BON VIVANT QUITS
CITY UNDER CLOUD
Four Warrants Out for Arrest
of Norton Waddell, Gay
Advertising Agent
Left Trail of Bad Checks in
Leading Hotels and Police
Seek Him Vainly

With string of hotels and business
and frauds and with four warrants out
for his arrest, Norton Waddell, adver-
tising solicitor for A. w. Voorsanger,
the proprietor and manager of the
Emanu-El, has deserted his handsome
apartments in the Hotel Jefferson in
Eddy street and dropped from the sight
of his friends and the police.
He was last seen Monday and then
only to the woe of those who accepted
his checks, drawn against Voorsanger
and indorsed by Waddell. Waddells
real name is said to be Nate E. Vein
stock, formerly of Denver, where he
was connected with the Jewish Outlook.
WAS PARTIAL TO HOTELS
In his alleged populations he was ex-
tremely partial to hotels, the Palace,
St Francis, Argonaut and the Jefferson
all sharing the distinction of his costly
patronage. Gunst cigar company, jules
restaurant, L. RuffieuX, A. Teweles and
Joseph Bogue of the firm of Morgan &
Wright, a guest of the Jefferson, are
also among those who are looking for
the scalp of the handsome and pleasing
Waddell.
Wadden began in the employ of
Voorsanger a month ago. Two weeks
ago $40 in cash disappeared from the
cash drawer of Voorsanger. He sus-
pected WaddelL Waddell on being told
of the robbery expressed great surprise
and volunteered his aid in unraveling
the mystery. A subsequent examina-
tion developed that Waddell had been
in the office alone the evening pre-
vious.
Two days later waddeI left the en-
ploy of Voorsanger, taking key to the
office along. For awhile he led an un-
eventful existence. Voorsanger wrote
for his key Saturday night Waddell
let himself into the office, attempted to
force the desk, took pad OF blank
bank checks made out to Voorsanger
and got away with the office mail.
CAsHED EMPLOYERS CHECK
In the mail was a check for sos,
made payable to Voorsanger. This
Waddell proceeded to cash at the Pal
ace hotel, where a clerk identified him.
So we'll did the forgery work that he
straightway made use of the blanks
Sunday and Monday were spent cashing
these All were for $25 with the eX-
ception of that to M. Gunst d Co.,
which was for $40. The police expect
TO have more worthless checks re-
ported.
At the Jefferson Waddell was very
nonuIar He was splendid dresser,
free with his money and dashing In his
actions. He ran up a considerable Wine
hill He left the hotel owing $500 TO
the MANAGEMENT. On the claim that he
was short and expecting remittance
he borrowed SIS from Bogue and
smaller amounts from other guests.

CHANGES MADE
IN MARINE CORPS
Officers Removed From Wash
ington Through Unsatisfac=
tory Conditions on Staff
General Elliott Ordered to Place
Col. w. P. Biddle in Tenn
pOrary Command

WASHINGTON, July 19.-As a con-
sequence of the report of the court of
inquiry that unsatisfactory conditions
existed in the marine corps, largely as
the result of many officers having been
in Washington too long, members of
the headquarters staff, with only few
exceptions. were today ordered to new
posts.
Colonel Charles L. Lauchheimer,
headquarters adjutant and inspector,
who requested the appointment of the
court of inquiry, was ordered to the
Philippines, and Lieutenant Colonel
Henry c. Haines, his assistant, was di-
rected to assume charge of the adju-
tant's Office.
Colonel Frank J.. Denny, headuuar-
ters quarterma aster, one of the candi-
dates for the position of commandant
of the corps son the retirement of Cen
eral George r. Elliott, in October, was
ordered to San Francisco for duty. He
will be succeeded here by Lieutenant
Colonel Charles L. McCawley. Colonel
Thomas c. Prince was ordered to the
Philippines.
Another officer who was censured as
result of the inquiry, Colonel Charles
A. Doyen, was detached from duty at
the marine DdrrdchS DIT AHHapollS ana
ordered to the Bremerton navy yard
in Washington.
Just what, if anything, has hap
pened to General Elliott. commandant
of the corps, is matter of uncer-
tainty. The changes ordered today
were the result of a letter from act
ing Secretary Winthrop to General FL
lott. Winthrop directed Elliott to
make the changes The concluding
paragraph of his letter read:
You will inform Colonel William P.
Biddle that, being the senior line of
ficer on duty in Washington, he has
been temporarily ignated to act for
the commandant in his absence until
future notice"
The selection of Biddle to act for the
commandant is interpreted by some Of
ficers as meaning his selection as the
permanent successor to Elliott.

FOR LONG STRIKE
Grand Trunk Officials Declare
That Company Can Not Af=
ford to Lose Fight

MONTREAL, July 19.-The end of the
first "a hours of the strike of con-
ductors. trainmen and yardmen on the
Grand Trunk system finds both sides
confident of victory. The company sue
ceeded in keeping its through passen-
ger trains moving.
Vice President Fitzhugh of the Grand
Trunk said tonight that when the mails
and passenger trains moved without
friction the freight business would be
handled.
This is not going to be strike of
day or two" said Fitzhugh. The
company went into it knowing what it
was facing and is determined to see it
through TO the end. 1t can not afford
to lose"
Vice President Murdock of the train
mems union said they had never eX-
pected to tie up the passenger service.
Members of the union profess to have
information that members of their or
ganizations in the United States will
not handle freight cars or passen ger
the Grand Trunk.
So far the only attempt made at set
tlement has been the offer of the min
lister of labor to do anything possible
to secure peace by arbitration. The
offer of mediation was coldly received.
I'VE are the arbitrators now de-
clared the strike leaders.
Vice President Murdock announced
tonight that $50 men had been added to
the strikers by calling out men en-
ployed on the Waba sh, which has run
ming rights oyer the Grand Trunk
tracks from Windsor to Niagara Falls.

TURN OVER TIME
when Nature Hints About the Food

When there's no relish to any food
and all that one eats doesn't seem to
do any good then is the time to make
a turn over in the diet, for that's Ma
ture's way Of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required
For a number of years I followed
railroad work, much of 1T being office
work of a trying nature Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants,
these together with the .sedentary hab-
its were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 205 to $50
pounds.
.There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. It seemed the more L ate the
poorer / got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much I had eaten.
"Then / commenced a fair trial of
Grape-Nuts food, and was surprised
how small saucer of it would carry
me along, strong and with satisfied
appetite, until the next meal, with no
sensations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
.sI have been following this diet now
for several months and my improve
nent has heen so great all the others
in NV family have taken up the use of
Crane Nuts with complete satisfaction
and much improvement In health and
brain power.
American people undoubtedly eat
|hurriedly. haveIots of worry, thus hind
ering digestion and therefore need a
food that is predigested and concen-
trated in nourishment.

are genuine, true, and full of human
