LOST GIRL. ALMOST NAKED,

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Wandering
alone about the golf links in Van Cort-
landt Park, in nothing more than an
undershirt to protect her from the
cold, a little 10-year-old girl startled
the guests of the Golf House at the
head of the golf links in the park when
she wandered in there at about 11:S0
o'clock last night John P. O'Connor,
the proprietor of the hotel, summoned
his wife, and the little girl was taken
upstairs and clothed more warmly.
She said that while she had been
walking about man had taken some
rings off her finger, which was found to
be scratched as if a ring had been
roughly jerlked from it, The child also
had bruises about her arms and legs,
but when questioned about these she
said she had received them from fall
ing while she was walking around.
The little girl could not give the po-
lice any information as to where she
had come from nor even as to what
time sire had left home.
Later, however, the police Of the
Kingsbridge station were notified by
the family of Herbert Metzger, Of 250
East 2sSth street. that their 10-year-old
daughter Evelyn. was missing, and
the family were informed in turn. that
the child was at the Fordham Hospital.
They explained that the little one was

ASSASSINATION OF
PREMIER OF PERSIA.
Supposed to Be the Work of the Secret
Societies Who Considered Him an
Enemy to the Constitution.

LONDON, Sept. at is believed here
that the assassination of the Persian
premier and the Minister of the In
terror, Mira Ali Asghar Khan, who
was shot and instantly killed as he
was leaving the National Council at
Teheran. August 81, was planned by the
secret societies which have their head
quarters at Baku and whose members,
numbering about $4,000, have bound
themselves to uphold the constitution.
The societies have collected arms
and ammunition, possess considerable
funds and, through the Persian press,
have been carrying on a campaign
against the late PREMIER declaring him
to be an enemy of the constitution
The Persians in London deplore the
assassination, occurring as 1t has just
at the time when the Anglo Russian
agreement gave fresh hope ~of progress
for Persia, the late premier having
been a friend Of both Russia and Great
Britain.

AT THIEVING
EAGLE
Owner Of Poultry Stolen
by Bird Cannot See JUS
tice of Law.

p. I. Frankton, proprietor of a hotel
bearing his name in Springfield ave-
nue., Hilton, was arrested Saturday
night by game wardens and fined $40
and costs. amounting to $3.50, for
violation of S.e game laws in that he
had a wounded wild eagle in his pos
session. The bird is one which at
tracted attention in the window of a
saloon of John d. Hayes in Market
street. near Halsey street, Saturday.
John O'Mara,i neighbor of Frank
toms, has been missing chickens and
ducks for some time, and was mystified
as to the identity of the thief until
Friday, when he and Franlxton saw the
eagle fly down and seize duck in its
talons and fly away.
Arming himself O'Mara, accompanied by
Frankt1n. followed the bird into the
woods. They found it on the top of a tree
feasting on the duck. and as 1t spread its
wings O'Mara fired and brought it to the
ground. the we'll directed shot having hit
the bird in the wing.
Frankton is a friend of Hayes, both being
members of the Order of Eagles. Frank
ton conceived the idea of giving the eagle
to Hayes for exhibition. His arrest fol-
lowed.
He will consult a lawyer to see if he
has no legal redress. He paid his fine
under protest. He believes that If Ii be
legal to shoot a man who is>caught COM
mitting a theft, there is as much reason
in catching and killing, If necessary, a
bird or animal that is committing a
depreciation on PERSONS property.

BOY GONE, SHE
SUSPECTS
HUSBAND
TOldt Couple Living Apart.
: POliceQuestiOnB Blacksmith,
Who Pleads Innocent.

Although Detective Sergeants Koer-
ber and Waller. of the detective bureau
have been investigating the disappear
ance on last Wednesday of William
Toldt, jr, from his home at 497 South
Tenth street, but without success so
far, the boys mother now intimates
that her husband may be responsible
Mrs. Toldt visited the Fourth Pre-
cinct station several times and called
again today to see Captain Vogel. He
told the grieving woman that the po-
lice are doing all in their power.
When asked If she suspected her
husband, Mrs. Toldt replied, "Yes, /
do, for the boy certainly wouldn't go
away of his own accord. You know
/ have been separated from my hus-
band for the last four years. and 1
believe his people are mixed up in
Willie's going away"
The police are somewhat suspicious
about the case, but when they interro-
gated Toldt, who conducts blacksmith
shop in West Kinney street, he denied
that he was guilty, and added that
he was just as anxious for the recov-
cry of the boy as his mother was.
A few days ago Toldt said that the
boy had some relatives in Brooklyn.
When asked today If she had made in
quiries from the boys relatives in
Brooklyn, Mrs. Toldt answered:
mo, I don't know where they live;
they are not my folks, but his" Mean
ing her husbands relatives.)
The day after the Toldt lad disap-
peared a story was circulated that he
was seen board a Plank Road trolley
car bound for New York at Springfield
and Sixteenth avenues, in company
with two men, who were roughly dress
ed. He had been seen by relatives a
short time previous and told to go
home. The boy was the proud owner
of bicycle. and oftentimes bested
others in sprints on the asphalt near
his home. He attended the South
Tenth Street Public School, and in
conversation with companions recently
who were preparing to go back to
school next week, he said that he in
tended to have it arranged that BIZ
cycle races would be held at the next
public school athletic meet.
Toldt was not at his place of business
today when an EVENING STAR re-
porter called.

TRIED 3 TIMES
TO BURN
HOTEL
Many Lives Imperilled by
Firebug in New Jersey
Railroad Avenue.

Three separate attempts ware made
to burn the building at New Jersey
Railroad avenue. occupied as a saloon
AMI hotel by John Gormlay, early this
morning. Kerosene oil was used to
set the blaze in three closets On the
main floor, and bus for the pr onipt dig
covery of the blaze by Andrsw Dunn,
a night watchman. Joss of life would
probably have resulted, as there were
a large number of roomers asleep in
the many upstairs rooms. The flames
were extinguished with loss of about
$100.
Watchman Dunn was passing the
place about 1870, and his attention was
called to smoke coming from the tram
som over the front door, An alarm was
sent in from box 36, while Dunr
aroused the occupants of the house
after which he directed his efforts tc
extinguish a fire in a small closet back
of the bar. The barroom was filled
with smoke, which smelled strongly of
kerosene oil. This fire was held in
check until the firemen arrived, when
it was promptly extinguished.
When the firemen searched the prem-
ises they discovered two additional fires
in closets on either side of an archway
leading from the bar-room to the rear
room Each of these fires had been
started with the aid of oil, but had
gained little headway when discovered.
Superintendent Martin of the Salvage
Corps, made an investigation of the fire
today and said that there was no ques-
ton but that the fire was the work of
an incendiary. He said that Gormley
suspected no one. He closed his saloon
Saturday night, but failed to open 1t as
usual after IL o'clock this morning. ,
When aroused the occupants of tho
building hurriedly seized a few arti-
cles of clothing and rushed to the street,
some very scantily attired. Some left
the building by the front entrance,
while others jumped from their win
dows to the rear of an adjoining build
ing. When the firemen arrived the
occupants were assured that there was
no immediate danger, and some re-
turned to their rooms to gather up
their valuables, but the more timid ones
remained in the street until the firemen
returned to their quarters.
