order, 10 be directed to the board of
county canvaSsers. which would prohibit
them from completing the official canvass
pending the judicial execution OF the void

certificate of the canvass.
Justice Mclean refused to grant the

positive knowledge, declaring that he
would not on sucn affidavits restrain an
official body from performing its statutory

GET JEWELS WORTH $4,000.
Thieves Make Rich Haul in Home ot
wealthy New Yorker.

Yonkers, n. y, NOV. 12-Jewelry valued
at more than $4,000 and about 5000 in
cash were stolen some time last evening
from the residence Of Michael Levy, q
wealthy New York clothing manufac-
turer, at 20 st. Andrews place.
The Levys were in New York yester-
day and returned late at night. They
found the house thoroughly ransacked,
all the drawers and closets opened. and
the mattresses and pillows ripped open.
Every article OF jewelry In the house, be-
sides the money, was stolen. as well as
several articles Of silverware.
After the return Of the family q Hun
garian servant known only az Anna re-
turned. When the robbery was reported
to the police. after midnight, the girl was
examined and stated that she left the
house shortly after the family and was
away all day.
The doors and windows showed no
marks, so the police are convinced that
either skeleton keys were used or it was
an inside job. County Clerk Leslie Suth-
eriand. living next door, reports no one
was noticed around the house during the
day time.
