bulldog.
Yesterday afternoon the dog came
jogging into the theater with the lost
bag in his mouth, trotted right by his
masters dressing room door without
even bowling or speaking, raped OF
Miss Reschkoff's door, and when she
opened it handed her the bag. In it
were the diamonds-not a pound short.
But what mystifies Manager David
son most is that the dog steadfastly re-
fuses to tell where he found the dia-
monds. However, it proved that the
dog reads the papers.
Now, if you don't believe this story
Mr.. Davidson can take you right down
there any time and show you the
theater.
Seriously, though, all the employees of
the theater and the members of the
company insist that the story is abso-
lutely true.

to the city council at this mornings ses-
sion, reported total tax collections for De-
cember of $39,S73.31.
The sanitary inspector reported hav-
ing made 356 inspections during the month

an unsanitary condition. The Raab
Creamery company, according to his re-
port, was ordered to install a perfect

they were cleansed in a defective bottle
washing machine. Two of the complaints

berry" freight on the Saginaw division
of the Pere Marquette railroad was
about eight miles from this city,
running along at a lively clip when
the engineer saw a girl on the track
ahead waving a red flannel pettlcoat
for the train to stop. Visions of mis-
placed switches, landslides, fallen
bridges and other terrors oe the road
filled the mind of the engineer and he
jammed the train to a stop ten feet
from the danger signal Then, with the
conductor. he jumped off to learn what
was the trouble.
Needless of the excited questions
popped at her, the girl brushed by,
climbed up into the cab, handed the
fireman a folded sheet of note paper
then jumped off and darted away.
The bewildered fireman opened the
note and read it, while the engineer
and conductor and all the rest of the
train crew goggled over his shoulder.

WOMAN MASQUERADES AS
MAN FOR THREE YEARS
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Jan. 2-After at least
three years of masquerading as man,
to the deception of persons with whom
she boarded and even her lawyer, Il
mysterious person known only as Gus
Seib" has disappeared, and as a result
an action for damages in which she
had appeared as plaintiff against the
Interborough Street Railway company
has been allowed to go by default with
Judgment for costs against her.
This disposition of the case was sug
gested by Emanuel L. Silberstein, the
attorney in question, when he learned
from a physician the sex of his client.
1t was in January, 1908, that friend
of Mr.. Silberstein sent "Seib" to him
to bring suit against the company be-
cause of injuries received by falling
from a car at Fifty-ninth street and
Fifth avenue.
The client gave ''his" address as
First avenue and Twenty-fourth street,
a boarding house, and said "he" was
employed in a restaurant in Sixth ave-
nue., near Thirty-ninth street. He" was
about 80 years old, of dark complexion,
with closely cropped black hair, wore
a sack suit and a fedora hat, and was
entirely masculine in manner.
In an effort to compromise the case
out of court, Mr.. Silberstein took "Seib"
to the office of the claim adjuster of
the company where also not an inti-
nation of the fact that the claimant
was a woman was gained. "Seib'
thereupon disappeared. A few days
ago Mr.. Slberstein met DR.. Samuel
Herzstein, who conveyed the amazing
information that 'Seib" was woman.
The physician knew nothing of the
whereabouts of the woman.
At two boarding houses where the
mysterious person had lived, and at
restaurant where she had been assis-
tant to the chef, no one had the faint
est notion that "Seib' was woman.

!" JIM CROW' LAW OF TEXAS ON
 JULY l2
Street Cars Must Not Give Passes and Must Have Sep arate Compartments for the COlored Brother and Sister,

FL PASO. June 13.-The Texas Jim Crow" law, enacted by the 3Oth legislature, goes into effect July 12 and the Fl Paso Electric Railway company is making preparations for carrying out the provisions.
 On the same day will go into ef- feet the law prohibiting street rail- way companies a@ we'll as railroads rom giving passes to other than en- ployes actually on the payrolls. The penalty for a violation of the law is term in the penitentiary. When the Jim Crow" law goes into effect it will be the first time that the color line has been drawn on street cars in Fl Paso. The street car company does not anticipate any trouble. as there are not many ne- gToes in the city. In San Antonio and Houston where the color line on street cars has been drawn for sey- eral years, trouble has occurred more than once, the negroes boycotting the companies. At both places the ne goes ran hack lines, charging five cent fares, in prefenence to patroniz- i ing the street cars. The buycotters grew tired in the course of a short time and returned to the street cars, however.
 C. w. Kellogg, jr., vice president and general manager of the Fl Paso Electric Railway company, said this morning that the company was pre- pairing to carry out the provisions of the "Jim Crow" law when it becomes effective.
 We will have the same system as is in use It Houston and other Texas cities where the color line is drawn on street cars" said Mir. Kellogg. The law requires the placing of signs designating the parts of the car to be occupied by whites and blacks. We have received samples of the signs used at Houston and they are the kind we will use here.
 'The company will not be put to much trouble in carrying out the pro visions of the law, as these signs are not expensive I really do not think that the law should be made to apply to Fl Paso, as there are so few negroes here. The conditions here are far different from those back in Houston, san Antonio and other Tex as cities in what is known as the black belt But the law is a state law and applies to all cities. Our company intends to abide by it and we will see that the white and black passengers are kept in separate parts of the cars.
 The anti-pass law is looked upon with great favor by Manager Kellogg He said:
 It will be 3 pleasure for us to fol low out the anti-pass law. It is good law and every street car com pany in Texas is pleased with it. We have a heavy pass list but all deadheads will be cut off on and after July 12 next unless they are act ual employees of the company and this means that they must make their liy- ing from such employment.
