French Bride
Missing; Kidnap
Plot Suspected
Witness Tells of Seeing
Man Push Soldiers
Wife Into Broadway Taxi;
Diary Relates Loneliness
Rich Merchants Daughter
Police Believe Girl Tried
to Return to Her Home {:
Was Red Cross Worker

Mrs. Antoinette La Rue Kane, nine
teen years old, stenographer and
native of Bordeaux, France, who was
active in Red Cross and similar work
in that city during the war, was re-
ported missing to the police yesterday
by her husband, Thomas j. Kane. OF
243 West Twenty-second Street, for
mer service man. According to wit
ness questioned by detectives of the
missing persons bureau, the young
FRENCH bride was kidnapped on Broad
way near Ninth Street shortly after
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The police, however, have obtained
evidence in the form of letters and
diary which tends to strengthen the
theory that loneliness may have led
the young woman to return or ATTEMPT
to return to her home in France. The
missing French bride is said to have
been estranged from her family as
result OF her wartime marriage to
Kane, Who served as sergeant in the
signal Corps: Because of the infuen-
tai position held by the La Rue family
IN Bordeaux, the belief has been ex-
pressed that it's representatives in this
country may have been instructed to
take Antoinette from her soldier hus-
band by force. Mrs. Kane was en-
Lyman & Shevall COMPANY at 715
broadway, and was in charge of two
branches of their foreign correspond
ence.
She left the Offices at o'clock or
Saturday afternoon as was her custom
AS she passed out of the building she
stopped to exchange a word of greeting
with the scrubwoman who was begin
ming her work on the steps of the
building. This scrubwoman told the
police that as Mrs. Kane reached the
corner of Broadway and Ninth Street
a black taxicab came around the cor
ner, slowed up, and a man stepped out
on the running board and pushed her
INTO the tonneau. The machine then
sped down Broadway.
Kane, who was planning to meet his
wife IN front of the Hyman e. ShevaN
offices, arrived a few minutes later. He
laughed and told the scrubwoman "to
cut out her kidding" when she told
nm that his wife had been abducted.
He returned to his home and did not
report his wife missing until yester-
day morning
Mrs. Kane was Antoinette La Rue,
daughter of Louis La Rue, wealthy
Bordeaux merchant and stockholder
OF the French Line Steamship Com
pany. Before she was seventeen she
ENLISTED Tor Red Cross work and was
leader in that work during the war.
She met Kane at war benefit in Bor-
deaux and they were married in spite
of her parents objection.

numerous dancers who had been en-
joying the evening at the Casino began
looking around for detectives, and a
free-for-all fight began.
The tinkle of falling glass mingled
with the crash of broken furniture, and

Watch Dogs Battle
Jersey Hunters for
Buried Treasure
Thrice Drive OFF Intr1dcrs
at Night, but Guard Over
Supposed Golden Cavern
Fails to Trap Trespassers

CALDWELL. n j., Aug. 21.-Evi-
dence that certain unidentified citizens
Of this city are not as willing to take
so placid view of buried treasure as
is +. W. Robischon, on whose property
money cache is believed to have been
located and in which Mr.. Robischon re-
fuses to become interested, was given
last night, when the place was invaded
three times, presumably by persons
whose desires had been fired by the re-
ports Of buried gold.
Partly in anticipation of such inva-
sions and partly to protect his land
from curious trespassern, Mr.. Rob-
ischon yesterday took the precaution Of
placing an armed guard and two Ger
man police dogs in the vicinity of the
treasure cave.
Three times during the night the
property was invaded, and as Mr.. Rob
lschon has given notice that his place
is closed to trespassers and as the
visitors reached point where they
would not have gone except for def
mite purpose, it is believed that some
one was making al attempt to locate
the recently discovered cache. Each
tune the ntruders were chased away
by the police dogs before the armed
guard could arrive on the scene.
Mr.. Kobischon is the owner of the
torper Schumann-H eink estate, near
here, where there was discovered last
week by a gardener a cave which is be-
Heved to hold the reputed buried gold
OF William Basthorn, a German reserve
ofilcer, who was murdered during the
war, presumably by Japanese.
Local gossip is not alone responsible
for the report. A German priest. who
was close friend Of Basthorn's, told
Mr.. Robischon three years ago that
bAsthorn had told him Of the efforts of
the Japanese to kill him and OF the
precaution he had taken to keen them
from obtaining his wealth by burning il
on the Schumann-Heink estate The
story was further confirmed b. Miss
Zelda Schumann-Heink, who told y
frend OF Mr.. Robischons that the gold
was buried on her mothers former
property.
Despite this testimony that gold lies
witnln the cache and may be had for
the taking, Mr.. Robischon declares him
self not Interested and has ordered the
mouth OF the cavern sealed again. The
state, ne adds, would take 80 per cent
OF his lind, so why shouldn't he sinnlv
leave the money unbound, if it is there
and enjoy the conjecture of whether
the treasure does or does not lie Mt
hand? az

scruowoman is an unknown person who

But when the mop irvades the home
Its wielder has to be encountered in

so she demands So day and up--chief-

enough to help her along during the
day and send her home happy and well
fed. Until the scrubwomen began to
take the union idea seriously their
mistrcsses were disposed to band
themselves together and boycott the
100000 Marthas. But now they are too
late. They have been checkmated and
some say they may as we'll realize the
golden glow of Martha by the Day be-

long been with. them in heart and soul;
now she is with them officially and by
virtue of charter from the American
Federation of Labor One thousand of
New York's 5000 scrubwomen joined

% st. Marks Place. Matthew Tlorie,
corresponding secretary Of the union,
said yesterday that he believed the
would soon be in line. Meetings are
being called throughout the country
to organize the 100000 involved.
The opinion was expressed yesterday
by employers that this move will mere
ly ratify the independence of the al
ready independent scrubwoman. They
insist that there Is not more for
tunate body of manual workers in the
city. A mother of FIVE expressed trepi-
dation at the thought Of dealing with
the emancipated Martha. Without any
union Martha is a problem, but with
organized labor backing, the scrub
woman will be nothing short of q
menace, she declared.
