WANT MISS MALONE.
Detectives Believe Harrison Has no
Clue to Woman's Whereabouts.

Washington, May is.-Now that
Sidney B. Harrison, former manager
of the brokerage office of n. L. Car
.Ienter G. Co., has been apprehended
and released on bond for his apear-
ance in court to answer a charge of
embezzlement, renewed efforts are
being made by the police 70 get some
clue to the whereabouts Of Harrisons
assistant, Miss Alice E. Malone, who
has been missing since December 19
last.
Harrison and Miss Malone are
both under Indictment for embezzle-
ment. Harrison is alleged to have
taken $4,000 belonging to the firm,
while Miss Malone is accused of the
embezzlement of $4,000.
Detectives say they are convinced
Harrison is telling the truth in say
ing he has not seen Miss Malone
since they separated in front of the
brokerage office on the day both left
the city, and that he has not been
in communication with her at any
time, nor has any knowledge of her
whereabouts.
Following Harrison's arrest at
Pierce Station, Va, by Central Of
flee Detective Charles Evans and
Detective Guy Walsh, of the Seventh
precinct, the police endeavored to
obtain from Harrison some state
ment regarding the disposition of
the money he and Miss Malone are
are alleged to have embezzled. He
declined, however, to make any
statement
The police believe the money was
lost in speculation, and that neither
Harrison nor Miss Malone had
much of the money when they left
Washington 1t is thought by the
detectives that Harrison had return
ed to this part Of the country in the
hope that some settlement could be
made whereby the charge of embez-
Element would be dropped, and had
not the detectives swooped down un-
sxpectedly on him it is believed that
within a few days settlement with
the Carpenter Company would have
baen submitted through the young
brokers' friends.

SITUATION
Z. IN COLORADO
Miners Given Until Monday
to Disarnl-Distrust-
full Of Each Other.
COL. LOCKETT'S ORDER.
Major Holbrook Urges Miners to Obey
Observation-Disclosures Still Be-
lieved to be Serious.

Trinidad, COL, May S.-All arms
of strikers and coal mine guards in
southern Colorado must be turned
over to United States troops by
Monday, according to a proclamation
said to have been tentatively pre-
pared today by Colonel James Lock-
cit, commanding the regulars here,
and scheduled 10 be issued tonight.
Major William A. Holbrook, Lock-
ett's chief aid, today resumed his
tour through the coal camps of Las
!Animas and Hueriano counties, adj
dressing gatherings of strikers at
Sopris, Rouse, and Rugby. He is
urging the miners to obey the forth
coming proclamation without par
ley.
Neither Colonel Lockett nor Major
Holbrook, however, conceals the be-
lief that the situation is serious. The
bitter hatred engendered between
strikers and mine guards during the
long strike has not diminished with
the arrival of United States soldiers.
Instead, strong. feeling of distrust
between the parties to the conflict
has developed.
Leaders of the strikers assert that
unless at least five hundred rifles
are surrendered by operators, it
will be clear they do not intend to
obey entirely the disarmament Or
der. Operators, on the other hand,
say the strikers must surrender 800
to 1000 guns or It will be evidence
they are acting in bad faith. The
probability is that neither side will
turn in anything like the number of
weapons named. Strike leaders say
only about 200 rifles remain in the
possession of the strikers.
Colonel Lockett today denied re-
ports that the Presidents disarma-
ment order would be construed to
refer to peace officers in the strike
zone.

SELECTION OF MEDIATORS.
PerplcXing Problem Said TO be Fac
ing the Administration.

litS TIC -AuHtiiiiStIdliOh.
Washington, May S.-Selection of
of representatives Of this country to
act with the A. B. C. mediators was
today the most perplexing problem
confronting the Administration. The
fact that the negotiations at Niagara
Falls are certain to be long drawn
out makes it imperative that men be
named who can abandon their per-
sonal affairs for an indefinite period.
There are few individuals so situ-
yt-.d who .re- big e,onyh for the
job.
1t was stated today that should
the President persuade two or three
justices of the Supreme Court to
act for the United States, the en-
tire work of that court would be dis
arranged, as it is at present con-
fronted with one of the heaviest doc
kets in its history
AS result the question proved a
topic of serious discussion at TO-
days Cabinct meeting, as did the
latest note from Great Britain, cal

friendly terms. 10 the fact that Eng

Coxcn, English manager of the Vera
Cruz street railway system, is held
a prisoner by General Mas at Sole

1t is admitted that outragcs to
foreigners or Americans at this time
would end forever any prospect of
the mediators arranging peaceful
settlement of the Mexican situation.
In addition to these cases there is

Total to lU A. vi. May 0, PSo'oV"'->
The Hospital executive committee
were very much gratifiee. last night
over the fact that up to noon yester-
day they had been able to place upon
the score board the grand total of S25,'
249,53. which was practically secur-
ed by the canvas, which began just
two weeks ago, to the day. 1t seems
astonishing that such an amount could
have been realized in so short time,
,cialy as the committees were
com oelled to give a part of their time
20 neir own business. In this con-
an".ion it may be interesting to state
-s the ana6an4 rcpHaSerteh =yer;s';;ed
5io7 from every man. woman an
.s in the city Of Alexandria. Last
,ngnr the above amount was ircraastd
SO as to show $25. .4G4, which was
placed upon the boar& last night.
In addition to this sum the large
number of subscriptions came in yes.
ter;ay. The list that was published in
the Hospital issue of the the Gazette
last night showed contributions b.,
three hundred and sixty-fve churches
organizations. public; and private
schools, and individuals. This: mum!
Der of contributions did not nearly
reach the actual figures, because the
names of those who sent in cash
through the lady board of managers
were omitted though the cash was
included.
The names published last night were
only those where pledges and cash
had been turned over to the treasurer,
and did not include, number O.
known ,contributionsawhich .:hal not
reached his hands The same is ap-
rlicable to organizations and schools.
:: 1t is. hoped that each contributor
will appoint themselves active agent:
and seclre*: additions: to, the amounts
already Ireceived.: The fact that such
large sum has already been subSc-ib:
ed should; afford notsonly satisfaction
but should urge all to work harder
than ever to complete the $4,000
needed.

The Hunted Man.

an unclouded sky-a day Of brass and

human ears disturbed the MONDAY

and ceased only when man broke
into the clearing, pulled up, stood for
an instant swaying, then reeled to
seat on the log, pillowing his head on
arms folded across his knees and shud-
dering uncontrollably in all his limbs.
He was young man who had been
and would again be very personable.
Just now he wore the look OF one
bounded by furies. His face was Grim
son with congested blood and streaked
with sweat and CRIME; blush veins
throbbed in high relief upon his tenn
pies; his lips were cracked and swol-
len, his eyes haggard, his hands torn

With stricken cry the girl crouched
back in the chair and covered her face
with her hands.
That is why I sent for you," Mr.
Digby pursued hastily, as if in hope
Of getting quickly over most unhap-
py business. "Alan's letter, written
and posted on the steamer, reached me
within twenty-four hours Of his arrival
in Quebec, and detailed his scheme to
enter the United States secretly-as
he puts it, by the back door, by way

There was no need to finish out his

Two more shots put a period to

turned at once to launch one Of the
canoes.
AS soon as it was in the water, Rose

figures debouching into the clearing.
