WOMAN IS CLEVER DIAMOND THIEF Mysterious Damsel, Thought to Be American Steals Fortune in Gems. IS AN EXPERT SWINDLER Bunco Artist Poses as Wife of Emi nent Madrid Physician, Who la Hoodwinked Into Helping" Out Thief's Game. (Special Cable to the Central Ncwi and The Oregonlan.) MADRID, July 28. A very clever wom an, believed to be an American, yet speaking Spanish perfectly, has Just se cured 10,000 worth of diamonds in a most daring manner. she called one day in what looked like a private carriage, at he Goldsmith & Silversmiths, the leading jewelers of Spain. Here she looked at a large assort ment of valuable diamonds and chose some MO.OOO worth of the best stones. She begged that seme one would accom pany her home in the carriage with the diamonds, as if her husband approved of them he would pay cash Immediately. She gave the name of Dr. Arno as her hus band. He Is one of the famous alienists and a very wealthy man. . One of the principals of the jewelry company agreed to go. Arriving at the doctor's handsome resi dence, which is also his office, the woman got out of the carriage first and marched quickly into the ante-room. She Invited the Jeweler in and then asked him for the diamonds to take to her husband and show him privately. They were handed over and the woman marched into the doctor's private office. She came out in a minute or two and asked the jeweler to Kindly step in and get his money, as her husband ' approved. The jeweler walked In, and the woman disappeared. She had a good ten minutes' start before the discovery of a swindle was made. It appears that the woman called on the doctor and represented herself as a woman of wealth with a husband who showed signs of going insane. She desired to nave mm examined. The doctor made an appointment for the following day at the hour when the woman and the Jew eler arrived. She went first In to the doctor and told him that her husband was in the ante-room. The doctor held the door 4pen as she asked the Jeweler to walk in, and he greeted the man with a cordial smile. The doctor asked the jeweler a' number of questions, and his answers made him certainly think his patient" was Insane. There is no clew to the woman. The carriage she used was nired from a livery stable. WOULD HAVE NEW WORLD London Priest Says He Has Little Use for Old One. LONDON, July 28. Father Vauirhan. the man who has been attacking the smart set in a series or remarkable sermons, has been Interviewed scores of times re cently, but his latest talk with a news paper man is rather more of a startler than usual. Father Vaughan says he has no use for the world as it' is today. If It were possible he would wrap it up carefully and kick It Into space. He wants an entirely new and better world. In .connection with the priest's attacks pn society, attention has been called to a prophecy of "Old Moore," in his alma nac issued last November and dated for the first of the year. In this, rturi" the month of June, "Old Moore" said: "There will be quite a strong set against the frivolities and extravagances of the fash ionable world; In fact, history will repeat Itself and the luxury, not to say licen tiousness, of both English and American smart society will almost run into Puri tanism." Father Vaughan says he does not ask for Puritanism, and there is lit tle sign of Its coming to England in so ciety as yet. NOTORIOUS BRIGAND ACTIVE Italian Bandit Murders Man Who Is Not. Ransomed. ROME, July 28. The notorious brigand, Mulone, Is again at work and defies the police and soldiers. His pres ent band is a small one- of four mem bers of the Mafia. Recently at a place near Milan his band captured a wealthy landowner named Cucurullo. They took him into the mountains and sent a message to his family, naming the price of his ransom. It was a large sum. The family sought the aid of the authorities, and one of the prisoner's fingers was sent them. Day by day other fingers reached them and finally the ears. The soldiers could, find no trace of the brigands, and in the meanwhile the ransom was -not paid. The soldiers have Just found Cucurullo's body shockingly mutilated. Inside the dead man's hat was a letter signed by Mulone, which said that he was -the author of the crime and .that in future ransoms had better be promptly paid. , WOULD-BE ROCKEFELLERS. Many Frenchmen . Plan Ways of ; Spending Oil King's Millions. . PARIS, July 28. The competition of the Gaulois anent dreams of millionaires has come to an end and the prizes have been awarded. . The newspapers said that Mr. Rockefeller possesses 110.000.000 a year income, and asked its readers what they would do with this money If they pos sessed his fortune. Some of the answers were as awful as a Welsh rarebit dream, and a majority were amusing. They ranged from overturning the republic to giving all the money away. SXAKECATCHER SHOWS NERVE Poisoned In Hand, He Bites Off Af fected Part and Lives. GENEVA, July 28. There are so many snakes of a poisonous kind along the banks of the Rhone that the- au thorities engaged a specialist In the snake-catching line to exterminate them. The drouth has caused the great growth of vipers. A specialist named Hussy is a wonderful man. He has only one arm, yet uses this wlta remarkable dexterity, as he catches the snake with it and snaps off their heads with his fingers. The other day he had a little accident. One of the reptiles of the most poi sonous kind bit him in the hand.-The snake-catcher did not hesitate for a moment. There was no help near. He fastened his teeth in his hand and bit off the affected part. "When he came to town later on doctors cauterized the wound. , STRANGE FINALE TO WEDDING Bride Takes Valuables ' and ' Elopes .' With Former Lover. PARIS, July 28. Paul Renault and Ma rie Charente were married with all the pomp and ceremony which Parisian eti quette , demands. Paul Is . a government clerk. Marie was an artist. She was 18, the bridegroom 30. His parents were wealthy, Marie was a beauty and brought no dot. The presents were costly and much valuable jewelry was given Marie, Including some family heirlooms. . The usual feast and drives were over, and the wedding party gathered at the home of the bridegroom for a dance. Just before It broke up the bride left the room to go upstairs. The bridegroom desired to go with her, but she threw him a kiss and said she would return In a minute or two. When she did not come back In 15 minutes the groom went in search of her. He found the door of his parents' bed room locked and finally broke it down. On the bed was his wife's wedding drss. The room was in great confusion. The jewels, valuable presents and' several thousand francs of the groom's savings and also money and jewel belonging to his parents, had disappeared with th bride. Inquiries showed that the bride had left the house attired in a - black dress and that her young lover with a cab was waiting In the street for her. The police were appealed to, but, af looking at the bride's photograph, and telling the groom that his "wife was a well-known thief, all they could do was to advise him upon the easiest way to get a divorce.

ENGLISH CHEW AMERICAN GUM Motorists Find the Habit a Substi tute for Smoking. LONDON, July 28. But for the auto mobile, there is a doubt whether Ameri can chewing gum would be worth the cost of importation Into England. It has been known here for some years, and there are one or two agencies in London of the great American chewing gum firms, but until lately they have not been overworked. The lady of fashion has never taken kindly to It until lately, when she has learned the habit from her male friends who are motorists. The man who went automobillng soon founc'l that he could not smoke either a pipe, cigar or cigarette. Chewing tobacco is undreamed of except among sailors, and so the mo torist took to chewing gum.

Arriving at Oneonta, the car stopped and the conductor went ahead to the Southern Pacific crossing at this point. He saw no train approaching, and the car started ahead reaching the center of the crossing, when the train from- Pasadena for Los Angeles suddenly rounded the curve north and crashed into the car with terrific impact.

The Pacific Electric Com pany Issued the following statement re garding the accident: "It has been impossible so far definitely to place responsibility. We know that the car came to a stop for the purpose of the conductor flagging the crossing, but whether the motorman started before setting proper signal from the conductor, or whether the conductor gave the motor man a go-ahead signal without looking In both directions. It is Impossible to deter mine until a thorough Investigation has been made." LOS . ANGELES CARS COLLIDE Misunderstanding on Right of Way Results in Man's Death. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 28.
