found the marchioness and his two

and the marquis seized his wife and

through the door, which he slammed
behind him. An instant later the
bulls horns pierced a panel of the
door, which held firm. The marquis
seized a rife and shot the bull from

turned over by Wittmeyer from the
tax duplicates Of 1904 and 1906. Ii is

quested to make settlement, but for
some reason has delayed in doing so.

mittee, through its clerk. requested the
former collector to report at its next
meeting and settle up his accounts.
Wittmeyer failed to appear at the ses-
sion yesterday. but sent a messenger
with a check for 5000 and a message
that he had been prevented from being
present on account of harvesting. He
said that he would be ready to meet
the committee after harvest and set
tie up his accounts in full.

Moore gave his prospective son-in-law
what might be called a clean bill of

1.-The duke" he said, "is the regular

and a fine chap. He met my daughter

DUPED
BY "DAUGHTER
OF EARL"
English Woman Gen.
erOusly Dispenses Checks,
Returned as Worthless.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Mrs. Eva
Fox-Strangways, a beautiful English
woman who has represented herself as
an intimate friend of the Astors. the
Vanderbilts and the McAllisters, is be-
ing sought by the detectives in the en-
ploy of the Hotel Mems Association
and the police of New York and Phila-
delphia, after leaving a trail of bad
checks and unpaid bills amounting to
thousands of dollars.
This remarkable young woman, who
has lived at some of the most expen-
sive hotels in the two cities, has posed
as the daughter of the Earl of Illches-
ter, one of the richest and most promi-
nent of English peers, and through her
beauty and gracious name had no
difficulty in in~gratiating herself not
only with those with whom she did
business, but with some of the most
prominent persons from a social view
point In New York.
The general belief is that the hotels
are not the only sufferers from the
young woman's financial dealings, but
that when the truth is made known
that It will develop that several women
of prominence have advanced funds to
her, either by cashing checks, which
have always come back marked mo
funds or else by loaning money out
right.
Mrs. Fox or Mrs. Strangways or Mrs.
Fox-Strangways-she has one under
the three names as occasion or N
venience required-had only been in
New York a few weeks when she got
into communication with certain mem
bers of the Board of Education. She
had a wonderful knowledge Of the
world. She had Travelled in every part
of 1t, and her description of travelling
was delightful.
Her income was such, she represent
ed, that it was not necessary for her
tt work, but just to be employed she
was induced to accept a place as a lee
turer in the public schools. She was to
begin her talks to the children this
fall.
Detectives have found that the
m owes large bills to department
stores and modistes.
1t is now said the handsome woman
first appeared at the Waldorf-Astoria
during the Horse Show last fall. She
had many trunks, but in some way
the management of the hotel had re-
ceived word about her and she was re-
quested to change her abode. Some
time later she appeared at the Savoy.
BY this time she had got into the good
graces of prominent New York society
men and women.
From that on It was easy sailing.
She went from hotel to hotel in New
York and then she ~journeyed to Phila-
delphia where all trace of her is now
lost.

COREAN DELEGATES NOT
TO BE RECOGNIZED.
State Department, Though, May Talk
Unoficially to the Two Now
ON the Wav Here.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The State De-
partment officials decline to make any
formal statement to indicate what kind
of reception will be accorded the two
Coreans. vi Yijiongoul and Prince vi
Tying Chi, who are said to have sailed
yesterday from London for the United
States to make an appeal to the President
in behalf of their country. These Coreans
were at The Hague conference with Gre
dentials said to have been issued by au-
thority Of the recently deposed Emperor.
Having formally recognized the Japan
csc control of the foreign relations of
Corea the State Department naturally
cannot indorse the presentation OF an I'M
authorized delegation of Coreans at The
Hague; consequently they will not be re-
ceived officially at Washington or at
Oyster Bay. 1t Is probable though that
the delegates may have an opportunity to
talk to the officials of the State Depart
ment and perhaps even with President
Roosevelt himself, unoficially.
