MYSTERY NOTE HOAX LAID TO DEADIIEIRESS Tragedy of Girl at Sea Is Believed Aftermath of Own Grim Prank. By United Pre*s BOSTQN, Feb. 19.—Interest in the mystery death of Elizabeth Barrett Cook, pretty Boston Jieiress, deepened today as the steamer Chinese Prince—on which she died in the Medltteranean, Feb. 7—remained long overdue. Introducing a sensational new theory into the case, the Boston Past said in a copyrighted story today that Elizabeth herself wrote the hoax cablegram, which has figured so prominently in the investigation. The cablegram given to her by Captain Howard Uncles just before the Chinese Prince sailed from iaples, Feb. 4, was said to have been ; igned “Helen James,” who falsely old of the death at Boston of St. ieorge Tucker Arnold of Lynchburg, Va., technology graduate, and Jizabeth's fiance. * Called Seeker of Thrills It had been assumed that it was nt by some meddler and that the Kiief-stricken girl either took her use or accidentally took an excess of drug in seeking relief. But the Post says Elizabeth, with no thought of death, herself perpetrated the hoax “in a search for thrills.'* To substantiate the theory, the Post says it has learned from “passengers” who accompanied Elizabeth on an eastemward trans-At-lantic crossing that she tried to stage a similar hoax on them. The earlier, harmless hoax, according to the Post, was perpetrated aboard the Fabre liner Providence, en route from Providence, R. 1., to Naples, in December. When the liner docked at Lisbon, the newspaper said, Elizabeth visited a telegraph office. After her return to the ship, a messenger arrived with a message for her. He gave it to the purser. Previous Hoax Disclosed The message was almost identical with the present fatal cablegram except that it told of the death of a “mythical” suitor named “Malcolm.” The purser knew it was “faked,” the Post declared, but, nevertheless, was forced to deliver it to the girl. Os Elizabeth’s actions after receiving the earlier missive, the newspaper said: “She refused to be consoled by passengers, who quickly learned of the girl's supposed plight. She kept to her cabin. She walked the decks with a sorrow-lined face. Then one night she perched on the rail. She had screamed about ‘being through with life.* “The purser who had read the cablegram stood nearby. He feared if a man moved toward her she would go through with the suicide gesture. Wisely he whispered to two women. He told them to go toward her quietly and take her from the rail. The girl gave up the suicide gesture. She permitted herself to be taken from where she was perched.” Woman Held in Booze Raid A charge of operating a blind tiger is faced by Mrs. Lola Ross, 149 West Ninth street. Sergeant John Eisenhut and squad, who raided her home Thursday, reported seizure of a gallon of alcohol and ten quarts of home brew beer in a basement locker. More than 150 breakfasts, lunches and dinners are served to various members of the royal retinue of Buckingham palace, London, everyday. *

showed In the weekly federal reserve statement made public today showed a decline of $17,000,000. Normally in this week of the year, the decline is only $5,000,000. The decline last week brings the total estimated to have been brought *ut of hiding in the past two weeks to $37,000,000. The treasury can compute the approximate amount that is hoards ed—that is hidden away in fruit jars, buried in barnyards or kept in safe deposit boxes—by deducting from the total item of “money in circulation” the amount known to them to be necessary for the normal conduct of business, the amount known to have been lost or destroyed, and such items.

in circuit court late Thursday, charging commissioners had no legal right to conduct a trial in an effort to oust Mann. Commissioners, recently, in their own court, found Mann guilty of incompetency, neglect of duties and malfeasance in office. Commissioners Dow W. Vorhies and Thomas Ellis, Democratic board members, are seeking to replace Charles Mann with a Democratic appointee, John S. Mann. The abatement plea charges the “paper purporting to be charges against Mann” merely was an adversary act against him and that
