The publisher is said by his friends 10 desire to be in the United States what Sir Alfred Harmsworth is in England in the matter of controlling an extensive string of newspapers. He already owns or controls daily publi- cations in Washington, D. C.; Balti- more, Philadelphia and Boston, in ad- dlflon to his half-dozen or more mag azine properties, and is imputed to aspire to own dailies in other large cities between here and the Pacific Coast.

 A slxteen-year-old Italian girl. said to belong to a noble family close to the throne of King Victor Emmanuel, was found working out as a domestic for a family outside the city this week. According to the Italian Consul, the girl was brought to this country more than eight years ago by kidnappers, who rosed as the. father and uncle of the child. She was placed in a Home for Girls, where she was reared until a year ago, when she was turned out to do domestic service. Recently the clothes she wore when brought to the United States came into the posses .f Ah@ known way. They were of expensive texture and indicated to him that she belonged to no common family. His investigation disclosed the fact that she was of noble origin and had been stolen from her parents by unknown persons, who had contrived to escape from Italy with her through the col fusion of steamship employees. Until he has received official permission from the Italian, authorities, the Con- sul has declined to give out the name of the noble family to whom the girl belongs. and pending advices from the other side has taken her in charge. Meanwhile the kidnappers are being sought in various parts of the coun- try.
 With the assurance that there will be nothing left of the once $20, ,000, 900 estate of the late Charles T. Yerkes, Chicago, New York and London rail- road masnate, creditors are making bitter fight to keep the residue of the estate here. Louis S. Owsley, ancil- lary executor of the estate and for nler secretary of Yerkes. made appli- cation to the Surrogate this week to remove the money in the banks here to Chicago, but Tiffany & Go. and other large creditors opposed it. An nounoement was made by counsel that the interest on the debts of the multi millionaire is eating up all that is left and that there is a prospect that when the estate is finally settled there will not be enough to satisfy all the claims against it.
 There is strong feeling here that the English polo team which came to New York some weeks ago to try and win back the cup they lost last year to the All-America-Meado Brook team are going to have a getaway this time. In the preliminary practice heats on George Gould's Georgian Court at Lakewood they have been do- ing remarkably fast work-much fast CT work in fact than the American team has developed to date. Unless the latter is able to get more steam and ginger in its play, the chance looks good for the English players winning.
