A RICH MAN’S DAUGHTER. ___————— I Her Companion Also Arrested on Charge of Abducticn. NEW YORK, Oct. l3.—Mabel C. Lynn 23 years old, of 206 East 20th street, and Mary Dyas, 16 years old, of Ridge~ field, Conn., were arraigned in the Yorkville police court yesterday by detectives from the East 23d street sta- tion, onvcomplaint of James Walter of Ridgefield, who charged the former with abduction and the Dyas girl, who he said was his niece, with disorderly conduct. “Mabel Lynn,” Walter said to the magistrate, “comes from Ridgefield. She is the daughter of a millionaire who has been married six times. She went to the bad and ran away to New York. A few days ago she came back to Ridgefield and got my niece to ac- company her to this city. I received an anonymous letter telling of their whereabouts and came here and the detectives,who knew Mabel Lynn, well, went to her room and arrested both girls.” The girls refused to talk and the magistrate, at the request of the de- tectives, remanded them for further examination to—day. Smith and Kelly, the detectives, had been following the girls since S tturday. The girls had tried several boarding houses and had been required to leave nearly all of them on account of. drinking in their rooms and their habits. The detec- tives came within fifteen minutes of Catching up with the girls at a board- ing house in East 39th street and made arrests yesterday at the address to which the girls’ trunks had been order- ed sent from there. Gen. J. S. Case— ment of the Waldorf-Astoria, is a part- ner of the Lynn girl’s father in a coffee plantation of Costa Rica, the police say, and the girls have been spending money which he gave the elder one to pay her expenses home.

On the return to New York Captain P’ease gave his passengers an opportunity to watch the sailors on both yachts take in sail while being towed to their anchorage. When the Grand Republic reached the battery dock tickets were distribut- ed to all on board good for another trip to witness the race, thus adding further to the popularity of the manage- ment and Captain Peas e. “ vA 7‘ L’Hommedieu—Benedict.
