MAN STOLE A GOLD WATCH.
Another Who Was in the Store
Is Held by the Police.

Joseph NJ. White. who says he is a phy-
sician. is locked up at the Four Courts on
a warrant charging him with the theft of
a lady's gold watch from Robert Feickart
a jeweler. at No. 29H South Jefferson ave-
nue..
Shortly before 8 O'Clock Wednesday night
two men entered the store and asked Mrs
Feickert, who was behind the counter, to
show them some gold watches. There was
something about their looks that prompted
Mrs. Feickert to call her husband to wait
on them. A lady's gold watch had already
been left on the counter When Mrs. Feick-
ert turned her back to call her husband, she
says, one Of the men grabbed 1t and ran
out of the store. White, II fs said. started
to follow the other man out but Feickert
who had at that instant stepped out picked
up, his revolver and covered White order
ing him to remain inside.
At the point Of his pistol then Feickert
marched his prisoner outside and to the end
of the block In search Of a policeman. Find
ing none. however, he marched him back
to the store. where he kept him under cover
until. the arrival OF Private Watchman
Theophile Geiselman.
White was taken to the Second District
Station, and thence to the Four Courts. He
declares that he had nothing to do with the
other man. Detective viehle said yesterday
he knew the other man, and would have
him arrested inside of twenty-four hours.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE TICKET.
business Men Fav0rably Impressed
With Democratic Candidates.


Additional interviews obtained yesterday
by The Republic from business and profes-
sional men were favorable to the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Frank P. Crunden Of the firm of Crunden
& Martin Woodenware Company said: The
Democratic ticket on the whole strikes me
as a very good one. Most Of the candidates
on ii will get my vote unless the Republic
an party puts UP a ticket equally as good
or better. This is no time for partisan
politics in municipal affairs. and for one.
am looking out for the best men. no mat
ter what ticket they are on"
David F. Kaime. the well-known real es-
tate man, said: II am a rock-ribbed Re
publican In national affairs. but in the
selection of local officials 1 believe In fit
ness as the only test. 1 am watching to
see whom the Republican managers name
SO that may scrutinize the list very care
fully and cast my vote for the best men. OF
Mr.. Rolla Wells believe him to be a
thoroughly honorable, high-minded and
capable gentleman for the Office Of Mayor"
Edward c. Eliot said: TT Is a great salts
faction to me to see that the ticket named
by the Democrats for the April election Is
so high in its standard. This insures an
opportunity to the citizens to vote for good
men to fill the city Offices. The inde-
pendent vote will be very heavy this spring.
To win 1t from the support Of this ticket,
the Republican party will have to name
one better. or. at least. as good. No one
believes In the maintenance of national
parties more strongly than /. but II in this
matter of city elections the Democrats
name the. best ticket. 1t ought to win."
