BAFFLED
OVER MYSTERY
OF PREMSELAAR
Neither Police Nor Wife Have
Heard from Missing
NeWarker.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
peerance OF oimon J. Preanss4aar, the
ICrnler superintendent of IN G4eJ.es
Orphan Asylum, who left his Lo4ne
A1aten 6 ~oStensiDIy to go 10 ot. Paul,
MiAn., is todGy Still battling the police.
AS yet no trace OF the missing man has
e found, nor have the poliee. OF MRS.
Premse.aar a crew of the whvreaoodts
of the Elan.
Mrs. Premselaar, in speaking to an
Evening STAR reporter today, said.
i not only do not know where my hus-
band Is, / have not even a theory con
corning his strange DISAPPEARANCE. I
canno think of a motive hat would
prompt him to leave his family and
friends. 1 have not engaged any pri-
vate detectives, for the very good rea-
son that ] have no money to do so. l
wish you could tell me where he Is or
help find him. / do not believe that the
story abou his being seen in New York
is true"
Prominent In FraternaI Circles.
The missing man, who was promi-
nent in fraternal circles, after drawing
$1,000 from the bank, bid his wife good
bye and told her that he was going to
y" ahAJ where lie was Olere0 q posi-
ton in a Hebrew orphan asylum. He
promised to return home In Ave or six
days, and said hat If he were delayed
he would telegraph. Since thai day,
March s, no one has heard from him.
An examination of the books of the
orphan asylum, of which he had been
the head for ten years, showed that
they were in perfect condition. Premse-
laar had ways been highly thought
Of by his friends and business asso-
ciates In this city, and the reason for
his prolonged absence cannot be ac-
counted for by them.
No theories can be advanced by those
with whom Premselaar was closely con-
nected. Someone said that he had been
seen in New York, but this was con-
tradicted later. kilograms have been
sent to all the friends and relatives of
the man in ali parts Of the country.
without shedding any light on the
mystery. The mans honesty has not
been doubted by anyone. Foul p ay
has not been thought of, and yet one
of the prominent men in the city has
said that a man does not willingly
leave his family and business without
a good reason, and he concludes by
saying that the secret of the disappear
ance does not rest with the missing
man.

Milanese waiter. entered just as Harry
Kaufman was singing "Kamihele
Town." his own composition.
Gentlemen and knights of the Oval
Table" said he, right underneath your
feet there is raging a fire the like OF
which has never 5een seen in this
hotel. | advise you to make good your
escape"
Hardly had he uttered these words
when Sol Heller, brave n courageous
Sol, picked up our friend Fritz and
unceremoniously dumped him out Of
the dining room at the same time de-
livering himself of these words:
1.-THE flames may age. the smoke
may blind. but We shall stand orr
ground. For Kamihele boys are brave,
as brave as can re found"
And they did. They stood their
ground. Now isn't that what you'd
call courage?
OWING to the promptness with which
the smoke-eaters arrived the fire,
which started in the basement, and
was caused by an ~overheated stove,
was soon ~extinguished. When this was
announced to the anxious crowd a sigh
of relief. a mighty sigh, arose and
wended its way skyward.
And while the sigh was going up the
crowd was going In; some to stand in
front of the bar and others to take
their accustomed places at the tables.
One of the first to go in said later that
the proprietor of the nearly-singed
"Edelweiss" actually blew" the house
by way of Thanksgiving. But there was
no one to confirm this report, so, after
all, II may be just a myth.

Have patience and we'll tell you
about 1t.
At 9 o'clock all was well. The slow
but steady stream Of Holsters and lob
sterines had begun to flow into the

brain of this species of metropolitan
life contained but a single thought
cool, stimulating liquids and palatable
food. All of a sudden, like a bolt from
the clear sky. the bells rang and a
woman screamed, then another m
screamed. Pretty soon the cry went
up that the Broad" was in flames.
Pandemonium was at Its height; so
were avarice. bravery and stand
pate dness. The hitherto unperturbed
brain of the lobster and his mate be-
came confused at the thought Of being
deprived Of its single wish, it's only
desire.

yesterday defeated by a vote of 13 to 6
Assemblyman Hands bill permitting
the use of dogs to hunt deer.

Senator Frelinghuysen took the stand

more jumpy than ever when spoken to. only Follonby appeared to be normally calrn.
 Meanwhile in the Street of Diamonds people wondered what was the matter with Plunkett. He did not tell as many stories as usual and appeared preoccu- pied. The supposition was that he was having more trouble with Folionby. It was on a Thursday that the suit case was to be ready for Sackett. That morning MT. Follonby arrived at his usual hour, put in the day at his usual duties locked the safe at the regular hour, locked the outer door, as was his habit ,and departed
 It was 15 minutes later that things be- gan to happen. SaclSett arrived with the suitcase. Plunkett arrived moment aft erward. They opened the outer door. went into the office, opened tine safe, opened the suitcase. and began transfer case everything In the way of precious gem that the suitcase could accommo- date. There were ropes of pearls and loose pearls. There were clusters of ala nonds and loose diamonds. Rubies there were, sapphires, emeralds, brooches, rings and tiny watches. They knew the worth Of every jewel and ornament in the whole establishment and they took only the best. When the suitcase held all it would stand without having an attack of apo piexy Sackett recalled to Plunkett the promise the junior partner had made to pi otect him.
 You said you'd write a note to Follon-

by that would clear me of all responsibil- ity In this little game. You're not gorng to fail me now. are you?'
 'No-nothing matters now; I'll write the note," said Plunkett, who was very much excited.
 Then he sat down and scratched out a few lines, showed them to Sackett and asked if they would serve the purpose. sackett read them carefully and grunted his approval.
 Plunkett got some paste and glued the note right on the front of the jewel drawer, so that Follonby would see it the nIpute he opened the great doors. Then they closed the safe. threw back the combination and busied themselves with locking the suitcase with all It's compl- eated locks.
 Then Plunkett telephoned--once tt an uptown number and then to the Astor house. To the first he said, "All ready. Meet us at the Brooklyn end of the bridge.'' To the Astor house he gave instructions to send a taxicab to his of. flee at once.
 In few minutes the cab arrived and Plunkett and Sackett, with the suit case between them, went downstairs and en- tered the vehicle. They went through Nassau street to Park Row and from Park Row over the bridge. They had to wait but very few minutes at the plaza Oil the Brooklyn side before the automo- bile that Plunkett was watching for rolled up. A woman got out. She was heavily yelled. She entered the cab with the two men and they went whirlng away to-
