PALACE HOTEL
GUEST ARRESTED
Self-styled Relative of Admiral
Schley Writes Many Checks,
but Cashes None
&c. c. Schley" Shows Himself
High Kicker, but Lands in
the City Prison

Who is &c. C. Schley" of Washington,
d. c.?
He says he is relative of the fa-
nous admiral who took part in the con-
flict at Santiago bay and entered into
controversy with Sampson as to who
deserved the laurels of victory.
'Schley" is now in the city prison. He
registered at the Palace hotel last
Thursday, and the chronicle of his
achievements from that day to this
would fill many pages.
Writing checks for hundreds seems to
have been the principal malady, the
symptoms of disease being noted be-
cause said "Schley' had no funds in
the bank.
AS yet. however, no charNe has been
brought against him. He is being held
on information of the Palace hotel man
agement and the firm of Sing Chong.
'Schley'' made his appearance in me-
teoric fashion. BY way of showing
that the ceiling of the Palace hotel
was not beyond his reach ,he kicked his
polished, patent pumps into the air
and watched them rise. This was on
the night of his registration, and
Colonel j. c. Kirkpatrick, manager of
the hotel, was amazed. Harry Bray the
HouSS ueteCllNe, persuaded, the sell
styled relative of the admiral to go to
his room
The next day "Schley" wished to cash
check for $500. Frank Martin, cashier
of the Palace, WINGED
The check was signed Mclean" An
explanation was asked for and as there
was none coming, no money was passed
through the grating.
Sing Chong was visited the next day.
Saturday 'Schley'' wished to buy some
oriental curiosities He showed his key
as proof that he lived at the Palace
hotel, when the peculiar Chinee shied
at the check. 1t was drawn on
bank in Savannah. A prompt tele-
phone message to the Palace brought
a warning. The night watchman of
the Palace at the same time hurried
to the Grant avenue store and had
"Schley" arrested"
The case was put in the hands of
the detective agency that is handling
the affairs of the Western hotelmen' s
protective association. The hotel man
agement gave orders to have the re-
puted relative of the admiral locked
out. 1t held his baggage. The Chinese
firm is waiting for the white men to
take action, and meanwhile the tour
ist is in the city prison.

JEWELERS. WOULD
STOP GOLD FRAUD
Urge Reform in Stamping of
"Electroplate,' ''RoIled and
Filled Plate" Articles

jewelers. in wholesale districts are
trying to have various trade terms so
defined that the public may be pro-
tected from fraudulent practices in the
ale of jewelry. A call has been sent
out to all the manufacturers and deal
ers in the last week asking for reform
in the stamping of jewelry. All asso-
Citations of jewellers are asked to make
this a subject of discussion a their
meetings.
The greatest trouble comes over
plated gold ware, because there are so
many varieties of plating and dis
honest dealers confuse the meaning of
such terms as rolled gold plate" gold
filled" and "electroplate.'
An article made of base metal that is
simply dipped into the electroplating
solution and gets about 10 cents worth
of gold on the surface is put by dis
honest dealers in the same class with
gold filled articles, which are often
worth almost as much as solid gold
jewelry. In the filled plate two sub-
stantial bars of gold are placed on
either side of one of inferior metal
and the three are soldered together,
and then rolled into sheet in which
the gold remains on the surface.
One of the tricks is to place the
thinnest possible layer of gold on one
SlOe ana Inen eIetIEcpidle tiH olhci.
The article is then sold as gold filed"
or rolled plate"
solid gold" is highly deceptive
term, even when technically correct,
the dealers say. This is because 1t is
the custom to use the term in describ-
ing all compounds of gold however
much alloy may be used in fusing the
mixture. If jewelry is of only 10
carats in fineness it is called solid gold,
and if it is of the higher standard of
Is carats il is also called solid gold.
As the stamping laws of this coun
try are not as stringent as those of
other countries amendments may be
proposed. One of the suggestions that
has been made is that in both the solid
gold and plated gold jewelry. if any
marks are employed they should show
the exact proportion of the gold and
base metals;
The immediate purpose. of the jewel
ers is not. however, TO obtain. legisla--
tion but rather to reach an agreement
themselves as to the proper definition.
of their trade terms.

PASTOR SCORES MCCARTHY
FOR "WIDE OPEN" POLICY
Rev. Richmond Logan Sounds
Alarm Against Gambling


Rev. Richmond Logan, pastor of the
Lebanon Presbyterian church at San
chez and Twenty third street, sounded
an alarm in his sermon last night
against the threatened return of slot
machines. He also criticised Mayor
P. H Mccarthy for expressing himself
in favor of letting the Chinese gamble
their heads off,"
That slot machines are dangerous
gambling devices was the contention
of Rev Mr. Logan. He asserted that
only few cigar dealers and saloon
keepers were anxious to have them in
operation again for the purpose of
stimulating business.
The text of Gambling and the Slot
Machine was taken from He earneth

REFUSES TO LET SON
SERVE IN GERMAN ARMY

deserted. Why, it is not known, but
he settled in Alsace, where he pros
pered, married and has four children.
OF his own accord he has recently pre-
sented himself at Luneville with his
family and has surrendered to the au-
thorities. His reason is that his eldest
son is now 6 years of age, and he pre-
ferred to begin life again among his
own people rather than see his son
serve in the German army. He has
abandoned, so it seems, all his prop
erty acquired in the annexed territory.

DAVID STAR JORDAN ON

Ray Stannard Baker, writing in the April American Magazine about RoOsevelt's home coming, takes oc- casion to quote the opinions of q number of prominent men who are close observers of the times and what Mir. Baker calls The Impending Roosevelt '' David Starr Jordan. president of Stanford University. is among those quoted. and he says:
 [" The man of the West has faith in Roosevelt He sees in him the most viriIe and the most effective public man since Lincoln. He sees that Roosevelt has made mistakes although (barring a single exception on which suspends final judgmenU hardly any two will agree what these mistakes are. He knows that ROOse- welt has an overmastering moral pur- pose. that he fears nobody. and that. as q normal executive should he thinks in terms of action.
 ." Tn all this. l take it. of the West" is not a geographical desig- nation. Like Boston" it is q state of mind. liable to occur anywher" There are in the actual West plenty of men whose place is in the 'un- mitigated East" men whose finan- cial schemes are linked to the high tariff, or whose political future de bends on partisan solidarity. More over, there are in the east millions ot men of the west" as heartily insur- gent in Lowell or Pittsburg as if they lived in Des Moines or Seattle or St. Paul.
 "'The man of the west. l take 1t. despises heartily the graft of the great cities. for that is vulgar stealing.
