Allen, business manager of the local branch of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Sheet Metal Workers of Amer- ica, swore out a warrant in Police Judge Fritz's court yesterday afternoon for the arrest of H. M. Saunders, business man- ager of the Bullding Trades Council. Allen alleges that he gave $2% to Saun- ders for the benefit of the striking coal miners of Pennsylvania and that the lat- ter. never forwarded the money. Saunders was arrested soon after the warrant was sworn ‘out, but was released on bail. According -to Allen’s story, he .was ap- pointed a committee of one to present 325 to the secretary of the Building Trades Council in behalf of the Cornice Makers" Unilon for the benefit of the striking coal miners of ‘Pennsylvania. - Allen alleges that he went to the Bullding Trades Couneil, but the secretary was not in, 80 he turned the money over to Saun- ders, the business manager, and got a receipt for it. This happened last August, says ‘Allen, and nothing more was thought of the matter till a short time ago, when Allen recelved information to the effect that the of | smirch, pregnant’ with pleasant | | the | present more serious tasks.

Charming indeed 1s he as a lover, and as the poet most ably convincifg. Altogether he pre- sents one of the.most attraciive figures ever seen locally, and that it is mnot wholly great s not the fault of this eml- nent and charming artist: Miss Cecilla Loftus, rescued _recently from the wilds of vaudéville, is chief in support, and an arch and sprightly figure #s Katherine de Vaucelles. Singu- larly apt and charming is.

Allen engaged Julius Kahn to fight the case and Mr. Kahn states that the mat-$ ter will' be -thoroughly -investigated and that Saunders will be forced to show. what he'did with -the money. Mr. .Kahn says that he has evidence in his possession to show ‘that this is not the first' time that Saunders has been mixed up in similar transactiops. : ———————————— REMOVE BULLET FROM WOUNDED MAN’S SKULL Joseph M.

PRIMROSE PATH MAKES TROUBLE A warrant was issued yesterday charg- H. Flelschman, a well-known a relative of L. W. Hellman and a cousin of Henry Fleischman, the absconder from Los Angeles, with ~embezzlement. The warrant . was sworn to by . Nathan Strauss, who is employed ‘at the Portland ‘Loan 'office -at Stockton street, near O'Farrell. Fleischman. is alleged to have embez- zled certain funds intrusted to his care mond broker, who sells gems and jewelry on-the installment -plan. Friedman has gone East and during his absence he au- -thorized Fleischman to do his collecting for him and to turn the money over to Carru & Green. Certain sums of money known te have been:collected by him are said not to have been accounted for to the firm and for this reason a warrant was procured for his- arrest. Fleischman has left the city ostensibly on a vacation. His friends claim that he is merely taking a rest, but numerous creditors are endeavoring to find out what particular locality he has sought for his recreation. Fleischman is said to have been going a_rapid pace prior to- his disappearance ;e: his present financial difficulties are erally attributed to that cause. | Gunning, | conieay, | céssion.
