FIGHT FOR HONOR
LAST SIGHT OF GIRL

They saw the pretty, we'll gowned
girl go to the apartment of Wolter
and his wife" That was the last
seen of the child alive.
When the child failed to return
home Thursday night her mother
and sisters became anxious. They
learned from the business school
where Ruth had gone. Pearl went
alone to the apartment of Wolter.
Wolter and the Fischer girl had
occupied the rooms three weeks.
Nothing was known of them save
that VOTERS companion worked in
German bakery. earning Sc a
week and supporting them both.
SISTER is INSULTED.
Pearl knocked and was admitted
by Wolter. This was at $3.50 o'clock
Thursday night. The girl was ad-
mitted into the very room where
her sisters body had been burned.
She asked Wolter where Ruth was.
The German answered by locking
the door and making an insulting
proposition to the girl She shrunk
from him, frightened, but kept her
wits.
81 have policeman outside" she
told Wolter, land you had better
let me out of here"
WOLTER is CAUGHT.
Miss Wheeler went to the police
station and three detectives accom-
panied her to the flat, but Wolter
and the girl were gone. The detec-
tives searched the flat, but no trace
of the missing girl was found.
Kate Fischer came back alone to
the flat Friday and packed her
trunk, telling the janitor they were
moving away. She left the flat at
10 O'Clock Friday night; the detec-
tives followed. She doubled on her
tracks twice, and then went to Park
avenue and Eighth street, where
she was Joined by Wolter. The pair
strolled around the streets for some
time and finally went to 1872 East
105th street, where a few hours be-
fore they had rented rooms. AS
soon as they entered the detectives
burst in and arrested Wolter. He
was arraigned in court this morn
ing and held in $4,000 bail on
the charge of kidnapping. Wolter
told the court he had never seen
the girl. He admitted he often
wrote to business colleges asking
that stenographers to be sent to
him for work. He said he hoped in
this way to perfect himself in Eng
fish, teaching the girls German at
the same time.

NEW ORLEANS. March 90
The crisis in the strained relations
between the representatives of the
MadriZ and Estrada factions of the
Nicaraguan government was
reached late today when General
Gordon, who is organizing an Es-
trada relief expedition, suddenly
appeared at the Madriz consulate,
and, entering the room where Luis
Corea, Madriz' minister to Wash
ington, and other MadriZ officials
were in conference, defied them to
keep him from starting his expedi
ton for Central America. 1t was
an exciting and dramatic scene
Corea and General Altschul were
seated at a table when Gordon
suddenly entered. He calmly told
his enemies that the reports that
he was organizing an army were
true.
Then you are liable to $1,000
fine and three years imprison-
ment according to American laws"
shouted Corea.
Il am ready to sign a statement
that | am raising an army here and
that | have chartered ship and |
defy you to do anything" was Gen
eral Gordons reply. He then hand
ed each of the Madriz officials his
card and walked out.

MAYOR AND BLAIR
UPHOLD EACH OTHER

After being cIoseted with John
e. Blair, the new corporation coun-
sci nearly all of yesterday after
noon, Mayor Pratt issued a letter to
the city council defending Blair as
to the charges of which he was
found guilty by the investigating
committee Of the city council and
refusing to remove Blair from
office, as requested. The language
OF the report has legal ring to it,
conveying the inference that Mr..
Blair might have had a hand in its
preparation.
Mayor Pratt squarely takes issue
with the five councilmen, who, after
investigating the facts in the case,
returned report finding Blair gull
ty in every count charged against
him by E. o. Conner, former cor
poration counsel, and on other mat
tiers that Conner had not mention
ed.

words the mayor uses in speaking
of various charges mentioned by
the investigating committee. The
mayor is exercised over the sug-
gestion that he had used his office
to build up political machine nd
that Blair was one of the Isnief
cogs in the mechanism. He says
this is absolutely false" The
mayor admits that he called in J.
c. Ralston, his man Friday. when
the question of ousting Conner was
up.
The mayor in conclusion says
that the solution Of the whole diff
Guilty is the adoption of commits
sion plan of government.
The refusal of the mayo " s;me
new corporation counseT places
the issue again up to the city coun-
Gil. Whether it will accept Mr..
Blair after all that the committee
has said about his various alleged
derelictions remains to be seen.

Sam wasn't in sight, but John found
who did it and never spoke to Sam
, from that day on. In talking about
it Sam said he studied a long while
which would be the most fun, to
eat his melon or drop it on some
body's head, and he Tipped nickel

Garth came in | made Sam a pres
ent of the box. There were as
cigars in it. John Garth told me
before he and Sam went to bed that
night they smoked the entire con
tents of the box, except two, which
they saved for morning. | don't
guess there are many fellows who
could smoke like Sam.
But that's the way he did about
everything he went at. 1t was no
trouble If there was fun at the end
OF 1t. We never supposed he was
