in the crime and they have not yet been
apprehended.
A t about s o'clock Mrs. Shields, who was
alone in the house, heard a noise in the
kitchen and called out. who is there?"
Receiving no reply she entered the room
to see a man wearing a red Mother Hub
bard dress and a black mask rising up
through the trapdoor from the basement.
The man seized Mrs. Shields and wrenched
her ring from her finger. Mrs. Shields re-
sisted and pulled the mask from the mans
face, whereupon he drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot her. Neighbors hearing
the noise Of the struggle came to her as
sistance and the burglar fled.

scratched and bruised. She described her
assailant as a dark oomplexioned. heavy
faced man, with dark, sandy moustache and
short cropped hair. She did not see the
other man, who after assisting his COM

before the house. The men entered through
a window in the foundation, and in lifting
the trap, moved the stove, which partially
rested on 1t, thus alarming Mrs. Shields.
The ring taken is engraved IN. S. to Mrs.
Shields" The clothes were later dis
covered by the back yard fence.

1T DEFENDS KING EDWARD
London Turf Publication Takes Up
Criticism Against Ruler for
His Devotion to RacinE.

LONDON. June 21.-In an editorial article
The Field defends King Edward from the
accusation Of unseemly devotion to racing.
The paper considers 1t only right and
proper that a monarch should associate
himself with the amueements Of his people,
and that it is largely on this account that
the king, like his mother before him, is
held in such high honor.
The Field refers also to the increasing
vogue Of polo as a social function and to
his maiesty's recent visit to Ranelagh Ito
witness the second contest between the
American and British polo teams for the
international cup) as the first time a
r~eigning monarch has witnessed a polo
match. The paper expresses it's belief that
the American polo players have agreeable
recollections Of their visit and says that
the next British polo team visiting the
United States will have difficulty IN holding
the cup.
