country.
Through testimony given by Kieran's
private secretary, William j. Arundel,
yesterday, it was learned that books
and records of the Fidelity Funding
Company and Kieran's private books
and papers had beer placed in safe
deposit vaults here.
Frank /. Croker, representing the
petitioners in bankruptcy, examined
kieran. Moses Shire, of Buffalo, coun-
sci for the defendant, offered a gen.
eral objection to the examination, but
was overruled. In answer to Mr..
Crocker's questions the witness said
he had no existing bank accounts. He
had accounts in banks and trust COM
panies in this city, Buffalo and Pitts
burg up to last September, when he
drew out the balances.
Did you draw out all these balances
about the same time?" asked Mr..
Croker.
Yes answered Kieran..
The witness said he had sent his
private books to his attorney in Buff
falo. Mr.. Kieran said he would pro-
duce the books if his counsel so ad-
vised him. Mr.. Shire objected and the
matter was left in allegiance.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2S.-Mme. Guilia
Giachetti. who came all the way from
Europe to urge her claims on Enrico
Caruso, the tenor, despite the fact that
she had eloped from him with a
chauffeur two years ago. and who sur
prised him at his bath in his rooms
at the Knickerbocker Hotel yesterday
morning, has sailed way from here.
She left the Hotel Navarro early today
with her three big trunks and W men
for the French line pier, from which
the Lorraine sailed at 10 O'Clock.
Her passage had been engaged for
her by the management of the Metro
politan Opera House, from which an
agent had been sent to the French II
to conduct the negotiations. With her
on board was an elderly man with a
dark beard and slightly gray hair,
whose name did not appear. The opera
management had engaged the passage
of both.
Signora Giacchetti is believed to have
landed in New York yesterday morn
ing. At the Knickerbocker Hotel the
signora registered as Gilda Giacchetti,
and she was assigned to a room with
out question. A short while later the
signora began Il search for Caruso. She
encountered the tenor's valet in the
hallway of the hotel, and the man serV-
ant took it.on the run.
Caruso was having a most enjoyable
time in his tub when the valet rushed
in upon him and screamed:
SHE is hera.'
Caruso did not need further eXplana-

Plaza he said he must not be disturbed
by any woman who called herself Ms

increase OF trxstion, And try IN make

are no saloons TO pay the taxes. No

II they did II would only be neces-
sary to 20 as far as Medford to prove
the absurdity OF II. The city tax at
Grants Pass for the coming year has
been fxed at mills, at Medford II
has been nxed at Tx mills, and at
Ashland at II mills. Thus, we see,
that OF the three important places in
the Rogue River Valley the taxes at
Grants Pass are the ligh.est. Med

be because there are saloons there.
