American of Wealth Is Held Prisoner
by Conspiring Lovers.

American of Wealth Is Held Prisoner
by COnspiring Lovers.
Members of the American embassy
at Paris, in cooperation with Consul
Jones, stationed at Lyons, are inves-
tigating an unusual case reported
from the mountainous region of Au-
vergne, where it is alleged an Ameri-
can of wealth, James Samuel Slater,
has been held captive for several
months by French chauffeur, NAM
ed Andre Biscayne, and a pretty
Dutch girl, with whom the American
had been acquainted for some time.
According to the story related to
the American officials Slater met
the girl, who gives the name Of
Aimee Roosnal Nepv,le, soon after
the war broke out, and showered
upon her various gifts anc diamonds
and purchased handsome automo-
biles. He engaged Biscayne as a
chauffeur and later the trio started
on an extensive tour through Bor-
Geaux, Nice, Toulouse and Vichy.
Held American Captive.
The beauties of Vichy were point
ed out to the American and he was
induced to rent beautiful and his
toric chateau, the owner of which
was at the front. Slater paid the
sum of S1,400 for the use of the
property and, as soon as the party
took possession, the chauffeur and
the woman made Slater a prisoner
binding him with ropes and placing
him in a stable, where he was care.
fully guarded by man hired by the
consiprators. In order to maintain
the house in style Biscayne each
week compelled Slater to sign check;
! for large amounts.
The chauffeur and Miss Nepvue
some months ago, went to Nice where
they visited a magistrate and were
married. During their absence from
the chateau Slater managed to make
his plight known. Authorities of the
district were notified and when the
newlyweds returned from their hon
eymoon they were placed under ar
rest. The guard confessed his par
in the conspiracy, stating that he haC
been paid the sum of $50 a month
to guard Slater, having been told by
the chauffeur and woman that the
man was a relative and that his minC
had become affected by the war.

ed if They Remained.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-The entire
Jewish population of Jaffa, Palestine,
about 5000 men, women and chill
dren of many nationalities, were
forced by the Turks to evacuate
their homes and flee from the city,
according to a cablegram received
here.
The roads leading from Jaffa were
thronged with starving people, some
dying by the roadside, and mutilat-
ed bodies of rich Jews were found
on the sand dunes, the message said.
Two Jews were hanged " as an in
dication of the fate in store for any
Jews who might be so foolhardy" as
to oppose hooters. Bedouin Turks
and women sacked the Jewish homes
while the jewellers were departing
and all valuables were stolen.
Mohammedans and Christians were
allowed to remain if they had individ-
ual permits, the cablegram stated,
but every Jew, even those who were
Austro- Hungarians, Bulgarian and
German, was ordered out. No free
transportation was afforded, but
every fleeing person who paid from
100 to 200 francs in gold was fur
nished carriage space for ride of
nine miles to another town.
Prior to the evacuation of Jaffa,
the message said, 800 Jews were de-
ported in "a cruel manner" from
Jerusalem.
