"MEMPHIS, Nov. 2O.-LIke an avenging
Nemesis Miss Howell has camped on the
trail of Hugh W. Bryson for four years.
A dashing young man of aristocratic fam
ily, he easily won the heart of this girl
while she was visiting h«»re In 1896. ¦ She
said- she was deluded under the promise
of marriage. When, a child was' born it
was placed in the Leath Orphan Asylum,
whence it. mysteriously disappeared.
"A baby boy in the possession of Mrs.
Olivia Colton of this city was alleged by
Miss Kowell's attorney. Senator. W.\V.
.Sullivan of Mississippi, to be €he child.
The defense alleged that the .real child
had died and the one which Miss Howell
was attempting to regain through the
STORY IN MEMPHIS.
Soon after the child's birth, she de
clares, Bryson arid one Dr. Wlllford took
it from the house late one night and
drove away with it in the direction of
a cemetery. She consulted a lawyer and
to him Bryson stated that the child, had
been sent to Indianapolis and later said
it was in Little Rock. He agreed to go
to Little Rock with her, but instead he
left Memphis for St. Louis.
She engaged detectives and for four
years the search for, the man has been
in progress. He went to San Francisco,
where he was in business under the name
of Lorraine and had an office .In the Mills
building. Her detectives, finally found
him in Oxnarji and she came to California
to see him.. She did not want him, but
came only to learn the fate of her child.
They met here in a lawyer's office and
Bryson agreed to go'back with her, a de
tective to accompany them.
Five minutes before the train pulled out
he turned to her and declared that he
had decided to fight the .case and would
not go back to Memphis. The detective
who w*s with them later took from her
a revolver, which she was carrying, she
said, to comp'el him I to tell her where
her child was. ' To-day she secured a
warrant for his arrest and he was taken
into custody, being later released on 52500
bond, which was furnished -by .F. O.
Engstrom, a contractor.. The case will
be heard next Monday,
Bryson refused to make a detailed state
ment, but said he was not the father of
the child. He claims to nave' given ner
$400 and declares that it is but an at
tempt to blackmail him. He Is afraid that
she will kill him and to-day summoned a
policeman to his office to prevent her from
coming there. She made no; attempt .to
enter. She says she has almost unlimited
funds behind her and that she wlUsee
him properly punished unless he gives
her back her child. • > . . ; >

arrived to-nlcht: • ¦ : - „

says, placed her in a boarding house
where she remained practically a pris
oner I for five months, her relatives be
lieving that she -was visiting in Nash
ville.
According to a servant in De Rydzen
ski's house Miss Gore paid frequent visits
to the Russian, who, it is now reported,
first said that she had committed suicide'
but afterward told the police that while
holding the revolver in his hand it slipped
from his grasp and went off as it fell
De Rydzenski's version of the affair is
that while he was conversing with his
visitor he had occasion ¦ to pick up an
article from the table and he knocked
off the revolver, the fall of which to the
floor caused It to discharge. The bullet
struck Miss Gore and she fell backward
on the bed in an unconscious condition.
The commissary of police, who has charge
of the case, says the story seems improb
able, but it is impossible as yet to say
whether the case is one of murder or ac
cident. Nothing has yet been discovered

and several other persons entered" the
room and found Miss Gore lying on the

Concerning the Panama canal the Em
bassador said I the question had no official
status, but that, he would continue the
friendly efforts of M. Cambon on behalf
of. the company. He added that the most
powerful advocate for the . Panama' route
was the volcanos of Guatemala and Nic
aragua, which kept speaking in tones of
thunder in favor of Panama. "As M.' Jus
serand has written several books in Eng
lish he was asked his opinion of American
literature. He said he had been brought
up with American authors, as his father's
library contained the works of> Cooper
and Hawthorne along with the French
classics, and his later meeting with Amer
ican authors gave him.a personal interest
in/the, subject. He related 'that- on one
occasion, when dining witii Bret Harte at
the, Rabelais Club In London, the Amer
ican author expressed regret that he was
unrecognized in France.. M. Jusserand
assured him that Frenchmen were famil
iar with the peculiar cadence of Western
stories and proved by reciting the closing
lines of "The Luck of Roaring Camp"'
his personal acquaintance with Bret
Harte's work, j Bret Harte repaid the
compliment by saying that when he was
a struggling j clerk j in California he was
impressed ' by the • dramatic descriptive
power of the elder Dumas' and thereafter
molded his style after that of the great
French author. : ?'.-,'/'. ; x "
'The -Embassador spoke of : the /pleasure
with which he had read President Roose
velt's strenuous philosophy and his ranch
tales. These works- were -brought vto- hla
attention during a sojourn at the Royal
Palace, near Copenhagen; where -Princesa

books and declared them' to be" most de

FAVORS PANAMA ROUTE.
.Questioned regarding the pending
Franco-American questions M. Jusserand
said there were happily no serious issues
between the two countries at the present
time owing, to the cordiality between
them. He Intended to devote his casual
attention to the reciprocity treaty which
was still pending . and said he saw no
reason why the two countries should not
develop . their, mutual v trade by .a- more
liberal exchange of the products which
each . produced exclusively., i He cited
American machinery, raw cotton and pe
troleum as articles having no French com
petition, which could form a basis of ex
change against those French articles
which had no competition in the United
States.
The correspondent asked M. Jusserand,
who was at Copenhagen during the dis
cussion of the proposed sale of the Dan
ish West Indies to the United States, the
cause of the failure to . effect the sale.
He said that, the sentiment against any
further reduction of the. Danish domin
ion operated" strongly I against* -.the proj
ect, although it was at first supposed that
a universal desire for-, the sale existed;
The failure brought its compensations,
as the discussion disclosed clearly that
the Danish West Indies would not go to
any other power than "the United States,
which, with the island of Porto Rico,
now possessed harbors superior to those
in the British island of St. Vincent and
in the islands of the " Danish West In
dies. The failure ' was ftlso to some ex
tent an evidence of personal devotion to
the King, who ¦ shared' in the sentiment
against parting with the country's an
cient possessions. jj> The ' Embassador paid
a high tribute to the. noble qualities of
the King, and said that although he was
an old man he rode on horseback daily
unattended and could leap, hurdles with
President Roosevelt. .
The Embassador referred to the grow
ing importance of America in the world's
afiairs and said it was noticeable that
throughout liurope the position .. of : the
United States as a world-power was
everywhere recognized. He thought that
this imposed serious , trials and responsi
bilities on the country, -and, pointed out
that, while the commercial development
of the United States was 'marvelous," yet
its intellectual progress < was . keeping
pace with its material adyance. v In this
connection the Embassador -cited the
growth of American universities and re
lated a personal incident. He had re
cently received, he said, from a compar
atively obscure college in the interior of
the United States a. most scholarly criti
cism on his theory regarding the origin
of the manuscripts of "The Vision . of
Piers Plowman." ,
He recalled that while secretary to the
French j Embassy in London, he formed
the acquaintance of the former American
Ministers to London, Lowell, Phelps and
Robert T. Lincoln. He . shares the ad
miration for Lowell's. literary genius, and
related an incident showing. Lowell's hold
on foreign affection. When word was
received in London, he said, that 'Lowell
was dying, Sir Leslie Stephen, the cele
brated author, who was'himself in feeble
condition, immediately sailed for America
to see his former friend for the last time
and the same sentiment prevailed
throughout the literary; world. M. Jus
seraiKl also spoke of the brilliant oratory
of Phelps and says that he: had kept 1 up
his interest in American affairs more re
cently by reading American books, study
ing the American system and by a con
stant correspondence with a number of
well-known Americans, two of whom be
long to the faculty of Columbia Univer
sity. . .
