of resources and of extension of lines

BOLD ROBBERS
INVADE A HOME
Hold Up Noted Lecturer in
Her Dwelling in New York
and Secure Valuable Booty
THUGS WORK QUIETLY
Mrs. Mary E. Lease, Former
Leader of the Populists,
Victim of a Daring Crime

NEW YORK, May 27.-Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease, the lecturer and former Populist
leader, was the victim of a daring rob-
berry in her home in this city last night.
While one robber held a revolver with
the muzzle pressing close against her
temple and admonished her not to make
an outcry another searched her fiat,
gathering up valuables of every descrip-
ton, and finished by taking a diamond
pin which she wore at her throat. A roll
of bank notes amounting to $110, which
Mrs. Lease had just drawn from the
bank, also was found by the robbers and
carried away by them. The total value
of the booty they secured is placed at
$500.
Mrs. Lease was reading in her sitting
room when she heard footsteps in the
private hall outside and went to investi-
gate. AS she stepped acress the threshold
a short, stoekily-built man seized her by
the throat and forcing her against the
wall placed the muzzle of revolver
against her temple.
mot a word he said, and the order
was obeyed.
81 don't want to shed any blood" con-
tinued the thug, 'and l won't if you will
be sensible and keep quiet My pal is go
ing through your fiat That diamond
studded breastpin of yours looks pretty
good and / guess / will take 1t.
Mrs. Lease handed it over without
even a word of protest.
Through the door of her fiat she saw
the other robber packing away her sill
yer and such bric-a-brac as he took a
fancy to.
Now, you've got some money, and
you've got to show me where it is"
said one of the desperadoes. 1T must
be in that bag you had when you came
in. Show me where you put it. No
funny business now"
With the revolver at the back of her
head Mrs. Lease led him to her bed
room and pointed out her shopping bag.
The burglar opened 1t, took the roll Of
bills and then marched her back to the
hail. where he detained her with his
revolver until the other robber had fin
ished with the silver and other things
in the fiat.
When the fiat had been plundered to
their satisfaction the men rushed out
of the building and disappeared down
the street. Mrs. Lease gave the police
a good description of the robbers, but
they have not yet been found.

one American and one French, each nine
teen years old-Miss Myrtle Elvyn of
Chicago and Mademoiselle Germaine

shortly be heard as concert soloists in
the United States. Miss Elvyn, who is a
native of Texas, was a child wonder"
pianist developed by Carl Wolfsohn Of
Chicago, who has spent the past three
years in Berlin perfecting her technique

who is an exceptionally pretty girl of the
typical American blonde type, has just
completed a tour of Belgium and Holland,

won warm praise from Berlin's eXacting
critics. She also played with great sue
cess before the venerable Grand Duke of
Baden.
MsdemoiselIe Schnitzer was also plan

cocious age of six At seven she was
transposng Bach's fugues and preludes
so brilliantly that she attracted the in

parents TO be permitted to develop the
little woman at the Paris Conservatory

reer. Her first year under Pugno resulted
in her winning the gold medal Of her
class. Emil Sauer then sought the privi-
lege Of entering Mademoiselle at his
school in Vienna and she studied with
him for several years after leaving Pug

Orchestra in Berlin in February of this
year captured the local critics, who pre-
dict for her a brilliant future. Pugno

In his sermon last night, at the Calvary Baptist

His friends reasoning is ingenious. They say
that President Roosevelt Will push his reform

DOMINICAN REBELS ACTIVE
Efforts to Bring About ReUolution
Before Congress Meets.

Congress meets Ex-Preadent Jimenes, after
making a couple of trips to the Danish Island of
st. Thomas for the purpose of comforting with
prominent Dominican revolutbonasts. has moved
from Mayaguez, and has made Ponce his head
quarters Il is also rumored that Panchito
Detchen a prominent Dominican, who has re-
sided for the last few months in a secluded part
Of the suburbs of San Juan. in order to escape
undue attention. has gone north for the purpose
of raising a loan The money. if obtained, is
for the purchase OF arms and ammunition.
General Demetrio Rodriguez. Governor of the
Monte Cristi district. has been joined by Cen
eraI Cespedes and his brothers General Ces-
pedes was one of the principal factors in plac-
ing General Morales in the Presidential chair of
Santo Domingo. Cespedes has, however, quar-
relied with Morales account of the latters
transactions with the American government,
and has FASTENED to join forces with those of
the enemies Of the present Dominican govern
ment and American intervention in Santo Do
rningo.
Those who know the influence that Generals
Cespedes and Demetrio Rodriguez exercise over
the Dorningans their valor. their thorough
knowledge of the country, and their determine
ton, fear that Morales will not long continue
In power.
Although so far passive. there exists among
the natives of Santo Domingo secret league
against American intervention. and while they
await the action Of Congress in their AFFAIRS they
are preparing for the worst. It is asserted on
good authority that it is the intention OF the
Doninicans who are adverse TO American IN
PREVENTION to burn all the seacoast towns OF the
republic and TO retreat into the woods rather
than submit to American rule should Congress
decide unfavorably TO their wishes.
Americans who have not been in Santo Do
rningo cannot form the slightest idea OF the
abomination in which the majority OF lhe
natives hold the Americans as rulers
The leaders of the opposition against Morales
and American intervention in Santo Domingo
assert that with the exception of a few men OF
letters who are no good at fighting and are too
weak and cowardly to join any party except
the one in power all others will surely desert
Morales at the moment when they are most
needed
It is asserted that President Morales is most
anxious that no revolutionary movement should
take place Immediately before or during the
time that Congress is discussing Dominican af-
fairs. and he is taking all necessary precautions
TO avoid such disaster. The revolutionists on
the other hand. most anxious to make a
disturbance in that period, they believe that
such a movement would incline Congress to de-
eide unfavoraby to American intervention in
Dominican affairs.
