Letter to Revenue Collectors

Washington, April 25.-The internal reve-
nue. bureau has in course of preparation a
circular letter to collectors in which they
are directed to forward to the bureau all
applications for relief from innocent hold
ers of cigars stamped with counterfeit
stamps and purchased from Jacobs, the
Lancaster, Pa, cigar manufacturer, recent

WOMEN In ROLE
OF HIGHWAYMEN
Two Negro Women and Two
Men Held Up John Lewis.
WOMEN MADE THE ATTACK
And Held Lewis While the Men Went
Through His Pockets Got Watch
and $7o-The Quartette
Now in Jail

Walter Hill, VIII Eightower, Mary Phil
lips and Lucy Smith, all negroes. were ar
rested Yesterday by the police charged with
highway robbery and conclusive evidence
of their guilt secured.
The robbery with which they are charged
was one of the boldest that ever occurred
in the city. Early Monday night, John
Lewis. a railroad man. was attacked on
Avenue between Twenty-first and Twen-
ty-seeond streets by two negro women who
sprang out of the darkness
Man Went Through His Pockets
They threw their arms around him, effec-
tuany pinning his arms to his side, while a
negro man went through his pockets and
relieved him of $40 in cash and valuable
gold watch and chain.
Before Mr. Lewis realized what was
going on the robbers had completed the
job and made their escape. He at once re-
turned to Twentieth street and reported the
matter to officers Patton and Mcdonald,
who went to work on the case and at mid
night related the facts they had gathered
to Officers Thompson and Gray, who re-
lieved them at that hour.
Arrested the Women
At 5 o'clock yesterday morning officers
Gray and Thompson arrested two negro
women in a small house in Avenue c near
the scene of the robbery. AS soon as the
officers informed them of the charge on
which they had been arrested both denied
any connection with the affair, but stated
that the guilty parts lived next door, There
the officers found Mary Phillips and Lucy
Smith and placed them under arrest. The
women were locked up in the city prison
and an effort was made to locate the mon.
Yesterday afternoon officer Disheroon,
who had been put to work on the case with
the other officers, arrested Walter Hnl and
VIII Hightower, two negroes, who were
thought to be implicated. The arrests were
made in Second avenue, between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets.
Found the Watch
When searched a gold watch was found
on one of the negroes. The front case had
been filed down to erase name that had
evidently been engraved upon it, and some
money was also secured. Both negroes
wore new clothes and shoes and showed
signs of prosperity entirely out of keeping
with their class.
I They were locked up at police headquar-
tiers, and later the watch was identified by
Mr.. Lewis as the one which had been taken
from him on Monday night.
Just how the men were implicated and
arrested, the police refuse to say, but it
is believed that somebody squealed.'
Will Hightower is a well-known charac-
ter in police circles, and was wanted for
escaping from the chaingang about six
months ago.
The quartette will be tried in the inferior
criminal court this morning.
