FOR 1 BURGlAn
MRS. EDNA MCDONALD, WEALTHY
AND REFINED. ooEs TO JAIL
WITH HEReERT ELLIOTT.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. Nov. IT,
Found and arrested In the company of
a man whc., the de.e s:!yes suspect of
committing burglary, Mrs. Edna Nc
Donald. wife OF a wealthy lumberman.
waose residence In dorchester. Conn.,.
is said to be among the most beauti-
full homes III that state, preferred be-
ing locked up this morning to accom-
panying her husband TO their home.
The McDonalds have six children.
tive girls and -four boys. The elder
girl Edna. Is eighteen years old. When
Mrs. Mcdonald disappeared from her
home two months ago she took her
daughter. Elizabeth. fifteen years old
and her youngest boy, Sidney, two
years old, with her They~were found
by their father to-day In the house In
this city which their mother occupied
with Herbert Elliott. who says his home
is in Rochester. n Y.
Although her husband and children
pleaded with the woman To return
home with them, she refused. and still
occupies a cell in city Hall. Melon
aid says that his wife's mind Is af-
feeted and that he will have a com
mission appointed IN inquire into her
sanity.
Lack Of Money Led to Capture.
a style much more humble than she
had been accustomed to at her home.
Lack of money is said to have given
the clew which led to her capture.
The detectives say they arrested Ell
lott upon information furnished ny
the police OF Rochester, who declare
that they believe that Elliott was the
! third man in a burglary committed in
that city on October IL.
Mr. Mcdonald. who accompanied the
detectives to the house when his wife
lived here. almost collapsed when he
saw his wife and children. Their APP
pearance was in striking contrast to
that when they. left home. Mrs. Nc
Donald wore no jewelry. Her clothing.
while of good quality, did not look so
we'll, and most of the outer garments
of the children Were gone.
According to Police Captain Souder
the woman had some money in bank
in Norwich, Conn. and on Tuesday she
and Elliott went there for the purpose
of getting It. Her husband. according
to Captain Souder had anticipated
such a move ON her part and had stop
ped payment Of the money. She and
Elliott got away from the bank before
MIR. Mcdonald reached there. but he
traced them to this city
Pleading in Vain.
Mr., Mcdonald was accompanied t6
Captain Souder's Office by his eldest
daughter. who Joined her father and
Captain Sotlder In pleading with hei
mother to return home. but to no avail
The girl told her that the other chill
dren had been asking about her and
would be overjoyed to see her. but this
had no effect upon the woman. =
1t Is the opinion OF the woman's hus-
band, according to Captain Boulder. thai
her mind is unbalanced. He said tina
he cannot In any other way account fol-
her conduct.
Regarding Elliott Mrs. Mcdonald
had little to say. According to Cap
tain Souder. she said that he hat
boarded with her while she was IL
, Rochester and this city She refuses
to believe that he ever had anythini
to dc with a burglary In Rochester
She said she considered him honest he
cause he never stole anything from
her.

that many will die.
The south wall fell soon after tn,

south, standing. Then, when police.
men and firemen were standing neal
the north wall fighting to rescue theil
buried comrades, some of whom still
were alive, the north wall fell, bury.

Wicked Chicago.

Chicago, December 22.-Despite The

biting wind to obtain a cup of cof-
'ee and a roll each
1t was the tenth night that Malcolm
Mcdowell has had his coffee wagon
out to feed the hungry unemployed.
The results have shown that this
charity is almost as badly needed as
in the hard panic winter of 1907

The municipal lodging house had
over four hundred guests last night, a
number far in excess of the number
of beds, and in excess of the number
accommodated at this time in the WIN

Hogans ''fop", four-story build
ing where a man may sleep on the
