CAPITAL RECORDS
SEARCHED FOR CLUE
TO LOST MILLIONS
Twin Heirs of Rudolph Van
Barren Enlist Hilles'
Aid.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Where is
Rudolph Van Baren's treasure island?
That is what the people whom he
provided for in his will, several ma
tional banks and prominent officials
want to know.
They are convinced that a fortune
of $5,000,000 is secreted somewhere.
Since the death of Mr.. Van Barren,
who was a resident of White Plains,
not a penny has been found. During
life he drew heavily upon his estate,
going with him to a financial institu-
tion. Charles A. Campbell, who was
his companion for fourteen years.
was always told TO remain on the
steps of the bank when Mr.. Van
Barren entered.
With all the fascinating mystery of
a fairy story, the secret of the hiding
place of MIR. Van Baren's fortune is
surrounded.
Among the most interested people in
gott, twins, who are proprietors of a
little property, but Mr.. Van Barren
willed them 100000 each. Henry r.
Barrett, of White Plains, is making the
search as their attorney.
Among others who are giving all the
assistance possible are Charles d.
Hillies, secretary to President Taft: the
Dutch minister at Washington, and
Treasury Department officials. Mr.,
Washington every six months to COL
lect what he said was interest on his
Government bonds While there he
would transact business with a bank
but always in privacy.
The fact that Mr.. Van Barren stated
he held Government bonds has inter-
ested Mr.. Hilles, who, eefoie his ap-
pointment as secretary to the President,
was one of the assistant secretaries in
the Treasury Department.
The search extends beyond the United
States to Holland, where in 1895 Mr.
Van Barren said he went. He mysteri-
ously disappeared. and was gone for
several months at the time.

HELD FOR SHOOTING
POLICE MAN IN NECK
WHILE ON AL|GHTER
C. E. Traught Alleged to
Have Fired Into Daughton
While Negroes Sang.

While a band of negroes sang and
danced on the dock of a lighter lying
off the Virginia shore stone quarries
early this morning. Charles E. Traught,
a white man. is alleged to have drawn
a revolver and begun firing. One of
the bullets pIowed into the neck of
Policeman B. NJ. Daughton. of the Sec
ond precinct, who, with Policeman Gus
Emanuel, was on the lighter.
Daughton is in a serious condition at
Georgetown Hospital The ball is
thought to have lodged somewhere in
the muscles of the neck or throat
probes having failed to locate it. Dr.
George TullX Vaughan will operate on
him late this afternoon.
When news of the shooting reached
Georgetown at 2:3O o'clock this morn
ing. Sergeant McQuade. in charge of
the reserves, dashed to the Chain
bridge in the patrol wagon. Daughton
was on the Virginia side. Traught, who
is charged with the shooting, was
near by. apparently believing that the
State line would protect him.
Makes Arrest
Sergeant McQuade, however. did not
wait to ask questions, but went across
the Chain Bridge, and with his police
men brought Traught to the District
side and to the police station.
Because the District line goes to high
water mark on the Virginia shore, the
shooting occurred in District waters,
and Traught will be taken to Police
Court tomorrow morning.
He has made no statement regard
ing the shooting.
Policemen Daughton and Emanuel
started fishing yesterday afternoon.
After dark had fallen. Daughton and
Emanuel saw a lighter anchored off
one of the Quarries which dot the
Virginia shore, and rowed toward it.
Shoots Suddenly.
On board the lighter they found Ed
Zillman, George Cant. and Frank
Carter, negroes who composed the
crew. The negroes were singing,
playing and dancing, and the white
men stopped to watch them
1t was in the midst of the jollifica-
tion that Traught. says Captain
Schneider, suddenly rose, and without
word Of warning drew his weapon
and fired three times
DauRhton has been on the police
force for some years, and has a good
record. He is unmarried and lives
at 1922 Avon place northwest.
