SHOOTS WITH AMMONIA.
Burglar Squirts the Stuff in Pcysic-
ian's Face, but is Captured.

NEW YORK, April 23-Dr Charles Ca
mac of 1O3 East 65th street was asleep
about o'clock yesterday morning when a
burglar who wore rubber 'sneaks," entered
the bedroom. The physicians wife was
away a visit and the two children and
servant were sleeping on an upper floor.
The visitor carried one of those electric
sticks that throw light by pressure on a
button, and he flashed this about the bed
room, the bed and It's occupant while
searching for valuables.
The physician said afterward that the
flashes impressed him even asleep. He
dreamed of shower of meteors and then
came comet that made straight for the
earth and looked as though it was going
to strike in the neighborhood of Manhattan.
The light from the blazing comet was SO
strong that he awoke and found the in
truder's flash light running across his pill
low.
What are you doing here?' he demanded
as he started up.
The stranger pointed an ammonia pistol
or dog gun at him and discharged q guam
tty of strong ammonia water into his face
Instinctively he closed his eyes in time to
protect them and then wiped the stuff from
his face with the bedclothes He jumped
out of bed as the man started down the
stairs to the ground floor and gave pursuit
The man turned about and shot out some
more ammonia, but IT did not reach the
doctors face this time. The intruder had
| taken the precaution before going upstairs
to unlock the street door, SO he was not
delayed in getting out. The physician was
close behind him and determined to cap
ture him. Dressed In his pajamas and with
bare feet he chased the man to Park ave-
nue.. The fleeing man was a good runner
He permitted his pursuer to nearly catch
up with him, and wheeling about, discharg-
ed the rest Of the ammonia at him. There
was not enough of the stuff to do any harm
| SO he went off on the run again and turning
| into Gath street went east to Lexington
avenue and turned downtown.
| Half block further he jumped into an
| areaway and hid behind barrel. The
| physician shouted for help and Policeman
John O'Brien ran over from Sd avenue and
arrested the man behind the barrel In the
prisoners pocket was found gold watch
and chain, silver watch, silver fruit
knife and several other articles Of jewelry
which DR.. Camac recognized as his prop.

NEED OF EDUCATION
LEAGUE BELIEVES IN SPECIALLY
TEACHING ARCHITECTURE.

The Architectural League Of America
continued it's meeting at the New Willard
| today. Reports were received from the va
r1ous committees, one of the most impor-
tant being that on education.
This was read by Prof Newton Wells of
st. Louis. 1t dealt with the changes in
architectural requirements, owing to the de-
velopment of modern buildings and the
changes in the character of construction
and in building material. 1t noted Incl
dentally that the visible supply of white
pine in this country was good for only tif-
teen years more at the present rate of con-
sumption, and that wood a building ma
terial Is destined to disappear except as an
auxiliary in very few years With the use
OF concrete, tiles, steel and lot of other
materials; with the changes in lighting,
heating and plumbing requirements, the
committee said, the profession of archi-
lecture is taking on new and more COM
pncated phases continuously, and that the
work required broader education.
Reference was made to the action OF
Harvard in establishing a postgraduate
course In architecture. and in the discus
sion that followed Mr.. Ash Of Washington
said Columbian College is doing the same
thing. There was a general discussion on
the value of alelier training and the work
that was being done, both in this country
and in France, by the Ecole des Beaux
Arts.
Resolution Adopted.
In conclusion a resolution was passed
recommending the broadening of the gen.
eral educational requirements for entering
the technical course in architecture, with
a view to raising the standard of the pro-
fession
Other reports were submitted from the
committees on publicity and promotion,
current club work. committee civic Inn
nd tIn tfnn ION,
scholarships.
After the morning session there was
luncheon, and then the members went for
a tour of Washington in automobiles as the
guests of the Washington Architectural
Club. A stop was made at the White House
at 2:30, where the members were received
by the President.
