Suspecting that an organized gang OF
swindlers is operating on steamships.
preying chiefly on wealthy American
travellers Scotland Yard aided by steam
ship company detectives Is following the
clews of three bold robberies In an at
tempt to round up the gang.
Important information was given by
Dr. William l.. Cave, a Philadelphia
dentist, who sailed on the Homeric to-
day after borrowing enough money TO
get home. DIR. Cave when he crossed on
the Homeric was robbed of travellers
checks and jewelry valued at $500. He
told the police that there were three
or four professional thieves and gam
blers aboard who victimized several pas
sengers beside himself.
While DR.. Cave was absent from his
cabin his luggage was ransacked plac-
ing him In such position that he was
forced to borrow money and abandon
his tour. He stated that another pas
senger was swindled out Of $1,100 at
cards. The numbers of some of the
checks given to the gamblers are known

On the same passage the luggage Of
William Pollard was lost and he also
lost $1,000 in cash. A woman and a

taken ashore by ship officials. but a
woman claiming to be Pollard's aunt
obtained possession of the keys and
took away the luggage. The robbery
was discovered when Mrs. Pollard ar
rived at Southampton and said Pollard
had no aunt. The suspects arrested
here will be turned over to the South

wore upon her left hand, removed It and

which the ring was presented to her, she
glanced lovingly to the spot where she
had tenderly placed 1t.

After a frantic search. without result,
Miss Linnan called tire detectives to her
cid. Promptly the sleuths decided the
King must have been knocked into a
waste basket prior to the time when 1t
was emptied by a janitor who sold its
contents to a Wholesale paper concern.
The ''Hawkshaws" called at the ware
house Of the paper company only to
learn that they had disposed of that par
ticular lot of paper to another concern.
They fastened to the second warehouse
and, after bursting open a huge bale of
paper about to be shipped to st. Louis

From society woman to president OF
large corporation sounds like long jour
ney, but Mrs. Isabel L. Wharf, just made
an overnight trip of 1t.
In just that length Of time she was
graduated from matinees, teas and other
feminine delights to the more sophisticat-
edd type of entertainment offered by d.
rectors' meetings and business confer
ences.
Until she assumed the management of
a large advertising business In New York,
with branch offices in several Of the
larger cities. she had had no business
training.
She had never given much thought to
the matter of woman's place. taking for
granted it was in the home.
So when she entered the private ofr1cs
that had been her husbands and took up
the business that had been his she had no
theories as to how a business should be
run and no pre1uciceS against any new
methods.
She possessed what we call the open
mind.
AT first, just sat at my desk and alb
sorbed the atmosphere OF business about
me-" she says. Then I began to learn
the various departments of work and
worked up a splendid enthusiasm for
every detail OF It.
Now I am devoted to my work, and
would not leave It for anything.
THE foundation upon which I have
built my business is this:
I'VE are in business to render service,
and 1t is by rendering service to the best
OF our ability that we make our success.
II make 1t a point to see to 1t that
everyone In my employ not only gives
service but courteous service. can
forgive mistakes OF ignorance. or even
Of carelessness, but I cannot forgive dis
courtesy on the part OF those In my en-
ploy. They break down IN a few minutes
what 1 have tried for Eve years to build
up.
''I have found a sqIareness about bust
ness. and the people who are In II, did
not believe existed. l believe thorough
~ in the great American public"
In the five years during which Mrs.
Wharf has managed the business 1t has
grown rapidly and its profits a steady
gain.
Recently Mrs. Wharf was married
again. and now IN private life she is
Mrs. Rogers but in business she retains
the name under which she made her
own success. She believes the good will
It carries should not be sacrificed.
