PURSE SHATCHER DOVE FIFTY F TOTHESIOENALK Sought Escape in a Crowded Tenement, but Policeman Was Too Close to Him. UPSET WOMAN AND FISH. Men Leaped Through an Open Window—Bones Broken, Skull Fractured. To rave himself from the arrest that was inevitable a well-dressed youth, who had been caught snatching purse! ived head first from a four-story win- dow in the Williamsburg foreign quar ter this afternoon. With many of h bones broken and his skull caved in he ie dying at St. Catharine's Hospital. A RP was walking Manhattan avenue swinging a leather handbag by a strap that slipped over her arm.

The well dresesd youth legged It at top speed, ducking under the arms of the merchants and pediars who barred his way. He went through McKibben street to Graham avenue and thence to Varet street while the crowd trailing behind him increased every second Catches Signt of Policeman. Half way up the Varet street block he caught the gleam of brass buttons. Policeman John Stack had doubled through Manhattan avenue to head the fugitive off. He was drawing his pis. tol from under the skirts of his uni- form coat. The jig was surely up for ‘Mr, Purse-Snatcher if he kept on the! way he was going. For a moment he hesitated. Then, Just a short jump ahead of the fleet- footed woman, whom he had beaten, the young chap spun about and dived fn the open entrance of a tenement- house. Up the stairs he shot bowling over the women and «hildren that rushed out of the hall doors at every landing. Stack bored his wy through the mob, which had halted irresolute at the street, and was after him, mounting four steps at a jump. In the kitchen of the rear flat on the top floor Mrs. Sarah Bernstein was cooking a late luncheon. Deeply en- grossed in the proper frying of a fish ghe had not heard the tumult below. The door flew open and in staggered the winded thief. He ws all in. Right be- hind him panted the blue-coated har- rier.

The Cow Ready, but Listle: All went well on the roof last night as Oscar Wonderstein sat chatting an\ smoking—or smoking and chatting— with Mary Garden's ma and pa. Near by, on the old farm, the patient cow waited to be milked by a simple country maid who had come to town for #0 per and @ mechanic's lien on the full milk- pail. ‘When the cow's time came she was ready, but truth compels me to state that she seemed to take little interest in her art. Something in her reproving eyes seemed to say that a 10.90 P. M. milking did not appeal to her. Her old Jersey home was never Itke this. And why were all those silly people staring at her? Had they never seen anything but condensed miik? She turned away her head more in sorrow than in anger. What a place! Don't the people ever go to bed?

A second payment of 2% |per cent. will be made in six weeks’ time, provided resumption has not be- gun.” The New Amsterdam National Bank was ene of the Charles W.

Over one thou- sand of the bank's depositors have made no attempt to prove their claims and are simply waiting for the institu- tion to reopen for business, The pay- ment of the first dividend put over $500,000 at the disposal of depositors who may need their money, HEARST CANS FEW VOTESAN RECOUNT Adds Only 2 to His Total in Thirteen Districts Re- canvassed.

Mrs, Maud Peterson, of No. 2 Fae Sixty-seventh street, tired of taking care of a fox terHer alx weeks ago and went to the New York Infant Asy- lum and got a real baby—two-year-old Martin Safford, blonde-haired and blue eyed. She contracted to care for him, feed him and raise him, for which she was to receive ten doars a month. Several days ago the Children's So- ciety learned that the baby was bein IN treated. An agent was sent to in vestigate and he found that Mrs. Peter- son had beaten the Mttle boy with @ strep. His back was a mass of welts and bruises. In the Yorkville Police Court to-day Mrs, Peterson told this story: “The boy was very bad. I whipped him with my hand, but it didn't do any good. The fox terrier was bad and I whipped him with a strap and he be- haved, so I thought I would try the strap on the baby and see !f it wouldn't make the baby behave.” After Magistrate Hermann bad fully recovered he said “T will hold you for trial in $500 bail.’ Mrs. Peterson was unable to get bail and went to a cell. GUGGENHEIM SES A MARKET ABROAD Financier Believes France Will Invest Largely in Our Securities. On his return from Europe to-day on the Cunard liner Mauretania, Benjamin Guggenheim, the financier, spoke en- couragingly of the conditions in Frace, as regards American securities. “France is much interested in our securities," he said. ‘The business in- terests of France realize that there are many good propositions here for them to invest in. There is much money now going begging which is awaiting @ good chance for investment. and American eecurities are most apt to get It. Brenchmen are waiting, how- ever, for us to take the {nitiative in starting things going; they rely on the ability of the people here to pull themselves out of any financial de- pression they may have fallen into.” Mr. Guggenheim has been abroad a few months and spent most of his time tn automobile touring through France and Spain. He said that the latter country $e still as slow as it hae been constantly pictured for years; that the soil is allowed to go uncultivated and that the people in general seem very indolent.
