ROBBED IN HOTEL BY
MAN UNDER HER BED
Cartoons Housekeeper Savagely At
tackled When She Tries to Reach
Telephone to Call the
Police

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-Miss Katherine
Secretan, housekeeper of the exclusive
Hotel Carlton, at Fifty-fourth street and
Broadway, is confined to her bed with a
severe nervous shock resulting from an
attack made on her by man who robbed
her room early yesterday morning.
Miss Secretan entered her room late and
afterward recalled hearing a noise which
now leads her to believe the man was hid
ing under her bed at the time. She slept
only a few minutes and awoke to find a
powerfully built man looking at her. In
the dark she could not distinguish his
features clearly, but she thinks he was a
negro.
She started to jump for the telephone,
when the man seized her by the throat,
threw her on the bed and threatened 10
kill her. He then ransacked the room and
escaped to the roof.
That he would have carried out his
threat to kill seems probable, for a stock
ing filled with stones was found in the
room. There were also indications that
the robber had planned to tie Miss Secre-
tan to the bed. He secured her week 8
wages and about 5000 which she had re-
ceived from the sale of some rugs for the
management
Detectives Quinn and Fitzpatrick of the
Forty-seventh street police station, who
were put on the case, say that the SER
wants of the hotel suspect a man who was
present when Miss Secretan was selling
the rugs and knew she had the money in
her room.

open an office of his own His parents
live at 6S4 Union avenue, and he began
to practice there Mrs. McGlade returned
to her old home in Kansas to wait for her
husband to get on his feet.
For a time the letters that reached her
from the Bronx were all those of a young
husband to his bride should be, but soon
they began to grow colder, and at last
became few in number and perfunctory
in tenor, Then Mrs. McGlade grew sus-
picious and came east again. She made
investigations and found another woman
had gained first place in the young doc
tors affections. She has not, she said
today, learned just who her rival is, but
is convinced she has a strong one, and
is not sure but that there are several
She retained lawyer and began separa
ton proceedings. The lawyer, before pro-
ceeding, tried to effect a reconciliation
but failed, for the reason that he could
not locate DIR. McGlade.
Then Mrs. McGlade appealed to the
charities commissioners and was advised
to go to the magistrates court at Far
Rockaway and swear out a warrant for
her husbands arrest on a charge of aban-
donment. She did so, the warrant being
issued by the magistrate. 1t was given to
an officer to serve, but so far the doctor
has not been arrested. The reason for
this is not quite clear to Mrs. McGlade
and her friends, as 1t is understood the
doctor is frequently seen about Jamaica
and Rockaway beach, and apparently
has not evaded arrest.
Mrs. McGlade is now at the residence of

Magistrate Says He Didn't Believe
Fellow Accosted Her Think
ing He Knew
Her

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2O-When a
pretty we'll dressed woman soundly slaps
a mans face on Chestnut street there's
bound to be another story"
The sequel to the scene at Tenth and
Chestnut streets on Wednesday night,
when Mrs. n. Besterman of 427 Morton
street, aimed several we'll directed blows
at the visage of Frank Biglow of Fifty
second and Vine streets, took place in
Magistrate Beaton's office yesterday
morning.
The man was dapper and wore gold eye
glasses. The woman was sty.ishly gowned
and pretty, and her eyes flashed behind
her heavy we'll as she told the magis-
trate how Biglow had accosted her ard
insisted on accompanying her and her
girl companion on Wednesday night.
'He joined us on Tenth street, near
Chestnut" she said, "and declared that
he knew me. l thought at first this might
be true and hesitated When l saw my
mistake ard walked on he followed, max
ing insulting remarks / just couldn't
stand it, and 1 turned around and struck
him square in the face several times"
At this juncture policeman interfered,
and Biglow was locked up, the woman
declaring she would appear against him.
Biglow's defense that he had met the
woman before didn't convince the mag
istrate, and he fined him $40 and costs for
disorderly conduct.
The masher meekly paid his fine, ad-
hitting that he had met his Waterloo.

Wife swears out Warrant, but as Yet
Dr. McGIade Has Not Been
Arrested-Case of Love
at First Sight

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Another case OF
love at first sight. resulting in secret
marriage, has turned out badly, and
pretty Mrs. Florence McGlade of Jamai-
ca. who is now only % years old, is the
victim of mans perfidy.
Mrs. McGlade was Miss Florence Kali
ser, and her home until the early 9Os
was in Western Kansas. She left home
to go to st. Louis, and from hospital in
that city she came east, and in Novem-
ber, 1905, secured a position in st. Mary $
hospital at Jamaica. in Queens Borough.
There she met DR.. John McGlade, a
young interne. and proceeded to fall in
love with the handsome and agreeable
disciple of Esculapius. The doctor felt
dart from Cupid's bow at the same
time and the result was a secret we'd
ding few weeks later at a Catholic
church in Manhattan, the name and exact
location of which Mrs. McGlade cannot
tell.
After the ceremony the young couple re-
turned to the hospital and continued their
work-he as an inferno and she as nurse.
Nothing was said of the marriage, and it
was not known until some months later,

..LANTIC CITY, Aug. 2O.-Two thou-
sand bathers this morning formed a NAM
moth posse to help two distressed women
find a lost handbag containing SZolz IN
Jewels and cash. That the purse was not
yecovered and returned to its hysterical
gunner was not because of any lack or
enthusiasm in the search nor tnat tne
prowess of q score of college athletes'

individual, who is supposed to nave plckea
ND the valuables, buried them IN the sdllu i
and sat on the spot until the excitement
was over.
The curiosity of Miss Dorothy Hay
wood of Pittsburg to witness the rescue
of a bather, resulted in the loss OF the
handbag, which she was keeping for It's
owner. Mrs. George Murphy, proml-
nent society matron of Allegheny while
the latter was bathing with a party OIL
friends. Four other women OF the party,
who are guests at the Hotel FeInproke,
had left their wrist bags In care OF the
pretty Miss Haywood, who then sat down
on the beach near Virginia avenue TO
watch the bathing crowds and await the
return of her friends.
one member of the party returned to
get a handkerchief and Miss Haywood
was compelled to remove the bags, the
handles of which she had strung over
her arm. Mrs. Murphy's purse. was still
lying in the young woman's lap when a
hundred voices rose in unison as beach
crowds rushed down toward the water $
edge to see Life Guards Parker, Paul and
Ingram bring ashore Miss Margaret
Wells, a Philadelphia bather, who had
tainted. Miss Haywood had never before
seen a beach rescue and she rose and ran
along with the others. 1t was then that
she lost the valuable wristbag, and scarce
ly two minutes afterward that she dis
covered it was gone.
She retraced her steps, but there was
no sign of the bag on the sand. -Four
bathers declared that stout man had

their efforts were of no avail.
Mrs. Murphy was overcome when told
of the loss of her handbag, which con-
tanned, besides her money and Jewelry,
her return ticket to Pittsburg. Police
have taken UP the search, but have lit
tie hope of finding the missing articles.

YOUNG COUPLE EXPERIMENT ON HOW
TO REMAIN HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED

donned his bathing suit, and he had it on
and was stretched on the warm sand in
short order. But he was too considerate
to go into the water until little WHEY
was ready. 1t is little more intricate
process for a woman to divest herself of
her glad raiment and get into bathing
suit, and by the time she arrived the hot
sun was making something of an inn
preston on his tender skin. He could
just feel the blsters forming
'Well, dear, shall we go into the water
now?" he asked, in his tenderest tone.
"Why, just whatever you want to do
Would you rather go in now or wait
awhile?"
II want to do just what you want to
do. 1t doesn't make any difference to
me IL we go in now or wait"
ME either. If you would rather wait
1 would rather wait, too"
But 1 want you to do just whatever
you want to. l brought you down here
for holiday, and things are going to be
conducted to suit you, not me-
"Yes, 1 know, DEAR but 1 would so
much rather do just what you want
to do"
In the meantime while the sand was
warm, a wind was blowing that easily
found its way through the thin bathing
suits. and at the end of the period of
painful agreea bleness little wifey con-
fessed she was chilled through and did
not believe it would be best for her to go
into the water after all. Hubby couldn't
go in without wifey and there was no
surf dip in that family yesterday.
Somehow they got together on a fish
ing proposition, and after little sport
with the denizens of the deep both felt
keenly the pangs of hunger.
Lets go to dinner" both said stimuli
taneously.
For once it appeared they had agreed
to the same thing at the same time and
it didn't seem possible there could be
hitch in the dinner program.
In front of the Auditorium cafe they
were attracted by the rowing crew OF the
Los Angeles Athletic club training for
the boat races at San Diego, and sat
down on a bench.
HE broke their absorbed silence.
'.Do you think we had better go to din
ner now or wait while?"
"Just whatever you say" she answered
sweetly, "If you're not hungry now
can wait awhile"
''I am little hungry, but I want to do
just whatever you want" and the merry
game of how to be happy though mar
ried was on again.
They kept it up They were even longer
about it than they were in the bathing
scene, and when they finally got together
the moon was turning the water to SHIN
merirg sheets of gold, the chill night
air from the ocean was blowing sharp
and cod, they had their appetites with
them and were ready for dinner, but the
meal had been served already and the
dining hall was shut.

the resumption of the trial of Louis

John Krause, who it is alleged, was
Halsey's assistant in the bribing of su-

called. He told of approaching Supervisor
Thomas F. Lonergan, showing him the
companys plans, lunching with him and
suggesting to him the "inadvisabillty" of
having rival telephone system in this
