when hits were needed to score

Tacoma, on the other hand, had
all sorts of chances to win the
game but no one was able to come

Blankenship had bad day.
His errors started the enemy and
finally he was spiked in the top of

tate operator. clerk in a fashionable
st Louis hotel and the SON in-law of
a multimillionaire manufacturer of

night aboard the steamer st. Paul, a
prisoner.
He was arrested in France at the re-
quest of the police authorities of ST.
Louis charged with falsely endorsing
a check for $4,000, though his alleged
swindling operations, 1t has been stat
ed. would reach a much larger sum
Fortner, in view of the long chase
he had given the st. Louis police. was
kept a close prisoner even on ship
board. When taken aboard the liner
at Cherbourg he was placed in the hos
pital of the ship and there he was kept
until the st. Paul docked tonight.
Fortner was clerk at the Hotel JEFF
ferson in st. Louis and there met and
ymarried Miss Kathryn Handle, daugh-
ter of a millionaire manufacturer. He
quit the hotel job and went into the
real estate business He was supposed
to be doing "a big business until he
left suddenly and his alleged swindles
were unearthed, revealing tangled
state of affairs. His wife is expected
to stand by him, according to reports,
for the sake of their 2-year- old child.
According to the St Louis officers,
Fortner absolutely denies his guilt.
The prisoner made the same denial
when questioned here last night, but
refused to go into details OF his case.

being made to learn rhe identity of
two masked men who turned the trick.
Early today the robbers stopped an
automobile in which ]. d. Marsh and
Ed Watson were riding, accompanied
by Miss F. Marsh and Miss Woolsey,
and at revolver points compelled the
men to surrender their valuables.
Then the robbers covered the auto
mobiles lamps with their coats and
awaited the arrival Of an interurban
car. ..s ST.. .-r.
The car was signalled by the high
wayrnen, who clambered aboard and
robbed the trainmen and half a dozen

them to a nearby railroad.

PLUNGER in Steel
ENGLISH MONARCH Is RuMoRED
TO HAVE REALIZED 100000
IN TRANSACTION.

New York. Aug. s.---one of those
''unconfirmed reports bobbed up in
Wall street this afternoon to the eff
feet that King Edward OF England had
made winning OF more than $1,000
600 in United States Steel common.
The ruruor was based on the fact that
J. p. Morgan, who is supposed to know
all there is to be known OF steel, has
been entertained at Windsor castle by
the king while abroad and that an
order to buy $4,000 shares of steel
common coming apparently from an
English source was executed when the
market was at from so to So recently.
The stock sold today at 76A and
those who credited the English mon
arch with the deal estimated that he
realized s1,000,000 on the transaction.
The report could not, of course, be
confirmed from any reliable source.
