Titanic. The card was postmarked
Amsterdam and conveyed the informa-
ton that he was about to sail on the
Titanic on her maiden trip and told
what a splendid time he had in Europe.
The young jeweler was a personal
friend of Mr.. Betz, and the pitiful me-
mento mailed from the other side is
eloquent with the terrible story of the
Atlantic horror for Mr.. Betz. who. by

pic last year when 1T collided with an
other vessel in the English channel

TALE IS
FANTASTIC
STORY

very fantastic account with many
of the details untrue were printed in
this mornings Chicago Tribune re-
garding the arrest in London of sir
Harry Cooper, bogus lord, biganiist
and swindler who married Miss Anna
Milbrath. formerly of South Chicago.
but more recently of Los Angeles Miss
Milbrath. who is sister of Ben Mil =
brath, 740 Adams street, was in Gary
on Monday, her brother admitted
yesterday. Where she is now he will
not say. Neither would he speak of
the arrest of Cooper in London.
The "bafIea up story of the Chicago
Tribune takes several filings at Gary
and is a follows:
Incorporating as an English lord,
Harry Cooper. alleged bigamist, forger,
and absconder. married Miss Genevra
Hilbrsth of Gary recently in Los
Angeles.
After securing the greater part of
the girls fortune. estimated at $4,000.
and obtaining $1,000 by fraudulent
means from her father. Ben Hilbrath
of San Francisco. he disappeared. Lon
don authorities reported his arrest In
England last week for crimes perpe-
tated there before his advent into
America.
Originated in Paris, III.
What was heralded as a morganatic
marriage proved among other things
to be a case of bigamy. Instead OF
originating in London. England. Coop
err came from Paris, Ill. Gary has been
one of his favorite grating grounds.
"Rumor had it last week that Cooper
was in Gary. This had a tendency t
increase vigilance there. Besides the
role of nobleman he has assumed less
imposing titles. At different times
Cooper was known to Gary as physi
clan and a doctor of checks.
Done by Bogus Lord.
"Notoriety attained by Gary through
the alleged exposures of civic corrup-
ton now is shared by the news that
the steel city was taken in by the
bogus nobleman. The Rev. Mr.. Trim
BILE resigned from charge there, de-
claring the town a second edition Of
Babylon in her worst days. Detective
Dean quit with uncomplimentary re
marks for the papers. The impression
has been that Gary was the last word
In trickery and graft.
THE system of Cooper to obtain IN
income required great deal of marry
ing At least he is connected with a
number of families over the country
who desire his return or punishment.
