A BILL NYE STORY

The following anecdote appeared in
the first number of the Bookman and
has just been reproduced in that mag
azine. 1t concerns Edward w. Nye
(Bill Nye), who made, we are informed,
short speech at an authors dinner in
London that was much relished by the
bookmen present, including the pub
fishers, at whom it was indirectly
aimed. Just year ago." he said, IT
was walking on the principal street of
Indianapolis, when 1 met a man whose
appearance showed that he was re-
duced to the very depths of poverty.
His clothes were ragged, his face un-
'shaven. his hair long and matted and
his feet unshod. AS 1 passed him a
look of recognition came into his eye.
"'Nye, old fellow, don't you know
me? Don't you know Abel p. Jones,
who was your classmate at college?'
"'What, Jones! Is it really you?
Well well, what can l do for you?
"'For heavens sake, help me. l am
starving. Lend me half dollar

empty. 1 had no money myself. But
bright thought flashed through my
mind.
label, I can't lend you the half dol
lar; I haven't got it. But look here.
I'll tell you what I will do; I'll let you
publish my next book"
Gentlemen, that was just a year
ago; and this month Abel p. Jones sent
me an invitation to go to Europe with
him in his steam yacht"

GIRL WHO LOST LIFE

Miss Margaret Henze Rests in

OCEAN PARK, July 23.-The body
of Miss Margaret Henze, the Los An
geles young woman who was drowned
near the Bristol pier last Wednesday
night was taken to Inglewood ceme-
terry for burial today by Undertaken
Kirkelie. Her death is given as sui
eide, but there is still a feeling on
the part of some citizens that she
probably met with foul play. 1t was
admitted by Louis Hence, father of
the young woman. that suicide is the
most plausible theory, as he could M
agine no motive for murder.
Although there were no fractures
nor serious bruises on the body of Miss
Henze that might be taken as evidence
that she had been injured previous to
entering the witer there were small
scratches and abrasions on the face
and head The undertaken said he
thought perhaps this was causNd by
contact with the ptling of Bristol pier.

FORMER CITY OFFICIAL
REPORTS SEEING BANE
Abraham Reel and o. C. Ford De-
clare DefauIter Was in San
Fernando Valley

SANTA MONICA, July 23.-Former
Councilman Abraham Reel of Santa
Monica sprung a sensation here today
when he made the assertion that he
saw Ralph Bane, missing treasurer and
tax collector of this city, recently in
San Fernando valley. In this he is
supported by O. c. Ford, who was with
Reel at the time he came upon the
supposed defaulting official near New
lands Both men knew Bane for years
and insist that they cannot be mis-
taken.
Chief OF Police Max Barretto refuses
to credit the story of Reel and Ford
declaring that they mistOok some one
else for Bane. and the police have
taken no steps in following up the
matter.
Following Banes disappearance last
April and the subsequent discovery
that he had got away with more than
$4,000 of the Citys funds, a number
of Santa Monicans claimed to have
seen him at different places, but SC
far this information has not resulted
in his capture or even bringing the
treasurer in danger of arrest at any
time as far as is known. Since Bane
wrote a letter to J. b. Proctor, friend
here, three days after he departed, tell
Ing of his crime and declaring he would
never be seen here again, not a word
has been received by his friends, and
the latter hold 30 the opinion that he
has gone to foreign country. De-
spite this, constant rumors are circu-
lated that he is in the vicinity Of Los
Angeles.
Reel was a member of the city coun-
ell two years and saw Bane practically
every week day in that time. He said
today that he and Ford were driving
along the road toward Newlands when
they met an automobile. In the rear
seat was a young man wearing a dus-
ter. Ford suddenly cried out:
That's Ralph Bane."
Peering closely at the occupants OF
the automobile, Reel assured Ford that
it was Bane and then called to the
man in the rear seat:
Hello, there, Ralph"
The man supposed to be Bane did
not reply, but turned his face away
and said something to the chauffeur,
and the latter put on more speed. The
machine was soon lost in the dust.
According to Reel the automobile
contained a camping outfit and guns
and appeared to be headed for the
mountains, where the men were prob
ably going for a hunting trip.

Son of Dead Marquis of Queens
SALARY WILL BE 81 A DAY

SPOKANE, Wash, July 23.-Vowing
that he has spent his fortune on his
wife and has lost her, Lord Sholto
Douglas has left Spokane to work on
a Canadian Pacific railway surveying
crew for three months.
Lord Sholto is brother of the present
marquis of Queensberry and son of
that marquis who gained undying fame
by his code of pugilistic rules at Bak-
ersfield in 1895. Lord SholtO married
Miss Margaret Mooney, better known
on the variety stage as Loretta Adds.
She had sung at Tony Pastors the
ater i'll New York.
In his present despair the noble Eng
lishman estimates the amount he has
squandered on his wife at between
$4OOO,O0O and $5000,O00. He says he
seeks the solitude of surveyors camp
that he may forget his troubles. In
cidentally he needs the pay, 81 a day.
to enable him to eat occasionally.
Lady Sholto Douglas is somewhere
In Spokane, having come here to gain
a legal separation from her husband
He cannot find her, although he says
he has spent the last Of his fortune
In the search. One Of his sons, Rob-
ert, will go with him into the Cana
dian forests; the other is at school in
London in charge Of Lord Sholtos
mother, the marchioness of Queens
berry.
on one of his previous visits to Spo-
kane Lord Sholto made himself very
popular He bought q saloon. 1t did
not prosper, so he opened the doors,
INVITED everybody and treated them
until there was not a drop left.
Lord Sholto still seems very much in
love with his wife. Two years ago on
his fruit farm at CrestOn, b. c., he
shot a former British officer who was
paying too much attention to milady.
In hospital the wounded man acknoWl-
edged he had been tipsy and had tried
to gain admission to Lady Sholto's
room.
Lord Sholto, who left England for
his familys good, first saw his wife
when he went to Bakersfield with let
ters of credit for large sums and an
nounced that he intended buying
ranch. He went to one of the music
halls one night and there beheld Mar
as Loretta Adds. 1t was love at first
sight-with Lord ShOlto-and without
delay he took out a marriage license.
Several companions, who called
themselves his particular and intimate
friends. had Lord Sholto arrested on a
charge of insanity. The basis for the
charge appeared to lie the procuring Of
the marriage license. When the case
was called no one appeared as COM
plainant and Lord Sholto was released.
He married Miss Mooney and honey
moon month was sLent> in cottage at
Alameda, and later the happy couple
reached Los Angeles entirely without
funds Pending the arrival of remit
tances from England Lady Sholto took
to the stage to support herself and
husband.
