WOMAN RIDES IN AUTO
TO FACE THEFT CHARGE

NEW YORK, July 1I.-Under the
belief that she was held for further
examination before Magistrate Breen
in the Jefferson Market Court. Mrs.
Abner Mellen, aged sixty-eight. and
living in handsome home at 81 Riv-
erside Drive. arrived with her daugh-
ter, Evelyn. and two men at the mag
istrate's private entrance to the court
shortly after 10 o'clock wednesday,
morning, only to be told that she was
not wanted and that her case would
come up before the Court of Special
Sessions.
Without leaving the automobile. she
was whirled away to a train for the
country, where she will take n long
rest.
The case of Mrs. Mellen is remark
able. She is reputed to be worth a
quarter of a million dollars. Articles.
amounting in value to about a dollar
were found in her bag when she was
arrested by Mrs. Brew. a special lie
tective in department store.
The intense heat acting on the
naturally nervous temperament of this
woman made her forgetful and she
put the articles into her bag" explain
ed one of the men who accompanied
her to court He said he was Mr..
Warren. an ex-judge from upstate.
He told a reporter for the World
hat Mrs. Mellen would go away in
the hope that the incident would be
'orgotten and that she would regain
her lost health.
After her arrest Tuesday. Mrs. Mel
len gave her name as Mrs. Smith. OF
Monticello. But this was proved false
by the woman detective. who said
the prisoner was a regular customer
At the store and that she had q de
post account there in which she car
ried more than 500 under the name
Of Mellen.
Magistrate Breen held her in $500
bail, which she was allowed TO draw
from her account in the department
store. Mrs. Mellen said at that time
that she would not appear again. bl
would forfeit the money given as bail

INDIANS USE THUMB
PRINTS TO SIGN DEED

KANSAS CITY, July 1.-THE thumb
print of the Bertillon system is sup
planting the old style ~" with the
added words his mark" A dozen
heirs of Peter the Great, a Pottawa-
tonne Indian chief who died fifteen
years ago in Mayetta, Kan, used this
method of attaching their signatures
to a deed of sale which must be
signed by eighty-four of the chiefs
heirs in order to make the sale valid.
Each of the dozen heirs who was
unable to write pressed the thumb Of
his right hand upon an ink pad and
made a thumb mark opposite his
name.
The deed was taken to the clerk of
the District Court Of WNandotte coun-
ty in order that Fred A. Bracken, ash
Ter of the First State Bank of Kansas
City, Kan, might be given authority
to obtain signatures of heirs living in
Kansas City, Kan.
Peter the Great, chief of the Potta-
watomieS, had 120 acres of land, but no
settlement of his estate was attempted
until James ID. Blanden, of Mayetta,
offered eighteen months ago to pay
$4,000 for the chiefs farm if all the liv-
ing heirs could be found and induced
to sign the deed, so that the title would
be clear.
Attorneys for Mr.. Blanden and for
the heirs continued the hunt eighteen
lures of descendants living in Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
Indiana. Only four heirs have not
signed, and it was to get the signatures
of two who live here that the deed was
sent here.

ing on the charge of stealing $6.9S

for several days at the Oriental Hotel,
Manhattan Beach were arrested by
Ida Spillane, a store detective, We'd
nesday afternoon. She told the mag
istrate she had noticed the two with a
little girl. Mercedes Mccoy, six years
old, but on account of their dress did
not think them anything else but good
customers. Then she said she saw
what caused her to speak to the wo-
men. She took them to a back room,
searched them and found, she says.

(From the Pittsylvania TrihuneN

The logical successor to the lament
ed Daniel in the United States Senate
is Swanson, and he will doubtless
receive the appointment, which is in
the power of Governor Mann. Mr.
Swanson is eminently qualified to fill
the position, as much so as any states
man in Virginia, and we would be
glad to see the honor extended to
him.
When a man of note passes away
1t frequently happens that many in
cidents of his career are brought to
light which may or may not have
been previously mentioned, but which
when he has gone beyond recall, are
of interest to his admirers and have
a greater significance then than pre-
viously.
Such an incident. according TO a let
ter in Mondays Times-Dispatch from
Gettysburg, was told by Rev. J. Cleve-
land Hail. of Danville, regimental
chaplain to members of the First Vir-
ginia Regiment on Sunday afternoon
in the camp of instruction concerning
the late Senator Daniel. The story,
while based on facts, has several in
accuracies. 1t is as follows:
Narrative of the Chaplain.
1T has always been we'll known to
the people of Virginia that Senator
Daniel was a poor man, but it is not
generally known that he at one time
called a conference OF one or two
friends and an attorney to discuss the
situation. The men sat together in
the Senator's home and tried to bring
some sort of order out of the chaos.
while the conference was proceed
ing. said DR.. Hall, some mail arrived,
which Senator Daniel opened. When
ne saw one of the letters he started.
His face turned white with the men
tai struggle that followed.
Then he exhibited the letter. 1t
was from an organization which, said
DIR. Hall, you business men call a
trust 1T briefly stated that at times
the concern needed legal advice, and
while it did not especially want an at
torney at the moment, il would be
glad to have the Senator on the list
and to have him accept a retaining
fee. Enclosed was a New York draft
for $4,000. At the time there was
pending i'm Congress some legislation
which would affect this concern.
Twenty thousand dollars in the
hands of a ruined man, actually with
in his grasp" exclaimed DR.. Hall.
What would you have done with it?
What did he do? He put the letter
with its enclosure in an envelope, d.
