1t is conceded that the greater portion of

CHILD BURGLAR.
ONLY TWELVE YEARS OLD BUT
HAS ROBBED EIGHT HOUSES.


Derby, Conn, March 25.-Lena
ECook, twelve years old, pleaded
guilty to-day to series of burglar
les that for the last month have
terrified the fashionable north-end
dristrict of Bristol. Eight residen-
ces have been robbed, silverware
valued at $50 being taken from the
house of Mrs. Katherine Holdridg ge
and $75 worth from that of Mrs.
William Bancroft. Rugs, jewelry
and linen were taken from other
houses. The burglaries occurred
twice week, despite the fact that
police pro lection was doubled.
Last night the girl was recogni-
zed as she emerged from a window
and ran. When Chief of Police
Arms arrested her in school to-day,
be found three skeleton keyssin her
pocket. Scattered about her room
at home were the stolen goods from
all eight houses.
In the City court she broke down
and confessed. She declared she
was collecting articles for house
keeping in case she should marry.
Judge Newell ordered her sent to
the Industrial School for Girls. on
request of her father, Alexander
Cook, a mechanic.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, March 23.-
The American falls is practically
dry and for the first time in *
years people are able to walk about
in the river bed. Thousands have
clamored over the rocks hunting
for relics and souvenirs. Great
rocks never before seen are high
and dry. So little water is flowing
over the American falls that men
in high boots almost could have
crossed at the brink. The extra
ordinary condition is due to an ice
jam UP the river. The ice was
driven from Lake Erie into the en-
trance in the Niagra and lodged in
the shoalwater, shutting off the
flow into the American channel
The Horseshoe fall is not affected
as much as the American. The
river in the vicinity of the Three
Sister Islands Is qnite dry and the
center fails, between Goat and
Luna Islands, is a skeleton Of itself.
The condition is likely to exist tor
several days.

Washington, March 25.-An al
legged plot to kidnap three members
of the cabinet Of the forthcoming
Presidential tour of the West was
made public today.
The men against whom the plot is
supposed to have been hatched are
no less personages than Secretary of
War Root, Attorney General Knox
and Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw.
The announcement created no
little sensation in government cir
cles, for, while it is generally dis
credited, it is known that there are
men in the West who are bold
enough to attempt almost any pro-
ject that promises large returns.
The warning came from John
Fremont, the aged negro orator,
who gave his information to Con-
gressman Tawney today. The col
ored man stated that plot was on
foot to kidnap the three officials
while they were with the President
in Montana. j.
The object of the kidnappers,
said Fremont was to secure e heavy
ransom. Tawney considered the
information Of sufficient Importance
to inform Secretary Shaw. It is
learned that steps will at once
be taken to investigate the alleged
plot and to discover the plotters,
if they exist outside the negro's
Imagination.

for the Fourth District has decided
that when man is sent to prison
for the murder Of his wife he is ju-

entitled to the insurance on the life
of the murdered woman, even if it
was taken out in favor of her hus-
band. This is said to be a point
of law never before raised or passed

More than a thousand dead bod

The war between these tribes has

New York, March 25.-Hon.
franklin K. Lane, recently a cam
didate for governor. of California.
and the city attorney of San Fran
cisco, is in New York. His mission
in coming East is to secure from
the department of the interior the
right to use two reservoir sites on
the Yosemite National Park as a
source of water supply for San
Fracisco. Applications were made
for these sites two years ago by the
mayor, but were rejected. The city
now renews the application in lis
own name. If they are granted the
water supply will be owned by the
municipality.
Plans and estimates have already
been made which call for an expen-
diture Of $4O,OOO,OOO. In general
outline, the scheme is to hold back
in giant reservoirs the waste food
waters of the Tuolumne River, and
by canals and pipes carry the water
across the San Joaquin Valley and
under San Francisco Bay, dist
ance of. 40 miles.
The new charter of San Francis,
co makes it mandatory that the
question of municipal ownership Of
the water supply shall be submit-
ted to the vote of the people, and it
is in conformity with that direction
that the plans of the Tuolumne pro-
ject have been made.
New York, March 24.-There .;s
every indication that the Lorenz
apparatus invented by the celebrat-
ed Vienna surgeon to be used in op-
erations for congenital hip disease
Twill prove a complete success.
The six children upon whom DR..
Frederick Mueller, the pupil Of DR..
Lorens, operated on sunday, using
the device for the frs. time in this
country, now rest comfortably, and
appear to have their limbs set in
normal fern. '''.5'
The Lorenz hip redresseur resem.
bles somewhat the skeleton frame
of crib. At one end is padded
support for the children's backs, at
the other are leather sockets in
which the feet are strapped. At
either end are clamps and screws
for adjusting the appliance and for
the stretching process. The redres-
seur, heavy and silver-plated, is
elamped upon the operating. table.
The patient is etherized and ar
ranged with one foot in the fixed
leather socket and the other in, the
movable socket, adjusted much
as boot is clamped in a skate.
Then DR.. Mueller holding the dis.
torted tendons and muscles with
one hand, manipulates the screws
with the other and slowly draws
out the foot Of the shorter leg to-
ward its mate.
Bit by bit under the strain Of the
clamps and screws, stronger than
human hand, the muscles stretch.
The proper length Of leg attained,
the screws are released. Then the
child is taken from the redresseur
and placed in plaster of paris cast
already prepared.
