Lucas, a private detective, was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by Miss Lizzie Clarkson, who charges | him with impersonating an officer of the |law. The arrest of Lucas has been the means of exposing a full-fledged family skeleton that ought to be securely locked away in a closet of Rev. J. F. Clarkson’s | | home in Topeka, Kan. | Miss Clarkson claims that Lucas came | to the home of Mrs. ‘Warner, with whom | she is stopping at 2020 Folsom street, and | | explaining that he had far more author- | | 1ty than an officer in regulation uniform, | | | demanded that she come to his office at 906 Market street. Obeying Lucas’ com- mands, Miss Clarkson said she went to | the detective's office, where he put to her | many insulting questions. | Lucas denies the charges lodged against | him, and says that he never represented to Miss Clarkson that he was an officer of the law. | I was employed,” he said, “by Miss | | Clarkson's family, who wish her to re- | turn to her home in Topeka. Her two sisters, Mrs. Mabel Ackerman and Miss Lilllan Clarkson, are at present in this | city, the object of their visit being to try and see if tney could not get their sister to return to her family, | The family claims that the Warners | | exercise an undue influence over her and | have induced her to follow them frof Topeka to Ottawa, from there to Denver | ! |ana from Denver to this city. A man | hamed Perry Flattery, who is a member of the Warner household, figures in the *bjections entered by the girl’'s relatives. | | i the charges made by the family of | | Lizzie Clarkson there is mention of hyp- notism, charms and an evil talisman. Mrs. Warner, who has been the girl's con- stant companion for the past five years, they claim, exercises an_hypnotic influ- | ence over her and is holding her against her will, Miss Clarkson scarcely looks like a| woman whom any one might detain | against her will. She is very positive in ail the statements she makes, and fore- most among these statements is the one that she will not return to her people. 'hey never treated me kindly,” she sald, “especially my mother. She always mistreated me and always singled me out to vent her displeasure upon. She ac- cused me of all sorts of terrible things and acted in such an unnatural way that 1 decided to leave my home forever.

NTI-TRUST LAW FOUND FAULTY Judges Tuley, Dunne and Waterman Render a | Decision. | CHICAGO, Dec. 12—By a decislon of Judges Tuley, Dunne and Waterman of the Circuit Court, to-day, section 1 of the anti-trust law of Illinols, which defines what constitutes a trust or combination in restraint of trade, is declared unconsti- tutional. Other sections of the law, and especially those which compel corporations to file affidavits annually with the Secretary of | State that they are in no way connected on the corner and telephoned for the po- lice. In a few minutes three policemen rived, and they searched the house thoroughly but found no trace of the bur- glar. It was at first thought by Mrs. Donau and Mrs. Steinman that the man had been surprised by the child before he could lay 1 nds on anything of value, but soon Steinman ‘missed several of her which she had placed in a little box that was kept in a jewel casket. casket was on her bureau and was solitaire, a turquoise set with diamonds, | the Clarkson family have treated her. a diamond marquise, an emerald and di “The idea that I have hypnotized Lizzie | mond and a ruby and diamond, all valua. | IS preposterous,” she said last night. “I ble rings, besides a small ring of coral and | Was sorry for her and I tried to do all | a small diamond ring belonging to Adele, | I could for her.
