POSED AS A RICH MAN.
Bridegroom Fooled His Wife, But Not
the Police. Reported Loss of $16,
000. After Telling a Mysterious
Story of Being "Doped," Taken to
Tenderloin and Fleeced, L. B. Hick
man Admitted That He Had Not
Been Robbed.
BALTIMORE. Aug. 17. Claiming
to have been "doped" In one of several
saloons in the redllght district yester
day morning, L. B. Hickman, of 232
North Carey street; accompanied b
Mrs. Hickman, came Into detective
headquarters in the court house late
this afternoon.
Hickman said that arter neing
doped" he was induced to withdraw
$16,000 from the . National marine
hank while la dased condition, and
that he waslater enticed down the
Shell road to one of the numerous re
sorts that flourish near Back and Mid
dle rivers, where he says he was rob
bed of a little over iib.ouo.
Thn notice was dubious about Hick
man's story, as the officers of the Na
tional Marine bajik said tnai tne naum
of L. B. Hickman is not on uie oarni
books. .
Hickman was sweated tonignt at
headquarters, and, after close ques
tioning, he reduced his loss first to
$1,600, and then to $600. Finally he
confessed he had lost nothing at all.
It appears that, prior to nis mar
risen .ahort time ao. he led his wife
to believe he was very wealthy. Since
then, however, he has shown no evi
dence of being well fixed, and, becom
ing suspicious, the bride Insisted up
on seeing the color of his coin. He
withstood the demand until yesterday,
when he promised to maue gooa.
The nresumption is mat ne aaopieu
the robbery plan of satisfying his
wife, and It would probably have work-

tive. , ... . '
When reporting nts imaginary iu.
Hickman fold a mysterious story,
while his wife wept bitterly by his
side He said that the effects- of the
powerful drug given him while in the
uptown Tenderloin were so severe
that when he awoke at 10 o'clock last
night he took a Back or Middle River
car transferred to Carey street car.
and arrived home in a dazed condi
tion, hardly conscious of his great

ional American Red Cross Society has
requested the State Department to in
form it of the extent of the Chilean
earthquake and of advisability of ap
pealing to this country for relief for

count of meagre reports received in
Washington the Red Cross hesitated
to take any steps previous to this
time. . Assistant Secretary, of State
Bacon is a member of the executive
committee of the Red Cross Society.
Report Received Saturday.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. Official

The resolution adopted by the

with favor.- It has been suggested that

establish the proposed school in con
