BIG .GEM ROBBERY

Window Smashing in Chi cago Like Bastar & McGarry Robbery. An echo of the famous Bastar & McGarry diamond robbery in Hammond, was heard in Chicago today when plate-glass burglars who have operated in the downtown district for the last year and have robbed nearly every State street jewelry store, broke a huge window in the jewlery store of C. D. Peacock, State and Adams streets at 3 a. m. today ami escaped und, r lire with a tray containing valuables amounting to 1,000. The same robbers, it is thought, previously smashed a window in the cigar store of John J. Uolan, 2 Madison street, where ti,Pv secured pipes, cigars and miscellaneous articles valued at $2)0. Thy were frightened away by the shouts of a watchman. Fired On by Pol Ice Officer. The thieves were fined on by Policeman Joseph T. Snyder, who saw them fleeing from the jewelry store, but they had a start of a block and eluded their pursuers by dodging down an alloy. In his report to Captain Gibbons at the central detail Policeman Snyder said he had to rap for two minutas to arouse the two watchman who rae supposed to guard the jewelry store when he returned from his futile chase. Reserve policemen of the central detail and detectives from Acting Captain Cudmore's office searched the downtown district for the thieves, but without success. LOOK FORJHOUSEWIFE Baldheads Reading Uncle Sam's Army Posters Make Inquiry. James Brennan, recruiting officer for the X'nited States army, 91 57 Commercial avenue, this morning displayed one j of the neatest and most attractive j army signs that lias hen seen in South j Chicago for some' time, and it is provj ing quite an inducement to get prospective soldiers to inquire about armv I life. j The sign begins by telling what the i government furnished its new men. ; such as uniforms, canteens, shoes, etc., and ends by saying that every new man will be furnished with a housewife. The last word, "Housewife," Is , more prominently displayed than the ! others and more than one "bald head" i has gone inside to get the right dope on the housewife part of the outfit. The "housewife" is a pouch of khaki cloth which contains needles, pins, buttons, razor and .razor strop. shoe brushes and blacking, and other necessary articles for a single man. The pouch and its contents were first introduced to the army by Helen Gould several years asro and durinur the inf j year has been dubbed the "housewife." SOLVE WM PROBLEM Gary Town Board Thrashes Out Question But Can Not Settle It. The Gary town board at its regular session yesterday afternoon was confronted with a perplexing question relative to a ten foot strip of land on both sides of Madison street for its entire length. Xo definite conclusion having been reached, the board will hold a special meeting next Monday morning, at which time the question will be thrashed out. The question deals with paying for the Improvement of the street. Both L. A. Bryan, the city treasurer, and the city claim to own this strln. The iticlaiming to have bought it from Bryan when it condemned the street, and Kiyan claiming that he never sold the strip and that the plat will show this. The steel company, too, put in a word, since Its proper adjoins that of the strip, and it all depends on who owns the strip and the steel company will either have to pay or not. If Bryan owns the strip he will, of course, have to pay, if the city owns the strip then the steel company will have to pay for the improvement. lndfr for Street Cars. An ordinance was passed at yesterday's session compelling the Gary & It.terurban to put fenders on Its street cars. Heretofore the company has been operating without this kind of protection because there was nothing in the city ordinances to compel it to have fenders. Owing to the objection raised by the property owners along Nineteenth street for improvement on this thoroughfare the board rescinded its action toward the improvement. Unless there Is a new movement brought forward the street will not be paved for an Indefinite time. HEGEWISCH-BURNHAM Mrs. A. C. Klucker was a Chicago shopper today. Mrs. Groves will leave this evening for Marion, Ind., where she expects to visit a few weeks. Mrs. C. W. Neel and son left Saturday for Tennessee, where they will visit for a short time. J. Tuhlln was a Hammond caller yesterday. Miss Minnla Patton called Myrtle Alexander Sunday. on Miss - . o. v-iiiuago visitor I yesterday. Miss Mamie Burnham was in Hammond yesterday.

5 A Bloodless Execution t 2 PfVVVTTf TTVVvTVVVT TVTTVf5 Original. Two friends were discussing the possibility of killiny a perfectly well man without doing him the slightest bodily harm; without frightening him to death or by tempting him to dissipation. One claimed that death could not be brought about except by some overt act to produce bodily injury. "A man cnu be killed," the other contended, "simply by going through the form of an execution." "That would be by shock." "Not at all. He shall know beforehand that he is not to suffer the slight est itouily harm. ' To illustrate the last speaker toid'the following true story: Lang Ting Fung of San Francisco, washee-washee man, called Charlie Fung by his "Melican" acquaintances, was accused of revealing the secrets of the Ti Whang society, of which he was a member. Summoned before the society to answer to the charge, he was assigned counsel and duiy tried. Though ably defended, he was convicted of having revealed certain methods of the Snn Francisco Chinese underground railroad for smuggling Chinamen into the United States. Tho nnnishment was death, and the sentence was to be carried out immediately in the presence of the assembled members of the society. "Call the executioner," said the presiding officer in solemn tones that reverberated through the silent hall as if some one had struck a gong. A big Chinaman entered from another room, carrying one of those large sharp double edged swords with which culprits' heads are stricken off in China. Over his face he wore a wooden mask representing distorted features. The culprit was led Into the middle of the room and forced on to his knees. Another Chinaman, also on his knees before him, caught him by his pigtail and drew his head down so that the neck was laid bare to the ax. Then the smock was pulled over his shoulders. The executioner, taking the handle of his sword in both hands, threw himself into position, raised the weapon, swung it high over his head and brought it down. When within more than a hair's breadth from the neck it suddenly stopped. From that point it was slowly and carefully lowered till the edge rested on the culprit's neck. Then he held it that it might not cut the skin. Now, in China, whether from the freat power of these societies, from Ineffective law, or what not, the culprit's head would have been separated lrom the body. But in America different conditions exist. There are not only judges and juries who do not respect the decrees of Chinese secret societies, but John Chinaman has no pull with them. A headless murder would not only lead to the punishment of those instrumental in it, but would be prejudicial to the continued efforts of thousands of the cornier colorpd brethren in America who are washing hard night and day for a living. The executioner after holding the sword upon the culprit's neck for a few moments removed it and. resting its point on the floor beside him, turned to the judges and said: "The traitor is dead." The executed man arose to his feet and looked about him. No one Interfered with him, for he was dead. No one saw him, for he was dead. He said something to a man near him. The man made no reply. Why should he reply to a dead man? The members of the society were arising from their seats and leaving the hall. The decapitated man called to one who had been his b'osom friend, but without avail. Death separates the quick and the dead, be they friends or enemies. Charlie Fung followed the others out into the street. There he saw a poster proclaiming to Chinatown that he had been executed that evening. A policeman, seeing the notice, to him unintelligible, with Chinamen standing about ir, wondered what the yellow devils were up to now. Could be have read It he would doubtless have carried a dreadful story to police headquarters. The dead man wandered about like a ghost from the spirit world. No one saw him; no or.e spoke to him; no one gave him a smile or a frown. If he had had money, he might have returned to China, but would he have Tared any better there? Would not an agent of the society he had betrayed follow him and do really the work that had been done figuratively. No; Charlie was dead, and nothing could bring him to life. If Charlie was not really dead, ho was really dying-that is, he was getting into a condition where death would be preferable to life. The posters announcing his execution remained on the walls, and, go where he would In Chinatown, he saw them. They were the only mention of himself that he encountered. In all other respects he had passed into oblivion. He was thirsty, but no one would give him a drink. lie was hungry, but no one would give him bread or meat. At last Charlie could endure the strain no longer. He wandered off 1ntr the "Melican" district and procured a revolver, it was supposed he stole It. Going back among those who hnri boon his fellow Chinamen, he sat down under one of the posters notifying them that he had been executed, put the revolver to his head and effected in reality the execution that they had effected In form. Not only is It possible to kill a nersnn without doing any bodllv harm, hntdeath so inflicted may be made more cruel than any physical torture that has ever been Invented. HELEN INGLEHART.

Railroad t i: Courtship. By J. LUDLUM LEE. z Copyrighted. 13cS. by Associated Literarv Prm T I -jAlice Twitchell stood in the concourse of the Grand Central station bemoaning her fate. She had just missed the 3:43 for Greenwich. Something (or was it some one?) struck her violently in the back, and she swung round just as a young man dashed by to the closed gate. She was adjusting a shaken pun wnen me youtn returned full of npologies. "I beg your pardon, but I did want to 'catch that 3:45 train the worst way," he said as he mopped his brow. "So did I," replied Alice with emphasis, "but I did not think it necessary to employ personal violence as a means of catching it." Alice turned from the apologetic man, who stood regarding her with open admiration. The latter or something magnetic in his personality, added to the thought of the two hours she had to wait before the next train left for Greenwich, made her hesitate. "You deserve some form of punishment suited to your offense," she said, with charming assumed severity. "Oh, I say," continued the man, "I'm no professional slugger, yon know, just a plain, everyday lawyer running out of town for a holiday," and he produced his card in verification of the statement. "And maybe you'll be easier when I tell you that there was a girl on that train I've been trying to meet for two years." Alice read the name on the card, "Mr. Walter Witherspoon." Then she smiled. He followed her into the waiting room, and they sat down on the uncomfortable benches. Conversation of an impersonal but lnterestinz na- i ture made the wait remarkably short. Once settled in comfortable Pullman chairs they were like old traveling companions. "You see," Mr. Witherspoon was explalntng, "this girl I missed on the other train is a peach the prettiest girl ever except you." "Don't you thiuk we might have a window open, Mr. Witherspoon?" Alice interrupted. Witherspoon opened the window and turned the conversation into a less personal channel. "Where do you visit In Greenwich?" "Oh. me that is, I oh, I am going to visit my grandmother," answered Alice, with halting speech. "I bet she's a dear old lady," assured Witherspoon. "Now, this other girl that I was going to meet she had no relatives." Alice offered no interruptions this time, and he rattled on. "She's an orphan, no brothers, sisters, mother or grandmother nobody but herself. The Hardys are giving a celebration of their wedding anniversary, and they asked Miss Twitch ell and me. And, well, you know that all happy brides are matchmakers! But I'm Jolly glad I missed her, 'cause" "The next station is ours, I think," suggested Alice. "By Jove, so it is," agreed Witherspoon. "now time does fly in good company! Say, there's a chap, Billy Brewster, who's going to be there, and he gets all the girls under the spoil of his fascination. I thought if I could Just head him off with this other girlbut now" "Greenwich."' shrieked the conductor. It was quite dark when the two left the train, and Witherspoon bnda reluctant adieus to his companion. lie offered to find her carriage, but she declined this assistance. Then he asked if he might know her name. "Smith," said Alice, "just S-m-i-t-h, the old fashioned spelling, you know," and 6he was lost in the darkness and the crowd. Billy Brewster met Witherspoon with the trap, but seemed surprised to find him alone. "Where's Miss Twitchell, old chap? She didn't come up on the other train," said Brewster as they climbed in the trap. "Hanged if I know. Bill " Witherspoon. "And. for thit matter, I don't care. I met the most beautiful girl on the train, and I'm all ia. If it takes me a lifetime 1 11 find her again and marry her." "You ought to have lived In the twelfth century, Walter. They carried off the women by force in those days," encouraged Billy. Once insido the nardy country home the men were called to account. Where was Miss Twitchell? Mrs. Hardy expressed so much solicitude that V.illy Brewster offered to go back and look for her guest once more. Witherspoon turned to go to his room and change his clothes for the evening when the bell rang and Mrs. Hardy opened the door to admit the lost guest. Witherspoon caught her voice and stood glued to the stairs. "Oh, I'm hero all right." she said gayly. "Came up in a station trap I missed the 3:45 and had to wait for the 5:45. Now, do let me run up my room and get into a comfv 11: to rht frock, and then I'll tell vou all it." naif an hour later Witherspoon returned to the drawing room. His collar seemed a bit too small, for he kept pulling at it. Why did his vest keep riding up? ne pulled It down once, twice and then again. Perhaps he was nervous. He stood by an open window smoking a cigarette, trying to look perfectly calm, when the rustle of silken flounces made him change color. "Waiter, come here," called Mrs. Hardy. ! want you to know th

, dearest girl. Miss Twitchelf. Yoa'vi

4, Leard us talk about her so often." J And, as usual, the woman saved th3 day. "Mr. Witherspoon and I are old friends," said Alice as she took his hand and looked up into his eyes with a merry twinkle in her own. "But the person I want to meet is the invincible Mr. Billy Brewster, said to be world famed for his fascination." The guests at Mrs. Hardy's celebration, which lasted until Monday mornlag, promptly realized that two of the party were almost continually missing from the circle. When a bridge whist game was announced neither Mr. Witherspoon nor Miss Twitchell could be Induced to make up a table. When swimming was suggested la the morning Alice declared it a bore to get ready, and Witherspoon agreed that sitting on the porch was preferable to a dip in cold water. Try as he would. Blllr Tirpwctor could not secure a moment's conversation with Alice without seeing Witherspoon inconsiderately near and glowering at him. To be sure, they condescended to appear at meals with tho other guests, and at the dance Saturday night Witherspoon was decently attentive to his hostess. Monday morning arrived with unseemly haste, and who can say how it happened that the wagonette would hold only six of the eight guests returning to town? And who will explain how It happened that Witherspoon and Alice were the two selected to go In a hired trap? It struck Alice that the drive to the station was much longer than coming from It, despite the most agreeabla company by her side. Finally the old horse drew up alongside the platform, and Witherspoon helped her out. She looked in all directions for their fellow guests. "Why, where are the rest of our crowd?" she asked in amazement. "A-hem!" started Witherspoon. "It looks as if we had missed another train." "How can that be?" suggested Alice. "We started at the same time thov did. and now we will have to wait thirty minutes for the next train. How could it have happened?" she repeated. "Well, the fact is," confessed Witherspoon, "it didn't happen by accident. I paid the driver $2 to miss the train." Alice looked at him searchingly to see if she really heard him aright. "You see," continued Witherspoon. "I wasn't going to have Billy Brewster staring at us all the way in town, I wanted you all to myself. And I want to say something to you." "Not here in a railroad station!' cried Alice, with feminine premonition of what that something was. "Why not?" asked Walter recklessly. "We're all alone, and I want to tell you that I love you, and, oh, Alice, won't you say 'Yes?' " "Want the New York train?" yelled the station agent. "Yes, of course," replied Alice. Witherspoon beamed on her and grasped her hand. "Oh, sweetheart, if you knew what a happy man I am and do you really love me?" "I was speaking to the station agent when I said 'Yes,'" said Alice blnshingly. "But maybe the same answer will do for both. T Paganlnl.
