nish $50 Bail

John Temple Grayson spent last
night in place from which he would
not be elected because he registered

the city prison, under the name of
Fred Wilcox, on charge of defraud-
ing Fred w. Durner, owner of au auto
mobile, of a fare. He was unable to
furnish $50 cash bail necessary to Sc
cure his liberty. What had become of
Miss Sepulveda, the beautiful cloak
model who figured in Grayson's recent
eviction from the St Francis and Manx
hotels, is a matter for conjecture.

OF the late Daniel Turner, so long con-

Divorce Is RumOred

Divorce Is RumOred
=. For the past two months the beauti-
'suL Margaret Ellington has spent the
:: greater part OF her time in Califor-
mia. She was known here for her excep-
:tlonauly talented work in The Thief"
which was played last summer at the
...1-an Ness theater. During that visit
.her manager husband was with her.
r:and the couple won the encomiums Of
F. the domestic loving by their apparent
.leverlike relations.
=. But when Miss Ellington returned to
YaIifornia recently and registered at
.=the St Francis hotel alone gossip had
: it that she and Frohman were about TO
separate During the time Frohmsn
sent daily kilograms and letters urging
his wife to return to the east. She
gave it out that she had TO retire
from the stage on account Of her
health that the nervous strain caused
. by the emotions brought into play in
such dramas as The Thief" broke
down her health. She declared that
hence1orth she would seek domestic
bliss. She did not hint that she would
seek it under another roof than Froh-
mans.
After short stay in San Francisco
and Pasadena Miss nlington returned
to New York. There were Billiards in
:the streets and possibly stressful eli
matte conditions inside at the Frohman

. shortly to California. At first she went

Not His Only Pen Name
Fred Wilcox" is not the only pen"
name that Grayson had occasion to use
during the week. After being arrested
as Fred Wilcox he was let out on bail
which was subsequently, Cancelled, and
later he was taken up as Phillip
Thompson on a charge of drunkenness.
Grayson had his troubles at the St.
Francis on Thursday night of last week
and on Friday night he was elected
from the Hotel Manx, where he had
registered with Miss sepulveda as Nh.
and Mrs. F. w. Wilcox.
He appeared in public Saturday night
Of last week. He engaged an automo-
bile in front of the cafe at Fourth and
Market streets, but his money ran out
too soon Dutner, the owner of the
car, had him arrested on a charge of
defrauding him of fare Grayson was
taken to the city prison.
Gives Real Vocation
He had not yet shed the role of Fred
Wilcox he had assumed at the Hotel
Manx and he gave that name to the
desk sergeant. He gave his profession
as that of mining engineer, which. by
q coincidence, is his real vocation. On
Monday Grayson. alias Wilcox. appeared
before Judge Weller. His case was
continued until Thursday Then some
friends put up $50 for his release on
bail and he made his getaway.
Retirement in the city prison proved
irksome to young man of Grayson's
temperament. When he secured his re-
lease he started vigorously to celebrate
freedom. By Friday he had reached
the water front saloons and the good
clothes which had gisen him an easy
entry into the st. Francis had been re-
placed by blue overals and jumper.
Grayson asserted that he had been
robbed of his money and clothes He
declared that he was an army man.
Saw Dawn's Early Light
The night was passed in water front
resorts. Early yesterday morning Po-
liceman Casey found Grayson in the
middle of East street under strong al
cohonc and hereditary Influences sing
ing "oh, say. can you see by the dawn's
early light"
Casey nabbed Grayson in the middle
of his ode and took him to the harbor
station, where he was charged with be-
ing drunk in a public place. He then
gave the name of Philip Thompson and
his occupation as a laborer. He ap-
peared before Judge Conlan yesterday
morning and was found guilty and or
dered to appear for sentence on Mon
day without bail.
The Thompson incident disposed of
for the time being, Grayson was taken
before Judge Weller under the name Of
WiIcox. The friends who had put up
tile $50 bail refused to become security
for him any longer and he was ordered
into custody on the charge of defraud- j
ing burner and the case continued.

The way Of the transgressor is hard.
Z. NJ. strauss. who defrauded the Hen

Strauss was a representative OF the Dun

while in Omaha passed two pieces Of worth
less paper on the Henshaw, each being
for the sum OF so. One was a draft
drawn on a Kansas City bank and the
other was a check on his company, TO
which he forged the siEnature Of the firms

After eashinK the worthless paper here
he paid his hotel bill with the money he
secured from the manager and went TO
Council Bluffs. From there he went 70
