Detectives Oliver, Fennelly, Reyn- olds and Slevin were detailed to lie im walt for the burglars. The detec- tives found the men rt the specified meeting point and shadowed them to the jewelry store. Three of the band went through a Prince street building to the roof of a one-story extension im the rear of the jewelry store. “English Smithy” romained on the Bowery in front of the store, He was smoking an frequently struck matches to signg his friends on the inside that tho” “coast was clear” without, His signals false information, however, ‘st learned when Detective Slevin stepped out of the shadow, aimed a evolver at him and compelled bim to surrende!

It was persistently reported, al- though as persistently denied, that he disagreed with Secretary Bryan on matters of policy and disliked being called upon so often to act as head of | the department in the absences of his chtef. Officials insisted to-day that Moore's resignation was not duo to any friction, but simply because ho desired to enter private life agatn with | greater remuneration. | It was explained in official quarters that Mr. Moore was quitting the State Department in accordanco with an understanding he had with Presi- dent Wilson when he took the office of counsellor last May. In order to secure Mr. Moore's services an ar- Yangement was made whereby the counsellor was to act as Secretary in the absence of the head of the State Department and in ‘other ways was recognized as second only to Mr, Bryan himself.

Unless a new will should be found and it is said that there seems little chance of this happening—James K Hackett, romantic actor, will find himself the heir to near a million and a@ half dollars. This sum will come to him as next of kin to his niece, Mrs. Minnie Hackett Trowbridge, who died yesterday at her home, No. 72 Park avenue. The distinguishing phase of the In- heritance is that Mra. Trowbridge not only disliked the actor, but often said to friends and relatives she did not wish him to share in her property in any way, But the luw stepy in at this juncture and by its process makes Mr. Hackett the heir, ‘Moe reason for thia is that Mra. Trowbridge failed, after leaving her large residuary estate to ber hus- band, Francis Emory Trowbridge, to make any provision for its disposal in the event of his death before hers. Mr. Trowbridge died in September, 1910, but in November, 1908, his wife had suffered a stroke of paralyasls, and from that time was unable to make a new will or change the pro- visions of the old one, So, she had not provided for the disposal of her residuary estate beyond the death of her husband, Mr. Hackett, as next of kin, is heir under the law. Mrs, Trowbridge’s estate consists, roundly, of $1,200,000 in securities, gilt-edged bonds and stocks, a 00® house and paintings valued at | $60,000.

Rand called Mrs. Hall his cltent's “mistress” that she became angry. She often wept, however, and tears fell fast when she recalled Hall's ardent courtship.
