There are evidences that the offer of
a reward by The Argus is resulting in
efforts by residents TO capture the
burglars, not that people are moved
so much by a desire 10 win the reward
as that they now realize the gravity of
the situation and are anxious to CO.

About the Eyes

AZ
VOUR eyes are subject TO as many different defects
as the body. whereas il should be one Of the
most perfect organs of the body In most civilized
countries 900 people out of 1000 wear glasses some
time in life. II is natural you should need glasses
for reading. writing. sewing and other close work
between the ages Of 20 and as years. A perfect eye
should require glasses at this age to relieve them from
strain when being used for near work. Many young
people need glasses early life TO relieve the various
forms of eye strain which is the Of 1870 Of all
headaches.
1t has been proven by eminent authorities that
three people out OF every four that have headaches
have defective eyes and properly fitted glasses the
remedy because they correct the defects and relieve
the strain.
When you are ready to be relieved Of those head
aches and make sewing. reading and all near work
comfortable and pleasure call and have our skilled
eyesght specialist DR.. Meyers, measure your eyes
and fit you with glasses that We guarantee will give
you perfect satisfaction or no charge. Our methods
are different from most others.

HUGE BALLOON FOR
WELLMAN QUEST
Airship for Polar Voyage Ready
Soon-Andre's Old Base
to Be Used.

Paris, May 21.-The early departure
of Walter Wellman, the American ex
plorer, and his party for Spitzbergen, in
accordance with his plan to endeavor to
reach the north pole by means Of
dirigible balloon, is attracting wide
spread attention here among aeronauts
and men of science. This attention has
been increased by Mr.. Wellman an
nouncement that he intends to estab
lish base at Danes island and begin
his ascent on the very spot where Andre
inflated his balloon.
The first section of his party, under
Major Hersey, will leave Paris in few
days, rendezvousing at Tromsoe until
June l, and then proceeding to Spitz
bergen, where Major Hersey will direct
the construction of headquarters ma
chine shop, gas plant and balloon shed.
The balloon shed will be the largest
ever constructed, owing to the enormous
dimensions of Mr.. Wellman' s machine.
Mr.. Wellman will follow June 25 with
the balloon. A wireless telegraph ex-
pert will establish a wireless station at
Spitzbergep.
The balloon is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, and Mr.. Wellman and Con-
structor Goddard will soon invite aero
nautic engineers to inspect the motor,
screws and mechanical parts Of the ma
chine. 1t will be impossible to initiate
it here, as there is no shed large enough
to house such monstrous airship.

Mourners Chase Assailants.


When the mourners recovered from
their surprise they charged the tene-
ment roof in the hope of catching the
culPrits, but they were gone: The at
tack was so sudden that the two. police
men acting as escort were unable to
make arrests.
A man called at. Levy Greenburg' g
stable in the morning and told Mrs.
Greenburg that his child was critically
i'll with appendicitis and begged for
a coach to take the child to hospital.
The father, when told that there were
no drivers, sobbed and offered $50 to
| one of the striking drivers for this life
and death service. None Of the strikers
budged, and they refused to allow
non union man to take out vehicle.
Unjust I stand here and see my child
die7' cried the father. "Give me
horse and carriage and 1 will drive my

attention of the strikers pickets by

safely and succeeded in taking the
child to the hospital.
Woman Defes Mob.
On his return the strikers waylaid
the man in front of his home and took
the carriage. Mrs. Greenburg heard
of this and took the matter into her
own hands. She scattered the drivers
when she reached the scene and, mount
ing the drivers seat, bareheaded, drove
| back to the stable.
Mrs: Greenburg played a mans part
later in the day. The secretary Of a
Hebrew lodge went to the stable to
get carriage to take a dead baby to
| the burial grounds. He carried the
coffin with him. The moment the
strikers saw the coffin, a cry was raised
and word was sent to their headquar-
tiers for men to prevent the burial The
secretary Of the lodge was seated on
coach as driver when the strikers ap-
peared. Fearing violence, he made a
hasty retreat. But not Mrs. Green,
burg. She fought the strikers until the
police arrived. The body was not
buried.
Say Employers Backed Out.
Julius Scheuer had hearse and eight
coaches at a funeral in East Sixth
street when walking delegate came
along and whistled. The drivers jumped
on their seats and drove off. Tho
driver of the hearse was about to fol
low, but the mourners persuaded the
body to the grave, saying that they
would go on streetcars. ....-.
At the strikers headquarters it wa
admitted that they had recently signed
an agreement at $13 week for four
teen hours work a day, but they sait
the employers had not lived up to thei
side of the agreement. They now de
manded $l4 week for twelve hour
a day. z.~..s

New York, May 21:-The East Side
was aroused Sunday by three riots of
striking drivers and sympathizers who
mobbed and stoned minerals. They
prevented at least thirty more funerals
from taking place. Weddings also were
interfered with and brides and guests
had to walk or ride on streetcars.
The worst of the day occurred at the
funeral of Samuel Diamond. The I'M
dertaker had only been able to get
one open coach and a hearse, and he
drove the hearse himself. His son
drove the carriage for the Diamond
family.
Three hundred friends Of the Dia-
monds, finding no carriages, determined
to walk The procession started for the
Williamsburg bridge, followed by a
hooting crowd of strikers and their
sympathizers. At Norfolk and Delan-
cey streets a shower of stones fell from
the roof of one of the tenements upon
the heads Of the mourners. Several
missiles struck the carriage occupied by
the relatives. No one was hurt. Be-.
