ACCOLA WANTED
FOR BIG FRAUDS
Eastern Business Firms Accuse
Man Under Arrest in San
Francisco
AIIege That He and an Accom-
pIice Worked Extensive
BunkO Game

In the arrest of Earl Accola, which
was effected Monday by United States
Postal Inspector James OConnell and
Detective Timothy Reardon of the local
department, the federal authorities be-
lieve they have captured one of the
two men who fiimfiammed several
large business houses in different sec
tions of the United States during the
last year Accola, together with Fred
E. wolff, was indicted by the Chicago
grand Jury March on several counts
charging him with having used the
mails to carry on a fraud: Accola left
Chicago the day the indictments were
returned Since that time the police
throughout the country have been
searching for him. He came to San
Francisco and was captured when he
called for his mail at thegeneral de-
livery window of the locaIspostoffice.
According to the federal officers
Accola and Wolff did business under
the firm name of George E. Anderson
& Co. There is a reputable mail order
house in Chicago which has a name
similar to the one used by Accola and
Wolf. Among the concerns which
were victimized were Max Platt & Co.,
113 Division street. New York; the
Winona fur and glove company.
Winona, Mimi. and the Northern fur
and manufacturing company Of Minne-
apolis.
Owing to the fact that there was a
reputable business firm in Chicago of
similar name to the one under which
the two men did business many bust
ness houses sent large orders of cloth
ing. furniture, silverware, etc. to the
pair.
Accola appeared before United States
Commissioner Heacock yesterday after
noon and was ordered held in $1,000
bonds pending preliminary examina-
tion this afternoon. Wolff was cap
tured by the federal officers in Chi
cago. Both men will be taken before
the grand jury for trial. The three
complainants mentioned in the indict-
ment allege that Wolff and Accola OBJ
tanned several thousand dollars worth
of goods from them

How to Grow Plum.

1t Is the UNIVERSAL rule, says MrA
Scanlon, that wives of successful men
are fat. If they are not, she asserts.
1t Is proof positive that they do not
love their husbands. A fat girl, says
Mrs. Scanlon, has all the best OF the
thin, willowy creatures, In showiness.
In disposition and In temperament
Mrs. Scanlon hits obesity cures a hard
blow by thus declaring that to be hap
py women must be fat.
THE reason Ii plain" declares Mrs..
Scanlon. 1.-THE wives of the successful
men are fat because they are not wor-
ried about the next months rent ana
the children's clothes. People who pity
fat women simply show their ipnor-
ance; women who complain because
they are stout make themselves un-
happy when they should be the happi-

victims of the wiles Of the fair charm
err, who as the wife of Colonel Ather-
ton brought disgrace upon him and be-
came the talk Of the army during their
residence in Cape Town while her hus-

Westminster was one of Captain Yarde-
Buffers predecessors in her affections.
King Edward summoned him home to
marry the present Duchess of West
minister and break off with Mrs. Ath-
erton. Yarde- Butler fell into the same
pitfall. He wrote letters processing I'M
dying love, promised to wed Mrs. Ath-
erton, and married Miss Denise Orme,
actress. Then he learned the fury of a
woman scorned. His counsel, desiring
to end the case, readily admitted the
promise to marry, and the captain must
pay the costs, but no damages.

His Way Home.

A nervous man on his lonely home

delphia Public Ledger, heard the echo

visions Of hold-up men and garrotera
coursed through his brain The faster
he walked the more the man behind
increased his speed, and although the
nervous one took the most roundabout
and devious course he could devise
still his tracker followed. At last he
turned into a churchyard.

"there can be no doubt about his In.

The man behind did follow, and quiv.
erning with fear and rage, the nervous
one turned and confronted him.

distinctly useful &c string prop" to en-
able the vloinist to play simultaneous
ly on three strings of his instrument.
whereas heretofore 1t has been posi-
Bile for him to play sustained chords Of
two notes only at time Thus the do
minion of the liking OF instruments~
will be extended into the realm Of har-
mony as we'll as Of melody.
The new device itself is small
wedge shaped piece of bridge wood in
serted on the violin bridge under the
G string. Its dimensions, while de-
pendent to some extent on the height Of
the bridge on the particular violin on
which 1t Is to be used and the charac-
ter Of the music to be played. are ordi-
narlly as follows: Thickness, 3-64 Of
an inch; length, x Of nm inch: width,
$40 Of an inch, or slightly less. The
hypothenuse Of the prop Is curved to
fit smoothly on the bridge of the vio-
lin, and notch for the G string Is also
made. To erect the device on the violin
Is an easy matter, 1t being only neces-
sary to turn down the G string about
tone, to insert the prop underneath
and then to tune up the string With
care. In effect it becomes a component
part of the bridge itself, but it can al
ways be easily removed.
This method Of elevating che G just
enough to be sounded simultaneously
with the D and A strings takes away
the mechanical obstacle that Ole Bull
managed to overcome by means Of fiat
bridge and his remarkable tours de
force, but which no other violinist has
attempted to cope with.
That this method Of playing is en-
tirely novel Is evidenced by the fact
that all works on orchestration have
stated that sustained chords on the vio-
q lin are restricted to two notes and that
three and four voiced chords must be
played as arpeggios. But a new and
beautiful effect is now placed at the
command of the violinist, although 1t ID
true that there are few compositions In
which use has been made of the posn-
bllitles Of writing beautiful chords on
; the three lower strings Of the violin.
De Beriot has notable passage in his
| fifth concerto. But 1t remains chiefly
for future composers Of music for the
violin to enlarge the present excellent
repertory of the violin with compost
lions containing violin harmony.
The inventor has refrained from pat-
enting his device In order to make u
more obtalnable by violinistA
