Transformed in Forty-Eight Hours Into a Grand Re- ception Place. - The great court of the Palace Hotel, | for yeats famed for its spacious drive- way and the ma ificence of its archi- | tecture, has undergone remarkable | transformation. In the brief period of forty-eight hours the large space within the hostelry’s high | walls has been converted from a popular loitering place into a beautiful reception- room second to none in elegance and ar- tistic arrangement in the United States.

Hertzstein she will have to face several charges of forgery. As yet the wolice have no direct knowledge of the extent of the woman's operations. When her arrest becomes known they expect that additional complaints will come from interfor towns and that the amount of her f{llegal gains counted in the thousands. Last August warrants were sworn out | for the arrest of Miss Bernard on charges of misdemeanor embezzlement. Several large dry goods and suit houses in this city were the complainants, but the cases were never prosecuted, as the woman was permitted to settle them be- | fore they came into the courts. Re- cently the woman is said to have floated checks ranging in value from. $15 to $160 in tais €ity and the places above mentioned. They were signed by “S. L. Hertzstein,” made payable to herself and drawn on various banks. She is ac- cused of having exchanged them in pay- after placing her indorsement on back. The police authorities were notifled of many complaints, and Detecuive Gibson took charge of the case. Yesterday evening he arrested the woman on Kearny street and took her to the Cen- | tral police station, where she was locked up. She refused to be interviewed and made no statement that might pos- sibly explain away the charges against her.
