on a charge of robbery made by Miss
Clayborne Sheldon, of Buffalo, who told
the magstrate a remarkable story of
her arrival here aa a atranger and her
attempt to reach a reputable Broadway
hotel through the medium of a, cab.
Miss ; Sheldon , came from Buffalo
January 16, aha aald, to aeek a position,
having achieved at home something of
a reputation aa a -vocalist. ' She, had
been directed to an' up town hotel, but
at the Woohawkon terminal of the rail
road took the ferry boat for Franklin
street, instead of West 42nd etreet, and
landed down town. ' " 7
1 told the first cabman that I met
that I wanted to go the hotel, said she.
"He said It would cost $5 and I got nto
the cab. , . . "." :, ; ,.'..'
. "I do not know how many milea I was
driven but hours passed, and it seemed
to me' aa if X had made the circuit of
the city several times.. Every time 1
spoke to the cabman he aald that we
were getting near the hoteL -' l could
not understand what the man, meant,
and after we had passed a familiar cor
ner I stopped the cab, determined to?
get out. "Where am If I aald.r Tou
are near the hotet' he replied. J
i"ilv"elL I will walk the rest of the
way. I said, then I tried to get out.
The cabman seized me and forced me
Into the ee&t. Tou will act few tale

I asked what for and he told me t
give- up the money to avoid trouble. 1
screamed and he eelsed me by the;
throat JJe told me te keep quiet JW
my own good, but 1 kept on fighting aa
well aa I could, ; Then he threw si
handkerchief ' over my face. I think
it was saturated wlOt chloroform. It
made me sick. I eeaaed to atruggle ,
and do not recall anything until some
time afterward 1 found myself lying m
a gutter.' I was dased and sick. After
a while I was able to walk and found
that X waa at Forty-ninth and Eighth
avenue, nearly two miles from the -'

bor, has shown that all the ships have

estimated by several tons. .This gov
ernment has, In the past, permitted

French ships are to be placed on the
some basis aa the American vessels.
Ten vessels flying the French flag
have been measured and in every
