MANICURE VICTIM
OF $4,000 HOAX
Joking Customer in Barber Shop
Starts Her on Trail of Sim
Ons Pawn Shop LOOters

NEW YORK-The only person who
did not see the fun was Miss Annie
Dickoff She took ii so seriously
that she lost her job, ner temper and
the $4,000 reward that went with
the glory of Capturing the burglars
who looted the Simons pawn shop
at No "a Hester-st.
A jewelry salesman, overfiowing
with humor, went itno Geiger's bar
Der shop at No. 705 Broadway where
Miss Dickoff was wont TO manicure
nails. and while she was operating
on his bejeweled fingers he produced
an assortment OF diamonds that would
have made the Gaekwar Of Baroda a
commonplace individual For $500 he
told Miss Annie, the jewels were hers.
They were worth, obviously, $4,000 at
least
But how can you do 1t and the
cost OF living so high?' inquired the
dazzed manicure girl
Well grille" confided the jeweler,
you're a hard working little one and
I've taken a liking TO you. Now II
you can keep your mouth shut, III
let you In on a little secret and at
the same time head you straight for
the millionaire class"
She promised so fervently and
wished such calamity upon herself
should she so much as look wise that
the salesman unbosomed.
We'll, said he in a dramatic whis-
per. they're part of the Simons swag.
I'll slip EN- TO you tomorrow and If
you like them you can pay me"
All that Miss Dickoff got was box
filled with disappointment and air.
But so sure was she that she was on
the track OF the $4,000 reward that
she consulted a friend. who interested

PONY AND CAMEL "MIX"
IN THE GENTRY CIRCUS

An act not down on the program
with Gentry Brothers show took place
Wednesday night after the perform
ance closed. As a result there are
several trainers with the SHOW that
are nursing numerous and sundry
bruises The trouble all came about
because the baby camel resented the
Invasion OF the camel ring by a baby
pony. The pony was game and held
his ground.
Amid a chorus OF neighs and
squawks-that is about the only way
10 describe the noise made by an an
cry camel--the trainers strove.to end
the battle. Those first on the scene
braved an atmosphere filled with tiny,
but hard feet. Finally the pony was
dragged out OF the camel ring by
main force. This put an end TO the
fight.
Gentry Brothers shows were favor
ed with two big audiences, Wednes-
day. During the night the shows
moved from Woodward and Piquette-
ayes. to the d. A. C.. grounds on Wood
ward-ave. Tonight they will move 10

ment at the Jefferson show grounds.

Theodore Roberts, an actor. playing
the part Of sheriff in Believe Ne.
Xantippe," who already has had ex-
perience with the courts in the matter
Of alimony, learned something more
yesterday about the law dealing with
that subject. Roberts served six
months in Ludlow Street Jail because
he failed to pay his wife $4OO alimony
pending the trial Of her separation suit.
He ended his term in Jail on July !.
After Roberts got out Of jail his wife
obtained a decree Of separation, also
with alimony. The actor now owes
S1.7J0 on that account Mrs. Roberts
got an order yeste' day to compel Rob-
erts to show cause why he should not
again be punished for contempt in dis
obeying the alimony order. Roberts
pleaded h.s prior term in jail.
Justice Delany decided that commit
ment to Jail for failure TO pay alimony
pending the trial Of a matrimonial suit
did not absolve the husband from fur
ther confinement for failure TO pay ali
mony awarded after the trial; and now.
Believe Me, Xantippe," unless he pays

Washington, Sept. 1I.-If naval OFF,
GERS find it necessary TO tip more than
80 cents a day they must bear the ex-
pense themselves, even though they are
travelling on government business
This rule was emphasized to-day by
George F. Downey, the Controller OF
the Treasury, who ruled that William

pert for the navy at Newport News.
must stand the loss of 80 cents paid TO
the steward on a boat running from
Newport News to Lewes, Del. Tips at
the rate Of 80 cents a day TO walters
were allowed, but Controller Downey
could not see any justification for tip
ping the steward.
The auditor of the Navy Department
disallowed all tips attached TO Mil
ler's expense account, but Controller
DoWney held that a precedent had been
established in a previous case, so that
the 80 cents day-1O cents a meal
would be allowed.

RICH NEW YORK WOMAN
IN QUAKER CITY ASYLUM
Threw Strings of Pearls at De-.
teCtive When Taken from
Hotel to Police Station.

Philadelphia, Sept. IA handsome
young woman. beautifully gowned. and
wearing several thousand dollars worth
Of pearls and diamonds, who says she
is Mrs. Martha Center, widow, OF
New York, and that her father is a
Boston millionaire. is furnishing one OF
the strangest cases the detectives here
have had TO deal with in many years.
Mrs. Center. who is about twenty
seven years old, was taken to the de-
tective bureau from the Bellevue-Strat-
ford Hotel to-day after she had shown
evidences of mental arrangement. on
reaching City Hall she became hys-
terical Tearing two strings Of pearls
from her neck. she threw them at the
head of a detective. She also tried to
tear off her frock, dark silk gown
cut in the latest mode.
She talked incoherently, and little in
formation could be gained from her. She
protested to the detectives and TO DR..
John Egan, police surgeon. that she
was only pretending insanity. She said
she had thus gained admittance to the
Wards Island Hospital. Gray's Hospi-
tai and Bellevue Hospital. all Of New
York.
The young woman pointed to a scar
on her right leg and another on her
hand. These were wounds received,
she told the detectives. while attempt
ing 10 escape from a ward in Bellevue
Hospital.
Mrs. Center registered at the Belle
vue- Stratord this morning. engaging an
extensive suite. Throughout the day
she kept wandering around the hotel
corridors, commanding the hotel at
taches TO bring her writing paper and
run other errands. She spent money
lavishly, and gave tips of jewels that
set the bellboys to wondering.
Her conduct soon attracted the
hotels detective. He watched her for
some time and finally he took her to
the City Hall.
Mrs. Center denied emphatically to
the physicians that she had escaped
from Bellevue Hospital, but she
admitted that she had been a patient
for some time in the psychopathic ward
Of that institution.
She said her father was Max f.
Fleming. of No. T63 fremont street,
Boston and that he operated a chain
CT wholesale baking establishments
through New England.
The physicians and detectives decided
to remove her for further observation
to the Philadelphia Hospital

tBy Telegraph to The Tribune !

St Paul, Sept. T.-One OF the most in
teresting demonstrations I'm beef and milk
production ever conducted in America is
10 be staged at the North Oaks Farm of
James j. Hill, near ST. Paul. Those in
charge of the experiment assert 1t will
revolutionize the beef and milk industry
in this country and prove to the farmers
and stockmen that beef raising and milk
production can become one of their most
profitable ventures.
This demonstration is to be carried on
with herd of twenty-nine dual-purpose
cattle which have been purchased in
Great Britain by Professor Thomas Shaw,
formerly of the Minnesota Agricultural
College. 1t is said to be the first importa-
ton of milking Shorthorn cattle ever
made to this country. In this herd are
twenty-six cows and three bulls. The
animals arrived at Quebec this week, and
will be shipped TO Minnesota as soon as
they are released from Quarantine. in

Police Go to Eighth Avenue
Place and Take Away Baby
Clothes Made by Anna
AumuIIer.
MURET'S LIFE UNCOVERED
Evidence of Criminal Career in
Chicago and London Brought
to Light in Raid on the
Office of Schmidt's
Close Friend.

More proof Of the cunning OF the
Rev. Hans Schmidt. the self-confessed
slayer of Anna Aumuller, was found
yesterday when the police went TO a
fiat at No 2562 Eighth avenue. which
the priest rented three days after ne
killed the woman.
The priest rented the apartment on
the night of September =, few hours
after the upper portion Of the torso of
Miss Aumuler was found in the Hud-
son River. near Shadyside.
Father Schmidt made only two visits
TO the fiat. The first was when he paid
a deposit of s. to bind the lease and
the second Oh tho following day. when
he left the apartment on Bradnurst
avenue, where he killed the girl, with
two sultcases filed with telltale evil
dence.
In one Of the suitcases was found
baby clothes that Miss Aumuller made
in anticipation of becoming u mother
In the other was a photograph Of
man in civilian clothes. wearing a
beard. which Inspector Faurot said was
a photograph of Father Schmidt.
The finding of the baby clothes
only one garment. a tiny chemise' WAS
completed-proves that the Aumuller
girl firmly believed that Schmidt would
shortly proclaim her TO the world Us
his wife. and that she could be proud
Of her approaching motherhood" said
Inspector Faurot last night. Schmidt
evidently hired the Eighth avenue Nat
TO aid him in concealing the evidences
Of his crime. He intended to transfer
all the discriminating articles from the
Bradhurst avenue apartment 10 the
Eighth avenue place and there dispose
Of them"
