SCHEME TO DEFRAuD CATHOLICS

TRENTON, June S:-To protect
the residents of his diocese from be-
coming the victims of fraudulent col
lectors, soliciting money supposedly
in behalf of Catholic missions, Bishop
McFaul has addressed an open letter
to the public For years Catholics
of this diocese have been the victims
of unscrupulous persons, who said
they were collectors for missions in
other countries. The letter of Bish-
op Nc: Faul follows:
To Whom It May Concern
His excellency, Monsignor Lessie,
apostolic delegate to Persia, requests
formation to the clergy and laity of
this diocese:
"A few years ago two young Chal-
deans went to the United States and
to Canada to collect for the Catholic
missions of Persia. AS credentials
they presented photographs of the
sisters of charity of Ourmiah, Persia.
These photographs of the sisters, or
phan asylum, ETC., were procured by
fraud. These two men collected a
very large sum of money, about
100000 and are now living in
princely style in Persia.
Another impostor is on his way
who goes under the name of Father
Joseph and has letters forged with
the seal of Monsignor Oludo and of
the apostolic delegate. He should be
turned over to the police. No priest
or layman is authorized to collect
money for the Catholic missions of
Persia.
] embrace this opportunity to in
form the public that no person is per-
mitted to solicit moneys in this do
cese for Catholic charitable purposes
without the written permission of To-
cal pastors, signed by their names,
with the seal of their churches, or
without my signature with the do
cesan seal attached.

Bishop of Trenton.

Local Woman Is
Deceived by
Her FianCe.
IN NST.LOUIS,MO

ST. LOUIS, June S:-After having
come here from Perth Amboy, N. j.,
to become the bride. of James F.
Scarf, Miss Mary E. Griffen left her
hotel yesterday to return home un-
welded. That she did not become
Scarff's wife is due to circumstances
that have set the police to searching
for the man. He disappeared an
hour before the ceremony was to
have been performed, while the ex-
pectant bride was changing her trav-
cling dress for the bridal gown. With
him went, it is alleged, 5000 pearl
pin, her railway ticket and $25 she
had brought here.
Scarf, who is telegraph operator,
thirty years old, and Miss Griffen,
who is thirty-eight, arrived in st.
Louis Thursday, he from Waco, Tex,
and she from Perth Amboy. He met
her at the Union station and escorted
her to the Milton hotel, 18th and
Chestnut streets. where he had al
ready engaged quarters. They visited
the city hall in the afternoon and OBJ
tanned the marriage license. They
were to have been married at 8
o'clock in the evening. At z o'clock
Scarf told Miss Griffen to prepare for
the ceremony. He said he would go
out and search for a preacher while
she donned the bridal gown she had
brought with her. He has not been
seen since Miss Griffen waited, at
tired for the wedding, until midnight
at which hour she engaged bell boy
to guard her door while she slept.
Before leaving her room Scarf, she
said, had picked up her pearl pin and
the purse from the dresser and had
told her he would take care of them
for her. She said he had worn the
pin hundreds of times before and she
thought nothing of his action. When
she left she said she intended to tele-
graph the railroad company to stop
load of furniture, including trunk
of silver, which she had shipped from
Perth Amboy before leaving.
Two and half years ago she met
Scarf, who was then telegraph OPP
orator in Perth Amboy. He went to
Waco and by letter they arranged
the meeting in st. Louis. Miss Grif-
fen made her bridal gown and, ship
ping her goods to Waco, bade her par
ents adieu.
Scarf left his valise at the hotel.
This Miss Griffen says she opened
but found nothing to console her. He
has only one relative known to her,
sister, Miss Nellie Scarf, who is in
convent in Rochester, N. Y.
The parties mentioned in the case
are well-known throughout this city
and Miss Griffen has wide circle OF
friends.
