AS anything found this year at the country clubs? If Interested,
ask clerks and hear their side of the question. Indeed, every
thing has been found.
Can you Imagine a man. going to the club and returning
home without his hat? And, still more shocking, his own very good
oxfordsT Jost the same, these hare been found at the Country clubs
But "they were called for. There might hare been a kn understand
ing between the finder and the loser, for the topic Is a thing of the past
One would hardly believe the society would miss such a Tain little
piece of humanity until the countless vanity cases numbered among the
"found" articles this season at the club were brought to notice. The
finders of the little gold and silver affairs are now wondering if every rosy'
cheeked matron or maid Is a gay deceive!- but never mind, there are lots
of vanity cases which have never been claimed. Perchance their owner
would rather sacrifice her lost article rather than to let out the secret t

SWANSOH MYSTERY
IS HOT YET SOLYED
Captain Sempsey Not Able to De
termine Whether Patient at St
Louis Hospital it Wanted.
CLEWS ARE NOT CONCLUSIVE
8T. LOUIS, Mo., Sept 10. Cap
tain Dempsey of the Omaha, Neb.,
police force, who came here to aee
the city hospital patient who, it was
reported to the police, had confessed
that he murdered Ada 8 wan son in
Omaha last May, was unable today
to determine whether the patient was
the man he wanted.
The man who was registered In the
city hospital under the name of Wil
liam Herrmann was arrested last
night at the request of the Omaha
authorities. It has not been decided
whether he will be taken back to
Omaha.
Ilerrmaa Denies Char.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept . (Spe
cial Telegram.) William Herrmann,
28 years of age, a giant In stature, a
mental and physical wreck, following
several attempts to end bis Ufa re
cently, Is held In the observation
ward of the city hospital for the
police of Omaha, who wish to Inter
rogate him In connection with the
murder of Ada Swanson at Omaha,
May 21
Hermann, who Is also known as
George Williams,' Is' said to have
confessed to O. B. Stewart, a fellow
workman here, that ha killed the
Swanson glrL Police Captain Demp
sey of Omaha Is now on his way to
St. Louis.
"I never heard of Stewart," de
clared Herrmann at the hospital to
night. "I, was never In Omaha. I
know nothing of the affair there."
Two weeks sgo, Stewart, who Is from
Knoxvllle, Tenn., told the looal polios
that Herrmann, with whom he was work
ing on a Missouri Paclflo Railway com
pany construction gang, twelve miles
from here, , confessed the Swansan mur
der to him.
Tried to Kill Himself.
The day Stewart gave this Information
to the police Herrmann tried to kill him
self by slashing his wrlirts with a raaor.
; He was taken to the Missouri Paclflo
1 hoopltal, and then transferred to the
city hospital observation ward.
Hermann is a preaafeeder by trade and,
according to his step-mother, Mrs.
fjharles .Herrmann, he left here last De
cember and did : not return until last
April. ' She declares he has been here
since, 'but has appeared mentally unbal
anced. She said as soon as he reached
his home, after his four, months' absence,
he insisted that the doors 'and windows
be kept closed all the time..
' ' Victim la Labor Wr. .
"They're after me," -he would exclaim.
She said, he told her he had been In
Chicago, at' Work' for, a nonunion plant
and that the union men 'had been after
him. She said he made, several attempts
to hang himself and that' she kept a
Close watch on him. For the last few
months he haa been, working ' with the
construction gang,, and at home, would
remark frequently that "They" were
after him. and that he was afraid of
Them."
Ifow Mala!' Sllenee.
Since his arrest, local detectives hare
tried to talk to Williams about the Omaha
affair, but he either maintains a stubborn
silence or declares he waa . never In
Omaha, that he never heard of the Swan
son murder and that he never . knew
Stewart.
Another effort will be made to get him
to talk tomorrow, when Police Captain
Dempsey Is expected here. .
Dempaey to Iaveatlarate.
New Interest in the Ada Swanson
hatchet murder mystery is aroused by
the srrest In Ft Louis of William Here,
mann, who Is said to have confessed the
crime to snolher man.
Chief of Police Dunn obtained sufficient
Information from the ft. Ixiuts police last
night to warrant sending Captain M. F.
Dempsey to Bi. Ixnils to Investigate.
Dempsey will arrive there st 10 o'clock
this morning.
Mra. Byhes' Tlew.
T don't take much stock In the con
fession." said Mrs. Joseph Sjkes last
night when newspaper men asked her
whether she hed ever heard of Ads Swan
son being acquainted with a man named
Herrmann. "Ada had only a few male
friends, and those she did go about with
had names that were obviously Swedish.
I sincerely hope, however, that I am
wrong and thst the St Louis police have
captured the fiend that killed our poor
little Ada."
thst from the speakers' platform the
signal would be given by busier fifteen
minutes before the close of each meet
ing. With this Information the road mas
ter would call the several bams and
have plenty of cars on hand to take the
crowds away as soon as they came out of
the tabernacle.
The road master Is on hand esch night,
say the street rsllwsy officials, but he
doe not get the buizer signal, hence the
lack of cars.
