After remalning at the Califorfla Hotel for two weeks Crowther took up his resi- dence at the Knickerboeker Hotel on Van Ness avenue and proceeded to live at u rapid gall. He patronized livery stubles in the vieinity and not a day passed with out a number of young soclety girls be- ing his guests for a drive, Ordered Wine at Dinner. Crowther always ordered wine at din- ner, and one evening he gave a dinner to a dozen’ of the younger society set, th scene of the festivity being the private dining-room of the Knickerbocker Hotel. Rumor hath it that wine flowed freely, |, but “‘expense” was nothing to the young man from Japan. After staying at the Knickerbocker Ho- tel for one month Crowther was pre- sented with a bill for the balance owed by him, and Landlord J. A. Robinson had considerable difficulty in securing its liquidation. The account was for $110 and Crowther managed to pay $100, leaving $10 due at that time. The suspicions of Landlord Robinson and his wife .that Crowther was not all that he represented himself to be were aroused. They thought it strange that a “rich tea planter and banker,’ as Crow- ther claimed to be, should have troubie with his laundry over a single dress shirt. Mrs. Robinson on many occasions heard Crowther telephoning to a laundry, de- manding that his “dress shirt be sent home at once,” and she wondered why the guest of the hotel could not afford to have sufficlent apparel without having’ to, send a solitary shirt to be washed every ay. Landlord Robinsdn and his wife learned a few days ‘ago that Crowther was in debt to livery stable keepers and deter- mined to coliect their bill for board and room. Crowther Asked to Settle. When Crowther was presented with his account on Tuesday evening he was very indignant and haughty. He was given until 2 p. m. on Wednesday t ttle;, and | » SRARY L0 N8 od | Posite dircction to the boy was o buggy told that his room door would be locked against him if he did not, On Wednesday night Crowther re- turned to the hotel and found his room had Leen rented, He stormed around an declared that he had been insulted and would move away, Landlord Robinson re- quested that his account be mettled eore ;l‘n{|belunllnll were removed from the otel, With a flourish Crowther produced a check on Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Bank for FOUND NCIBCO TOO EXPENBIVE VORI HIE MEANE, AUT COULD NOT ROCIETY LIFE IN SAN ) Ay [t $00 and tendered it tg Hobigson in ment of his account of 60, He nnh‘mlj the balance in cash, bitt Robinson gave Crowiher his check for the amount, 1 hon to the raln Crowther went, and that Wils the lugt seen of him Parly yesterdiy morning Landlord Roblnson went -t Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Bank i presented (he check he hid feceved fram Crowther, .

Employers Say There Is No Question That Requires Arbitration, —— Tt was a day of jubllation among the striking machinists yesterday, After a period of idleness of nearly ten months their strike had been declared off and every man was freo to secure employment if he eould, Unfortunately the applicants were many, but the places to be filled wero few, Nearly 1000 men sought em= ployment with thelr old firms during the day, but of that number less than 100 wore glven the poditions they vacated on May 20, 1001, Fully soven hundred men applied at the Unlon Iron Works yesterday for work, but only fifty-throe were accepted, The others were glven to understand that they might apply from day to day and that they would be glven employment as cirs cumstances might require. It s belleved that several weeks will elapse before the Works' working force will be restored to thelr old places in the shop. At the Risdon Iron Works several hune dred applications for reinstatement were filed. During the morning a bare half dozen were put to work, and in the after- noon some twenty were told to show up this morning. At the other shops which are identified with the Metal Trades Au- soctation the striking machinists were cordially recetived, A conservative estl- mate of those wh it back fixes the figure at less than 100, Nothing to Arbitrate. It 18 contended by the members of Iron Trades Council that the strike was | declared off pending an adjustment of tho | trouble by the arbitration committee of the | Nutlonal Clvie ‘Federation, This is hatically denfed by the members of | Metal Trades Association, who de- are that there 1a nothing to arbitrate and that the strikers will resume opern- tlons under the schedule as to hours and | wages In force prior to the Inauguration | of the strilce, Henry T. Seott, president«of the Unlon Iron Works, said yesterday that he had nothing to arbitrate with the strikors, Al machinists and others accepting employ- | ment at the works must do so with the | distinet understanding that the rules now in force will govern all men employed | Resuming, he sald: There is absolutely no prejudice fn our minds agninst the strikers.

Sceretary White of the Soclety for the | Prevention of Cruelty to Children has | commenced a search for the 2 months old child of Mrs. Dunn of Oakland, | who claims that the little one Is wrong- fully kept away from her. It is stated by the mother that Mrs. Emily Funke, who | keeps a lying-in hospital at 1416 Eighth street, Alameda, 18 responsible for the dif- ficulty. It is said that prominent people | of Oakland have become interested in the | matter and that Attorney Bernard P. Mil- ler of that city has been emvloyed by | them to see that the difficulty 4s adjusted | in_a satisfactory manner. 1 Mrs. Dunn is said to be a woman of | slender means. Her husband died about five months ago. Her child was born at | Mrs. Funke's Hospital three months later, She states that while there Mrs, Funke induced her to surrender the child on the | premise that it would be well taken care of by some people who wished to adopt it When Mrs. Dunn had recovered and had earied some money she wanted_the | ckild returned to her and sought out Mrs. Furke for that purpose. The latter, it is alleged, refused to furnish any informa- tion: as to the baby's whereabouts and so tre investigation was instituted.

Wednesday night some 150 enthusiasts from the Latin quarter, most of thém ‘“‘dead heads,”” appeared at the hall. Del Carlo failed to put in an appearance, so the musicians struck, and the manager | of the hall refused to let the curtain nse, as no one had been paid from the star | down to the supers, the only payment made by the would-be singer being for the hall on Sunday night. The lights went out and so did the audience. The janitor locked the house up, swearing never again to open it for stage aspirants until he had received the usual compen- sation. When seen last night he said: ‘‘Del Carlo had as good a show as one | would care to see, but the only trouble | was that the ghost wouldn't walk.” Numerous calls at the home of Del | Carlo, 734 Broadway, elicited from (he landlady that he left there about 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, leaving no word as to where he was going, and has not been seen since.
