TOURIST ROBBED
Of A LARGE SUM
THREE MEN SECURE $500 IN
GOLD AND JEWELRY
Work Old Game of Jostling Shopper
in Crowded Store and Grab
Handbag at Opportune
Moment

Diamonds, jewelry and valuable
papers to the amount of $500 were
stolen from Mrs, M. L. HASTE of Des
Moines, Iowa, yesterday afternoon
while she was making purchases in
kodak store on South Broadway, near
West Fifth street.
The valuables were contained in
large black sealskin handbag.
Mrs. HASTE claims she was Jostled
by three men, whom the police believe
committed the theft. Descriptions of
men who were seen in the store at the
time of the theft have been furnished
the police, but the latter have made
absolutely no progress in the matter.
Mrs. HASTE, who is at present a guest
a the Hotel Alexandria, had completed
the signing of valuable papers with
Mrs. William Patterson of New Castle,
Pa, during the afternoon. The papers,
which belonged to Mrs. Patterson after
the signature was attached, were also
in the handbag and were to have been
turned over to the latter last night.
Secure Several Diamonds
Besides the valuable papers there
were also several diamond stick pins
pair of. diamond cuff buttons and
other jewelry of considerable value, an
heirloom which was valued highly and
a purse containing $120 in gold.
Mrs. HASTE says she stepped into the
store and laid her handbag upon the
counter while she was making pur-
chase. AT the time three men were
standing near her and she claims she
was somewhat rudely jostled as they
passed. A few moments later she
reached for her handbag and found it
missing.
The police, who have failed to shed
the slightest light on the matter say
that 1t is a common trick the robbers
worked ON Mrs. Haste. Two of them,
according to the police, evidently at
tended to the annoying of Mrs. HASTE,
while third man stole the handbag
at an opportune moment.
Mrs. M. L. Haste and Mrs. William
Patterson will leave today for Ell Paso,
Tex. They stated last night that they
believed they would never recover their
property. The closest watch has been
inaugurated for the papers, as it is be-
lieved the thieves will attempt to dis
pose of them at their earlie& con-
venience.

has been a menace to the city, but at

a large force of watchmen on the
levees and City Engineer HoXie is in
charge of crew working on the canal
banks east of town. A break in the

Another Story Of Wreck.
Another story of the wreck is that
local No. Sc. from Frederick, had en-
tered the block with clear track.
Green lights were then set on the
signal tower, showing that the block
was occupied. The engineer of the
dead train, which was following, ac-
cordingly slowed down as he entered
the block to run in cautiously.
At Takoma station, near the center
Of the block. it is said, the day oper-
ator had tied down the white signals,
showing clear track, and left his
station. At this indication the en-
gineer Of the dead" train crowded on
all steam and forced ahead at a tre-
mendous speed. 1t was a dark and
foggy night, and a slippery track. It
was only q few minutes until the huge
engine OF the dead" train plunged
into the rear OF the local, which was
just pulling out Of Terra Gotta.
Operator Phillips at Takoma denies
that his signals were white. He de-
clares he was at his post and that red
signals wre set, showing occupied
tracks. He was much astonished to
see the dead" train rush past. ana
expected It to slow down and back ND.
Instead, he heard Of the accident in a
few minutes.
