THIEVES SNArCheD JeWELRY
I've Men Start Fake Fight and While
the Man With vaiuahles Was Look
ing On, An Accomplice Grabs Gems
and Disappears.

NEW YORK, Feb. l6-With descrip-
tions furnished OF two Of the men and
of jewelry worth $1,000 taken, the de,
tectiye bureau is investigating the rob
berry OF salesman on the Brooklyn
bridge last Saturday evening, 1t was
decided yesterday TO make public the
facts in the hope Of recovery Of the
gems.
II is believed that four men per
petrated the robbery, which took place
during the rush hour. 1t was tine ia
miliar pickpocket ruse Of fight, In
which the attention of the victim was
distracted, and the man with the stolen
property escaped.
Heatheote & Company was the firm
whose clerk was the victim Of the rob-
berry. The salesman on Saturday even
ing left the firms establishment with
the iewelry, which was to be shown TO
a customer in Brooklyn. There was
nothing to identify the package in
which the jewelry was placed; it was
simply pasteboard box. wrapped with
coarse paper, with no name OF the firm
visible. The young man reached the
bridge at the rush hour, taking the
shuttle train.
Soon after the train started quar-
rel arose between two rough looking
strangers similarly dressed. Their anger
appeared to rise until just before the
Brooklyn end was reached fight began.
One OF the men was knocked on the
salesman; several others appeared TO
fall in. The salesman was struck re-
peatedly. He managed TO struggle free
just as the train was stopped and saw
that his package was gone.

II is difficult to understand how a
reputable newspaper can permit itself
such unfair comment. The only excuse
for the Record Herald ia that IT is one
OF RooseveIt's blindest admirers Any
thing Roosevelt is for the Record
Herald is for, and the reverse of the
proposition is true. Roosevelt is using
every effort to force joint statehood
upon the people OF Arizona. He has
written letters urging a favorable vote
on the proposition and has promised
to send speakers into the territory.
Nevertheless the sentiment seems to
be overwhelmingly against joint state
hood in Arizona. The Record Herald
and the president to the contrary not
wIthstanding, the people OF Arizona
know what they want. II they prefer
no statehood at all TO a union with
New Mexico they certainly have a right
to express that preference at the polls.
Il is intimated that the approaching
test will not be a fair one or a clean
one. Well. who is going to force the
voters OF Arizona TO vote against joint
statehood? Nobody.
The truth is that the approaching
election is sure to be clean. There
would be no object in having 1t other
wise. The voters will express their in
dividual preferences, Certainly the
weight Of the outside influence is being
thrown in favor of joint statehood.
But outsiders have no business mixing
in an affair of this kind. as We have
said on other occasions. The question
concerns the people of Arizona alone.
No outsider will be helped by joint
statehood, none will be injured.
II is rather cheeky in the president

take any part whatever in the contest
