Bryson, she says, placed her in a boarding house where she remained practically a pris- onerl for five months, her relatives be- lieving that she -was visiting in Nash- | ville. Soon after the child’s birth, she de- | clares, Bryson and one Dr. Willford took |it from the house late one night and | drove away with it in the direction of a cemetery. She consulted a lawyer and | to him Bryson stated that the child, had [ been sent to Indianapolis and later said it was in Little Rock. He agreed to go to Little Rock with her, but instead he left Memphis for St. Louis. She engaged detectives and for four years the search for the man has been in progress. He went to San Francisco, where he was in business under the name of Lotraine and had an office in the Mills building. Her detectives finally found him in Oxnard and she came to California to see him. She did not want him, but came only to learn the fate of her child. They met here in a lawyer's office and Bryson agreed to go back with her, a de- tective to accompany them. Five minutes before the train pulled out turned to her and declared that he had decided to fight the case and would | not go back to Memphis. The detective who was with them later took from her a revolver, which she was carrying, she said, to compel him to tell her where her child was.' To-day she secured a warrant for his arrest and he was taken into custody, being later released on $2500 | bond, which was furnished by ¥. O. Engstrom, a contractor. The case will be heard next Monday. Bryson refused to make a detailed state- ment, but said he was not the father of the child. He claims to nave given Her | $400 and declares that it is but an at- | tempt to blackmail him. He is afraid that she will kill him and to-day summoned a policeman to his office to prevent her from there. She made no attempt .to nter. She says she has almost unlimited funds behind her and that she wili see him properly punished unless he gives her back her child. The following telegram from Memphis arrived to-night: STORY IN MEMPHIS. “MEMPHIS, Nov. 20.—Like an avenging Nemesis Miss Howell has camped on the trail of Hugh W. Bryson for four years. A dashing young man of aristocratic fam- ily, he casily won the heart of this girl while she was visiting here in 15%. She said she was deluded undet the promise of marriage. When a child was born it was placed in the Leath Orphan Asylum, whence it mysteriously disappeared. ““A ‘baby boy in the possession of Mrs. Olivia Colton of this city was alleged by Miss Howell's attorney, Senator W. V. Sullivan of Mississippi, to be fhe child. The defense alieged that the real child had died and the one which Miss Howell was attGopting to regain through the ghe clung to her original intention of ap- for help. The proprietor of the house and several other persons entered the room and found Miss Gore lying on the bed, while the revolver was on the rug at the bedside. De Rydzenski's version of the affair is that while he was conversing with his visitor he had occasion to pick up an article from the table and he knocked off the revolver, the fall of which to the floor caused it to discharge. The bullet struck Miss Gore and she fell backward | on the bed in an unconscious conditfon. | The commissary of police, who has charge of the case, says the story seems improb- able, but it is impossible as yet to say whether the case is one of murder or ac- cident. Nothing has vet been discovered to help in clearing up the mystery sur- rounding the affair. According to a servant in De Rydzen- ski’s house Miss Gore paid frequent visits to the Russian, who, it is now reported first said that she had committed suicide, but afterward told the police that while holding the revolver in his hand it slipped from his grasp and went off as it fell, —— INDIANS MAY MAKE WARFARE ON SETTLERS Suspicion That Member of Tribe Was Murdered Arouses Big Bend Redskins REDDING, Nov. 20.—One day last week the body of an Indian known as “Whisky Mike” was found in the’ Pitt River, near Copper City. It was supposed he had been murdered and thrown into the river. He belonged to the Big Bend. tribe of In- dians. The Coroner went to the scen held an inquest, found death was acel- cental and had the body buried. The Big Bend Indians were not satis- fied. They came to Redding in a crowd to-day demanded permission to disinter the body and got the permit. They will now conduct an examination and if they come to the conclusion that. Mike was murdered- they threaten to' make trouble in the neighborhood and it is feared they will carry out their threats, @ il @ courts could not be involved. The boy held by Mrs. Colton has been brought into litigation several times, but Miss Howell has lost her case repeatedly. * “The courts of Arkansas, Missourl ~«d Tennessee have. been resorted to by the woman. She has persistently endeavored to catch Bryson. Detectives have located him, but never succeeded in making an arrest. He has Dbeen trailed through Texas and othet States. Despite her fafl- ure to obtain the child by legal authority prehending him, and she hopes to prove her claims and make him suffer. She is spending her life in the . search, and friends and relatives have no influence sufficient to deter her.”” i UNITED STATES A WORLD POWER New French Embassador Talks on America’s Progress. Pays High Compliment to Our People and Educa- tional [nstitutions, PARIS, Nov. 20.—Embassador Jusser- and arrived here yesterday evening from Copenhagen on his first visit to Paris since his appointment to the Washingion post. He comes now to confer with For- eign Minister Delcasse in order to re- celve instructions and to arrange for the departure of himself and family for ‘Washington, where he expects to arrive early in the new year. At his apartments in the Avenue Marceau he talked inter- estingly on American men and American affairs, *Although I have never lived in the United States,” said the Embassador, “I feel fairly well acquainted with that country, as my diplon:atic life has brought me into contact with many Americans and I have formed many last- ing American friendships.” He recalled that while secretary to the French Embassy in London he formed the acquaintance of the former American Ministers to London, Lowell, Phelps and Robert . Lincoln. He shares the ad- miration for Lowell's literary genius, and related an incident showing Lowell's hold on foreign affection. When word was received 1n London, he said, that Lowell was dying, Sir Leslie Stephen, the cele- brated author, who was himself in feeble condition, immediately sailed for America to see his former friend for the last time and the same sentiment prevailed throughout the literary world. M. Jus- serand also spoke of the brilliant oratory of Phelps and says that he had Kept up his interest in American affairs more re- cently by reading American books, study- ing the American system and by a con- stant correspondence with a number of well-known Americans, two of whom be- long to the faculty of Columbia Univer- sity. OUR GROWING IMPORTANCE. The Embassador referred to the grow- ing importance of America in the world's aftairs and said it was noticeable that throughout lurope the position of the United States as a world power was everywhere recognized. He thought that this imposed serious trials and responsi- bilities on the country, and pointed out that, while the commercial development of the United States was marvelous, yet its intellectual progress was Keeping pace with its material adyance. In this connection the Embassador cited the growth of American universities and re- lated a personal incident. He had re- cently received, he said, from a compar- | atively obscure college in the interior of the United States a most scholarly eriti- cism on his theory regarding the origin of the manuscripts of “The Vision of Piers Plowman.” The correspondent asked M. Jusserand, who was at Copenhagen during the dis- cussion of the proposed sale of the Dan- ish West Indies to the United States, the cause of the failure to effect the sale. He said that the sentiment against any further reduction of the Danish domin- jon operated strongly against' the proj- ect, although it was at first supposed that a universal desire for the sale existed. The failure brought its compensations, as the discussion disclosed clearly that the Danish West Indies would not go to any other power than the United States, which, with the island of Porte Rico, now possessed harbors superior to those in the British island of St. Vincent and in the islands of the Danish West In- dies. The failure was also to some ex- tent an evidence of personal devotion to the King, who shared in the sentiment against parting with the country’'s an- cient possessions. The Embassador paid a high tribute to the noble qualities of the King, and said that although he was an old man he rode on horseback daily unattended and could leap hurdles with President Roosevelt. Questioned regarding the pending Franco-American questions M. Jusserand said there were happily no serious issues | between the two countries at the present time owing to the cordiality between them. He intended to devote his casual attention to the reciprocity treaty which was still pending and said he saw no reason why the two countries should not develop their mutual trade by a more liberal exchange of the products which each produced exclusiveiy. He cited American machinery, raw cotton and pe- troleum as articles having no French com- petition, which could form a basis of ex- change against those French articles which had no competition in the United States. FAVORS PANAMA ROUTE. Concerning the Panama canal the Em- bassador sald the question had no official status, but that he would continue the friendly efforts of M. Cambon on behalf of the company. He added that the most powerful advocate for the Panama route was the volcanos of Guatemala and Niec- aragua, which Kkept speaking in tones of thunder in favor of Panama. As M. Jus- serand has written several books in Eng- lish he was asked his opinion of American literature. He said he had been brought up with American authors, as his father's library contained the works of Cooper and Hawthorne along with the French classics, and his later meeting with Amer- icaa authors gave him a personal interest in the subject. He related ‘that on one occasion, when dining witih Bret Harte at the Rabelals Club in London, the Amer- ican author expressed regret that he was unrecognized in France. M. Jusserand assured him that Frenchmen were famil- jar with the peculiar cadence of Western stories and proved by reciting the closing lines of “The Luck of Roaring Cainp” his personal acquaintance with Bret Harte’s work. Bret Harte repaid the compliment by saying that when he was a struggling clerk in California he was impressed by the dramatic descriptive power of the elder Dumas and thereafter molded his style after that of the great French author. The Embassador spoke of the pleasure with which he had read President Roose- velt's strenuous philosophy and his rancn tales. These works were brought to his attention during a sojourn at the Royal Palace, near Copenhagen, where Princess Marie was found perusing the Roosevelt books and declared them' to be most de- lightful. M. Jusserand desires to see the new French embassy erected in Washington by the time of the St. Louis Exposition and he has already conferred with the officials in charge of the construction of the build- ings. It was at first believed that no ap- propriation would be made owing to the complications regarding the new French embassy in Vienna, but the chamber- is now so cordial in its feelings toward America that there is little doubt that the appropriation will be granted. It is expected that the sum to be appropriated will be $600,000, which the Embassador considers will be sufficlént to erect a magnificent structure typical of French art and taste.
