ROBBERS MAKE GOOD HAUL IN DOWNTOWN JOB Take Furs and Women’s Apparel Worth Thousands of Dollars. ENTER ACROSS R )OF Fur coats, a mink cape, and drerses of a total value estimated at from $ r .,000 to $5,000 were stolen early today by burglars who broke into the Rites Shops, 43 and 45 South Illinois street. The thieves reached the roof of a building at 84-38 West Maryland streets, forced three heavy steel bars of a third floor wteiow, Jimmied the window, breaking the lock and climbed through Into the strre. Instead of going down the stairway ’wading to the second and first floors on which the offices of the company are located and also salesrooms for men's clothing and the big Jewelry store of the company, the burglars broke tne glass of a door leading to the salesroom of the women’s department on the third floor. Reaching through the broken glass they unlocked the door. Richard D. Evans, manager of the store, discovered the robbery at 8 a. ra. when he went to the third floor of the building. COAT ANT) DRESS HOLDERS PILED CP. Coat and dress holders were stacked in piles in various parts of the third floor salesroom. In one place there was abont thirty-one dress holders. These probably represented the number of dresses taken, Mr. Evans said. A mink cape valued at S3OO was missing. At least four valuable fur coats were taken by the burglars. It seemed to re the opinion of the employes of the •tore that the burglars did not visit the first and second floors of the building, but contented themselves with robbing the store of dresses and furs on the third floor. Early reports to the police were that the merchandise stolen would amount to $6,000 to $12,000 in value, but later Mr. Evans declared ne dia not believe the loss would exceed $6,000. There are a number of ways to reacn the roof over which the burglars walked to reach the third floor of the store. A fire escape in the rear of the building occupied by the Griffith Millinery Company, 24-32 West Maryland street, would afford the burglars an easy -oute to tbe roof of the building between the Griffith building and the one occupied by the Rites. To reach this ffre escape which leads down to a courtyard in the rear, tbe burglars could pass through buildings facing Pearl street. They also could have gone up a talrway leading from Illinois street. In buildings adjoining the store and from some vacant ehom In one of these adjoining buildings have reached the roof from where it was not difficult to force the window. The bars over the window, three of w*ich were removed by the burglars, xv' j set in wood and were easily torn out. Burglars broke Into Thomas Payne's cigar store, 759 Indiana avenue and obtained cigars snd cigarettes worth $lO and two overcoats. The glass was broken from the front door of the Hoskins and Miller drug store. New York aid Blake streets, and $5 was stolen from he cash register Mra. W. R. Carbaugh, 632 Marion avenue, was awakened i.t 3 a. m. and found a burglar in her room. The man flaahed a light In her face, but when he saw she was awake he ran from the house through a rear door. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hutton, 325 Ea: t Walnut street, returned home in time to see a burglar robbing their house. The man had turned on a llight in the bedroom. Hutton went to the front door and the burglar ran out the rear door. A safety razor was the only thing stolen. Margaret Eargott, Jl7 West Morris street, reported that a thief stole a velvet coat from her home. The coat, she said was worth $175. Burglars broke into the parish house of St. Anthony's Parish, 679 Warman avenue, early today. The Rev. A. H. Butald said a side window was forced snd the burglar took a dlomand ring, an overcoat and sls whlcb had been donated to charity. William Dixon, negro, 413 Roanoke street, told the police early today that while he was away from home a burglar ransacked his house and stole a tin box containing $540. The box, he said, was hidden in a closet. The police say Dixon is the same man who last week was convicted of operating a blind tiger and received a heavy sentence in city court, It being his third conviction.

In addition to the assaults, yeggmen carted a safe from an office in a stolen automobile; bandits knocked down women in a grocery, where they were committing a robbery, and burglars operated in various parts of the city. Clyde Towle of Portland, who has been staying at tbe Roosevelt Hotel in this city, was halted last night in Senate avenue near Market street by two negro hold-up men. He failed to raise hi* hands soon enough and one of the negroes fired one shot. The bullet struck a watch in Towle’s pocket The negre )g fled after the shooting. The bullet -which later was found in Towle’s pocket, only bruised the victim. A police officer heard tbe shooting, but tbe bandits escaped before he reached the scene. RUNS AND THUGS BEGIN SHOOTING. Isaac Collier, 608 North Capitol avenue, was stopped by two negro hold-up men at North and Muskingum streets. The negroes were hiding behind trees, and when they stopped in front of Collier he stopped Just an Instant and then turned and ran. The thugs fired at him and a bullet hit him In the left forearm. The men failed to obtain any money. Robert Harper, negro, 710 North West street, was called to the door of bis home by two negroes who demanded money. He refused and one of the negroes cut him across the face with a knife. Then they fled. The safe which was carried away was obtained at the salesrooms of the Houppert Strack Company, 957 North Meridian street, and was taken In an automobile stolen from the salesroom of the W. H.

EAST CHICAGO TIGER KEEPERS TELL OF GRAFT (Continued From Page One.) Indiana State Farm. This case is now in the Supreme Court on appeal. The witness caused a big laugh in the court when Samuel M. Ralston, attorney for the defendants, asked him if he had running water in bis place of business. Stipanovich hesitated a few seconds and then answered: “Well, when I turn him on then he runs.” WITNESS SAYS DOWNEY THREATENED HIM. Vujnovich testified that Captain Downey called him a vile name and said: "If you don’t come across with the money I’ll kill you,” when Vujnovich refused to make farther payments of protection money. This' testimony was corroborated by his daughter, Mrs. Slarian Matlevicb. In explaining bow he got into the “blind tiger’ business Vujnovich said that he saw everybody else selling whisky and thought be might as well do it himself. He said that he paid Downey about SSOO at the rate of SIOO a month and then quit when he found he was not making any money. His daughter, Mrs. Matievich, said that on several occasions she had seen her father pay money to Captain Downey, usually about the first of each month. Nick Popovich, another blind tiger operator, said that there were between seventy and eighty places selling liquor in Indiana Harbor in 1920. For two months he said he paid O’Donnell SSO a month and then O’Donnell came to him and told him he would have to pay SIOO a month. EXPLAINS BOOST IN ASSESSMENTS. “I get, only 15 per cent, the rest goes to someone else,” the witness said O’Donnell stated in expllaning why the increase in the assessment was nacessary. The Government made a strong effort to find out if O’Donnell had mentioned the names of the persons who got the bulk of the money but tbe witness could not recall that he had done this. He said that O’Donnell promised him that if he would “take care” of him if Federal agents came to town, and that on one occasion he received a telephone tip of a raid that occurred a little later. He was unable to say who did the telephoning. CORRESPONDENT UNWILLING WITNESS. Mrs. Catherine Howard, a newspaper correspondent at East Chicago, seemed to be an unwilling witness for the Government and apparently there had been some negotiations between herself and Chief O’Donnell within the past two weeks, the exact nature of which the Government was unablo to bring out because of objections by the defense. Mrs. Howard had testified that on election day, 1920, she had seen a number of persons drunk on the streets of East Chicago and then Floyd J. Matllce, assistant district attorney, apparently tried to bring out that O’Donnell has tried to prevent Mrs. Howard from making public the results of her observations or investigations. She denied talking to him, but finally admitted that a detective had come to her saying he had a message from O'Donnell. She did not state tbe character of thts message. Mrs. Howard's physician. Dr. Helmut Ernst, was the last witness before the noon adjournment. He said that last week O'Donell sent for him and told him that unless he saw Mrs. Howard and got her to drop certain charges against him that be would bring proceedings against the witness and Mrs. Howard. Beyond the mention of an illegal operation and that O'Donnell said Mrs. Howard was Interfering with the East Chicago police department no details were brought out. The defendants took the stand in their own behalf this afternoon. The case probably will go to the jury late this afternoon.

UNITED STATES ENTERSLEAGUE BY BACK DOOR New Pacific Treaty Must Get Sanction of Principal Members. By J. BART CAMPBELL. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The new Pacific treaty must receive the sanction of the League of Nations before it can become ffctlv or binding upon Grat Britain, France and Japan, the principal league members and, therefore, “it takes the United States through the back door of th leagu,” which is agreeable to the Democratic Senators who still reflect the lageu views of former President Wilson. Senators Robinson of Arkansas, Overman of North Calolina and others joined in this statement of Democratic attitude this afternoon.

HOPE TO END ARMS PARLEY BY NEW YEARS (Continued From Page One.) nibble any more at the Chinese sovereignty and to respect the open door policy of John Hay. The Siberian question, it is believed, can be disposed of in much the same way—through the adoption by the principal powers concerned of a set of governing principles, the purport of which will be that they shall not take advantage of existing conditions quietly to appropriate Russian territory. The question of naval auxiliary ships is one the powers believe will be adjusted speedily after the capital ship ratio had been passed upon finally. As matters now stand, it appears probable that every one is in a fair way to be satisfied with the work of the conference with the exception of China. It is significant that officials have taken pains to point out in recent days that “the Chinese expect too much.” Through the adoption of the Root proposals, the eight powers having interests In. China have pledged themselves to respect Chinese sovereignty, observe the open door, guarantee Chinese neutrality In future wars, approve the removal from Chinese territory of some foreign infringements upon China's administrative autonomy, and, in effect “promise to do beter all around.” The Chinese, however, frankly are disappointed.
