Tovrea Shows Disillusionment

SAN FHAXCISCO. Jan. 13. (Special.)
Rev. Frank Horn, pastor of the First
Baptist Church in Richmond, arose In
secret at some hour of the night In his
lodgings at 112 Xlchol avenue, from a
sickbed to which he had been confined
for several days anil silently stole
away. Most of his effects were left in
their accustomed places In his Rich
mond apartments, where last Monday
he was confronted with accusations of
improper and in some cases criminal
conduct in various places.
"Wo don't know when he left." said
P. Church, who with Mrs. Church keeps
the place where tne minister of mystery
has lodcred durinir his latest pastorate.
"We didn't know he had gone until this
mornins and he left no word to tell us
where he was going or when he would
return. He hasn't Rone for good,
though, because he left most of his
things in his room."
Attorney la Skeptical.
Attorney D. J. Hall, formerly Super
ior Judge of Trinity County and now
of the Richmond law firm of Odell &
Hall, who recognized in the strenuous
pastor, as he declared, the man who
married Miss Eva Met in Jieddlng two
years ago under the name of "Owen
F. De Tovrea," laughed today when In
formed of the apparent flight of Horn.
"I suppose he's gone to hunt for that
queer double, of his that he says has
got him into all his trouble," comment
ed Hail, whimsically. "I can't say that
I am surprised, although It was report
ed that the man really did seem to be
aulte ill."
Hall nnd his partner represent Mrs.
De Tovrea in her action for divorce and
alimony against her missing husband,
whom she says she found in the per
son of the Richmond pastor, who now
has slipped Into the obscurity which
swallowed up De Tovrea nearly two
years ago.
Mr. De Tovrea Sot Sorprlited.
"I Just knew he'd do that," cried Mrs.
Da Tovrea. when she learnea toaay in
her father's homo in San Francisco of
the flight of her supposed husband from
Richmond. "Mother," she called.
Owen's cone."
Mrs. Mctz appeared and solicitously
patted her daughters forehead.
"You ought to be glad to get rid of
him." she said. "Don't let him worry
you any more, dearie.
"I'd like to get back my music,
though, and my silver things," said the
girl, plaintively.
In splfe of the natural brightness
and charm or her lace, sorrow ana c.is-
illusionment have made their mark.
"I thought all ministers were good
and noble, she went on, mournfully,
"so it was a great shock to mo to find
what Owen was."
Early this afternoon Mrs. De Tovrea.
with her mother, started for Richmond
to see if there were anything among
tlie things left by "Rev. Frank Horn"
by which he could be definitely identi
lied as .he man who wantonly lured a
confiding young girl from her chosen
musical career.
Church Opinio Divided.
In Richmond today the news of
Horn's disappearance produced various
effects upon those who had known him
there. Many of those who withdrew
from the church after ho became its
pastor, because of his stern denuncia
tions of dancing and other amusements
as "doors to hell," received the news
with smiles of satisfaction at what
they take to be a complete vindication
of their judgment of the stranger who.
so quickly made himself a decidedly
disturbing influence in the religious
and social lifo of Richmond after his
arrival, seven months ago.
Others, who believed in his earnest
ness and accepted his ministerial views
concerning correct conduct for church
members, were further shocked by the
latest revelation in regard to their
mysterious pastor, though some of
them still insisted that Horn actually
is the victim of mistaken identity and
will return to vindicate himself in the
eyes of his many accusers.

AMERICAN "KING" IS DEAD
Captain Adams, Discoverer and
Ruler of Swan Island, Passes.
NEW YORK, Jan. IT,. (Special.)
News of the death of Captain Alonzo
Adams of pneumonia at the Boston
State Hospital was received today.
Captain Adams was born in New Eng
land 65 years ago and was ruler, by
right of discovery, of Swan Island,
which lies in the Caribbean Sea about
100 miles from Nicaragua and is five
miles wide at its broadest stretch and
has 40 miles of coast line.
Forty years ago Captain Adams, then
owner and skipper of the coasting ves
sel Polly Ann, took possession of the
island. There were then about 100
natives on the island. He built a house
there, later put up a lighthouse and in
his "palace" raised a family consist
ing of two sons and two daughters, all
of whom, with the widow, survive him.
Until a year ago Adams was execu
tive, legislative and judicial branch of
all government that Swan Island
boasted.
About a year ago, when it became
certain the United States wished to
take over Swan Island because of its
proximity to the Panama Canal, as a
coaling station, Captain Adan.s said
good bye to his island and came north
to a farm he had bought at hast riamp
ton, Conn.

HOME RULE BILL
APPROACHES VOTE
Balfour Moves Rejection by
Commons and Premier
Asquith Replies.
ULSTER'S FEARS ARE TOLD
Government Lays Stress on Safe
guards for Protection of Prot
estants, Offering Con
cessions. LONDON. Jan. 15. The starting to
day of the home rule bill on its final
stage in the House of Commons was
the occasion for two speeches which
seldom have been excelled In the
House, one by Prime Minister Asquith,
and the other by Mr. Balfour, formerly
leader of the opposition. Debate fi
nally was adjourned to tomorrow, when
a division will be taken.
When the orders of the day were
called. Mr. Balfour, at the request of
the opposition leader, Andrew Bonar
Law, moved the rejection of the meas
ure. Dealing with the bill In a gen
eral way, Mr. Balfour laid stress on
the case of Ulster, the present condi
tion of which he likened to that of the
American colonies before the Revolu
tion. He charged the government with
showing a dangerous want of appre
ciation of that section and, pointing
his finger at the government bench,
said:
If blood be spilled which. God for
bid the real assassins will be those
who never have had the courage to
face the situation."
Aaqaith Mentions Safeguarda.
Premier Asquith pleaded with the
House to forget the past and give Ire
land what the vast majority demanded.
He laid stress on the safeguards in
troduced in the bill to prevent the
Protestants from being oppressed by
the majority and repeated the govern
ment's offer to introduce other safe
guards if the opposition would outline
what was wanted.
T. P. O'Connor supported the hill in
behalf of the Nationalists. Thomas
C. R. Agar-Robartes. one of the two
Liberals opposing the measure, de
nounced the bill as one of coercion,
and said that unless the Ulster ques
tion were settled, the bill was fore
doomed to failure.
William O'Brien, leader of the Inde
pendent Nationalists, said that while
he could not accept the bill as a final
settlement of the Nationalists' re
quirements, he regarded It as a sin
cere and courageous message of peace
to Ireland.
Internal Strife Predicted.
The laborites adhesion to home rule
was declared by James Packer, sitting
for Halifax.
James Henry Campbell, leader of the
Ulsterites in the absence of Sir Ed
ward Carson, who, although he had
fought the bill, was unable to be pres
ent because of the illness of his wife,
repeated Ulster's objection to home rule
and declared the bill would produce in
ternecine strife and permanent disaster.
"The government has taken each
group of their supporters in turn," said
Mr. Balfour. "They said to the Irish:
'We will give you nationality': to the
British: "We will give you peace and
tranquillity'; to the taxpayers: 'We will
give you economy.
"They said to the home rulers: 'This
Is a step toward the disintegration of
the United Kingdom." They said to
the Imperialists: 'This is a step towards
closer unity of the Empire.'
"They said to the south and west of
Ireland: 'You have an inalienable right
to be governed by ydurselves according
to your own ideas.'
"They said , to the north and east of
Ireland: 'You will never be so happy
as when governed by other people, ac
cording to their Ideas.'
Peace la Idle Dream.
"The greatest dupes will be the Na
tionalists, who think that the govern
ment is making Ireland a nation, and
the people of this island, who think
that they will be given peace."
"No one would say." continued Mr.
Balfour, "that the Roman Catholics will
prosecute in the old style or deliber
ately persecute the minority at all.
But will that reconcile the minority
in the North of Ireland to live undr
the control of the majority, where for
generations religion and politics have
been mixed and under the control of
the majority who have complete con
trol of education and patronage?
Ulstermen will be in the Irish Parlia
ment to be taxed, n: to tax."
Rising to reply, the Prime Minister
said:
"The sentiments, traditions and mor
al and economic conditions which have
made the Irish question what it now
is. have not been .taken Into considera
tion by the right honorable gentleman.
In spite of past history the Irish Na
tionalist movement has passed from
the stage of sentiment and now is an
organized and practical reality.

"It will be pedantry, not statesman

The Prime Minister continued:

run. We have been justified by ex

more than our reward in the increased
loyalty and affection of the empire as

men have kept apart, in fruitful and

WOMAN HELD PRISONER
DIVORCED WIFE OF PORTLAND
FLORIST RESCUED BY POLICE.
Mrs. W. C. Hoffman Found in Los
Angeles, Where She Had Been
Locked Up Tor Six Weeks.
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 15. (Special.)
Held prisoner in a rooming-house in
the Japanese section for more than six
weeks, under white slavery conditions
said to be without parallel in tho local
police annals, was the story told by
Anna Hoffman, divorced wife of W. C.
Hoffman, of Portland, who was rescued
early this morning by detectives after
her screams had attracted the attention
of a passerby. Whon the officers ar
rived she was praying for death. The
story the woman told the police con
tained details of a revolting character.
When rescued she was in a precarious
condition, and -doubt of her recovery is
entertained. ,
Pain and suffering during six weeks
of bondage have given her the appear-,
ance of an old woman.
With Mrs. Hoffman at the time of
her arrest was a man who gave the
name of George F. Chandler. This man
is accused by the girl of being her
keeper during. her imprisonment.
Chandler was arrested at the time of
the raid on the rooms where they were
living. She said she had been under
lock and key all during the time that
Chandler had been her captor.
Mrs. Anna S. Hoffman was the wife
of W. C. Hoffman, of Hoffman Bros.,
florists, for about nine years. She was
divorced in March, 1912. Her former
husband had received two telegrams
In the last few days asking for assist
ance; but she gave no street address,
and he-had telegraphed to find out her
whereabouts. Mrs. Hoffman's maiden
name was Anna S. White!
