ANARCHISTS THY T0 STARTHIGRT Parade Streets of Paris Declaiming Against the Priests, ) Police and Municipal Guards Prevent Any Serious, Disturbancs. e e PARIS, Aug. 3—The Socialist demon- stration in support of the Government in the schools question, which was held in the Place Mauberr in the Latin quarter to-day, passed without disorder. A procession of 3000 persons formed in front of the Hotel de Ville. A majority of the paraders wore Socialist embiems, a little red flower, in their buttonholes. They marched, singing Socialist songs and shouting, “Down with the priests.” At the Place Maubert red wreaths and a bou- quet of roscs were laid at the foot of the statue of Etienne Dolet. An imposing force of police and municipal guards pre- served order. They split the crowd into small factions and prevented collisions with Clericals, who were aitending a meeting of protest in a hall in the neigh- borhood. Lfforts of one or two anarchists to creete trouble after the demonstration were speedily suppressed. Advices received here from the prov- inces report the occurrence of few note- worthy incidents in connection with the closing of thme unauthorized schools by ccmmissuries of police. There were slight disorders at Bordeaux, where the Cleri- cals came mto conflict with counter dem- onstrations. The police were obliged to disperse the crowd. . The Mayor of a township near Roanne Loire rang the tocsin and incited a crowd armed with pitchforks and cudgels against the police commissary, who was unable to expel the sisters. The Mayor was suspended for this action by the pre- ect.

Wright, who knew the young man's family very well, and who had never heard of ‘any of Watkins' misdeeds. | consented at once. The money was se- | cuned from the San Francisco National | Bank, with which Wright has dealings in his commission business. Watkins bade | him farewell and said that he should im- mediately &in his wife at Santa Cruz, where he left her to come to the city. The check was made out on the Amesbury National Bank. A few days later a telegram came from that intstitution which read as follows: “Watkins' check $400 protested. Never had account.” Wright thought at first that a mistake had been made and immediately telegraphed Watkins at Santa Cruz. The communication was never delivered, and Watkins' relatives in Montclair were no- tified at once. 4 Edwin B, Goodell, Watkins’ uncle, re- must be made. Since then nothing has been heard from the Eastern relatives. POLICE ON THE WATCH. The Chief of Police of Omaha has writ- | | ten to the local agency of the Pinkertons, saying that Watkins is~ wanted there. The police of several cities in the southern part of this State are also watching for the man. He has sometimes represented himself to be the New England agent of the fam- ous Nicholson File Works of Providence, . 1., on a salary of $4000 a year. He is 6 feet 2 inches in height, is smooth shaven, has blonde hair, is very athletic in ap- pearance, is well educated and conducts himself like a gentleman of the thorough- bred type, has always so far as is known gone by his rightful name and is particu- larly distinguished for his expressed dis- regard of the value of money and a ten- dency to_borrow it at every opportunity. | He is said to_be strictly temperate in every way. His whereabouts is at pres- ent shrouded in mystery, and it is sup- posed by the police that his wife is still with him. WAS ENGAGED TO A BELLE OF EASTERN TOWN B OSTON, Mass.,, Aug. 3.—The en- gagement of Philip D. Watkins and Ethel Boardman, a very pretty girl man of Newburyport, was formally an- nounced some time ago. Mr, Boardman conducted a lucrative tow boat business and when he retired he had amassed a considerable fortune. ing brunette and a social favorite. The engagement was broken off some time ago, Miss Boardman having learned that Watkins had not told her the truth. He represented to ber that he was immensely wealthy. The girl learned that this for- tune was imaginative rather than real, and she also caught him in several other falsehoods. Chlef Osgood, of the Ames- bury police force, said to-night that sev- eral checks signed by Watkins and drawn on the Amesbury National Bank had been protested. Watkins has no funds on_ de- posit there. The chief did not know how many ‘checks been protested, but he said that their total amounts were con- siderably in excess of ‘$2000. In Janvary, 1901, Watkins was given a of 21, daughter of Thomas Board- The girl is a strik- | position and his request was granted. He | | was the street boy for the firm for some | months after that. | SUDDENLY QUITS WORK. He remained some months at this place, then suddenly stopped work, saying that he had got some money and was going to be taken into the Amesbury File Works, He used to call at his olfl office | once or twice a week saying how well he | was doing in Amesbury, but came in the first of this year, 1902, declaring that his | partner had syindled him and that he| was ruined. He brought in this story several times. Then on April 17 last, he | went to one of the members of the| Chauncy street firm and borrowed a sum of money, saying that he needed it bad- 1y because he had bhad his pocket picked and was penniless, He was given a check for money and went from the office. Since that day there is no record, even after many in- | quiries, that any one has seen him. The gentleman who loaned the money, puz- zled at the young man’'s sudden disap- pearance, instituted a search for him. From the man who cashed the check he learned that Watkins said he lived at 39 Falmouthwstreet, but at that place he has | not been seen for months. | It was found that Watkins tried to bor- | row money in a number of places from numerous friends just about the time he | ‘“‘touched” his former employer, and it is surmised he got sufficient capital together to take a Western trip. A dispatch from Amesbury, a suburb of Newburyport, says Watkins was for | four months a resident of Amesbury, | during which time he acted as manager of the Amesbury File Works, but was never a member of the firm. ENGAGES IN BUSINESS. Early in May, 1901, he called on Clifford ! A. Moore of Lowell, the owner of the works, and said he was a graduate of Yale College and wished to engage in | business, as he was to receive a large amount of money in a few weeks and | would put it into the business. | _Mr. Moore sent him to Amesbury, giving | him full charge of the business. His ad- | vent in Amesbury caused quite a stir | in society circles, and he seemed more | devoted to the young ladies than to the | business. He boarded at the American ‘House until he became enamored of a young lady in Newburyport, when he went | to_that city, boarding at Wolfe Tavern, | Soon after he took charge of the busi- : ness, it is said, the help began to com- lain of not receiving their mnney,u:nd in ] | | October, 1801, Mr. Moore visi e of- fice, and it {s said, found that Watkins had been collecting the money due and using it for his own wants and was then kins, since which time nothing has been heard from him. While here Watkins was visited by his father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. G. C, E. Watkins, of Montclair, N. | J., who thought their son was a mem- er of the firm. He was the original hirt Waist Man"” here, and was con- sidered quite a sport, being prominent in golf and football. While appearing very free with his money he was always hard {Jressed and owed maay bills when he e CLEVERNESS OR HYPNOTISM WINS HIM WIFE MAHA, Neb., Aug. 3.—Henry Shon- O feld, who stands at the head of one of Omaha’s best faniilies, says plainly that he would not feel re- sponsible for his actions should he meet Philip D. Watkins, who is considered by Shonfeld as the worst type of an adven- turer. He succeeded in inducing Shon- feld’s daughter Maud to marry him after a few hours’ acquaintance on board a western-bound train. About a week ago Maud Shonfeld left Omaha to visit her sister, Mrs. A. L. Bell of Ogden, Utah. She never reached her sister’s home and she has never returned, nor, with two ex- ceptions, has she written her parents. On the train she met Watkins. Either this man was exceedingly clever in his pleading or else he was a hypnotist, for it is known that Miss Shonfeld and Watkins alighted and were married at Ogden and then took a train going west before Miss Shonfeld’s sister knew what was brewing. SISTER RECEIVES LETTER. A few days later Mrs. Bell received a letter from the girl glving an account of her escapade and stating they were on their way to San Francisco, where they were to live. The letter also said that Wat- kins was receiving $250 a month salary, was dealing in fruit for exportation and was exceedingly wealthy. When the girl's father learned of the affair he consulted with the Chief of Police here and was told that a man answering Watkins' de- scription and name was wanted in San Diego for a @00 swindle, in Boston for a forgery and at other points for similar crimes. The family were prostrated by the news. Immediately efforts were made to reach the pair by telegraph and letter without avail. At last a letter came to the father here which said: S LS y letters? I you.” Th_e next day another letter came which end me $200. You are lucky to get off so easily.” THEIR LETTERS HELD UP. The parents of the girl reason that their letters have been held up by Watkins and also the letters his wife had written home. The last letter from her has the appearance of being dictated by him. All ;. fig&u since then to reach the girl have Mr. Shonfeld received a letter last week from a prominent Boston banker which has added to his misery. It reads: “For God's sake and as you love her, recover\your daughter from that man, Philip D. Watkins. I know something of his record and you cannot act too soon.” ‘With this letter was inclosed a clipping from a Boston paper which announced | the marriage. Miss Maud Shonfeld has | been prominent in Omaha society for a number of years. She was not the char- acter of girl of which such an escapade | would be expected. She was modest and well bred and extremely od looking. Mr. Shonfeld admitted to-day that his daughter had had a number of offers of marriage from prominent young men of Omahe. He said she had told him of these herself, and had said that she considered herself too young to be married, and that she had not found the man she loved. LOS ANGELES POLICE LOOK | FOR WATKINS OS ANGELES, Aug. 3.—The Los Angeles police would like to find Philip D. Watkins for the purpose of serving on him a war- rant for having passed a worthless check on a business man whose' name the offi- cers refuse to divulge for the present. Watkins has disappeared and the police say they have information that he is also wanted in Oakland and other places for similar transactions. - Watkins appeared at Santa Monica June 22 with his bride. He became quite popular among society people at otel Arcadia, was a leader in golf, tennis and ping-pong and won the confidence of sev- eral gentlemen, among them Henry Laub of San Francisco. To the last named he applied for $400 on a check, but for some reason Laub did not cash the check. Later Laub introduced Watking to a Los Angeles man, who, a few days after the introduction, cashed Watkins’ check. | the last attack I could not be induced to | | JAS. BGYES& CD .

George Tauscher, stationary engineer, 1§ Jackson street, says: ‘From childhood, I might say, I have had more or less kid- | ney complaint, but for the last fifteen years it was more pronounced. My back ached more painfully, and when I caught cold the aching was greatly aggravated. As might be expected when the kidneys were not performing their functions prop- erly, extra work was placed on other or- gans of the body and my stomach gave trouble.
