sending of girls to his fictitious no.
tel.
At the first named agency he
gave his name as R. A. Russell,
while at the other two he signed
the shipping order as R. A. Rob
erts.
The women were to have been
advanced their fares to Loon Lake,
but when they arrived at the train,
Roberts or Russell, was not to be
found and they paid their own
fares.
NO SUCH HOTEL.
At the lake town they were told
by A. McNorris, the postmaster, J.
w. Dunlap, storekeeper, and Evan
Morgan, a well known rancher of
that section that nothing was
known of Russell or his hotel, and
1t was suggested to them that they
had been sent up for other pur-
poses than hotel work.
The police are working on the
supposition that Roberts, or Rus
sell, was trying to land the women
in a town where they would be I'M
able to return, and that they would
then have been approached by an
agent who would have attempted
to- induce them to enter into the
life of the underworld as way out
of their difficulties.
Miss Mccullough, however, is a
young woman of exceptionally
strong character, and it is be-
lieved that when the men back OF
the scheme saw the class or women
who were being sent out, they be-
came frightened and decided to
abandon the plan
The police have a good clue to
the identity Of the man who caused
the women to be sent out, and eX-
pect to have him behind the bars
before night.

FROM A
HAREM

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-DecIaring
that she had escaped from harem
in Damascus and that she would be
killed if returned to the mercies OF
her former captors, Marie HopiIa, a
Greek woman Of great beauty,
pleaded today with the immigra-
ton bureau officials not to deport
her. Her pleas were temporarily
avaiIing and she, with Antonio ia
hara, who rescued her from the
Damascus harem. are being held at
Ellis island pending thorough IN
vestigation by the authorities Of
the woman's novel plea. 1t is prob
able that she will be allowed to
enter the country, because her
cousin, Mrs. Hafifi Hebelia, prom
ised to care for her and undertake
to see that the beautiful alien
shall not become dependent on
charity.
KIDNAPPED BY PAsHA.
Mrs. Hebelia said that Marie was
married at 10 and that shortly af-
forwards her husband died. A ricn
and powerful pasta kidnapped the
girl-widow and took her to his
harem, where she was held pris-
oner for nine years.
In that time Jahara, childhood
friend of the girl, endeavored three
times to rescue her. Once he was
and left for dead by
the pasha's attendants; a second
time he was shot and third time
narrowly escaped hanging at the
hands of the Turks guards. The
fourth time was successful, and
Jahara brought the young woman
to port on the Levant, and
thence. by sailing vessel to Greece.
The girl all the time was disguised
as a man.
So vindictive was the pasta that
the couple were not safe in Greece,
and deemed it best to flee to the
new world in an endeavor to eS-
cape the clutches of their torment
ors.

The letter to Passalaiquo was written
