WAS FAMOUS STAR
"Cissic" LOTUS, Mentioned in London
Dispatches Yesterday Was Well
Known Years Ago.

New York, Nov. 11.-London, dis
patches telling of the arrest of Marie
Cecile ("Cissie") Lotus for illegal
possession of drugs brought TO the
United States the first news for some
time of an actress who in years gone
by starred in this country and Eng
land on both the legitimate and
vaudeville stages.
Born in England she showed at
an early age an aptitude at mimicry.
London audiences hailed her as a
child prodigy for her limitations Of
Sarah Bernhardt Yvette Guilbert and
other celebrities Of the period. AM
erican audiences were similarly de-
lighted with her.
Finally she left vaudeville for
drama, being notably successful as
co-star with Sir Henry Irving In
Faust, IF Were King" and
Peter Pan et sU
She startled her followers on both
continents when during a vaudeville
engagement in London she eloped
with Justin Huntley Mccarthy, Eng
fish dramatist, from whom she was
divorced in America some years later.
In 1909 she was married to DIR. A.
H. Waterman of Chicago and an
nounced her intention to abandon the
stage.

SENSATION SPRUNG
I AT BASS0N HEARING
Man Accused Of EInbezzlement
Tells Of Arson Suggestion

Decision was reserved to Monda,
morning by Judge G. w. Klett to.
day In the case of Isadore Basson
!, charged with embezzlement from the
store conducted by Lyman Karp al
Ss1 Main street. The hearing was 9
long one featured by tits between
Prosecuting Attorney j. G. Woods and
Lawyer D. L. Nair on the law on en-
bezzlement. and in the course of the
hearing sensation charges were
made by the defendant that Irving
Levy, manager for Karp, had sug-
gested arson because of poor bust
ness. 1t was intimated that others
may be implicated.
Basson had been employed BY
Karp about five months as manage
of the suit department. In all, IS
suits of clothing, bought at auction
at $12 each, have been unaccounted
for and the finger Of suspicion point
ed at Basson. The police were noti-
fed and Acting Detective Sergeant
Matthias Rival was detailed to in
vestigate. From Karp he received in
formation that caused him to inter-
view George Sadis Sadis said he
bought two suits from Basson paying
IS each for the garments and was
given three pairs of trousers without
charge, about three weeks ago. In
terviewed at headquarters, the &C
cused said he was repaying favor
hence the low charge to Sadis. "
Irving Levy, the manager, said
Basson agreed to settle for s gar
ments at $19 each. There were no
witnesses to the alleged offer. He
said he had seen Sadis in the store
often.
Sadis, on the witness stand, adj
mitted the purchase of two suits for
SIS each and receiving three pairs or
trousers for nothing. He also said he
suspected there was something wrong,
but since that was the price asked,
that was what he paid.
Basson said he was employed as
assistant manager and In charge of
the clothing department. To Sadis he
claimed that as manager of the cloth
ing department he had the privilege
of selling for. whatever price he want
ed to ask. The orders given clerks
are to sell for any amount, not allow
ing any customer to leave the store
without a purchase, If possible, he
told Judge l<lett The trousers were
sold to Sadis last Monday, he said.
He told of an alleged conversation be-
tween the manager and himself, last
Monday night after an unusually bad
business day.
Claims Levy Suggested Fire
Business is rotten. We ought to
do something know what, but
don't think karp would stand for It,"
Levy is alleged to have said.
When he asked what the proposal
was, Basson says Levy replied:
Lets have fire in the store"
s When the accused expressed fear
that II would mean jail term,
Levy was angered and they have
been ION the outs" since Monday, he
said.
John j.. Barry. formerly manager
for Katp testified that the store does
not employ the one price method,
but that clothing is sold for what /,
viii bring. provided the department
head sanctions the new price.
Evidence was uncontradicted that
Karp had taken IL suits out OF the
store at one time and that on an
other occasion so suits were sold to
a man going to California, at SIS a
suit.

support. will be tried Monday morn

quested a continuance to that day.

FIVE Mill TAX IS
ADOPTED INBERLIN
Property Owners in Worthington
Fire District to Be Assessed
------ - 4
FOR WATER MAIN EXTENSION ]
About IS In Attendance and Vote OF
4 Thanks Is Given Committee-Boy
scouts Meet W. sunday in the
Churches.

v
BsFAt a meeting of the Worthingtor
FIRE district held in the Town hall
last evening it was decided to levy 9
five-mil tax on all taxable property
situated within the district. This tax
is to be due and payable on May 1
1923. 1t Is to be levied to meet the
tax OF the water district and has moth
ing to do with the previous three4
mill tax which was levied for the
lighting of the, district.
Rates, rules and regulations of the
Worthington water service were
adopted and section Z, which pro-
vided for the extension of the mains
service beyond the present system
was tabled until the next annual
meeting.
It was felt that in view OF the large
expenditure at the present time and
the fact that the present bond issue
Of $36, 900 IS not adequate to pay for
the extension, it would be imprac-
teal to spend more money.
"A The Ssecond reason for tabling the
section was that there were quite a
few present, Including members Of
the committee. who questioned
whether the committee should have
the sole power or determining the flu
ture extensions, as was proposed by
section Z. It. was generally felt that
the district at large should have more
voice in the matter of extensions.
The rules and regulations were
drafted by the consulting engineers,
Crowley & Oldershaw.
p The action Of the district commit
tee in purchasing fittings and sup
plies for individual installations was
ratified and the committee was in
structeds to receive applications and
make connections as rapidly as pos
sible. Gs ~
n There was considerable discussion
as to sthe method of int' idual in
stallations Of service, There were a
number present who expressed their
desire to make their own connections
using their own material. The rules
and regulations, however, provide for
q uniformity in the size and quality
of the material used. This is done in
order to prevent losses through leaks
which might occur between the mains
and the meters.
It was the sense Of the meeting that
the committee should endeavor to OBJ
tain bids for the installation Of the
individual water supplies. However.
sentiment seemed to be opposed to
compelling all who have the service
to employ the same plumber.
The resolution to levy. the five mill
tax In order to meet expenses was
proposed by Francis Deming. There
was a discussion regarding this reso-
luton and George A. Prentice pro-
posed that the tax be levied on a
combined grand list and foot frontage
basis. However, this proposal s'did
not carry
The committee was further in
structed to petition the legislature. In

AMERICAN WIDOW STILL
SEEKS DUKES PROPERTY
Duchess of oporto to Ask President
and Premier of Portugal to
Help Prove Claims. -s

LISBON, July IS - The American
widow ofsthe Duke of oporto is still
in Lisbon continuing her efforts TO
obtain possession of furniture and
other property which belonged to her
husband. She has become a well
known figure in the waiting rooms of
the various ministries. She has now
gone into the Portuguese courts to
prove fully and le Z ly that she is
the only lawful heil to all the NOV
able goods of his late royal highness
Prince Alfonso de Braganza. Duke
of Oporto. brother of the late King
Carlos"
The Duchess of Oporto was prom-
inent in New York society as Mrs
Philip Van Valkenburg. Before her
several marriages she was Miss Ne
vada Hayes. She is a woman of
wealth and was married to the duke
in 1917.
The difficulties of the duchess to-
day arise from the fact that il IS
contended in Lisbon that the duke
left many of his personal belongings
to Portugal. and that number of
these artistic ard valuable posses
sions already have been removed to
various museums. The duchess has
called as witnesses, according to To-
cal newspapers. the President of Por-
tugal. the premier of the republic,
the Portuguese minister to Spain at
the time of her civil marriage to the
duke. and other persons of prom
