FROM UNION STATION
BURGLAR MADE HAUL THAT
Melted HIM $1,000.
BIRMINGHAM TICKET AGENT
HAD HIS OFFICE ROBBED OF RE-
CEIPTS.

Some One Who Knew the COmbina-
ton of the Safe Did the WOrk-A
Sleeping Clerk Near mt Hand Was
Not ArOused-A Number of Per-
sons Were in the Station at the
Time of the Theft The Police
Have Secured no C1ue-Loss Falls
ON Railroads.
Birmingham, Ala, May 16.-Burglars
entered the private office Of Jack w.
Johnson, ticket agent at the union
passenger station, at an early hour this
morning and distracted $1,000 from the
safe.
At the time the burglary is supposed
to have been committed, A. r. Cook,
a clerk who was on the night watch,
says he had taken a nap, as no trains
were going out at that hour. There
were three or four Waterman in the
station at the time, however, and there
were several men sitting in the waiting
room into which the ticket office open
ed.
After securing several small boxes
in the safe, containing valuables, the
burglar or burglars escaped through
a small window, which opens on Morris
avenue.
The robbery was not discovered I'M
til 5 o'clock, when Mr.. Cook went to
the safe to make a deposit. Several
railroad detectives and three or four
special men from the Birmingham
police force were put to work on the
case, but so far have not obtained a
clue. They kept the matter a secret,
and it was not known. generally I'M
til late this evening.
The stolen property consisted of ST.
500 in Endorsed checks, besides green
backs and coin.
The thief evidently was familiar
with the Office as he opened the safe
by the regular combination and did not
disturb the clerk, who was sleeping a
few feet from him.
The loss is shared by the various
railroads entering Birmingham, and
each of them now has special detec-
tive working on the case.

HOME IN PALESTINE.
The Only Practical Solution of the
Jewish Question.

The Only Practical Solution of the
Jewish Question.
London, May 16.-At a meeting of
Jews held in Shoreditch this evening
under the auspices of the English Zion
list Federation, Israel Zangwill, the
author. seconded a. resolution declaring
that the establishment of a home in
Palestine was the only practical soIu-
ton of the Jewish question.
Mr.. zangwill, in the course of his re-
marks. said President Roosevelt's re-
monstrance with Roumania was an ex-
ample for all Christendom, and recited
details of horrors that had occurred
at Kishineff, Bessarabia. He declared
that uniformed state functionarias
mingled with the mob at the opening
of the riots. and that police and SOL
diers participated in the pillage. The
Governor, he added. had ordered a
Jewish deputation which had waited
upon him for the purpose of demand
ing protection, to be driven out of the
court yard, and that many so-called
fashionable people drove in their car
riages ito see the fun
The resolution was carried.

Washington, May 6.-Secretary
Shaw has wired instructions to In
spector Stump at Newbern, N. c., to
convey the passengers and crew of
the abandoned Portuguese bark Vera
Cruz to New Bedford, Mass. by rail,
and to employ guards, if their assist
ance is necessary. Mr.. Stump trans
nitted a recommendation of Surgeon
Glover that the transportation be by
water, but the secretary was unable TO
make arrangement for such convey
ance.
In his report concerning the condi-
lions of the stranded aliens, which was
dated at noon yesterday, and received
to-day, Mr.. Stump says:
"The captain of the barkentine
abandoned his ship. taking all the
money he could lay his hands on, and,
from the statements of those exam
ined, half starved them, was drunk
most of the time, and they find them
selves here in a most pitiable condi-
ton"

Mrs. Pierre LOriIlard Was the Vic
tim of Thieves.
London, May 16.-The loss of Mrs.
Pierre Lorillard. who is reported to
have been robbed of $4,000 worth of
jewels, amounts probably 10 a far
greater sum than at first reported Mrs.
Lorillard lost all her jewelry, except
what she was wearing, and a letter of
credit and other va1uables.
The robbery occurred at the 3erke-
ley Hotel, to which place two men fol-
lowed Mr.. and Mrs. Lorillard all the
way from Monte Carlo. The thieves
evidently waited for a favorable OBJ
portunity to commit the robbery and
have now gone off with the valuables.
The police have no clue to their where
abouts, but Mrs. Lori1lard now re-
members meeting at various points of
the journey the two suspects and see

CANNOT INTERFERE
ON BEHALF OF JEWS.
The United States Have no Remedy
TO Apply.


Washington. May 16.-Marked copies
of Jewish newspapers and personal rep
reservations are pouring in upon the
State Department, all relating to the
reported killing and maltreatment of
Jews in Bessarabia. Some, at least,
of these show misunderstanding of the
situation and of the limitations of the
powers of the State Department in
dealing with the matter.
Ambassador Mccormick has been
criticised for denying that any massa-
ores occurred. 1t is said at the depart
ment that the ambassador made no
statement of his own on the subject;
he simply transmitted textuaily the re-
ply of the Russian government to re-
quest made by the United States that
relief funds be admitted for distribu-
ton among the sufferers. The Russian
governments reply, published at the
time, was that there was no such suf-
fering as had been reported, and no oc-
casion for relief.
Mr.. Mccormick could not question
the veracity of his official informant,
and he sent the denial along without
comment, distinctly placing it upon the
Russian government.
The State Department feels that 1t
can do no more than it has done in the
cause of the oppressed Jews. 1t has
not learned officially that a single one
of them is an American citizen, so it
has no warrant for interference.
There is no parallel between cases of
the Jews in Roumania and those in
Russia. In the first case it is said at
the department that the United States
had ground for Intervention because
the Roumanian governments action
was injuring the United States by
dumping a horde of undesirable immi-
grants upon their shores. 1t is not as
serted that this result follows the Rus
sian act, which, moreover it is point
ed out. is not official. 1T IS precisely
as IL Count Cassini should present him
self to Secretary Hay, and, in the name
of his government, protest against re-
ported lynchings of negroes by mobs
in this country, which probably would
result in polite intimation to the am
bassador that he was going beyond the
limits of his proper business.
That is the state of the case official
ly, but it may be added that the limit
ed action taken by the United States
has served a purpose to make known
to the Russian government that the
great moral influence of the United
States is directed toward securing an
amelioration of the conditions of the
Jews in Russia.

Manila, May 16.-Capt. Clough Over

Private Hartlow was wounded yester-
day in a bold rush at Sucatlan, Island

No details of the fighting have been
received beyond a brief telegram re-
porting the deaths. 1t is said that six
of the enemy were killed.
1t is thought that the natives ap-
preached Capt. Overton's command,
pretending friendship. and then at
tackled the Americans.
About 300 insurgents, armed with
bclos, resisted the landing of a force
of scouts at Catalman Camiguin Is
land, Tuesday. They charged the
scouts and wounded two of them. 1t
required an hour to dispense the insur-
gents. Twelve of the latter were kill
ed and many were wounded. The
scouts, whose gallantry has been COM
mended, are pursuing the insurgents.
