PERHAPS FROM WASHINGTON
TRACING ORIGIN OF BANDIT
GANG IN BOSTON.
Organization May Be From Foreign
Element Here or in Baltimore,
the Police Think.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. Mass. July est is now
believed by the Boston police that the
band Of daring hold-up men who have
operated with such disastrous effect in
and near Boston during the past week.
with three deaths and a score Of in
jured. was organized by Boston des-
perado. Chris Zeltin, from the foreign
element Of Washington and Baltimore.
Zeltin was the leader of the gang who
ran amuck in Woburn a few months
ago. after taking part in the Woburn
shooting, and eluded the police. al
though his two companions were caught
and are now serving a life sentence.
After the woburn affair the Cambridge
inspectors chased Zeltin to Baltimore.
This was late in March. He sent a
very vicious letter to Chief Inspector
Hurley Of Cambridge written at the Sea-
mems Reading Room, Port Mission, Bal
timore.
Chief Hurley has kept the matter quiet
until now, hoping to catch him. In the
letter Zetlin said: Prepare now for
heaven. for I have got left for you five
more bullets. 1 will soon be there to you.
Cursed inquisitor. black monk. Human
barkener. Bloodhound"
On the receipt Of this letter CHIEF HUI
ley sent photographs to the Baltimore po-
lice. who learned that Zetlin was the man
who wrote the letter at the reading room.
Chief Hurley feels sure that Zetlin was a
companion Of Edmund Gutman. and that
Zetlin came to Boston by boat about ten
days ago.
It IL known that a party of twelve or
fifteen foreigners came here together
about that time. When Edmund Gutman
was surrounded in Forest Hills cemetery
by a Gordon Of police with drawn re-
volvers. who sought him dead or alive. he
took shelter in little clump Of bushes
and wrote a note to Miss L. Mauren, 1904
Warrington street. This farewell missive
led the police today to a conviction that
Gutman sought aid and council from a
woman.
This theory caused a roundup early to-
day of thirteen Lithuanians and Let's In
Jamaica Plain. where the police surrounded
houses and with drawn revolvers arrested
the men whom they suspected were friends
OF Gutman. In the houses were found sew.
eral empty envelopes. date marked
washington" which point to either
Zeltin or Gutman's presence in that city
before the gang reached Boston.
The woman. the police claim, Is one
OF the leaders of the gang. She had not
been found up to a late hour tonight.

PUT CARTRIDGE ON TRACK.
Luzerne Blue Wanted to Hear an
Explosion.

Charged with placing big Springfield
army rifle cartridge on the street car
track last night about o'clock, Luzerne
Blue. eleven years old. who said he lived
at GOT New York avenue. was arrested by
Policeman Cav Of the first precinct sta
ton. He will be arraigned in the Juye-
nile Court tomorrow afternoon.
The boy was taken to the station house.
where he admitted placing the cartridge
on the track. He said he knew other boys
who had done the same thing and IN one
case the cartridge had exploded and badly
wounded q merchant.
The cartridge was examined and found
to be In good condition. The police are of
the opinion that the car wheels did not
come within a half an inch of the capped
end of the shell. to which fact in all prob
ability was due its failure to explode.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July 25-The
honeymoon trip OF Count and Countess
Santa Eulalia. who left New York to-
day for Europe aboard the steamer Car
mania, may be married by announcement
that suit has been brought to contest tho
right Of the countess to her present share
Of the estate OF her late husband John B.
Stetson. millionaire hat manufacturer.
In a clause in the will OF the late PHI
lanthropist. relatives believe they have
good grounds on which to base their suit
Heirs not satisfied with their share OF
the estate assert that before Count Eu-
lalia gave the former Mrs. stetson title
by marrying her he received q large
dowry. II this can be proved. II is said
by those familiar with the will. Stetson's
former widow is in danger OF losing .
large portion OF the estate.
Provisions Of Will.
Mr.. Stetson, 1t Is understood, took pre-
cautions to see that in the event OF his
widow marrying again her husband would
not benefit in any way from the estate
which he left. Heirs who may bring suit
expect to show that Count Eulalia re-
ceived a substantial amount from the for
mer Mrs. Stetson.
Among dissatisfied heirs Of the late mil.
lionaire Is thought to be Mrs. Henry H.
Roelofs, stepdaughter Of the former Mrs.
Stetson.
Mrs. Roelofs, who lives at Rhyllon.
which adjoins Irdo, the Stetson mansion
at Ashbourne, could not be seen today. It
was said she had gone to Barnegat to
consult with relatives on the advisability
of making a legal fight for q larger share
of her fathers estate.
For some time Mrs. Roelofs and her
stepmother, it is said, have not been on
the best of terms. The failure OF the for
mer to attend the wedding Thursday gives
support to the report that Mrs. Roelofs
will seek more Of the estate.
Stepdaughter Dissatisfied.
It is said that Mrs. Roelofs. who was
bequeathed but 100000. protested against
the way in which the estate was distrib-
uted. and that other heirs, to keep the
affair out Of court. gave her a special
award Of $4,000. Before doing so. how
ever. they asked her to sign q release OF
all future claims on the estate.
1t Is reported that Mrs. Roelofs after
more than $114.OOO remained. and that
she is ready to claim q share Of this.
Although the names of the count and
countess were not on the list of cabin pas
sengers who sailed on the Carmania. II IL
said that the couple were positively
aboard and sailed with secrecy In order
to avoid attention. 1t is said the couple
are bound for Portugal, the native coun-
try OF the count.
