ARREST OF MRS. BURKETT ON
 FORGERY CHARGE RECALLS
 FAMOUS WOMEN SWINDLERS
Woman Awaiting Trial Is Accused of Forging Name of Late Colonel Roosevelt-Had Been Maid to
 Noted Swindler

Montez" a dancer. She could not dance any too we'll, but it is said her beauty made other qualifications unnecessary for success. He eccntricit- ies became famous and often led to her banishment from various towns she visited, whose staid inhabitants would have none of the caprices of the dancer. At the age of twenty seven she met Ludwig, King of Ba- varia-. He was sixty, and it is said she represented to him the beauty and poetry of life that the exigncieS of his stern career had kept repressd in his nature She became his favor ite and was given the title of Coun- tess Landfe1dt and villa in the Barerstrasse.
 Died UnmoIrrned in Astoria
 Lola ruled over Ludwig's affections until 1S48, when European ferment young charmer, whose views were opposed to all conservatism. She was banished and Ludwig gave up the crown nine days later.
 America became Lo1a's Mecca after this period, and here she came to seek fortune on the stage. But her lack of serious accomplishments was not balanced here by her beauty and notoriety, so failure was inevita ble. She married later in the West, but returned in her old age to the East In Astoria, L. l., she died, unknown and unmourned.
 - In this lack of come1iness, coupled with success in deIuding men. Diss De Bar resemb1ed the late Cassie Chadwick, whose audacious exploits in fleecing financial kings are prominent in our annals of crime.
 How Cassie Chadwick Worked
 Her psychology of approaching a victim has been highly praised. The cash-loving Cassie always had a roll of hundred dollar bills with her, which she displayed care1essly when iy,cr ccih promptness in negotiating her wishes she always offered a little .bonus'' to her victim. This was usually hail. ed by men supposedly experienced as cial integrity.
 Mrs. Chadwick was eccentric even as young girl in Ontario, where she had calling cards which bore 'heiress to s15,ooo" after her name. On one occasion in her native land, when she collided with the law, she was decIar- ed to be insane.
 Found Big Business Men Easy
 She paid one loan with another and started an endless chain of indebt- edness. She needed securities and. being of resourceful nature, pro- ceded to manufacture them The late Andrew Carnegie's name was used on promissory notes and deeds Of trust. In fact, she pretended to be related to the famous man. On these forgd signatures she borrowed about a million and half from banks. In Cleveland she got s23O.0O0 from a bank which had to close it's doors on account of it's dealings with her.
 Letters of introduction from pastors helped along greatly. It was on one of these that she met and deaIth with Herbert Newton, of Boston, who if na1ly sued her and brought her affairs to light She was at last indicted in Ohio, arrested here and put into the Tomibs. In the second year of her fen years sentence Mrs. Chadwick died in jail Much of her life and affairs are still mystery.

OLD PEOPLE OF VIENNA SUFFERING,
 BUT ARE TOO PROUD TO ASK CHARITY

Vienna, Aug. 1.-'The old people of Vienna are slow to ask for help. i" writes Miss Clara Landsberg, of Chi cago. III, in an article on '~The Aus trian Intellectual Glass; for publica- ton in England. "Only after they have been refused work repeatedly on account of their age, or because their health has completely broken down and they realize themselves that the world will pay them noth- ing for what they can offer, will they apply to mission. for aid
 They are doing much for them selves. Every day in volksgarten one sees delicate old ladies taking children out walking. Ladies who formerly embroidered, or knit dain- ty gifts for their friends now sell their handiwork to help them to live One old pensioned general has taken to painting and his room is filled with pictures of the Semmering talk en from sketches he made in this oeauti1ul Austrian resort in the hap py time when Q year vacation there was a matter of course. A majors Widow, whom necessity has taught to do mending, begs to be allowed to mend and patch and darn in return Tor the old-age pension which the Fr1enos Mission gives to specially deserving cases One begs to be given translation to do, another offers to teach French or German, and still another seeks any sort of clerical work- Some ask pitifully if we cannot suggest any return they might make-anything to show their grat- itude and to lessen the burden of taxing a g1te from a stranger.

WAGE CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST LEPERS

Lisbin, Aug. IA campaign is be- ing conducted by the Seculo, the most w1dely-read newspaper in Portugal, against the freedom allowed to lepers in this country and the effects of their contact with healthy people. Portu gal has the sad privilege of posses sing the greatest number of lepers in any European country. Steps are already being taken to, at least, re- duce the danger of contagion inside the hospitals.
 Foreigners who visit this country are shocked at the sight of Epless, noseless lepers of both sexes begging in the streets selling toys and sweets to poor children. The Seculo asserts that one leper boy is employed at milking the cows in a dairy.
 These facts, added to statements made by leading physicians as to the danger of contagion, have so alarmed the population that it is thought that public opinion will force the authori- ties to adopt strenuous measures.
 Dr. Hermano Medeiros, Director of the Lisbon hospital, recently placed all the lepers in that institution in separate pavillions and even sur rounded a large area. with wire hedges beyond which the lepers are not now allowed to pass. The re- suit was that nearly all of them ask ed to be discharged and in comph- ance with the rules, they were allow ed to go

ternAHOnal NewS Seryice)
 New York, Aug. 1-FolIowing in she called Goddess and whom she served as personal maid, Mrs Emma Richardson Burkett, of Indiana, Is in the Tombs awaiting trial on the charge of forgery.
 Forging the name of the late Col onel Theodore Roosevelt on a note for s69,900 is the charge against this woman, who once waited upon that spook priestess and adventures whom it is alleged she has since emu lated, Ann Odelia Diss De Bar.
 Her former mistress's startling ca reer is recalled to mind by the ar rest of Mrs. Burkett, who has been positively identified as her maid. But the prisoner, although charged once before with a similar offense, does the same broad sweep of imagination that characterized Diss De Bar.
 Divorced wife of General Diss De Bar, the notorious woman swind1er married Theodore Jackson in Chi cago, and with him perpetrated many and various types of crime, including a religious cult.
 Diss De Bars Biggest Dupe
 Diss De Bars most notorious ven ture was the deluding of an old man of wealth and artistic taste. Luther Marsh, of New York, whom she de-

 For this hoax the "Goddess of the Shows" got sentence of twelve years But later she and Jackson ap- peared in London with their notori- ous cult, theorcratic unity,' the ma chtnauons of which brought them to the attention of Scotland Yard.
 The practices of their demoniac cult were barred to a shocked public A London court sentenced Jackson Bar to seven. But the "Queen'' of her followers survived, and finally came back to the United States to ap- pear in vaudeville.
 Not the least of her remarkable claims was Diss De Bars constant as- seruon that she was the daughter of the likewise notorious Lola Montez one-dme favorite of the poet-king. Ludwig. I, of Bavaria, now long since resting in Greenowod Cemetery. simply: Mrs. Eliza Gilbert"
 Career of Lola Montez
 Lola Montez's career was distin- gulshed if not for financial swindIing at least for the vicissitudes of her love affairs.

Little did the young bride groom realize that the young damseI he neglected would yet be the prize for whom kings and princes would compete.

CRITICAL OF
 DECLINE IN U. s. TRADE

.. Buenos Aires. Aug. 1--The decline in United States trade with South America, and particularly with Ar gentina, forms the subject of an out spoken article in La Epoca, the gov ernment organ.
 After explaining that it's present criticisms are written in the same friendly spirit were the enconiuns it has frequently voiced on former occasions, La Epoca points out that despite the business acumen and commercal foresight of American merchants, proved over and over again in a thousand ways, they have failed to hold the position they gained in the South American markets dur ing the war simply because they have refused to adopt methods calculated to suit Latin American conditions.
 They began their export operations against bills of lading and allowed the buyer no time to examine the goods or any opportunity to express his consent or otherwise. Later, concession of three months and, af- forwards, of six months credit was granted but the refusal to allow an examination of the goods continued.
 But as these extensions of credit have coincided with the extraordin- ary appreciation of the United States dollar in respect to Argentine cur rency, with the official prohibition to export Argentine gold, and with the high interest-some cases nine per cent.-charged by North American banks for discounting bills given in payment of American goods, these concessions have, in reality, 'con- ceded" nothing.
 Again North American investors have shown little inclination to put their money into South American en- terprises, says La Epoca, nor have their manufacturers consulted Latin American lasts in the preparations of articles destined for the Argentine markets. Again and again the ques- tionable businss methods of some of the agents of important northern firms have been denounced. Finally, the deficient transport services have tot been materially improved.
 If this were not nough, continues La Epoca, while the United States | Finance Minister chants anthems in praise of the "open door" policy | which is to eliminate favoritism and l unjust privileges, the government de- | crees an emergency tariff in protec- | ton of it's own producers which con- | stitutes a severe blow to Argentine l eXportation.
 Under these circumstances and in | the. name of Pan-American fraternity, | La Epoca urges the careful study of | the question in order to arrive at a | favorable solution of the difficulties mentioned. There are no fundamen- tai divergences to overcome but sim ply those of method, it says adding that harmonious relations are worth more than a few dollars in the Treas ury of either nation.

SHOW FEW SIGNS
 OF DEGENERACY

Budapest, Aug. 1. - Hungarian phrenologists who have made a care ful study of the skulls of 30 notorious red terrosists sentenced and hanged after the fall of Communism in this country have just reported that "Bol- shevik terrorists, though exhibiting signs of abnormality, seem not ito be- long to the type of born degenerate criminals
 All the 30 were members of Bella Runs fearful bodyguard called the 'Ienine-boys," all were found guilty of numerous murders and robberies and examined in their lifetime by the same doctors when under trial.
 ''The skulls,'' runs the report, '-are progn2thic characterized by an excep- tionally low forehead, deep eye-caves, big mouth, sharp potruding jaws, de- ficient dentition. When compared with the skulls of notorious murder CTS preserved in the museum of the police they show signs of degeneracy in a much less degree
 'The only exception is Joseph Cser- ny, the leader of the group whose skull is easily among the worst and most deformed specimens of human degeneration. When examined dur ing his trial the savage cruel look of his small evasive eyes startled even the professional doctors of crime. Small wonder that the Bo1shevik dic- tator of Hungary, Bella Kun, felt afraid of the man and never met his out previously slipping a revolver in to his pocket.
 The medical board holds the view that the Bolshevik terrorists. though undoubtedly degenerate individuals would under ordinary circumstances never have committed murder But their resistance to crime was much weaker than that of the civilized type and when the solid body of law and morality was shaking with revolu- tonary fever their nalf-slunn berine ferocious instincts reused up and ti,ev killed with the savage passion of the neOlithic man"
