W. Harrison Company, | makers and retailers of umbrellas and canes on the ground floor at the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and | Thirty-fourth Street. It presents the appearance of what is called an “in. wide job.” When RK. G. Wilson, the book. keeper, opened the store a little be- fore & o'clock to-day he found all the doors locked as usual and nothing disturbed. In the office there was nothing un- usual, at fret sight, but when he went to the aafe he found it standing it having been opened by some o1 who had carefully wrought out the three-number combination. A hasty glance inside revealed that the cash drawer was missing. This was afterward found in the basement workroom, where the thief j had opened it at his leisure, pocketed ‘about $1,100 that was in it and made his way to the street. Only one thing was amiss in the | oftice—the amall cushion of the chair} of Miss Harrison, the sister of David Harrison, the head of the firm, had been taken from the chair and placed in front of a window in tho parti- tion between the office and the sture, evidently to keep off draughts from the robber.

G. Wilson— took an impreasion of it and bad a false key made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Provi- | sisional President Gutterrez notified the State Department to-day that Gen, Maytorena would move back | from his position at Naco to a point | beyond range of the border. Brig. Gen. Bites, commanding the | vorder troops at Naco, Ariz. how- | ever, reported that the rival Mexicans were still holding their positions an’ that desultory firing continued. He: made no mention of any shots fall- ing on American eoll. EL PASO, Tex, Dec. 21--That Vera Cruz, out of Carranza’a con- trol, was in the hands of mobs of his; soldiers, who were executing and ar- resting citizens right and left, was the unconfirmed report which reached here to-day by way of Mexteo City. Mexicans who alded Gen. during the occupation of Cruz by the American forces were said to have been the first victims. That Car- | ranza was derided by his own sol-| diers was also stated in the reports from pro-Villa sources, SENATE ACTION DELAYED IN PATRONAGE FIGHT | Judiciary Committee Postpones Re- port on Bland Appointment— Siddons Gets Setback. ‘WASHINGTON, Deo. 21.—The Sen- ate Judiciary Committee this after- noon at the request of Senator Reed of Missouri postponed action on the nomination of Ewing C.

Holiday dulness hit the Stock ‘Exchange to-day and there was no more movement in the market than with the deadlocked armies in: trenched in Flanders. Nearly all stocks were stagnant and sagging. The opening prices were about on a level with Bavuraay’e) closing and then most of them slip down a point. Eastern coal with speculative securities, like Read- ing and Lehigh Valley, were down more because they do not share in the freight rate increase which ex- euipts coal, and besides Ponnsylvania State officials have ordered cuts in rates. Prices on the Stock Exchange are now to the lowest level since business was resumed. Some of tho issues have bumped against the arbitrary mini- mum prices fixed by the Exchange governors, below which no sales can 4 made. The effect of this will be end trading in such stocks on the | |fexehango floor, and if enough of | entatd i the bottom, the market of scalpers will resume opera- | ite fn ‘the gutters of New Street, There was no dulness in the Chi-! cago Board of Trade wheat pit to- day.
