School girl whose father reported to
the police yesterday that on several
occasions his daughters hair had been
shipped off of her head by an unidenti-

not know how her hair was cut
The detectives questioned the girl for
nearly an hour before she broke down
and confessed that she cut her tresses
because they were too warm in the
summer time.
The girls mother said that after
Helena confessed that the girls father
had doubted Helena's story when she
told It, but reported the matter to the

SLEUTHS SPY
UPON WIFE OF
FRANK GOULD
She Has Spent $1,000 in
Am Effort to Discover
the Reason Why.

GREENWICH, Conn, July 15-Al-
though insisting that there is no serious
trouble between herself and husband,
Mrs. Frank j. Gould admitted today at
her home here that she has been per-
sistently annoyed during the past two
months by the mysterious espionage of
detectives, that she has expended with
out the knowledge of Mr.. GouN 81 900 in
employing detectives on her own ac-
count to guard her and find out the
significance of her surveillance.
Everybody tells me-" she said. "that t
I am being followed by detectives. My
friends warn me l am being pursued by
strange men, and even the servants tell
me 1 am being watched. Ny maid ran
to tell me only the other day that a man
on a bicycle had been following me-"
Mrs Gould also employed men to
shadow detectives who We're annoying a
friend of the family in the same way.
II can't imagine what it MEANS" she
said. II know of no reason any one
would have for watching me. No mat
ter where I go there is shadow lurking
about, my friends tell me- and the es-
pionage has lasted for two months at
least.
she continued "Mr. Gould thinks
overdo at tennis and swimming. and do
not take proper care Of myself. You
see, he thinks 1 am very young and
childish, and, perhaps, to frivolous"
Mrs Gould admitted that some of her
friends thought her husband was at
timas inclined al jealousy, but she de-
clared they were as friendly as ever,
despite a misunderstanding they had
two months ago.
ut Is true that Mr.. Gould is in New
York most of the time" she said, but
I am in constant communication with
him and he comes to see me here and
go to New York frequently to dine with
him. We sail for Europe together in a
week or two. He spends a great deal of
his time at our town house, as he is
experimenting repairs and improve
ments on it.
'Whoever thought there was any
estrangement between Mr. Gould and
myself, however, will be convinced to
the contrary when we sail" she con-
cluded, and seemed relieved at the
prospect of the trip.
For two months detectives have kept
at the heels of Mrs. Gould. AS in the
case of Mrs. Howard Gould, they have
never let her out of their sight save
when she entered her home. And,
finally, goaded to desperation by the
strange persecution, she, like Mrs.
Howard Gould, hired detectives to find
out what it all meant

FAIR TEACHER
DEFENDS HER
MOTHER
Seaside Chambermaid' Neg
ligence Caused Trouble in
Atlantic City Hotel.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 15.-The al
legged negligence of chambermaid to
do her work involved Mrs Mildred
Geldner, mother of a pretty Newark
schoolteacher, and guest at south
Kentucky avenue hotel In row with
the manager of the hostelry. Mrs. Sarah
Ferry, who caused her arrest for threat
ening to kill her.
Complaint having been made by Mrs.
Geldner that her daughters room had
not been given proper attention, the
women angrily discussed the matter in
the presence of the other guests, ac-
cording to the complainant. The latter
demonstrated with her and wordy al
tercation ensued, the upshot of which
was that Mrs. Geldner was ordered
from the hotel. When she was taking
her trunks away she was halted by the
manager on the ground that the board
must first be paid. Mrs. Geldner Is al
legged at this juncture to have threat
ened to kill anybody who tried to stop
her from removing her baggage.
Indignantly and with vivid bushes,
Miss Geldner defended her mother,
averring that she had made no such
threats as were alleged.
I'VE are more ladylike than that"
she declared warmly. my mother
couldn't have made the threats If she
had wanted to, for these people sur
rounded her" nodding towards the
complainant and her witness. ''and she
couldn't get a word in edgewise."
Mrs Geldner was held under $50
bonds in her own recognizance to keep
the peace. 1t developed in the testi-
mony that she had taken apartments on
st. James place and had notified the
hotel people three days before the row
that she intended to leave.
