PRISON HOLDS
BOLD BURGLAR

Struggles With Two and
Brings One of Them to Jail
CAUGHT AT THE CRIME
Overtaken in Meat Market
While Robbing Place Into
Which They Had Broken

Patrolman E. E. Lloyd captured a
burglar last evening in the meat mar
ket of A. Geantit at 935 Montgomery
avenue The man, whose name is
James Dillon, alias Brady, was rob-
bing the place with an unknown ac-
complice when the policeman came up
on them and interrupted their work
Lloyd had a desperate struggle with
the men when they tried to make their
escape One got away, but he dubbed
the other one into submission with the
butt end of his revolver.
Lloyd was patrolling his beat when
he discovered that the Yale lock on
the side door had been wrenched off.
Suspecting that a crime had been
committed tAe policeman entered and
searched the place with his electric
lamp. AT this time he was unable to
discover any trace of the burglars, but
when he reached to turn on the gas
and light it. two human forms sud
denly sprang from behind counter
and started for the door.
Lloyd seized each man by the coat
collar and was dragged along by them
through the doorway and into the
street. Both of the robbers then
showed fight and the policeman did
everything in his power to subdue
them. Finally one of the men turned
his coat back and caused the officer S
grip to slip He then dashed down
Montgomery avenue, but Dillon con-
tinued to give his captor battle. Lloyd
drew his revolver and dubbed the
burglar on the head. When the latter
begged for mercy and gave up the
fight he was handcuffed and taken to
the City Prison. In the market were
found a hatchet and a chisel used in
prying off the lock, also three large
rocks tied up in sacks which were to
have been used as weapons.
The police have been unable to learn
much concerning Dillon. He attributes
his presence in the place to the fact
that he was drunk 1t is said. how
ever, that he is an eX-convict and
has done time under the name of
Brady. He refuses to reveal the name
of his partner

THE SONG BIRDS
Audubon Society Member
Would Discourage the
Wearing of Feathers
speeIA. plspa,ea to ghe can.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Protests have
been received by the city officials for
the last few days against proposed
city ordinance" requiring all disorderly
women to wear stuffed birds or feath-
ers on their hats. This eliminated
when a letter reached the City Hall
from Mrs. Francis w. Graham of Lock
port, president of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of the State of
New York.
Mrs. Graham's letter said her or
ganization was in receipt of a circular
signed by Charles M. Skinner of Brook
lyn stating that the Board of Aldermen
of the city of New York had under con-
sideration the feather wearing meas
ure. The circular, according to Mrs.
Graham, also said that fine would be
imposed by the ordinance upon all
women coming within it's provisions
who failed to live UP to them.
while 1 doubt the truth of these
statements wrote Mrs. Graham, "as
president of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of this State 1 write
correct, and If so to protest against the
enactment of such an ordinance. or of
any proposal to recognize, tolerate or
sanction the social eyil.'
Search of the records of the Board of
Aldermen failed to reveal any ordin-
ance of the sort suggested by Mrs. Gra-
ham. Inquiry then turned to Charles
M. Skinner of Brooklyn, the signer of
the circular to which Mrs. Graham re-
ferred Skinner is prominently connect
ed with the Audubon-Society, which
has for its chief object the preservation
of all song birds and birds of plumage
and the encouragement of the wearing
Of feathers or stuffed birds by women
as millinery decorations.
Yes, / am signer of the circular in
question" said Skinner, this afternoon.
IT have sent it all over the country in
my endeavor to have various organiza-
tions write to the New York Aldermen
urging the enactment of the ordinance
in question, and have like ordinances
enacted in other cities of the country -
When Skinner's attention was called
to the fact that the records Of the Aid
ermen failed to disclose the presence
of any such ordinance, he gravely an
nounced that he knew the entire mat
ter was before the board for '.consid-
eration.
