Man Who Was Soclety Leader In Lake City and Won Large Prac- tice by Fight on Saloons Spends Night In Cell. Lodowick Holmes Jones, Buffalo's "Soy reformer,” was brought into the Jefferson’ Market Police Court to- @ay on complaint of the manage- ment of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, who charged him with violation of the Hotel act. y The young man, who has been a s0- elety leader in Buffalo, had spent the night in @ cell at the Tenderloin police station. He was arrested last evening @t the Hotel Somerset, in West Forty- weventh street, where he was living with his bride of only a few months. Jones and his wife are said to have gone to the Waldorf-Astoria on March & and stayed there a week, occupying fooms which cost $20 a day. His bill amounted in all to $20, and he paid it with a check drawn on the Merchants and Traders’ Bank in Buffalo. The day after he left the hotel the check for $240 and one for $20, which had been cashed as an accommodation to Mr. Jones, were returned by the bank, marked “Insufficient funds.”* Traced to the Somerset. A detective then traced Jones to the Gomerset Hotel. When arrested he gave ‘is name as Louls Johnson, and said he was a clerk. In his pocket there was @ ailver pocket knife marked “L. H. Jones." The police say they learned that after Joens left the Waldorf-Astoria he went to the Netherland, where he stayed for two weeks and then presented a eheck for $150. This was returned by the Merchants and Traders’ Bank, so the police say, and then Jones tele- graphed to Suffalo and obtained money, In court the prisoner admitted that be wes L. H. Jones, a lawyer, of Buf- falo, ‘and signed the papers ‘as such. Detective Jones was present and asked to have the charge withdrawn, as the Bill had been paid, It was explained that the charge of ering q worthless draft was false. jones “had had funds in the Buffalo Bank. Four months ago he gave a note for $800, which was presented at the bank this week. Megs forgotten ghat It was due, he thought he stiil had fonds, and thetefore iseued the draft. fe was discharged. Jones had a meteorio career in Buffalo. He is now twenty-six years old. After being admitted to the bar five years ego ‘he began making vigorous efforts to reform the city. Uned Camera to Reform. He adopted the camera scheme of ob- taining evidence against saloon-keepers who were violating the Sunday closing law, and his methods frequently led to his ‘having personal encounters with the paloon men, ‘The young man's fight made him popu- Jar among the younger edement in Buf- falo and he soon was overwhelmed with work in his profession. The local Anti- Baloon League engaged htm as its at- torney, ‘other reform organizations hajled"him as the David who would dl- rect a slung-shot at the salooh evil, and altogether his future seemed to be @ most promising one. In the midst of his success, however, there came rumors that he was living above his income. A short time ago he went to Baltimore and was married. Then he came to New York. Jones became a member of the City Club of New York several months ago, and has since been a frequent visitor there.

GOES IN SEARCH OF HIM. PITTSBURG, May 9—The offer of a reward of $20,000 will, it 1s thought, lead to the finding of George Walls, the son of an East Pittsburg millionaire, who has been strangety missing for eigh- teen months. His father and brother have gone to York County, and from a letter received from there they think the young man is being held by kid- nappers. Walla was a mechanical engineer and was engaged in repairing a filtering plant at the paper mills in Spring Grove, York County. One morning in the fall of 1901 he left the Hotel Windsor, where he had been living, to go to work. From the moment he left the village street until last Wednesday he had neither been seen nor heard of by the residents of the little ¢own or his friends. News in a Letter. ‘Last week Martin Walls recived a letter from friends in York County eay- ing that his son had been seen tn a re- mote part of the county, and hinting at @ strange story. The offer of $20,000 for any informa- tion as to the boy's fate ts believed to be responsible for young Walls's re- potted reappearance. Only a few days after young Walls disappeared the pro- prietor of the hotel at which Walls boarded was also reported missing. At the same time the fact developed that several actions at law had been en- tered against the hotel man, and the details of a plot, in which it was al- leged he was implicated, became public, Plot to Kidnap. The plot was to kidnap and hold for ransom the ten-year-old son of Willlam Gladfelder, a wealthy business man ot Spring Grove and proprietor of the paper mills. A small army of detectives were put to work on the case, but in spite of months of patient search they never procured the slightest clue upon which to work. Since the old man and his son started for York County no message has been received from them further than a brief | P’ telegram stating that they had not yet found the young man. News that he was alive had been al- lowed to Miter into Spring Grove during the past few months, and intimations that a big reward might produce results caused Martin Wall’s friends to suggest the course to him, From this and other facts that have leaked out in East Pittsburg the resi- dents of the little town expect to hear that George Walls has been found ana that the $20,000 reward has been pald and no questions asked, ‘ HARRY P. WHITNEY FLOODS A TOWN, Draining of Lake on His Long Island Estate Inundates Manhasset and Makes Trouble. MANHASSET, L. 1, May 9—This town was flooded by the draining of the lake on Harry Payne Wnitney’s estate, and to-day the construction of a new stone sluiceway was started to replace the old wooden one tat was torn out, Lake Success, which the villagers had long said was “bottomless,” was also drained at the request of W, K. Van- derbilf, {r., and found to be quite shal- low. ‘The lake on Mr. Whitney's estate is in a natural valley and was formed by a dam of logs. The great amount of water held there has been a menace to the village for some time. The water has been very high of late and men were sent yesterday to let it off and repair the dam. The rush of water carried away the rotten logs and the lake was soo dry. ‘Thousands of fish were carried away in baskets. Stone Js being hauled to-day, and before night masons will be at work constructing the new dam and sluice- way.

MOSQUIT Flatbush in Commotion Over Early Arrival of Summer’s Plague, and Others Must Be- ware. BABY SCORES FIRST BITE. No, the office boy hasn't the smallpox and the cashier hasn't caught the measles from the baby. The mosquito has invaded Fiatbussh. ‘With all his myriad hosts the summer ruler marched into the suburb during tho night and caught the householder unawares. Many a man went to bed feeling safe in the protection afforded by Commissioner Greene, but his sleep was rudely broken. Two scouts of the pest army came sleuthing up Flatbusn avenue a short time after midnight. It was an hour be- fore they found Potceman McCafferty asleep in the hallway of a big build- ing, and they hurried back to give the order to advance. Bahy gaye the first intimation that the siege was on. From the tangle of quilts in her little crib there came a howl that brought papa and mamme to her side. On baby’s chubby arm was a raised, red lump, and down baby’s check the tears were coursing freely. “They're here," whispered papa. “Poor Uttle pet,” sald mamma. On the post of the ved sat mosquito, grinning in fiendish glee. Even as he laughed at the despair of his human foes a confederate perched on papa's neck. There was no more sleep in the house. The war was on, and all knew full well that not until autumn’s frosts come will the fighting be! over. The sun was not yet up, there were only a few gray strenks in the east when commotion was heard in Flatbush. From the depths of the basement and from the furthermost recesses, of attic were hauled forth the screens that since October have been enjoying a rest. Such a hammering, such a sawing and scraping and swearing hag not been heard for @ year, It even broke the calm repose of Policeman McCafferty, upon which mospultoes had had no effect. Long seasons have made the valiant protector of Flatbush homes immune, But what's the use. While Mr. Smith is pounding his fingers and making re- marks that send his wife to the other ant of the house, mosquito is well es- tablished In comfortable quarters within. He is there, and he js there to stay. “Don't kick to me,” sald Dr. Joseph H. Raymond at the Brooklyn Board of Health rooms when the first complainer came into his office this morning.

He lay on the ground for a few minutes. Several of the officials ran te hls assistance. The spectators thought that he was seriously Injured, and the exhibition was at a standstill for a short time.
