Suspected Burglars Cause a PlalnfleId
Street Family Much Worry.
Grace White Has Disappeared From
Home Again--LoCa| News.

There was plenty OF excitement at the
welman mansion at IS Plainieid street
last evening. when every member Of tho
household was searching for burglar.
just before the hour Of midnight the
head OF the house heard strange noise
and an investigation was az once begun.
Footsteps and rustlings and the slam
ming of door were heard and this door
led 10 the cellar.
The occupants of the house felt sure
that Mr.. Burglar was In the cellar, so n
piece Of plank was secured from the yard
and this was braced against the cellar
door and then messenger was dis
patched 10 the square for reinforce
ments which came in the form OF Pa
trolmen Kelly and wilkins.
First these men made careful inves
tigation and they found that one OF the
drawers OF the sideboard that contained
considerable silver ware had been opened
but the only thing that was missed was
a revolver This was not a pleasant
thought for the Wellmans or the police,
for II the burglar was armed with a re-
volver I'm dark cellar the outlook could
be anything but tough"
However the police started in to do
their duty or die. The plank was re-
thing that greeted the ears OF those at

some one walking over pile of papers.
and as the police descended the Stairs
the sound came nearer TO them and
every second they expected to see the
fash OF the revolver.
Both men were ready for any emer-
1ency. but when they reached the cellar
they found that the noise was made by
dog and this accounted for the strange
noise. but neither the Wellmans nor the
police could account for the missing re-
volver or the presence OF crowbar that
was found In the kitchen

below
AS Carolyn knew that the ledger who
occupied the top floor front had gone
out, she stole to one of his windows.
1t was II o'clock, and the mounted po-
lice, as is their wont, had cleared
West Seventy-second street of all traf-
fic vehicles, to make ready for the
carriages that later on throng this
boulevard. Carolyn had risen late.
The demands of the stomach are not
as peremptory when one is quiet, and
she haG faced the fact, the night be-
fore, that she stood possessed of eX-
actly IS cents.
1t was still early for pleasure dr;v-
ing, so that the boulevard, for the mo-
ment, was given over to companies of
gayly CARRIED maskers, who were ring
ing door-bells. and, in merry imperti-
nence, accosting passers by. Through
the silvery, silken mist they went
caracoling, a broken tangle of bright
color, as far as Carolyn could see.
and she wondered, as many another
newcomer to New York has done,
as to this odd Thanksgiving day GUS
tom, which has a history that it is
not the purpose of this narrative to re-
late.
The SAVIOR of the Thanksgiving din
ner, in course of preparation below
stairs, which was exclusive to the keep
er of the house and her family, float
ed upward. AS Carolyn stood looking
out, the appetizing odors beat at the
door of her demanding young stomach
with tantaliZing insistence.
The carriages were now beginning
to pass, and, from one of them, she saw
a shower of coin flung to a group of
singing maskers. With quick resolve.
she turned, went to her room, took the
paints with which she eked out the
little allowance her old uncle was able
to send her, and in few minutes had
finished dainty masque. She was a
fragile little thing, and when she had
donned a costume which she had worn
at fancy dress affair one never-to-be-
forgotten evening when Dick had told
her of his love. and tied about the
loosened curls of her dark hair a fillet
of gold-colored ribbon, she looked no
more than a child.
She slipped softly down the stairs.
and reached the outer door of the
ground floor unobserved. A company
of maskers went scurrying down the
street like bright, wind-swept autumn
leaves. Quickly she stepped in among
them, and. seized with the abandon of
the moment, she began to sing that
rollickins little bird song, THE Robin"

And such a dinner as they had. Carolyn
declared she had never tasted any
thing as good, and that never before
had she been so truly thankful for a
Thanksgiving dinner. Dick started out
by saying they would be married in
month, which Carolyn thought was too
soon, but when the dessert was brought

The company started two boilers at

house, Monday, where 20 non-unionists
have been quartered as though in ho-
tel. At the State street powerhouse Is
men had been similarly installed to
take the places of those who have quit.
Twelve strike breakers were taken to
the barns at West Seventy-seventh
street and Vincennes road. The men
were struggled into the barns on the
floor of the company's money wagon.
Cases are becoming numerous where
passengers who ride under police pro-
lection on cars manned by nOn-uniOn
crews, have, it is alleged, been fol-
lowed by strike sympathiZers after
leaving the cars and been beaten or
stoned. The first case in which women
figure is that of Miss Beatrice Kim

they were thus assailed by a crowd
near Thirty-ninth street and Went

PROTEST FROM COLOMBIA.
The Colombian Authorities Cable a
Lengthy Protest to London.
the World That the United States
Has InfrinGed Treaty of 1916.

London, Nov 16.-The Colombian
authorities have cabled to London q
lengthy protest against the United
States action towards Panama, in
which they claim that the main re-
sponsibility for the secession of Pana-
ma lies with the United States govern
ment, firstly, by fomenting the sepa-
ratist spirit, of which there seems to
be clear evidence. Secondly, by hastily
acknowledging the independence of the
revolted province, and, finally, by pre-
venting the Colombian government
from using proper means to suppress
the rebellion"
The cable message goes on TO say
that President MarroQuin has energet-
ically protested to the Unied States,
and wishes that his protest should be
known throughout the civilized world.
The president contends that the United
States has infringed Article 80 Of the
treaty of 1876, which, he aserts, i'm
plies the duty on the part of the United
States 20 help Colombia in maintaining
her sovereignty over the isthmus, and
adds that the "Colombians repudiate
the assumption that they have barred
the way to carrying out the canal"
President Marroquin points out that
Colombia had constantly endeavored
to act in a friendly manner with the
United States, even asking for the as
sistance of American marines to insure
free transit across the isthmus," says
the rising occurred when the govern
ment was not prepared, having with
drawn most of its troops when peace
was re-established last year, and con-
-cludes: THE hastiness in recognizing
the new government which sprang up
under these circumstances is all the
more surprising to the Colombian gov
eminent, as they recollect the energet-
ic opposition of Washington to the ac-
acknowledgement of the belligerency of
the confederates by the powers during
the civil war"
