TRUSTED WOMAN'S EMBEZZLEMENT
 MAY REACH $3,OOO

Mrs. Margaret Morrison was repre- scented by Robert G. DeF'orest this morning in the City court when she was arraigned on a charge of embez- zling large amount from the Tolman Loan Agency in Cannon street, for which she was cashier. The attorney demurred to the complaint and the ac- cuSed was bound over to the Superior court and the bond was fixed at 3D. 900.
 Investigation of the books of the con- cern discloses a much larger amount missing than was at first supposed. It is estimated by the Holman people that at least $3, 900 has been taken from the agency by an elaborate system of false charges and erasures.
 The woman is bonded by a New York security company for g, 900. She was in charge of the agency in this city and carried on her peculations at will for over a year. The attention of the company was called to the shortage by the claims of borrowers that they had not received credit for payments they had made.
 It is also stated that Mrs. Morrison was the victim of a sympathetic heart and that she helped out her friends who were in trouble from the receipts of the loan office.

JACK SAVED FROM THE
 POTTERS' FIELD

The friends of Tattooed Jack Starl- ing, in Smiths and Polls theatres, aided by outsiders, have raised a fund sufficient to pay his funeral expenses and the suicide will not be buried in the Potter's field. The. remains are still at the morgue of Rourke & Rourke, 1295 Main street, where the funeral will take place. The wife of the suicide was detained at police head quarters yesterday afternoon until the medical examiner, Dr. F. B. Downs, rendered his decision that death was due to self-inflicted wounds.
 The wound in the left wrist of the suicide while large enough to cause death eventually. did not allow enough blood to escape at one time to cause speedy inconsistencies. The man must have patiently awaited the sum- mons for hours as his blood slowly oozed out of the wound.
 Starling had frequently asserted that he would do away with himself. What's the. use," he said, I'm no good to myself or to anyone else. It costs me so much to buy dope that there's nothing left to support my wife"

SULTAN RETAINS THRONE BUT YOUNG TURKS
 THE REAL RULERS
Special from United Press,


 London, April 21.-Confidential in formation from war office sources to- day is to the effect that the Sultan has reached an agreement with the Young Turks by which he will be per mftted to retain his throne butNwill be shorn of every vestige of power. Under the arrangement which the war office hears has been effected, com mittee of Young Turks will be the real rulers of the country and will so con- trol affairs that a Reactionary move ment similar to that responsible for the present uprising will be impossible in the future.
 Two things are said to have finally decided the Young Turks not to force the abdication-inability to prove con- clusively that Abdul was responsible for the recent mutiny and veneratfon for the Moslem faith which prohibits the deposition of a Sultan on any ground except that of insanity.
 It is conceded that the Young Turks are in a position to enforce the most extreme demands. and their toleration in the present crisis is declared here to be the greatest evidence of states manship that has ever been shown by the Mohammedan race. As proof, however, that London is not satisfied underwriters declare they are still hay ing difficulty regarding insurance.
 London. April 21.-The Exchange Telegraph's Constantinople correspond dent telegraphs that the Young Turks and the Sultan have reached a de- finite agreement whereby the Sultan remains on the throne but the Cabinet resigns immediately.
 Private messages from ConStanti- nople bear out the Exchange Tele- graph dispatches. They are to the effect that the government. having reached an agreement with the Young Turks. has sent needed provisions to the army camped just outside the city and is preparing barracks for the sol diers' use when they enter the city.

FI.ARE-UP WHEN LAWYERS CLASH
 AT BAR HEARING
Continued from First Page.)


 I thought of him. I realized that it was blackmail but I would have given him $90 if he demanded it for knew that if he went to Garfield would be dragged up here because of some thing that happened some time ago which Mir Canfield knows about.''
 Then followed the conversation be- tween Attorneys Fallon and Garfield as told at the opening of this arti- cle.
 Attorney Fallon then exhibited a re- ceipt which was signed by Mrs. Mo Grath to whom he paid the $9, which receipt stated in effect that the attor- ney was paying the amount not be- cause he considered he wase obliged to do so but because he did not care to invite further trouble while the other cases against him were pending before the Bar committee.
 John Rogers, inventor, and president of the Automatic Air Compressor Co.,, testified that he was in MT. Fallon's office the day McGrath and his wife called, and he testified to snatches of g. conversation he heard between the attorney and McGrath. MT. Fallon, he said, told McGrath that he was a liar and that he knew he had paid him every cent he was entitled to under the agreement, and that his coming there was because he knew that the attorney was in trouble with the Bar committee. He said he heard MT. Fal- lon refer to the visit as outrageous and that he heard the attorney when he dictated the receipt to his steno- grapher which Mrs. McGrath signed. Before McGrath went away he said he heard Attorney Fallon denounce him as a bare faced liar and told him never to come to his office again.
 General Frost questioned both Mr. Rogers and Attorney F'allon about the place where the receipt Mrs. McGrath signed was dictated, as he understood MT. Fallon to say it was done in a pri- vate room which agreed with what Mrs. McGrath said, while MT. Rogers said it was done in the outside office where he was sitting at@the time. The committee took the papers in the case If they find that the evidence war rants it they will make a presentment to the Superior court, but otherwise the case will drop.

BOUGHT A GIRL
 FOR SEVEN DOLLARS
Police Believe that An Elab- crate System of White Slavery Has Been Un- earthed.

An aftermath of the arrest of Rose Clark for conducting house of ill., fame at the corner of Water and Gil, bert streets, is the arrest of Isador Soloman this afternoon. Soloman is charged with bringing Rosa Kuhn to this city Monday and taking her to the house of ill-repute at 84 State street, conducted by the Clark woman. The Kuhn woman is 26 years old and speaks very little English.
 She asserts that Soloman met her at IA Rivington street, New York, and induced her stO come to this city on the promise that he would marry her. It is claimed that Soloman bought the girl for $7 from the woman who con- ducted the boarding house in Riving- ton street. People who took an dn- terest in the girl today raised enough money to pay her fare to New York. The circumstances came to the atten- ton of Supt. Birmingham who sent Patrolrnen Ladd and Barney Glennon to intercept the girl. She was found at the station ready to go to New York, and was brought to headquarters.
 The policemen proceeded to the house on Gilbert street operated by the Clark woman. The women who were releas- ed from the city court this morning on bonds, met the officers at the door and trolman Glennon followed them on the run to prevent them from giving any one in the house a tip. but Soloman took alarm and ran down the back stairs where he was apprehended by Patrolman Ladd as he was trying to scale the rear fence.
 The police believe they have unearth- ed a system of white slavery and that the Clark woman has been the clear ing house for girls brought here from out of town.
 Late this afternoon Capt. Arnold had Soloman and the girl in his office ques- tioning them. The affair. will probably result in the Clark woman being driv- en out of the town if not imprisoned.

 We said to him: ''Make up those odd lengths into tasteful suits. Make them up in your usual excellent way. Make them in the best styles you know. Line them rightly. Tailor them with the care you always put into your work. Then we will take them, along with those sam pie suits.
