POLICE HARD AT WORE
Investigating Robbery at Mr/Mearns,
Residence


That the thieves who took about 81 200
worth Of jewelry from a drawer of a
bureau in the second story Of the resi-
dence Of Mr.. William A. Mearns, 1901 8
street, about o'clock pm, February q,
are as clever as any who ever worked in
Washington is the conclusion Of the police,
after almost two days Of investigation.
Detectives Helan, McNamee, Grant and
Berman of headquarters and Detective
Greene of the tenth precinct are working
on every clue and theory that might lead
to the arrest of the guilty parties and the
recovery of the lost property.
About LOCO letters were sent out last
night to all the cities and larger towns in
the eastern part of the country announc-
ing the robbery, giving description of the
missing property and asking the police au-
thorities to look out for the same. The
information is printed on a small card,
and in large letters across the top is the
statement that $3.50 reward has been Of
fered by Maj. Sylvester for the arrest and
conviction of the thieves and the recovery
of the property. More circulars will be
sent out as they are printed.
AS the investigation continues the belief
grows that the robbery was by profess
sional second-story workers, or porch
climbers" Although there were many
things of value lying about the room, they
were not touched. Finding only one drawer
of the bureau locked, that was opened and
the valuables taken The intruders did not
linger long after the lock dropped onto the
floor. 1t is believed that any one but a
professional would have taken other things.
While the police are working on their
theories, it is pointed out that the case Is
one of the hardest ever handled by the
local force Inspector Boardman, chief of
detectives, visited the scene of the robbery
yesterday and investigated every detail of
the case. He made several suggestions to
his men which are being followed.

LOCALIZED MURDER.
Characterization of War by Prof. D.
A. Edwards.

A large audience gathered last night at
Carroll Institute Hall to listen to lee
ture on Napoleon Bonaparte by Prof D. A.
Edwards, president of the Columbian-Cor-
respondence College. The speaker called
attention to the fearful military expenses
of the leading Christian nations of the world
and said that instead of making an agree
ment about the size of their ornaments
each one was trying to put up bold front
to scare each of the others and thus pre-
serve the peace. He gave a sketch of the
life Of the Little Corporal dwelling par
ticularly on his march across the Alps, the
concordat, the burning of MOSCOW the WIN
ter retreat through the SHOWS OF Russia
and the destruction of 100000 soldiers COM
prising his grand army.
In closing he said: Some speakers and
writer's claim that war is necessity, that
it puts energy into a nation and elevates it.
/ cite the life of this man as an Illustration
of it's uselessness and cruelty. In every
war one country or perhaps both are at
fault though each government tries TO
make it's citizens believe it is absolutely
right and that the other is absolutely wrong
so that its citizens will slaughter the c1tf-
zens of the other country with clear con-
science. 1 believe the day is not far dis.
tant when the ministers of the gospei OF
all denominations in all countries Will
preach against the needless waste OF human
lives and human energies as they now
preach against any of the great evils OF
our times I think the day is close at hand
when war will be known by its proper
name which is legaliZed murder.

ANOTHER COKE TEST
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT BY
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD,

Another successful coke test was made
yesterday by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. 1t was witnessed by several
officials from the other railroads entering
this city. The test occurred yesterday
morning, when $500 pounds of coke was
put on two engines leaving the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station at 9Th and B streets.
The first test was at 1880 o'clock on the
engine of train No. $40. The fire had been
prepared at the engine house, and prac-
tcally all of the coke was put into the
fire box. 1t is stated that not a particle
of smoke emerged from the stack of the To-
connective until 1t was well outside the city
limits The second test was at II O'clock
when the engine attached to train No. 6S
was also supplied with $500 pounds of coke
An official of the road stated that all Of
the experiments that have been made
within the past two weeks have proved
conclusively that smoke can be eliminated
by the use of COKE

Information Received Regarding Tw
Men Under Arrest.

Through letters received yesterday from
the Pinkerton detective agency and the
state prison board of New York the local
police are convinced that they made an ex-
cellent haul when they arrested Matthew
Mcneil, alias Joseph Piggott, and John
Burns, alias William Powers. According to
the letters both men have records and Nc
Neill is wanted in New York state for
breaking a parole.
According to the Pinkerton agency, Burns
is known under the aliases of Frank Adams,
Frank Denning, Walter Palmer and Wor-
cester Whitley. In November, 1895, he was
sent to Auburn state prison for grand lar
ceny for year and nine months; In No
vember, 1899, he was sentenced to the AL
bany county Jail for two years for burglary
and petty larceny, and in April, 1902, he
was sentenced to Auburn state prison for
four years for burglary in Syracuse. Burns
was arrested here in connection with the
breaking of a show window and the larceny
of jewelry.
The state prison department of New York
stated in regard to Mcneil that he was
sent to Sing Sing prison as Joseph Piggott
for grand larceny and sentenced to serve
from one to four years. After about two
years he was paroled, 1t is said, and is now
wanted for breaking the parole The de-
partment desires to get him back.

John Morgan, a septuagenarian. has filed
suit in the District Supreme Court against
his daughter, Sarah G. Warwick, and her
husband, Edward e. Warrick, to compel
the reconveyance to him of premises No.
2215 L street northwest, which he claims
to have decided to his daughter on condi-
ton that she care for him for the rest Of
his days.
Morgan says that in 1901 he became in
capacitated from old age and made the
alleged agreement with his daughter.
Because of the alleged abuse of him by
his son-in-law, the complainant says, he
lived only a short time with them, and in
March, 1903, he says, they denied him ad-
mission to the house. He has since lived
with his son, Peter Morgan.
Attorney James A. Toomey represents
the complainant.
