SMASH A JEWELliY WINDOW Thieves Make a Raid on the Btore of Herman Leffert on Broadway, OFFICERS GIVE CHASE IMMEDIATELY Robbers Are So Hard Pressed They Throw Away Thelir Plunder, but Finally Manage to Eve: Parsuers, Thieves broke in the east panel of the west front window of Herman Leffert’s Jewelry store at 409 West Broadway shortly after midnight Saturday and se- cured about $500 worth of watches, brooches and other jewelry. Most of the stolen Jewelry, however, was recovered yesterday morning, the thieves having thrown it away In their flight when pursued by the officers. Owing to the lataness 6f the hour and the cold weather but few people were on the treet at that time of night, but the crash of the breaking glass attracted the atten- tion of two men on the opposite side of the street, and they notified the police. Offi- cers Rue and Lorenzen were bastily sent to the scene and they arrived in time to seo two men turn the corner of Broadway onto Fourth atreet by the Boston store, and run south on Fourth street. The officers at once gave chase and on reaching the cor- ner called to the men to halt. One stopped, while the other continued his flight. The fellow who halted did se for the purpose of taking a shot at the officers, but his alm was poor. After firing the shot, which was returned by Oficer Lorenzen, the fellow turned west into the alley. Officer Rue followed just in time to see the man turn south down the alley between Main and Fourth streets and get a shot at him, but his bullet went wide of the intended mark. The fellow then crossed a vacant lot inte Fourth street and continuing south was Boon lost in the darkness. The officers falled to get sight of the second man, but pedestraine who had been attracted by the shooting stated they had seen a man run- ning north on Broadway. It is supposed he ran west through the alley and out onto Pearl strect and then doubled back on Broadway. Recover Stolen Goods. A dlamond brooch, valued at $165, was picked up at the corner of Main street and Broadway by Eugene Snodgrass, a Western Unlon messenger boy, about two hours after the robbery. With the exception of four men's watches and a few brooches the re- mainder of the jewelry stolen was found yesterday morning in the alley between Hattenhauer's carriage factory and the bluft on the north side on Fourth street. It was discovered by three young lads, Allen Nie- man, Ben Ewing and Joe Blesit, who were assisting Detective Callaghan in the search. In all four watches, twelve watchcase five scartpins, several pairs of cuff buttons, watchfobs and brooches were found at this place. Ten brooches were found at.the cor- ner of Broadway and Fourth street. A new mproved Colt's revolver, 41-caliber, with six cartridges, one of which had been dis- charged, was found in a small shed at the rear of Hattenhauer's factory. Alongside of the revolver were about a dozen cart- ridges It is supposed that the man whom the officers chased down the alley was carry- 1ng the greater part of the plunder and that being hard pressed he decided o get rid of 1t and the revolver. The police believe that the fellow after getting onto Fourth street through the vacant lot made a bee line for the old carriage factory, which s unoc- cupled, and after throwing away the jewelry and hiding his revolver, as he evi- dently thought, in the shed, made his es- cape by climbing the bank at the rear, and thus made his way to BIuff street. The window was smashed with a heavy block of wood, which was found afterward in the gutter in front of the store. The police are inclined to the opinion that the robbers were amatours at the business, otherwise they would not have thrown away the plunder as they did. N. Y. Plumbing Co., Tercphone 526. Preparing Library Ord: ce. Owing to the repairs at the library mot being completed the regular meeting of the Mbrary board this afternoon will be held in the office of the president, M. F. Rohrer. The most important matter to come before the board will be the ordinance which is now being drafted, pledging the city to pro- vide annually at least $5,000 for the support of the library so as to secure the donation of $50,000 for a bullding from Andrew Car- negle. This ordinance will be submitted to the city council at its meeting tonight, when it undoubtedly will be passed by the unanimous vote of the aldermen. President Rohrer of the library board is anxious that the busine men who are prominent in the movement for the organi- zation of a commercial club, and In fact all citizens interested in the welfare and prog- ress of the city, attend the meeting of the ity council tonight and thus by thelr presence ratify the action of the aldermen. The library board already received a number of offers of sites for the proposed | Ibrary bullding, and it is probable that this matter will be discussed at the meeting of the board this afterngon. The general opin- fon 1s that the building should be located near Baylies park as possible. Any site faclng tho park itself is generally favored. With the $10,000 levy the board will, it is expected, not experience any difficulty In securing a suitable site. Another Heat Steve Free.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia., Jan. 11.—(Spe- cial )~Word trom Eldora late this evening etates that the condition of Mrs. J. H. Poley, who was shot by her husband last night, and who then killed himself, s much worse and the doctors believe she will die. A second and more t}-rough examination shows fhe woman was shot in the upper part of the arm and that the bullet entered ‘her left side, passing entirely through her body and lodging in the ribs. The doctors fear that the stomach or intestines were plerced, as the patient has had severe hemorrhages of the stomach. Particulars of the tragedy indicate that the shooting was the result of domestic trouble over money affairs. J. H. Poley was married to Mrs. Saloma Ellsworth about two years ago. For awhile they lived hap- pily together and then discord arose over family affairs and money matters. Things went from bad to worse and about two woeks ago the couple agreed to separate Mrs. Poley flled a petition for a divorce. It is believed Poley's mind be- came affected by his troubles and he de- clded to end it all by killing both his wite and himself. Poley had & good reputation in this com- munity, but w known to be very closo about money matters. It s also known that he refused to allow his wife to keep her mother and blind brother at his house and even refused to allow the blind brother | to visit at thelr home, and these matters widened the breach between them. GREEK WORDS ARE TOO TOUGH n gl Student Becomes Vie- e from Overstudy fekn SIOUX CITY, Ia., Jan. 11.—(Special Tel- egram.)—The tough quality of Greek words, coupled with lonesomeness for & sweetheart hom be is sald to have at his home near Ute, caused Martin Ulven, a Morningside college student, to become violently insane.

Blasdel was pitted against him and in the first round broke his jaw. He, however, continued to fight until the fifth round, when a first classman present stopped the contest. It is reported that a first classman was referee and that seconds were chosen by the men from Blasdel has been placed under arrest and others connected with the affair will prob- ably be arrested also by the academy au- thorities, who are determined to punish the guilty parties.

ELLIS ISLAND IS IMPROVING Sargent Says President's Action Rapldly Removing Reproach on Immigration Station. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11.—Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of immigration, to- night delivered an address to the Jewlsh Chautauqua soclety on “Immigration and the Future of Our Country.” Simon Wolf of Washington, president of the Union of Hebrew Congregations, presided. Mr. Sargent said in par The large number of persons who seek | & home in this country makes it inevitable | that at times a few cases of injustice will arise, It 18 the purpose of the bureau of immigration to deal fairly with every case that is presented.

Teller is puzsling even to the most acute political minds. Mr. Wolgott and bis triends fnsist that action to unseat ceftaln demo- cratic members of the house because of al- leged fraud in the ballot and returns be taken before balloting )& begun on the senatorship. He charges his republican op- ponents with deliberdte’ delay in this mat- ter because of a deal with the democrata. In a statement {ssued by Mr. Wolcott to- night he says Gross frauds, dence 1 indisputable, uneeating of sevent democrats in the h Kvery friend of mine, including the seven- members who asked for a caucus, is anxious to have a speedy vote on unseat- ing these fraidulently elected democrats, but there s grave danger that no action be taken until after the 20th, when voting on the senatorship commences. 1f the legislature is made republican on joint ballot before a senator is elected, all that T or my friends ask is that he shall be chosen in free and fair conference or caucus by the republican members. The anti-Wolcott republicans have main- tained all along that no deal between the democrats and the anti-Wolcott forces has been made, and that they will never vote for a democrat for United §tates semator. Among the several candidates of the anti- Wolcott people, Frank C. Goudy of Denver has probably the largest following. Some say the split in the republican party will result in Mr. Teller's réturn to the senate and should the contested seats in the house be given to.the democrats tbere is little doubt that he will be thosen, as he was endorsed by the demoeratic state conven- tion and by nearly - all the county conven- tions. However, former Governor Alva Ad- ams of Pueblo looms Up &8 a possibility. The following telegram has been received by William Stapleton, editor of the Denver Republican. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—We, in_ com- mon with all the friends of the republican party here, deplore the conditions now ex- isting in the leglslature of your state. Anything that will destroy the prospects of electing a_republican is deprecated to the utmost degree. If a remedy can be found, we most earnestly appeal to those republicans controlling "the situation to make the effort, considering above all else the interest’ of the party. (Signed) M. A, HANNA.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 1l Everything is in readinese for the opening session of the fifth general assembly, which conyenes tomorrow. The session will be a formal one and Governor Wellse' message will not be read till Tuesday. Nothing definite has been given out by republican leaders as to the time for hold- ing the senatorial caucus, which will choose a successor to Senator Rawlins, though James H. Anderson, chairman of the re- publican state committeo, said he thought it would be on Wednesday. It is generally conceded that Apostle Reed Smoot will have no difficulty in securing the nomina- tion.

T1.—A republican successor to Senator George Turner will be elected by the legislature which convenes tomorrow. The leading candidates are Levi Ankeny, the millionaire banker of Walla Walla; Harold Preston, a well known law- yer of Seattle, and ex-United States Sen- ator John L. Wilson. Probably the most important piece of leg- tslation to come up at this session will be a bill to provide for a railroad commission to be appointed by the governor. Governor McBride championed the railroad commis- sion bill on the stump during his recent campaign and has announced that he will endeavor to have it passed by the legisla- ture. Preston, in his campalgn for the sen- atorship, also championed the raflroad com- mission bill and consequently has the hearty support of Governor McBride. Shortly after midnight this morning a combination of the anti-commission mem- bers was affected which insures the election of Dr. W. H. Hare for speaker of the house. The antl-commission people are also sup- posed to have control of the senate, Idahoe Democrats BOISE, Ida., Jan, 11.—At & joint caucus of the democratic members of the legisla- ture last night James H.

INDIANS IN AN ILL- HUMOR Irritation Between Sheshones and Arapahoos TInoreased by Recent Events. INDICATIONS OF TROUBLE IN FUTURE Arrest of Arapahoes by Shoshome Police Angers the Former—United States Marshal Has Close Call. OHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 11.—(Special.)— A letter received today from Lander states that everything is quiet at the Indian agency near there. There is bound to be factional trouble between the Shoshones and Arapahoes, sooner or later, however, The recent arrest of James Tosiah, an Arapahoe, and the action of the Shoshone Indian police in assisting Deputy United States Marshal Joe La Fors has left the young men of the Arapahoe tribe dn no pleasant frame of mind. It develops that La Fors, although a brave officer and capable of handling a dozen Indlans, had & narrow escape from death when he was making his way to the agency in a buggy with Tosiah. A number of Toslab's companions gave chase. Only one man was armed, and he was stopped while his horse was at full gallop by Acting Agent Frank 8. Smith and disarmed. The Indians were n an ugly mood aud but for the prompt action of Agent Smith, La Fors might have been stoned to death. He could probably have killed a number of the Indians, but there were so many that they would have reached him. The drunken Indian policeman with whom Acting Agent Smith had a fight last Wednesday, and whom Dick Washakle, chief of police, struck on the head with a six-shooter, is the son of a man who was killed by old Chiet Washakie years ago over a squaw, and as a result of Chief of Police Dick Washakie's action the feeling between the two factions is naturally intensified. ST. LOUIS RAILROADS BOOM Eighty-Five Million Dollars is to Be Expended Before Fair Opens. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 11.—The rallways in St. Louls have set aside $55,000,000 to be ex- pended for improvements in this City. Many of the extensions are already under way and the great bulk of the money will be paid out before the opening of the World's fair. The fact that seven states in the south- west, all of them strictly in St. Louls' business territory, built 2,600 of the 5,600 miles constructed in the whole country last year, and that comstruction in this section this year will be still larger, ex- plains the true reason for the terminal ex- tenslons. Among the notable improvements are the buflding of the subway and extension of the Union station, the proposed con- struction of & mall depot at the station and the widening of the rights-of-way along the levee. For the latter condemnation suits have been instituted, invelvjng about ten city blocks. The Terminal association will also com- plete and extend a belt line around the city, and is adding to its yard facilities in every quarter of St. Louls. The improvements at the Union station alone mean that six trains may be run in where only one is handled now, and with the new loops it will be possible to handle sixty passenger trains an hour, one every minute. Facilities for the handling of treight are being Increased In the same ratio of four to one The new Terminal Depot company pro- poses to expend fully $15,000,000 in bullding & third bridge at Mullanphy street, estab- lishing terminals along the river front and in Improvements second into his breast. Dr. C. E. Barnes dressed the wounds and at this time ne serious results are antlcipated. in bullding an elevated road to Forest park if the municipal assembly grants & fran. chise. It is stated that the third bridge and the terminal facllities may be constructed in- dependently of the proposed elevated road.
