writ of attachment today upon a
trunk full of clothing, moving pic
ture machine and several other ar
tieles belonging to William j. Burns
show manager, who introduced his
attractions at the Dreamland theater
in this city last week.
According To the complainant,
Charles Savage, proprietor of the
Cottage Hotel, Burns left the hostel
ry owing a bill for his keeping, for
which the attachment was made. 1t
also appears from what the officers
and Mr.. Savage has learned, that
the show man had in his employ sew
eral actors, whom he paid TO assist
in the vaudeville performances at
the Dreamland, but when he left
town he also left his actors In desti-
tute circumstances, especially the
ladies, who we're compelled to leave
their suitcases and clothing with Mr..
Savage in order to reach Portland,
whene they could obtain assistance
financially.
The attached property is being

RELATIVES
HELD FOR
MURDER

Newark, N. j., Dec. 22.-Mrs.
Caroline Martin, mother. and Mrs.
Wardlaw, aunt of the dead girl,
were held today by the grand jury
for the death of Mrs Snead.
Mrs. Ocey Snead was found dead
in bath tub in what is kniwn as
1.-The house of mystery" in East Or
ange on Nov. 81. Drowning was
given as the cause of the death By

Miss Virginia Wardlaw, the aunt,
Detectives, however, were suspicious
and arrested Miss Wardlaw when 1t
became known that the dead woman
carried $4,000 insurance on her
life, made in favor of Miss Wardlaw,
Mrs. Martin, the mother, and Mrs.
Mary Enead, an aunt, and that
money to pay the premiums had
been borrowed by the three old wo-
men but a short time before Mrs.
Ocey Snead is supposed to have been
murdered.
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Mary Snead
disappeared at the time of the find
ing of the body, and it was not until
nearly two weeks later that they were
found and placed in jail.
Through an attorney the three old
women issued a statement declaring
their innocence and stating that Mrs
Ocey Snead had committed suicide
after brooding over ill-heaith.
The police were unable to find
Fletcher w. Snead, husband of the
dead woman, though a continuous
search was made for him from the
time of the discovery of the batf
tub mystery.
Physicians who attended Mrs
Ocey Snead during an illness som'

MARKETS
STRONGER

New York, Dec. 22.-There was q
further advance in the loaning rate
for call loans to six per cent, and
this brought out considerable long
stuff, and stopped a market that
was showing a fair degree of activi-
ty.
While the closing of securities was
in most instances higher than yes
terday, some depression was forced
at the closing because OF the tighter
money market.
The increase of one-half per cent

well as preferred, was one of the
chief aids to the market in the early
trading.

where he went. He emerged from

a determination to make bold claim
