17-year-old Parisian girl, missing slnco No

and relates nn extraordinary story concern
ing her absence.
Sho Bald she visited tho exhibition on
tho closing day with n girl friend younger
than herself. While they were strolling
through tho Ruo Alger her friend became
oparated from her In the crowd. She
looked and waited vainly for her.
While MIbs Torolo was stopping heforo a

Arab sallorman spoko to her. Sho said
she had lost n girl friend. He replied
that ho bad seen tho girl enter a houso
near by. Ho escorted her there and led
her to tho second story, where her guide
spoko to another Arab In a foreign lan
guago.
"Your friend Is there," said the second
man, pointing to another room. As ohc
entered It n cloth was thrown over her
head. It was saturated with a strong
drug which rendered tho girl unconscious
Whon alio recovered sho found herself
bound and gagged. On tho next day tho
same, man came and said: "Got ready for
a long voyago "
Ho carried her to nn adjoining room and
placed her In a long box, partially filled
with rugs nnd noft stuffs. He tied her
body so thnt U was Impossible for her to
move, except 'to havo the partial use of
ouo arm. Besldo hor head was placed a
small dish holding grains. Then hor enptor
said: "Eat whon you are hungry. Fear
nothing. Thcro Is no danger; wo will
tako you to a sunny country to be a rich
man s wife."
In front of tho glrl'B face were a number
of airholes In tho box. Tho girl says nhe
romembers tho lid was adjusted and then
sho dreamed sho was dead. She has no
recollection thereafter except that for a
tlmo never seeming' to end all was dark

Though her brain was dulled, sho was
conscious of traveling on trains and boats
and constantly bearing hor captor's fa

After what seemed a century her tomb

Around her were green trees, strange
sights nnd odd people. Tho girl becamo

PARIS. Jan. 5. (Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Richard
Crokcr has not yet returned to Wantage.
Ho Is still staying at tho Walslngham hotel,
where, however, tho Janitors steadfastly
deny his presence.
Crokcr's non-nppearanco nt Wantago to
piosecuto his appeal against tho $5,000 In-
cemo tax assessment Is taken to mean that
ho Intends to pay tho Incomo tax.
Tho assessors, In tho usual way, served
him with u lengthy array of questions con
corning his Incomo nnd expenditures in
BUblnlnraent of their assessment of his
yearly income- at $100,000. Any false or
misleading nnswer to these Inquiries would
lay him open to n heavy flno or prosecu
tion for perjury. It Is assumed that Croker
concluded it wns better to pay tho $.1,000
demanded and so temporarily end the
troublcsomo business. Tho practlco of in
como tux assessors, especially where an ap
peal Is abandoned. Is to lncreaso tho
nmount of tho assessment each succeeding
year about 30 per cent until the taxpayer
makes a stand and proves he is overtaxed
So Croker has only postponed tho evil day
when bo must fight tho Income tax as
sessors by making full dlsclosuro of his re
ceipts and expenditures.
Croaker sustained a serious Iohs this week
by his mnre, Saucy Lass, having a dead foal
Ho paid J7 P"0 for Saucy Lass and J5.000 for

"thero Is small likelihood of pcaco coming

General Kitchener is not going to tnko

Tho work ahead of him in South Africa Is
expected to occupy all his energy for many
months to como. General Sir Arthur
Palmer, tho acting commander-in-chief In
India, will probably shortly ho confirmed to
thnt command, unless Lord Roberts Inter
feres, which Is not likely.
Thcro Is much talk In tho pnpors and

Tho admiralty Is closely following tho

latest Instance is tho purchase, of two

The Increase In tho cost of membershln
of tho Stock exchango from E00 to 000

whether It would not be better to adopt

pointed out that this Insures the mem

vides a satisfactory asset in enso of falluro
Tho lack of the latter commodity caused
serious difficulties to many n old estab

itself to adopt a chango so radical.

Edward Hosewator, editor of Tho Bee, ap-
penred beforo Police Judgo King of South
Omnha at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to
nnBwer to tho charge of unlawfully ex
pending mnnoy ax a candidate, for United
States senator. Threo complaints hnd been
filed and nlgued by Georgo W. .Shield. Tho
first complaint nllcgcd that whllo acting as
nn agent of Mr. Rdsowntcr, C. IS. Llewellyn
had pnld tho sum of ?G to Honry Blsfeldcr.
This transaction was supposed to huvo
takon plnco on November C. Tho other
two complaints bring In Miles Mitchell,
chief of pollco of South Omaha and repub
lican cxocutlvo committeeman. According
to the documonts nlgnd by Shields, Mitchell
paid on October 30 tho sum of 25 to
Charles Wchncr and tho eamo amount to
Paul Barley In the interest of Mr. Ross-
water's candidacy.
Tho court room was , crowded whon Mr.
Hosuwater nppcared with his attorney, John
C. Whartou, and announced that ho was
ready to go ahead.
I. J. Dunn, representing the county at
torney office, appeared for tho state.
Attorney Wharton nnnounced thnt hla
client would wnlvo a preliminary examina
tion. This brought Mr. Dunn to bis feet
and ho objected most emphatically. Ho
insisted that ho hud n right to Insist unon
n preliminary examination in order that
tho prosecution might learn what the de
fendants know nbout tho case If, nfter
tho examination, thero was no ground for
holding tho prlsonor to tho district court
or necessity for tailing the attention of tho
grand Jury to tho matter, tho case might bo
uroppeu. Dunn, continuing, Bald what ho
wanted wnB to ascertain If thcro was BUffl
clont ovldcnce for binding Mr. Rosowntor
over to tho district court. Ho nssortod that
he hud a right to Investigate sueh crbcs
bofore a mugUtrnte. Tho ofllcors of tho
Btate, ho insisted, wcro entitled to know
what ovldenco was to bo brought out by
the defendant should a enso go to a hlcher
court. Therefore, ho insisted unon n. nr...
llmlnary hearing. In conclusion Mr. Dunn
asked the court to insist upon a preliminary
ueui jug,
Court Xnt a Drag Set.
In rcsponso to tho hot nlr talk of ihmn
Attornoy Wharton said that Mr. Dunn had
ngrood with him that tho pollco Judgo had
no charge for tho final determination of tho
case. "Wo offer to walvo," said Mr. Whar
ton, "and enter Into n bond to appear be
foro tho district court. If witnesses aro
called all tho rourt can do Is to detormlno
whether or not thero is sufficient evldcnco
to hold tho defendant to tho district court.
Wo como in nnd say that wo walvo all ad
vantage wo might tako by having u prelim
inary hearing. In my opinion the stato
Bhould know at tho tlmo It flies complaints
whether It has sufficient grounds to con
vict, it is not tho Intent of tho law to al
low mo court to no used as a drug not for
lolltlcal purposes..
Hie attention of tho court wna rnilori in
tho case of Mayor Kelly In tho county
court, whoreln Mr. Kelly, on n char nf
accepting bribed, was permitted to walvo
examination aftor a portion of tho testi
mony had been taken. In conclusion, Mr.
Wharton spoko of tho clique of "craftorH"
who were attempting simply to humiliate
and annoy Mr. Rosowatcr.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Whnrlon'H ro.
marks Mr. Hosewater was permitted to
speak. Ho said ho regarded tho proceed
ing as ono of tho most Infamous ovor per
petrated in Nebrnnka. Jlo asserted that tho
statements of MltchoJl were rank perjury.
Continuing, Mr. Uosownter said that tho
court had no Jurisdiction for tho reason
mat tuo inw under which tho comnlnlnia
were filed does not apply to candidates for
the United StateB senate. Furthor. Mr.
Hosewater contended that if ho had anv
conversation ut all with Mitchell It was In
Omaha and thero wan no excuse for tho
county attornoy dragging him to r. pollco
court in South Omaha.
"I am willing," said Mr. Hosewater. "to
walvo examination and glvo ball nnd havo
the case tried before tho district court In
order to determine the fact as to whether
an offonso has been committed against the
aw or not. This whole thing la a political
farco."
Wnnta to I lud Conajilriiii'.
Concluding, Mr, Rosowntor Bald: "In
rdcr to cut this thing short 1 will walvo
my right, becauso I want to put aa end to
r.
