tective bureau. They were in New York
three days. Rogoff stated that he and
his companion would not tarry long in
the Capital. The men probably Will go
South to New Orleans. He positively
refused to state what, II any. clew he
was working on, and what was carrying
him South.
Since the larceny OF the Jewels from
the imperial jewel box secret police from
st. Petersburg have been scattered
through Europe, and some were imme-
diately sent to this country. Rogon

Russian Embassy, and Chief Wilkie, OF
the Secret Service, did not see them,
so far as could be learned.

Let US consider to-day the great bless
ings we get from the Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost" he said. Initiate our
Father, and when the devil tries to en-
snare US and draw US down to the
midst Of sin. and attempts to take from
US our treasure, let us say 'begone, Sa-
TAM

brothers. After his glorious resurrection
He did not rebuke His apostles, call
them traitors and towards, but sent a
message Of love to them What would
we do II we were betrayed by our

truth. why do they not call the men who
made the settlement
1t had been reported from Washington
that the testimony Of District Attorney
Wise placed the responsibility for a COM
promise settlement with the sugar trust
upon his predecessor.
Personally, I believe in exacting the
pound of flesh against every violator Of
customs laws, large and small" said Mr..
Wise
When that was read to the Secretary
Of War he exclaimed:
That is exactly what did. Not only
did we collect back duties, of which the
government had been defrauded, but we
got $4,000 extra fines
In regard to the testimony Of Mr.. Wise
that the man higher up was President
Havemeyer, and that his death prevent
ed his prosecution, Mr.. Stimson said:
THE executive officers Of the American
Sugar Refining Company were the presi-
dent and the secretary-treasurer. With
in two weeks after our prosecution began
President Havemeyer died. The secre-
tary-treasurer is now convicted and wait
ing jail sentence. The general super
intendent also stands convicted and is

Her dreams Of becoming star" shat
tered, but not overcome. by her arrest
last Saturday IN Durham, N. c., just at
the end of her act pretty Gertrude Roll
lins, the ffteea-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Florence Rollins, of 613 East Cap
itol street, who was inspired by the call
of the footlights to run away from
home, was brought into police head
quarters late last night by Detective
Baur and delivered over to her parent
and little sister, Bessie, who were walt
ing for her.
From all accounts the girl was glad to
get home, but her ambitions to become
a second Tetrazzini were somewhat
dampened.
When she went down to Durham to join
the Lakeside Casino Company as star,
at the instigation Of Harry White, book
ing agent, she found that all she had to
do was to draw SIS a week for posing as
an Egyptian slave in a musical comedy,
which had no ends of plots.
Fensted on Ice Cream.
While Gertrude was standing in the
front of the footlights some one whispered
to her from behind the scenes that a po-
Iiceman was waiting for her. They were
Just es nice as could be-" said Gertrude
last night. "and let me stay on until
everything was over. And then they fed
me on ice cream. Say, that's the best
place you ever saw"
When Mrs. Rollins demonstrated with
her about her professional ambitions, Ger
trude grew defiant, and said that as soon
as she was eighteen years old she would
be q real prima donna
But, for the present, she has to appear
against Harry White, the theatrical
agent, who is now under bond, charged
with violating the child labor law. His
case will come up before the Juvenile
Court within a few days. Miss Rollins
said last night that she did not know
Ethel Deans. the sixteen-year-old Wash
Ington girl, who ran away a week ago to
join the same theatrical troupe.
When seen last night, Mrs. Rollins had
her young daughter by the hand and
was making for the shortest way home.
