When they reached the house after | t @ run of a block and s half Sherman was stationed In front and Seckingsr and McLoughlin went to the stoop in the back with drawn revolvers just as the burglar emerged. “Hands up!" ordered Seckinger. | The burglar raised a revolver and fired twice, one bullet golng through Seckinger's sleeve, He pulled the trigger twice more but without result, | and then drew a second revoly : from | inside his coat Seckinger tY n fled twice, one bullet striking thy burglar over the right eye and the otter tn the right shoulder, and he fell. | He was carried into the hou.. oy the three detectives, who found be- sides the two revolvers a pair of gloves used to avoid finger prints to jimmies and a flashlight. He said he was “William Martin, no home, professional burglar.” It was not unti] lie'had been taken to St. John’s Hospital that his tden- tity was revealed as William Metel~ ‘eky, forty, the famous “Masonic bur- alar,” said by the police to be wanted for at least fifteen “jobs” in tho Sivcling Heights, Crown Heights and Bedford sections of Brooklyn. St conscious, he was on the operating table when Seckinger recognized hins as @ dangerous two-gun man that Capt. McCloskey, in caarge of detec- tives, had advised his men to “shoot first” if they ever encountered him. The dying man had asked the de- tective who shot him if he was mar- ried and how many children he had, and Seckinger replied he had a wire! and three children. “Then I'm glad I didn't ‘get’ you.” replied the burglar, “It's a good @hing you got mo. first. 1 would have ‘taken’ cach and every one of you.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (Asysciated Press).—Arthur T. Balfour, head of, the Lritish delegation, gave notice to-day that Great Britain would pro- pose to the Arms Conference the total abolition of submarines. The announcement aso said Mr. Balfour would take the submarine question before an open session ot the conference, thus supporting pre- vidus statements in British circles hat Great Britain desired an oppor- tunity to state “her cn work.” British sp have said, however, that British accept- ance of the 6-5-3 ratio plan was in no way contingent upon favorable action by the ron rence on Great Britain's propos) that submarines be abolished as lawful naval weap- ons, Mr. Balfour's presentation will be wholly aside from the question of re- tained’ submarine tonnage. The French Delegation has pre- sented a proposal for so great an in- in the strength of the French Navy that the British declare such a programme, if carried out, would up- 'set the whole plan for » 6-5-3 naval reduction. & 5-5-3 naval reduction. Although not yet entircly revealed, the British underetand that the French plan provides for the con- struction of ten 35,000-ton super- dreadnoughts in the ten years sub- sequent to 1925. These vessels, of a type similar to the Amorican bat- tleship Maryland, would give France a capital ship tonnage of 350,000, as against 315,000 for Japan and a pre- ponderance of new ‘Post-Jutland” type craft ove) all nations.

AND OLIVIA STONE JAIL COMPANIONS: \Nurse, Also Held for Murder, Cares for Mrs. Raizen, | Near Prostration. WATCHED BY ALIENISTS. Four Experts Retained by Family Again Place Mur- deress Under Observation. | Mrs. Lillian $. Raizen, who shot to Abraham Glickstein in |death Dr. Brooklyn, is under the care in Ray- mond Street Jail of Miss Olivia M. P. Stone, trained nurse, who |s await- ing her trial for the'murder of Ellis Kinkhead, former City Attorney of Cincinnati, at his Brooklyn home last summer. Mrs. Raizen was very near to ner- vous prostration when she was taken to the jail after killing Dr. Glickstein, She has recovered sufficiently to take some exercise in the prison corridor when she is not under examination by the alienists employed by her hus- band and family,-but has been un- able to join the other women pris- oners in their yard exercise between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Stone, when Mrs. Raizen was brought into the corridor reserved for women held on murder charges, sent for the Warden and asked for the privilege of using her profes- sional training in caring for Mrs. Raizen. ‘The offer was accepted, Miss Stone is the only one of the women In the corridor with whom Mrs. Raizen has talked at all about her own experience. The other women in the corridor are May Maloney and Sadie Reynolds, held for investigation of the Barry murder last week, and Lucille Leon- ard, who pleaded guilty to man- slaughter. The family of Raizen, it is believed, will allow her to go on trial on a charge of murder rather than upply for a lunacy commission and have her sent to some institution if found of unsound mind, The allenists who visited her aga'n to-day talked with her on various! subjects, including her story of the shooting, but reached no conclusions. The allenists are Dr, Edward 1 Hicks, chief of the nervous and men- tal division of the Broad Street Hos- pital; Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, former President of the State Hospital Com- mission; Dr. G. Harris Isham, Super- intendent of the Brooklyn State Hos- Pital, and Dr. George H, Kirby, Di- rector of the Psychiatric Institute of the New York State Hospital. The identity of the mysterious man who accompanied Mrs. Raizen to the Hotel Breslin ui.cr her arrival from Florida apparently has been cleared up. When Mra, Raizen told her story after surrendering nothing was said of her admitting having been met at the pier by a man and accompanied to the hotel oMfce. This Information came later from a hotel attache who happened to remember her, but District Attorney Lewis says now she told him about it in her con- fession Tuesday. Charles S.

DUBLIN, Dec. 15 (Associated Press)—The crowd grecting the members of the Dail Hireann at tho entrance of the National University was much thinner this morning than on the two previous days on which the body hag met for consideration of the Ivish Peace Treaty.

The Dail can accept or reject the treaty, but cannot make a fresh one without renewed negotiations, yet parts of the debate in secret session are said to have been concerned with the details ax to how the dolegates might have secured better terms. The attitude of the Republican Army is causing much speculation. Its heads in the Dail are admittedly divided on the question of accepting tho treaty, but all the leaders agree in deprecating any interference by the army in the political decision. The offictal orgun of the army de- clares that whaiwrer the decision may be the army will accept it in the true spirit of disciplined soldic in support of the national wil! cun- stitutionally exprcesed.
