DIAMOND THIEF CAUGHT
An Accident Saves Mrs. J. Pler
porUtlbran Her Jewels.
New York woIdf.
London, May 6. An elaborately plan
ned scheme to rob Mrs. Pierpant Mor
gan, Jr., of her jewels, was frustrated
by pure accident yesterday.
A man who gave his name as George
Howard exiled at Pierpont Morgan,Jr's
house, No. 13, Prince's Gate,, and asked
to examine the call wire of the District
Messenger "fcompany and was shown
upstairs. He then said he would go to
infc rboti and did so, but unintention
ally pulled the telephone wire about so
that the telephone company sent' an
electrician on a bicycle to see what
-was wrong.
Howard was arrested, and when
searched typewritten instructions were
found on him jcon.tatnhig accurate in
f Ormkffitt?s to k whep the valuables
were keifeowar.i now Identified as
a man long Wanfedr by the police for
jewel robberies - extendmg over some,
years, the aggregate value of the jewels
stolen being $12fr,000. 4
He got $10,000 MrsiMeride's Park
Lane; $15,000 frofh thehouse of Mad
ame Dominguez, Uo. 70?'iTilmay street,
and $6,250 worth at Mr,8 Arputhnot's
No. 6 .Wilton Crescent. Q&ese robberies
were all perpetrated ftlthin a few
months. . h "
Howard refuses all information about
himself, and denies thai he has any
confederates, but the police believe he
must have had business relations with
some receiver to get rid of all these
gems. Howard resided In Leicester.
Turnbridge Wells, and was living In
great style. Had he been successful
in his attempt on Mr. Morgan's house
he would have made a $30,000 haul, to

LECTURER AHD STUDENT FIGHT
BOTH SPENDS ICIGHT tS THE PO
LICE STATIONj,
Lecturer mils on Student With a Bludg
eon and They Go at. It lecturer Held
and Student' Released Cause of the At
tack. New York Sun.
Paul S. Howe, a lecturer employed
by the board of education, and William
Atkinson,a student at the General The
ological Seminary in Chelsea Square
were, prisoners in Jefferson Market po
lice iourt yesterday "morning. Howe
charged with; felonious assault upon
Atkinson and Atkinson with assault
upon Howe. For nearly two hours the
lecturer and theological student stood
in the unsavory line of prisoners await
ing examination. Both bore traces' of
the savage fight they had in the semi
nary late on- Saturday night and in,
wich Howe is said to have been the
aggressor. At last, after hearing the
case, Magistrate Cornell discharged
Atkinson and held Howe in $1,000 bail
i for the Grand Jury.
The , testimony showed that Howe,
who boards with a Mrs. Koehler at 233
West Fourteenth street, called at At
kinson's room on the top floor of the
semina'xy and without preliminary
words assaulted Atkinson. The latter
said that he was prepare for an at
tempt to assault him because Howe had
made threats to that efTect. Atkinson's
story was that while he was at work
he heard a rap at his study door. There
was some fumbling at the knob and he
sprang up to open the door, thinking
that some of the men at thi seminary
were playing pranks. Opening- the
door he found Howe white-faced, wild
eyed, and Atkinson said, intoxicated.
"Howe shoved his hand into the
front of his coat Atkinson testified;

hit him a .blow and-then caught-him. I
was able to hold him. until Fred Cook,

geant luir.ed to Capt Moynihai for
advice.
"Lock v.ra both up,' said he ami ?

.'would only say that he went to Atkin
son's room to demand an explanation
of an affront which he asserted t-.t
Atkinson had ottered Mrs; Koehler.
Howe admitted that lie had been drink
ing. The bludgeon Atkinson referred
to was tenpound cast iron furnace
shaker belonging to the furnace of the
seminary.
' "I thought you were all a lot of lit
.tle lambs down. there," remarked Mag
istrate Cornell.
"No-o, not exactly," said Cook.
Before being taken to court prison
Howe said that Atkinson had violated
his confidence.
"On Christmas . Day he accepted my
hospitality and afterwards affronted
my landlady," Howe 'said. "He per
sisted in payingattention to a young
marled woman after I had warned him
not to do so. He has letters that re
flect upon me and has turned, people
against me. I went to room to
force him to apologize to-yme and to
promise not to contiue his disagree
able actions. 'J haven't a friend iij

Atkinson said that he had known
Howe for about a year and had tried
to help him m his ambition to become
an Episcopal clergyman. On his re
presentations, Atkinson said,some peo
ple in Brooklyyh parish had consented
to recommend , -Howe and he studied
at the seminary for;nearly a year. Last
year he managed a mission in New
Jersey, but the mission fell flat Then
Howetjrent to boarding in West Four- L
teenth street and after watching him,
Atkinson said he dropped him. Howe,
he said, had been lecturingXon Rus
sia and ponstantinople. '
"Howe's feeling against me," said At-:
kinson, "is due to my having dropped
him and my refusal to help him furth
er. He wrote some slanderous letters
to Dean Hoffman of the seminary but
no attention was paid to them. His
stories of my misconduct are quit! un

The young married woman he
speaks of is a very fine woman whose
husband is well able to take' care of
her."

The people of North Carolina will.'
perhaps be surprised to learn that
nearly, if not all, the cotton seed oil
mills in the State have been sold to .
some gigantic corporation, the name of .
Which is being witheld,; but generally
supposed to be , the American . Cotton.
Seed Oil Company. Such, however, ia
a positive fact;4 the only milL known to
your correspondent now included and
not. already in some corporation being;
the Swift Creek Manufacturing Com
pany, a small plant situated at Wren-
dale, Edgecombe county, and which has
not yet been approached. '
The deal was concluded in Norfolk
at 12 o'clock Saturday night and . the
contracts are resigned this morning,
(Monday), when, of course, the pur
chasers will be known. When the deal
was concluded those who sold knew
not to whom they were selling. The
following is a partial list of those "go
ing in" with the amount each is valued
at, and though the valuation may not
be exactly correct it is nearly so:
