SAID TO BE IN NEW YORK
Doctors Croneck and Koch Seen in
Washington Station

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21-A clue was
received by the Navy Department today
in the search for Doctors Croneck and
Koch, of the interned German raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich. They were seen
here last Sunday taking a train for New
York in the Pennsylvania Station. BY a
peculiar coincidence a naval officer saw
and talked with the fleeing men. Au-
thorities of the New York Navy Yard
and Department of Justice agents today
were asked to search there for the fugi-
tives, who are believed to have planned
to sail for some neutral European port
Description of the two doctors and the
six missing officers who fed from the
Kronprinz Wilhelm on the yacht Eclipse
have been telegraphed TO every naval sta
ton
Secretary of State Lansing today was
considering the draft of a request TO Ger
many to return any of the fugitiVes who
may succeed in reaching Germany.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels today
ordered a census taken OF the Germans
remaining on the Eitel Friedrich. With
this list the Department will be able to
check up the exact number OF missing
men.

WASHINGTON MODISTES
FAVORED BY MRS. GAIT
Presidents Fiancee Says She
Buys Little in Baltimore,
Nothing in New York

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2l.-Mrs. Norman
Gait bride-to-be of the President. soothed
the ruffied feelings of Washington
modistes today by letting 1t be known
positively that reports of her buying this,
that and the other thing i'm various cities
are highly exaggerated. Indeed, II was
said, every gown that will go into the
wedding wardrobe will bear the label of
Washington shops. AS for Baltimore,
blouses and lingerie are the only pur-
chases there, and as for New York not a
feather.
Mrs. Gait was heiress to big mer-
camille business in this city and she
has that buy-it-at-home sentiment.
The next mistress of the White House.
1t is developing, draws deal of pleas
ure out of her shopping, as secret as
she has managed to keep the details,
Dressing has been something of an art
with her ever since the days when she
was one of a family of beautiful girls
with a proud name to live up to and only
reasonable funds with which to do It
She still can cut, fit and make up frocks
and in the matter of millinery can poise
a wing or twist a ribbon with all the
skill of a trained hand. These things,
certain fortunate Washington modistes
are learning.

SUFFRAGIST'S HEARERS
SHOW THEIR CHTyALRY
Men Eject Objectionable Mem
ber of Their Sex From
Speakers Audience

The chivalry OF Philadelphia men was
demonstrated in convincing fashion to-
day, when hundreds of listeners. who
had gathered around Miss Bertha sapo-
Wits, orator from the Equal Franchise
camp. at one Of the longest noon-day
meetings on record. disrupted the meet
ing in order to eject an Objectionable
member Of the audience from their midst
and chase him up Market street.
After speaking to a floating audience,
which spectators declared numbered not
less than 600 at any time and which tan
gled up the traffic for a short while, Miss
Sapovits volunteered to answer questions
and clear up the clouds of doubt that
might be befogging the brains OF her
hearers.
The crowd was interested and sought
information on the suffrage attitude con-
cerning everything from national pre-
paredness to what the women were going
to do with their babies and market baskets
on voting mornings.
The little suffragist answered them with
spirit. But one of the listeners showed
an ugly turn and seemed not so much TO
desire enlightenment as to embarass the
speaker. Finally he asked her a question
of a personal and insulting nature.
The audience roared its disapproval
and not waiting for the suffragist to take
action wedged the man out of the crowd
He eluded the grasp of the indignant
men who were escorting him, and beat
it, summarily up into the shopping dis
trict.

gems were snatched from window Most
OF the jewelry was dropped by the thieves
IN their Hight, and recovered.
Both men are believed by the police

pair around the neighborhood for an hour.

REMEDY FOR CATARRH
II. H0dgins Guarantees That HyOmei
VIII Relieve the Worst Cases of
Catarrh in Moscow

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Moscow guarantees thai
medicine will produce benefit or he
will refund the money, it speaks vol
umes for the merits of that remedy
1t is in this way that R. Hodgins is
selling Hyomei, the treatment that
has helped so many cases of both
acute and chronic catarrh in Moscow
and vicinity
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a
spray or a lotion that must be rub
bed in. 1t is an oil. the air of which
you just breathe in your nose, throat
and lungs by the aid of an inhaler
that comes with every outfit. Bene-
fit will usually be seen from the very
first treatment.
This air destroys all germ life in
the air passages and lungs and en-
riches and purifies the blood with
the additional ozone it supplies. 1t
banishes catarrh of the head and
throat and respiratory organs. Wher-
ever these mucous membranes con-
tain catarrhal germs, there Hyomei
will do it's work of healing.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and includes an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei for

relieve you R. Hodgins will refund
