IS WITHOUT FACT
Friends in Kansas City Declare
Actress Never Lived in

Mrs. Douglas Saunders Adheres
to Assertion That Dangh-
ter Is Star

Contradiction and dispute yesterday
followed the statement of Mrs Douglas
Saunders OF San Rafael that Marie
Doro, the famous young actress. is her
daughter. All over the country facts
given out by Mrs Saunders were con-
troverted Interested friends, admirers
and fellow actresses took part in the
debate. yet the humble Mrs Saunders
adheres TO the story OF her daughters
ngratitude-her deSertion for the al
Turing life OF the stage
Mrs. Saunders says that mistrusting
persons do not know the facts that be-
cause OF Miss DorO'S achievement and
her high place on the stage she was
among surroundings which are nov a
part of Mrs. Saunders daily life.

planned yes terday. .-She covered up her
past and always wanted to be a girl OF

NEW DISCREPANCY
FOUND BY MOOSER
Receiver of Market Street Bank
Finds Another Strange Real
Estate Deal

Experts who worked on the books of
the Market street bank yesterday did
not toll for naught- Early in the days
work, according to Louis H Mooser.
receiver for the bank, a discrepancy
was discovered which brings the names
of W. B. Nash and Charles w. Smith.
who figured in the Burlingame terrace
muddIe, into the limelight
For several days accountants have
been diligently working TO discover ad-
ditional discrepancies to those which it
is alleged have already been found
Yesterday records OF real estate deal
in which piece of property in the
south line of Pacific avenue, between
Baker and Broderick streets, had been
purchased and improved was singled
out Plainly enough, Mooser says, the
entry of the money loaned was made,
but beyond that nothing further ap-
pears on record The names of Nash
and Smith appear in connection with
the deal and the experts are puzzled TO
learn where s9,100 which should have
been paid to the bank as interest and
principal on the loan went. Mooser de-
clared that this amount was equally
divided between Nash and Smith when
it should have been turned into the
bank and added 10 the Institutions
profits.
When the grand jury eonvenes again on
September l additional evidence TO that
already found will be presented BY the
experts. whom Mooser declares will
have found further trace Of the alleged
misrepresentation of the funds realized
by this real estate transaction.
l. II. Mooser yesterday made the fol-
lowing statement: smith and Nash
borrowed $4,000 from the bank with
which to purchase property. Later S14.-
900 was loaned for the purpose of erect
ing an apartment house on the prop
erty. The $40. 600 was repaid. but notes
calling for $3.50 and $500 in partial
payment were never paid So there is
$4,000 due the bank which was never
paid. and we have every reason TO be-
lieve that this was divided and the
record which should have been made
carefully covered up"
Charles W. Smith was a clerk in the
employ of Nash and is alleged 10 have
been the dummy purchaser OF the Bur
lingame terrace property. At present
he is in New York in connection with
business concerning the Direct Line
telephone company.

The two women fought the progress
OF the FIRE after turning in an alarm
and succeeded in saving the personal
effects in room 39S and one adjoining
occupied by ". F. Carney, who was
also away.
BY the time the fire department had
arrived the IRE was burning in the
walls at the middle north wing. The
spreading Of the flames was soon
checked and the damage by fire kept
down TO a small amount. Smoke and
water damaged the furnishings of the
hotel TO the extent OF $1,000.

CHAPTER NH.

~ n the evening of that same day
Kinross, sitting on the grassy
terrace by the front gate con-
~ templating the dusty high
way, was still puzzling over the prob
lem of Eunice.
"Were she the Sleeping Beauty in
the enchanted castle she couldn't be
more inaccessible" was the conclusion
to which he had come as, after seeing
the whole family, including Eunice, go
upstairs for the night, he had neces-
sarily postponed his quest to the NOR
row.
ut looks as though | should be driv-
en- to communicate with her through
correspondence even while here under
the same roof with her.
He was fairly wearied out with his
SpeculationS about her, For the first
time he now found his disguise irk-
some, so much would he have liked
freely to discuss the case with Miss
Ellery. Surely that philosophical young
woman was not SO abnOrmally self en-
crossed as not to be curious also
about Eunice. Perhaps if he gave her
and Daisy an opportunity they would
question him about the girl, thinking,
Of course, that he had known her long
and intimately. 1t would be-a relief,
even under the hampering condition
Of his assumed character, to talk her
over with some one. How had her
extraordinary talk Of the night before
struck Miss Ellery anyway?
He had reached this point in his
meditations when he was reused by
the sound of step behind him. All
the family had gone to bed, so it must
be the young ladies. They were COM
ing to join him on the terrace.
"a mere farmland is, after all, a
man." he shrugged.
But this evening he felt an unusual
readiness to welcome their society.
IF l can't investigate Eunice N.Y.
self, at least can now get at the
impression she has made on others"
He tossed away the cigar he was
smoking. 1t was of the brand smok-
ed by Miss Ellery's father and quite
too choice to be found in the possession
OF farmland. He hoped she wouldn't
notice the aroma
He turned around and looked up.
There before him, slim and pale in
the starlight, stood Eunice, in the un-
expectedness of her appearing sug
costing to his startled fancy a vision
Of a Fra Angelica anger.

sentence to Seth Il. Hartzell who was
sentenced to a h%ve-year term for man
slaughter in the killing of Byron L.

opening of a road on the Hartzell home
stead n mile west Of Langdon The
plea of self-defense was entered, but the
jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter,
and Judge Fisk sentenced Hartzell to
five years, The father of young Hart
zell. who is an old man, and veteran of
the civil war, is naturally deeply inter-
ested in the case of his son and has
attended every meeting OF the state
board of pardons for two or three years
in a vain endeavor to obtain a pardon.
Inasmuch as young Hartzell's sentence
would have expired in February, the
board decided to commute the sentence
SO that it would expire December l, and
this will give the father a sort of
Christmas present in the release of his
son. :
