Gang Takes To The Tall Timbers Now Newspaper Story Bobs Police of Arrest of Clever Clothing Thieves. A result of a sensationally -writ-tan Story which appeared oa the front pSe f another Aary piper yesterday dicolBkS the operation of a bold gang of clever store thieves. It Is probable lht the ga.ng haa left for the tall tfrubers and efforts on th part of the police to round up the gang: frUl be In vain. Durltiff the paat two months the gngr has hrolieti Into four Broadway stores and their hauls have netted them some SlO.fl&O worth of suits, overcoats, silk ahlrts and other valuable Tnerohajjdlso. Entrance would be gained by a rear entranoe while an officer vu busily engaged calling the station or taklny oare of some other duty a.wajr from the ocene of the robbery. Trucks were used to cart off the stolen merchandise. Late yesterday morninar the thieves made another rich haul when they backed a truck up to the rear door of the Rapaica Clothing Co. at 120i Broadway and made their getaway with ovr 8,00O worth of Bilk shirts, suits and clothing. It occurred while the officer on that eat was soing to the station to chang-e shifts, it is understood. Newspaper men htjvo known of the operation of tiie gang- of thieves for weeks and at the request of Chief Torbls. they held off on the story.

Yesterday one of them broke faith, exploding the yarn and permitting- the thieves' to acquaint themselves that the police were making every effort to cauae their arrest.

In a protracted session which lasted until late into the night the Kail Chicago city council last niiftu disposal of tncnty-flvfl ordinances which were submitted and then adjourned until .n Wednesday. Aug. 2oth, at which tinio they will take action upon ten oilier.--which were intended for submission at last night's meeting. Among the ten Is an ordinance for an increase in salary of the councilmen and there are others which provide fVr an increase to the maximum salary for all city officials. The ordinance which was submitted at the last meeting providing for a change in the collection of trerbugo was passed by unanimous vote. Under this new ordinance it will now be necessary for all commercial establlsnments to dispose of their own garoape or if they prefer the city will collect the garbage, but charge the expense to the individual. Under thts method it la believed that the cost of collecting garbage and disposing of the same will be much reduced. A parking and traffic ordinance which it is believed will reduce the number of accidents in the city was passed to second reading. The ordinance oalls for a full stop of all vehicles before crossing or passing on to Michigan. Chicago and Forsyth avenues

I and Cedar streets and any other streets

which may hereafater be designated as boulevards. Barking must be only on the right hand side of the street within a foot of the curb and not with in fifteen feet of any street or alley intersection, not within ten feet of fire hydrants and not within fifty feet of any street intersection at which street cars receive or discharge passengers. In Indiana Harbor no parking will be allowed on the north side rf Michigan avenue from the Pennsylvania tiacks to Fir street, on the south side of Michigan from Guthrie to Fir and on Guthrie from Michigan south to the alley. An ordinance establishing the rates cf wharfage, establishing the office cf harbor master, outlining his duties an powers, regulating navigation ana in every particular regulating the use of the harbor met with approval of the councilmen but was parsed to second reading In order to allow each councilman to become thoroughly acquainted with the numerous provisions cf the ordinance before taking final action. Numerous appropriations were made including SI. 5000 for the department of health. $1C" fo rspeeial Judge, Jl -500 for repair of pile clumps at the Canal etreet and Dickey Place bndg-es. $2,000 for Interest on public debt, 14 -974.54 for payment cf intersection certificates, for city barn maintenance. $17,000 for street and alley pay roll, $916 60 for Board of Public Works pay roll. $4 "00 for sewer pay roll, $1.000 for stone. $200 for law department office expense. $500 fr street maintenance, $444.50 for payment for plans and specifications for fire station. They rejected a $l.o0' appropriation for band concerts, refused increases in salary to the stenographers of the city clerk and controller and delayed action on a few others. ! A committee of three was appointed to co-operate with the Lake County Central Trade Union in a parade and

picnic at the Lake Front Park on Labor Day.

By G. F. MILTON" STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Aug. 17. Sufff rnre h. pes are high for ratification of th.' nineteenth amendment by the Ten-t---!-ee housp Qf representatives today. V. hen the house, meets this morning tht- onmnttee on constitutional amendments will submit a favorable report on i iitiflrat ion. This will force the mi tin to nvve the adoption of a minority report. Upon the motion to table this the !ir.t tost vote will come. FULL ATTENDANCE EXPECTED ,n almost complete attendance of members Is assured. Monday afternoon r met -citht of the ninety-nine were on Land, an unpreredrnted number for a Monday. Both sides left no stone unturned to have their full strength on hand. t-is' right fuffrag forces in the house won the last preliminary right before the vote on ratification. A favorable majority report on the ratification resolution will be presented the house today when it convenes by the constitutional amendment committee. REVERSAL AT MEETINO At a meeting last night it reversed its ttand of last Thursday night and by li t 8 ordered a favorable report. The comn it tee meeting was a hot one and the fight almost came at its close when anti-members attempted to drag two rat lib ation recruits away before they had signed the report. They were unable to do this, but their attempt may bring a heated protest on the floor of the houie today. Thursday night Speaker Seth TValker who had that day appointed an anti on the committee, himself attended the meeting as ex-efficio he is a member of every committee. BICt ANTX-f ICTORY Accordingly the committee by 8 to fi. voted to defer action until last evening. This was the big anti-victory, as delay was what they sought. Last mpht suffrage forces had every member of the committee on hand. Two of the members, who had previously been doubtful, had earnest talks with ij.iv. Roberts immediately before Wie r.mmittee met. Thse two men. with eight otheis. voted for a favorable report. The anti were indignant at their opponents victory, and immediatlv retired to secret conference.
