Clever Detectiue Work
Lands a Big SuomdZer
Only Unnamed Hotel in Unknown
City to Furnish Clue TO the
Persistent Manhunters

I'D ERLIN, Nov. 4.-Martin Kaufman
II of New York, was arrested to-
night by Former United States
Postoffice Inspector Henry c. Hill, on
the charge of frauds amounting to
100000 in connection with the Cot
ton Goods Converters company of
New York
Kaufman was for a long time con
sidered one of the most trustworthy
business men of New York. His part
ner, NJ. A. Isaacs, had such implicit
confidence in his integrity that, ac-
cording to him, he induced number
of his friends to take shares in the
business.
The business proceeded satisfactor-
lily for six months until Cincinnati
merchant named Blum who had in
vested in the company, asked a Gus
toner to settle an outstanding account
which the customer declared was not
due. An investigation of the COM
pany's accounts followed and resulted
in the discovery of a number of falsi-
fled entries amounting to $107, 900.
Kaufman in the meantime had dis
appeared.
Some of the stockholders held
Isaacs morally responsible, but he
gave his check for the total amount
missing.
The New York Credit Mems associa-
tion took up the matter and had Kauf-
man indicted. Postoffice Inspector
Hill was placed in charge of the case.
1t was known that Kaufman had
sailed for Europe, but no clew could
be found until his wife, who is in
business in Lawrence, Mass, dropped
a paper containing photograph of a
hotel. Neither the name of the hotel
nor the name of the city was men
toned, but window was marked and
above it were the words, This is my
ROOM" in Kaufmann's handwriting.
After many difficulties the hotel was
located in Vienna, where Kaufman

of a
Rule Causes
Riot

HICAGO, Nov. 4.-Mild efforts to
eliminate smoking on the trains
of the Chicago & Oak Park Ele-
waited railway were succeeded today
by stern measures. Men who insisted
on smoking were given back their
fares and asked to leave the train.
If they refused, private detectives
elected them. The matter will prob
ably go to the courts.
A small riot. in which two men We're
injured, accompanied the election of
one of the passengers. The trouble
started when an elderly man entered
a car at the Forty-fourth avenue sta
tion, smoking a cigar. When the con-
ductor told him he was violating a
rule of the company, the smoker re-
piled that he was violating no city
ordinance.
At the next station the conductor
called on the private detectives for
assistance. The latter started to drag
their prisoner from the train when
other passengers interfered. The Of
ficers drew their revolvers and forced
the crowd back.
J. d. Attley, a lumberman, was
nearly forced through a window and
was badly cut by breaking glass.
Former Alderman Joseph H. Francis
was forced from the car platform and
fell to the tracks, escaping death on
the heavily charged third rail by only
a few inches.

exhibition at the Steinheil home, to-
gether with pieces of a visiting card
of Nine. Maseline, with the name of
customer written, which Nine. Stein
he'll asserts was dropped by fleeing
assassins.
Responding to question as to
whether it was at the home of Nine.
Maseline at Havre, she met Felix
Faure, the prisoner replied
No, it was during trip to the
Alps"
The judge did not pursue this line
of inquiry further.
Owing to the many trying ordeals
of the day and the fatigue which the
prisoner showed, her lawyer asked for
an early adjournment and the hearing
was brought to a close by the judge
referring to the accusation against
Frederick Harrison Birmingham, an
American newspaper man, but the
prisoner persisted that she had never
definitely accused him, but had only
said he resembled one of the as
SaSSinS.
A summary of the evidence shows
that the judge failed to shake Nine.
Steinheil's original version of the
crime. She admitted intrigue but
heatedly denied she sent her mother
to solicit money from her lovers and
and she insisted her husband had
never profited by her own immoral
life. Admitting doing wrong, she be-
seeched the judge to pardon her
faults, She defended herself by say.
ing that since she did. not live with
her husband as his wife, she longed
for sympathy and love.
When confronted with inconsistent
cies in her stories, she justified them
by saying she had lost her head when
harassed by journalists and detectives
and had thus been led to believe that
those whom she had accused were
perhaps guilty.
The judge led her again and again
over the story of the crime and after
suggesting that she had probably
worked ont fantastic plot in which
she introduced red bearded men and
a red-haired woman, taken from books
or adopted from some similar crime
she had read in her youth, confronted
her with the charges of having dyed
her dressing gowns after the murder

N ARIS, Nov. 4.-Dramatic situations
followed fast one upon another
in court today where the trial
of Nine Marguerite Steinheil, accused
of having murdered her husband and
her step-mother, Nine Japy. was con
tinued.
AS on the opening day of the sem
sational case, all Paris was wrought
to- a high tension over the promises

Nine. Steinheil was again on the
stand, dressed in a mourning gown.
a dramatic though pathetic figure,
fighting hard for life, and in the midst
of her inquisition by the presiding
judge, her attorney, M. Aubin. with
melodramatic effect, suddenly pushed
to the forefront a man, who, he said,
wished to confess he had taken part
in the murders of which Nine. Stein
he'll was charged. M. Aubin read q
letter signed Jean Lefevre," asking
that he be permitted to confess and
then he pointed at the man, and said,
This is Jean Lefevre."
Nine. Steinheil gazed at him wearily
and after he had made a rambling
statement in which he said that, dis
guised as a woman and wearing a
Wig of red hair, he had helped commit
he murders, she declared she could
not identify him as one of the muir
derers whom she had previously de-
scribed.
The presiding judge promptly or
dered Lefevre's arrest and the inves-
tigation of his statement A search
of the man disclosed two photographs,
one of Nine. Steinheil, and the other
of the public square where the crime
was committed. Lefevre was locked
up as a vagabond.
The police thus far are inclined to
believe the mans self accusation be-
longs in the category of incidents well
known to criminologists in which a
man become half crazed by reading Of
the criminals and fancying he is in
love with the prisoner, has resolved
to sacrifice himself for a fascinating
woman. Lefevre's description of the
crime coincided with the original YER
sion upon which Nine. Steinheil now
insists.

NOT RECOGNIZED
Claims of Peary Cannot Be Given

EA1 ASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Refusing
wv to be drawn into the Cook
Peary north pole controversy,
the state department today declined a
request that it cable American Minis
ter Egan at Copenhagen, to request
OF the University of Copenhagen per-
mission to examine the records Of DR..
Frederick A. Cook, when they are sub
mitted to that institution.
The request was made by a delega-
ton from the National Geographic So
ciety which will appoint a committee
to visit the foremost Danish scientific
institution to which DR.. Cook is to
submit his records. The desire to
have the request go through the Off
clal channels was. made at a confer
ence between Assistant Secretary of
State Huntington Wilson and Messrs.
Gannett, the governments chief geo.
grapher; Edshon, former president of
the board of trade of Washington:
Grosvenor, editor of the official or
gan of the society; Gore, and Col
Vile, all prominent members of the
National Geographical society.
The request was on the ground that
the examination would be by scient-
lists of attainment, particularly valu-
able in the adjustment of the polar
problem.
The department took the request
under advisement and later decided it
could not accede to it. 1t was felt
such action would constitute official
recognition of Commander Peary as
q 0o inc np Nnn1y hof
ual action of its part might be inter
preted as an Endorsement of the claim
of one or the other of the two explor-
ers as to the priority of discovery. The
department has notified Secretary
Grosvenor of it's attitude.
Members of the committee, which
will go to Copenhagen for the Geo
graphic society, will be provided with
the usual letters of introduction from
the state department to the American
diplomatic officers abroad asking that
the committee be given all courtesies
or assistance possible consistent with
the official duties of a diplomatic
character Letters of this kind are
frequently issued to citizens travelling
abroad.
A determined effort will be made by
the committee to secure accurate data.
DR.. Cook will be afforded every oppor-I
tunity to place his records or any in
formation bearing on the trip, by the

pointment will communicate with him
