SEITES TRUNKS * OF YOUN DUKE Deputy Sheriff Acts on Attachment Pro- ceedings. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—~With an attach- ment for $700 for the price of some mock pearls sold to the Duke of Manchester two years ago, Lawyer Henry Brill and Deputy Sheriff Altman went to the Hol- iand House this afternoon. Altman glanced at his papers, and, seeing the name “George Brown” on them, asked if George Brown was in. “Don’t know him,” said the clerk. “Well, some folks call him the Duke of Manchester,” said Altman. The clerk admitted Fnowing the Duke of Manchester, but said he was not in. Altman then served notice on Manager Sommers that he had come to attach the Duke's baggage. An attache of the hotel sald that the Duke was around in Madi- fon avenue superintending some repairs to a house he is to lease, so the deputy went around, but did not find him. When the deputy got back to the hotel the Duke was t0o busy to see him, so Altman sat until almost 5 o'clock waiting. Then he declared he would go to the Duke’s apartments and break in if nec- p Manager Sommers escorted him to the apartments. The Duke, the Duch- esss and Papa Zimmerman were all there, Altman collected enough trunks, bags and other property to represent, in hig ylew, $i00, and then declared them at. tached. The complaint in the case was made by the Frederick Jewelry Comfi:y of 905 Broadway, which alleges that the Duke boyght a string or two of fish-glue pearls for the Duchess a little over two Years ago and then carelessly sailed for R, without paying for the: -, e OF MANGHESTER FAIR GES MD FUS IRE STOLEN ‘'Thieves Get Sable i Coat Valued at Thousands. ‘Robbers Substitute Cheap Imitations || for Pearls. i SEoe o American Consul Is Asked to Make a Searching Investigation.

Numbers of articles of jewelry | which the Fairs were knewn to have taken to Europe were missing, and their | only effects which were returned through the Amerfcan consulate in Paris intact were . Fair's chinchilla and - mink | crats and Charley Fair's scarfpins.

A few days ago, when the Fairs’ ef- fects arrived from Paris, the seals that bore the insignia of the American Con- sulate were broken by Assistant United States Appraiser Jacob Shaen in presence of Joseph Harvey S. Neal, administrators of the estates of the deceased, at the Federal building. One of the first articles ‘aken out of a trunk. was the famous sable egat. Mr. Harvey looked at the garment and im- that the coat looked much longer. CHEAP IMITATION. A message was sent to Mrs. Sidney Melbourne. who was Mrs. F: s maid at the time of the couple's tragic death in France. Mrs. Melbourne, upon examin- ing the coat, stated positively that Mrs. a air never wore such a coat and Mr. ment by stating that in the original coat | Liebes, who sold the coat to Mrs. Fair, | after a moment’s inspection, said that it | was a cheap imitation not worth the ex- | press rges. He wound up his argu { | handsome lace was used four inches | from the bottom on the inside lining, | while in the substitute cheap window ‘_Inrn had been sewn to give the garment the"same effect. The inventory that accompanied the effects wag then consulted, and, to the surprise of every one, Mrs. Fair's famous as imitation jewelry. Why, Charlie Fair never bought any imitation jewelry in his life,” said Mr. Harvey when he saw the inventory. know that he paid $15,000 for the pearl necklace.” Harvey then said that he had recently. paid a visit to Hammersmith & Field's jewelry store and that he had been shown imitation pearis and was explained that imitation pearls couid be detected easily, as they crushed like an egg when a slight pressure was/ exerted on them. IMITATION GEMS. After a little argument Mr/ Nea) con- sented to select one pearl from the neck- lace and determine its genuineness. The moment that his fingers pressed it, it crushed into powder. Mrs. Fair's hand- some pearl earrings were also discovered to have been tampered Wwith and were also filled up with imitation stones., Mr. Harvey at once sent a dispatch to the American Consul at Paris announcing that Mrs. Fair's sable coat had been taken and a cheap one sent in its place, ana that the gems had been substituted. The officials at the consulate at once sent back word that if Harvey was absolutely posi- tive in his charges, they wished him to forward afidavits to that effect and the-coat and imitation gems at once. Af- fidavits of the salesman who MJd the original coat and of Mrs. Melbourne and many others are already on their way to Paris, as are the coat and gems. Mrs. Melbourne says that when Mr. and Mrs. Fair were killed in France she was ordered by the attaches of the American consulate to turn ovemeverything belong- ing to the decedents to them. She hand- ed them the keys to the trunks and jewel- boxes, and a receipt for the famous sable coat, which was at that time in the.cus tody of the firm of Gruenbergs, furrfers, of Paris. SECOND OUTRAGE. Shortly after Mrs. Fair's arrival in Paris she told her maid that as the coat was valuable and that as she and her, hus- pand were traveling she did not wish to take care of it. They took the coat to Gruenburg's and a receipt was given them for it. The changes were made, it is believed, before the valuables were turned over to the American consulate. Great Indigna- tion was expressed When the bodies of the Fairsearrived here, owing to the care. less way in which their remains had been prepared for shipment in Paris, and now this outrage has been added.

N COLUMBIA, S. C.. Jan. 10.—After four | days of suffering death came shortly aft- | er noon to-day to Narciso Gener Gonzales, | editor of the Columbia State, who was shot last Thursday by Lieutenant Gover- nor James H. Tillman. Gonzales was un- conscious when the end came. His wife, his three brothers, his sisters, members of the editorial staft of the State and the surgeons were present. A few moments after death came it was all over Columbia. There is no play of excitement, is noticeable known apparent anger, no dis; but an unnatural quiet throughout the city. This morning Dr. W. Gill Wylle, after consulting with Drs. Guerry and Barren and members of the family, decided to try tion of formaldehyde. At 9 o'clock the injection was made in the arm. It was known that favorable results in the ar- rest of peritonitis, if they followed at all, would be at once manifest. But there was no improvement. As time passed the patient’s respiration grew weaker and the evidence of approaching death became plainer. Just before the end the surgeons, by request, resorted to a second injec- tion. There was a momentary strength- ening of the pulse, but almost before the injection had been completed Gonzales was dead. An autopsy was held by Dr. A, B. Knowlton, county physician, this evening.

The Panther was repulsed and sent limping away, which is a source of sat- isfaction. Germany is receiving little sympathy for her defeat in this appar- ently unwarranted aggression. Secretary Hay early this morning went to the White House, where he informed the President of the advices bearing on the bombardment of the fort at Mara- caibo, which had been received at the State Department.These have not been made public. They discussed this latest and startling development of the Venezu- elan situation. Hay also conferred with Secretary Moody at the Navy Depart- ment. While it Is said the Venezuelan question was not responsible for the con- ference, the situation was discussed. DEWEY MAY BE NEEDED. The Venezuelan question Iy subject of most serious consideration by officials of the Navy Department, where it has realized that Germany wa¥ country from which the 'United States has most to fear. Since the ma- neuvers closed it has been learned that the situation just before the imstitution of the bid#kade was so serious that Ad- miral Dewey was advised of the crisls that he might be in readiness for any- thing. No orders to warships have been issued as a result of this last phase of the Venezuelan situation, but the United States naval force in Porto Rican wat- ers is close enough for any emergency. The incident is regarded as strong evi- dence that Germany preferred a com- plication and that she timed the bom- bardment to have the most detrjmental effect on the success of the cofference which Minister Bowen, on behalf of is coming to Washington to arrange with representatives of the pow- ers. Simultaneously it is announced from Berlin, whence orders for the bom- bardment came, that Baron Speck van Sternbers had postponed his sailing, which, was set for January 2.
