—s WOMEN HEL ~ UP AND ROBBED BY FOUTPADS One hosts te ike Her Assailant Cou- rageously in Busy Street and. Saves Her Diamonds, but Is Severely Choked and Beaten | in the Struggle. SCREAMS AND CROWDS, BUT NOT A POLICEMAN. No Negro Highwayman Gets a Woman’s Purse Near the Park and Then Flees, Pur- sued by Big Crowd—He Runs Into Policeman’s Arms. ‘Two policemen will be called upon to explain to-day where they were while women were being held up by highway- men on their posts, drawing crowds by their screams but no policeman to arrest thelr assaliants. Deputy Commisstoner Piper, of Brook- lyn, has a particularly flagrant case to investigate. Mrs. Margaret F. Strauss, wife of Baldwin F. Strauss, a lawyer, was attacked in front of her sister's home, at Nd. 681 Halsey street, Brook- lyn. The neighborhood is thickly popu- lated and trolley cars pass up and down the street at frequent Intervals. Mrs. Strauss is @ tall and attractive woman and wears valuable Jewels and always carries considerble money. She was returning from Manhattan and had @lighted from a Halsey street car to walk to her sister's home when she noticed a man dart across the atreet, ®he quickened her pace. The man did Ukewise, Just in front of her sisters home he came abreast of her and threw his arms about her, pinioning her against @n {fon fence. Mrs. Strauss screamed loudly, The highwayman clutched hor throat, throwing her head backward to stop her outcry, meanwhile selzing her @old chatelaine bag, which contained her purse, She Fought Desperately, Mrs. Strauss is a powerful woman ‘nd she tore the man's hand trom her throat. He selzed her again and tricd to grab the diamonds from her ears and throat, but she struggled successfully @gainst him, screaming all the time at the top of her voice, Nelghbora heard her cries and men ren out to her assistance, The high- wayman, seeing his danget, scampered eff, Though Mrs. Strauss's outcry @roused the neighborhood for Blocks, no policeman put in an appearance. Mra. Strauss was taken into the home of ner sister, Mrs. K. Burns, and put to bed. Mrs. Burns said to-day: “My sister ts too {ll to be seen, She is suffering from shock and her body {s black and blue and her throat severely bruised. Bhe screamed loud enough to be heard for blocks, but tt seems there was no policeman in the neighborhood. No po- Uce have been here since to investigate the robbery.” ‘The second woman victim of a high- wayman was Mrs. Nathan Kahn, of No. 105 East Ninety-second street. She was returning from visiting a sick daughter, and as she reached the in- tersection of Park avenue and Ninety- fitth street a young negro sprang out, grabbed her by fthe throat with one band and with the other selzed her purse and darted off. Mrs. Kahn's screams caused a crowd to gather in- aide of a minute. No Policeman on Hand. ‘The negro ran up Park avenue, a grow- ing crowd at his heels, When he reached Ninety-eighth street the crowd of yell- ing pursuers behind him numbered all 6030, Gut the commotion did not seem to bring a policeman to the ecene. See- ing that the crowd was gaining on him, the negro stopped and made a ruse of drawing a revolver. The crowd fell back and the negro sped on. The chase was e@gain taken up. At Madison aveune and Ninety-elghth street the negro ran “into Policeman Galligan's arms. The negro showed ight, but quieted down when the police- man threatened to draw his revolver, ‘He walked a fow steps with the police- (man and then drew an improvised slung- shot, consisting of a rqck tled in a handkerchief, and struck tho policeman. The blow did no harm, and Galligan Deat his prisoner into subjection. He was walked back to where Mra. Kahn had been standing stupefied after the attack, She positively identified him and he was locked up in the Hast Eighty-elghth street station, He gave his name as William Conover, of No, 14 North Third street, Mount Vernon. The police say Mrs, Kahn's purse was found on him wher searched, Capt. Miles O'Rellty, of the Ralph ave- Bue station, Brookiy, comes to the de- fense of one of his patrolmen, who did not hear the screams of Mrs. Strauss. He says the patrolman, Fritz, was in mo way to blame, as he has to cover veat of two ang a half miles, and the time pf the assault and rol bery Fries vras at the other end of his post. Ir anybody was to blame, urges ‘the captain, it 1s the city, which does not give him enough policemen to cover one-fifth of his precinct. THE WORLD: MRS. MARGARET F. STRAUSS, WHO ' WAS HELD UP BY A HIGHWAYMAN. LDA Bip Bites The Evening World summer campaign for the babies in the tenements has be- gun, the fifteenth year of the Sick Ba- dies’ Fund work. This unique charity has done an immense amount of direct good in alleviating the sufferings of children and in awaking the interest of philanthropists and the city’s medical officers In the little ones. A number of reforms have been brought about by the Sick Babies’ Fund, but its work will never be ended so long as there @re tenements and babies. performed by the physiciang, employed by the Fund. Newly made Mothers do not understand the proper cere of thelr Uttle ones and how to avoid ills by simple means. One of the reat causes of dis- ease has been found to be unsanitary hot- tles used in feeding babies. There are certain types of bottles which have been condemned by Boards of Health in vari- ous cities and others permitted to be sold that can only be kept clean by the exercise of great care, ‘The Evening World Sick Bables' Fund corps of physicians has fixed upon one type of bottle which ts sanitary, in that it is easily kept clean, and a large sup- ply of these bottles has been purchased by The Evening World for free distri- bution. The bottles are duck shape and have no angles where milk or dirt may lodge and defy removal. As the perfect cleansing of feeding bottles Is essential to the preservation of the bables’ health this bottle, which {s made by many ‘manufacturers of bottles and is not pa- tented, Is regarded as the best obtain- able. Any mother can obtain one of these bottles and two pure gum, reversible, anti-colic nipples FREE by applying to the office of the Sick Bables’ Fund, in. the Pulitzer Building, Or to any of the branch offices of The World. ‘The loca- tions of <he branch offices are as fol- lows: No. 1381 Broadway, between Thirty- seventh and Thirty-eighth street: 21 West One Hundred and Twenty-fitth street; No. 292 Washington street, and No. 317 Fulton street, Brooklyn. Any physician may obtain bottles and nipples for patients by sending a card to the office of the Sick Bables' Fund,, in the Pulitzer Building. ‘A corps of physiclans {s employed to care for the siok babies in the tene- ments, They will go wherever they are notified their services are needed. | Send a postal to ar call at the office of ‘The Evening World Sick #abtes’ tung, Contributions to the fund hay recetved as follows: R EVENING WORLD CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE BABIES OPENS ee Nursing Bottles Approved by the Corps of Physicians to Be Distributed Free—Contributions from Friends of the Cause.
