FAMOUS DIAMOND
CROOKS CAFIURED
Paris Police Arrest Bavarian Noble
man and Learn That He is Lead
er of Band of Thieves.
PARIS, April 20—After an excit
ing chase extending over half the
countries of Europe, the police today
arrested Count Gelas, a Bavarian, and
four of his accomplices. They were
wanted, in connection with the theft
of valuable jewels from a diamond
merchant in this city some months
ago.
The identity of the famous crooks
came as a surprise to the police
men who made the arrests. The offi
cers were unaware of the importance
of their capture until the crooks were
identified at police headquarters as
the men for whom the police of half
of Europe were searching.
The arrest of Count Gelas and his
accomplices has revealed the exist
ence of a clever band of crooks which
have mulcted the jewelers of Euro
pean cities for hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Investigation has dis
closed the fact that they were just
about to put another of their schemes
into operation.
Count Gelas, who has been accept
ed by the highest society of the city,
occupied apartments in one of the
leading hostelries. He placed an or
der with jewelers for diamonds val
ued at more than $100,000 and had
arranged with his confederates to
rob the drummer of the diamond
merchants. The drummer was sus
picious and engaged the services of
policemen in plain clothes to guard
his precious burden. The disclosure
that the count was the head of a
band |of international thieves has
caused a sensation in the clubs and
social circles where he had been pop
ular.
STOLE MONEY;
TAM LIFE
George Holton, Minneapolis Stock
Broker, Spends Clients Money
and Commits Suicide.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., April 20.
—George Holton, a Minneapolis stock
broker, left the train at this place
yesterday and committed suicide by
drinking poison. He died a few hours
later in the local hospital here suf
fering intense agony.
Holton was a stock broker in Min
neapolis and had been entrusted by a
lady client with $12,000 for invest
ments in stocks, but he had spec
ulated with the money, expecting to
make some easy money on a quick
raise in mining stock, but the mar
ket turned and wiped out his mar
gins instead and also his client’s
money. He feared prosecution, so
determined to take his life, which he
did yesterday.
Relatives of the dead broker have
been notified and have claimed the
remains. The woman client has been
rendered almost ^penniless yby the
action of her broker, and so far
the police have been unable to find
enough of an estate to more than pay
the funeral expenses.

“Beauty Specialist."
St Louis.—A tiny photograph, small
er than a postage stamp, was the evi
dence upon which a Jury in Circuit
Judge Fisher’s court based a verdict
awarding Miss Edna Schonlaub, twen
ty years old, a judgment for 51,750
against Dr. James Taylor rinkstaff, a
"beauty specialist.” Miss Schonlaub
sued for 510,000 damages on the ground
of having been disfigured by an oper
ation on her nose.
The picture was introduced to show
how she looked before the operation
and how her beauty had been marred.
Her petition alleged Dr. Pinkstafif
agreed to correct a deformity in her
nose for 535 and that in treating her
he injected an excessive quantity of
paraffin, causing the nose to swell and
her eyeballs to become irritated. This,
she alleged, permanently disfigured her.

WITH BLANK MIND HE
MYSTIFIES A COLLEGE
Man Can Only Remember Three
Events In His Life.
Pullman, Wash.—The most remarka
ble case of lost Identity over brought
to the attention of the instructors
In psychology at the State college is
that of a man about thirty-five years
old, intelligent and of studious inclina
tions, who enrolled in the department
of civil engineering at the beginning
of the college year. lie gives the name
of William Summerville, but the col
lege authorities have no proof that
thut is his true name.
Every recollection of his past life is
blotted from his memory with the ex
ception of three items.
Summerville says that he remembers
clearly that his parents were drowned
in the Galveston flood. Besides this,
he has a faint remembrance of seeing
Maude Adams, the actress, and of be
ing a member of a surveying crew in
central Washington some months ago.
An examination of Summerville by
the college professors in psychology
shows that he has an acquaintance of
surveying instruments, but that be Is
deficient In a knowledge of mathemat
ics essential to tbe practical surveyor.
He has proved an industrious stu
dent and spends much spare time in
the college library reading works on
history and science. He seems famil
iar with textbooks on botany and trig
onometry.
Summerville is tall and well built
and speaks with a southern accent.
He is paying his expenses at the col
lege by day labor on tbe new college
building.

hungry soldier at Valley Springs, Va..

Mr. Thorne in talking of the affair
said be was the commissary sergeant
at Valley Springs. He recalls the cir
cumstances, but never knew who re
ceived the bag of potatoes and the
bam.
The potatoes and bam had been pur
chased at a local grocery by a stron
