Mrs. Wilkes Awoke to Finda Burglar Stand- ing Over Her— Grappled with Him. INTRUDER BROKE AWAY. Desperate Lad Had a Busy Night of It Victimizing a Number of Whitestone Homes. Mrs, Robert Wilkes was awakened in her home at Whitestone, Long Island, at 3 o'clock this morning by a burglar who was standing over her. ‘Mrs. Wilkes did not scream. She did not even try to bury her head under the covers, and while Mr. Wilkes slept galmly’ on, she reached out and grabbed the burglar by the wrist. Yn the fight which followed Mr. Wilkes was awakened and then the marauder broke away and ran, But first he struck Mrs, Wilkes several severe blows. She Was not injured much, however. Before entering his room the man had gone into the room where the children were sleeping and he aroused them by the nolse he made. Then he went to Mrs, Wiikes's room. was just preparing for work when she awoke and saw him. She Was careful enough to take a good look at him go that ehe would know him ain, “ihe Wilkes home wag the thug’s last visit after a busy night. He first en- tered the house of John McNeill, an en- gineer, and secured from there'a gold Watch, @ $10 bill and considerable silver- ware. Then he visited the home of Eugene Miller, a mason, but took only @ few things there. Then there were the homes of nine other residents which were entered and robbed, But of these the police refuse to give any Information. The thieves made a clean haul of the town. By prying open a dining-room window the burglar got into the Wilkes home. He pulled the small safe from under the stairs and after vainiy laboring with that for a time, he packed up a quan- tity of silverware, unlatched the front door and left it open, handy for a quick exit, and went to the sleeping rooms on the third floor, As he rushed down the stairs with Mr. and Mrs. Wilkes after him awakened the rest of the household and soon the whole vicinity was in a ourglar hunt. Wiikes sald the burglar was a young man with a smooth face and that @ wore a dark cloth about his neck and had a black slouch hat pulled down over his face. He wore rubbers. The police believe that the burglar is @ young man who was recently Iiber- ated from prison and who has been hanging about the neighborhood. Some time ago the residents of Whitestone, whioh Is a part of Greater New York. Were attacked by burglars and it was largely through the efforts of Mr. Wilkes that sixteen. patrolmen were gent to Whitestone. They could not be found this morning. The robber or robbers must have had @ wagon In which to carry away the plunder. The loss altogether is estimated at $3,000. Most of this is in silyerware and Jewelry. s did not although the thiet verlook clothing, and most of the clt- ens who went’ to the police station were only half clothed, the robbers hav- img taken most of thelr wardrobes. ait was in this territory that Travis. the burglar-lawyer, operated, and the fact that his pal, *Red’ Watson, was not captured, hag led the police to look for BURGLARY IN VIEW OF HEADQUARTERS, Netting Ripped from Window of Drug Store and Cash and Cigars Taken—Police Try to Hush Up the Case, him, Thieves have discovered that their fears of the reform administration ; Police Headquarters apparently ai without ground, and from the burglaries reported from the vicinity of the head- quarters they have returned to thelr old stamping ground, Leinecker's drug store, at the t corner of Mott and Houston streets, across the street from Police Headquarters, was entered by burglars during ‘the night.

Will the sympathy of humanity come to the rescue of Margaret Stokes, the little Brooklyn girl who is left a helpless orphan by the dis- aster at Martir‘que? Burned and suf- fering, the little girl lies in the hos- pital at Fort de France, piteously crying “Mamma, mamma!” There is neither mother, brother, sister nor relative to comfort the child, who is now a charge on the world, Thousands of Evening World readers will ask themselves: “WHAT WILL BECOME OF THIS LITTLE CHILD?” They are invited to solve the question that is so pa- thetically interesting. Thousands of dollars have been sub- scribed for the relief of the sufferers at Martinique, but little of that great sum will be placed to the credit of the child in common with other victims of the dis- aster, It will euffice to give her but tem. porary rellef, Sufficient may be set aside even to pay for her transportation to this city, but after that what Is to be- come of the little orphan, left homeless, motherless by the dreadful volcano fire? She Lived in Brooklyn. Margaret Stokes formerly lived at No. 49 Twelfth street, Brooklyn, with her mother, brother and sister. Her father died a year ago of pneumonia. Little Margaret attended Publle School No. 170, her teacher being Miss Annle J. Cun- ningham, who from the firat was at- tracted to her pupil. Margaret was a aweet-tempered, gentle child, her teacher says, and was greatly given to her studies, in which she was always pro- ficient. At recess one day Margaret went to Miss Cunningham and told her that she was going with her mother, sister and brother to Barbados. There were pros- pects in the pretty West Indian island for her mother, Margaret explained, and added that they would start within a few days. That was the last the schol- ars in the school saw of Margaret. The trip to Barbados was taken, and at Mar- tinique little Margare: was orphaned. Among the eight survivors of the Mont Pelee disaster on the steamship Roralma was Margaret. She, with the other suf- ferers, was taken to the City Hospital at Fort de France, where she bravely told the nurses not to mind her “right now,” but to go and find her mamma and sister and brother, who had been passengers also on the Roralma, When her burns and injuries were Little Girl Now at Fort de France Whose Mother, Brother and Sister Were Killed by Eruption. CHILD VICTIM OF MONT PELEE NEEDS AID— WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? The little Brooklyn girl is alone in the world. Her widowed mother, a brother and a sister, all who were dear to her on earth, perished in the awful disaster at Martinique. Little Margaret had a miraculous escape from a horrible death. Burned and suffering, she is an inmate of the hos- pital at Fort de France. Where can she go and find a home and home comforts when she gets well enough to leave the hospital? She is alone in the world. Evening World readers are invited to give the subject some thought and communicate their ideas to the Editor of The Evening World.

Vatican Officials Discussing Possibility of St. Paul Arch- bishop Being Selected for New York Appointment. ROME, May 2.—The Vatican is dis- cussing the probability of the Archdi- ocese of New York sending in the name of Archbishop Ireland, of St. Pavi, Minn., with the names of Bishop Charles McDonnell, of Brooklyn, N. ¥., and Auxillary Bishop John M. Farley, of New York, as candidates from whom the Propaganda shall select a successor to the late Archbishop of New York. The bellef in this possibility is based on the Idea that the Catholics of the Archdiocese are ambitious to have a Cardinal as the Archbishop and that none of the American Archbishops or Bishops have such a good chance of obtaining the soarlet berretta as Arch- bishop Ireland. so VOTE FOR FARLEY FOR ARCHBISHOP, Corrigan, The result of the balloting by the twenty-two permanent rectors and diocesan consultons for ® successor to (ae late Archbishop Corrigan 4s officially announced as follows: Bishop John M. Farley, dignissimus, or most worthy. Bishop Charles E. McDonnell, Brooklyn, digntor, or more worthy, Vicar-General Joseph F.
