man, the chief of police of Columbus,
Indiana, was the information contain
ed In telegram raceived' here Satur-
! day by Chief Of Police John NJ. Ken
ney from Hoffman. Hoffman asked
that Kenney arrest all three and hold
them here
None OF the three were taken into
custody by the local police. The mem
bers Of the company left here early
Sunday morning. They were billed
to play today at Grinnell. Iowa, and
on Tuesday and Wednesday at Des
Moines
Chief Kenney telegraphed to the
Columbus officer that copy of the
warrants should have been sent him.
Kenney wired. also, that the three
men wanted would be with the show
at Des Moines Tuesday and Wednes-
day and suggested Hoffman for
ward copies of the warrants to the
police at Dies Moines where Wells,
Adler and Goodman could be arrest
ed and held for him.
The amount of the alleged fraudu-
lent checks said to have been passed
by the three members OF the theatri-
cal company are not known here. The
Columbus chief Of police did not give
this information in his kilograms, nor
did other kilograms received contain
this information.
Why They were Not Held.
Chief kenney stated today that his
reason for not arresting and holding
the three men as requested by the
Columbus officer was that he would
be liable for damages If it should dc.
velop that any one Of the three could
prove themselves innocent Of the
charge filed against them at Column
bus. He said, also, that It would be
an easy matter for the police at Des
Moines to pick up the three men after
a copy OF the warrant is received
there.
1t was learned when the show play
ed here that the company had been
foundering near the rocks Of financial
distress for some time. Several mem
bers of the company stated before
leaving here Sunday morning that
money supplied by the Wells family
of Burlington enabled the show to
continue to Des Moines from this
place.
Wells Is Known Here.
"GilIy'' Wells, the dancer, and one
of the three said to be involved in
the passing of the alleged fraudulent
checks at Columbus, has been with
the show but a short time. He came
here with the show December at
the time of its first engagement in this
city but was not member of the
the show for several days after it
left here before returning to his home
in Burlington. He joined the COM

Iced Chocolate.-Melt four squares

Cotton crepe, in any degree of fine
ness, and therefore suited to many
sorts of garments, is perfectly adapted
to nightdresses. 1t may be used for
them In either the sheer or heavier
weaves, according to the ideas of the
wearer. Most of it is made in plain
white, but 1t comes also In the light
colors and in figured patterns showing
small flowers on a plain ground, so
that a selection can be made to suit
the style OF the nightdress. For there
are many styles to choose from, some
OF them plain to the length OF staid-
ness, and others elaborate to the verge
of frivolity.
Even the plainest styles, when made
up in the light tints of pink, blue,
maize, or the fowered patterns, have
the charm of pretty color to commend
them. The empire design is liked be-
cause it insures a graceful garment,
and no one could ask for greater sim
plicity. But among models that bid
for the favor Of those whose tastes are
severe are the straight, plain pajama
nightgowns made with high neck and
long sleeves. They have narrow
turned cuffs and collar finished with
Sseatherstitching in silk floss. A box
plait covers the opening at the 'front.'
which extends to the waist line. 1t
