Four of the women recognized articles in the collection of loot as their own, stolen from their homes while they were out and thelr flats presumably securely locked. Allen was arrested yesterday by De- tectives Dunn and Stransky, who saw him board a car in Harlem carrying a f heavy valise, and, knowing him to be \ @ thief, followed him to his room at No. 148 West Thirty-second street. They | found enough clothing, silverware, furs, | eilks and other valuable stuff to stock | @ store A prepossessing mulatto woman who said she was Allen's wife was In charge of the place. Two years ago Allen was | arrested and sent to prison. At that time his wife was a young Scotch girl. Allen refuses to day what has become of her. Publication of the fact of Allen's ar- rest in The Evening World was all that was needed to start the rush of )Harlem flat-dwellers toward Police Headquarters. At the request of the |@etectives Allen was* remanded for ‘twenty-four hours that time might be gained in which to find complainants, ¥rom indications there will be com- plainants in plenty. Mrs. Nathan Friedman, of No. 70 West One Hundredth street, identified $200 worth of stuff as having been ‘stolen from her flat on June 1. Mrs, A. M. Keneally and Miss A. M.

GREW TIRED OF BENG HUNTED Charles Stern, a Fugitive Banker, Returns from World Wanderings and Gives Him- self Up. Tired of wandering about the earth, a fugitive from justice, Charles Stern, the young banker who absconded seven years ago, has returned to New York to give himself up. Everywhere he) went—in Europe, Asia and Africa—the thought that he was a fugitive followed him until he could bear it no longer. He says he prefers to face the law. Stern was born in Poland and was brought here when a child. Before he was twenty-one he had acquired con- siderable property and owned tw) small banks on the east side in which many poor countrymen deposited their earnings. Like many others, he dab- bled in Wall street and lost all he had. In March, 1896, he cashed several worthless checks and with more than $5,000 in his pockets fled from the city. Scores of duped poor men and women clamored in yain for the money they had deposited in his banks. A week later he was caught in Hall- fex. He gave up the money, which was sent back to satisfy the claims against him. He went to England, thence to South Africa and then to In- dia, China and Australia, FIRE ROUTS OUT TENANTS.

They Made a Wager. With her two companions, Margaret Kelly and Mary Carrol, she visited the beach and prepared for a good revel in the cold Atlant! “I'll bet you can't stay in the water three minutes,” sald Miss Kelly. “Back up your bet with something substantial and I'll make it a go,” re- turned the girl from Chicago, and matinee tickets for the crowd were settled upon Miss Cheever tripped down to the beach and began to enjoy for the first time the caresses of the Atlantic. She appeared to be havirg a good time and the three-minute limit was past when watchers on the beach saw the distance between them and Miss Cheever getting alarmingly greater. Suddenly they saw the bather throw up her arms. A cry for help came from the Chicago girl's throat, which was echoed by the two friends on the beach. Sitting on tie veranda of the Manhattan Beach hotel was a young man who had been watch- ing the fair swimmer with admirin, eyes. At the cry for help he dashe down the steps, throwing off his coat and vest as he ran. He Went to Her Rescue. The Chicago girl was not to be scen when the strange young man swam out to the spot where she had sunk.

After being revived the girl said that she had been chilled and had got be- yond her dept. “If £ hac not been go cold I could have taken care uf myself, for I am a good swimmer," she sald. "I'm would never enjoy another dip if It ha not been for my brave rescuer."’ The young man who so gallantly saved Mis Cheever refused to give, his name “Tam not a New Yorker," he swid, ‘and what I did is not worth talkin, about.
