VIENNA, April 1O.-After leav-
ing a trail of debts amounting in
the aggregate to nearly two mil
lion dollars, Fritz Reicher, king
of the usurers," today is believed
by the authorities to be fleeing in
disguise to America.
Reicher, who is regarded as the
greatest European stock plunger
of recent years, speculated heavily
upon the probability of a war in
the Balkans.
He operated on the bear side of
the market and faced ruin when
Russia withdrew her tentative
support from Servia and gave to
Europe assurances of peace.
Reicher, as soon as he foresaw
the failure of his plans, fed from
Austria, leaving hundreds of notes
alleged to bear false signatures.
Reicher began as small money
lender but his daring speculations
placed him on plane with
Europe's leading financiers, and
many rich Europeans trusted him
with their money for investment.

NEW CLUE TO
KIDNAPPED
BOY

A new clue to the whereabouts
of little Cecil Britton, who was
kidnapped two years ago in Walla
Walla, has been obtained by Ia
coma man who today notified the
Britton fmily of the fact. The
Tacoma man, however, desires his
name withheld for the present.
The boy is said to be held in Idaho
and is in the care of an old wom-
an whopresumably was not con-
nected with the kidnapping.
Cecil Britton was four years
old when he was mysteriously
stolen. A search was immediate
ly instituted and has never since
been dropped by the distracted
parents. Scores of clues were
investigated but each proved mis-
leading. The place where the
boy is now supposed to be is only
200 miles from Walla Walla, but
no railroad goes to the place.

After writing the above note
and purchasing an automatic re-
volver and a box of .32 caliber
cartridges, Millard A. Spellman,
10 years old, employed as a col
lector by the Tacoma Ledger,
shot himself through the head at
the home of Miss Lila White, 4334
South L street, about $50 o'clock
last evening.
Two Shots Fired.
The White family was at sup
of young Spellman's act until this
morning when his body was
found in an outbuilding on the
premises. Two shots were fired,
the first failed to strike the head,
and passed through the boards of
the building. The second shot,
however. bored directly through
the suicides right temple and
plunged through the left side of
his head.
Cause Is a Mystery.
No definite cause for the act can
be found, as the young man has
always borne good character
and his collections have been ac-
counted for to the last cent. He
bought the automatic revolver
yesterday afternoon for SIS at a
downtown store, went to South
Tacoma to collect few bills and
returned to Miss Whites home
about $50 o'clock, slipping in the
rear gate and into the outbuilding.
Mrs. White Finds Body.
Although the family heard the
shots fired and rushed into the
back yard, to locate the source of
the reports, they did not think OF
looking in the outbuilding, and
returned to the supper table. Mrs.
White, mother of the girl, found
the body at s o'clock this morn
; ing.
Underwent Operation.
The young man underwent an
operation for a mastoid abscess
eighteen months ago, and was i'll
for several months afterward. DR..
Shaver advanced the theory to-
day that temporary arrangement
of the mind may have resulted
from the operation. Friends say
that young Spellman has acted
slightly different since the opera
tion, and some believe that a bone
pressing on the base of the brain
produced an hallucination which
resulted in his self-destruction.
Former High School Boy.
Young Spellman was a former
High school boy and had large
number of friends in Tacoma. He
has lived with his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. e. G. Spellman, sos
North M street, all his life. For
the last eight months he had been
in constant company with Miss
White, who is 10 years old and a
very pretty young woman. The
shock. nearly drove Miss White
and Mrs. Spellman, the young
mans mother, into nervous pros
tration when the news was broken
to them today.
