THIEF DODGED SHOTS
MILKMAN SAW BURGLAR
WORKING ON WINDOW.
Tells Policeman Who Draws a Bead on
Man Who Scales Fence, Elud-
ing Pursuit. ii

An attempt to enter a residence In
Thirteenth avenue early this morning
was frustrated by a milkman, and the
burglar, who was seen busily gas
at a window, was put to flight and
scaped by vaulting a fence, while a
policeman was shooting at him.
The attempt was made to break into
the home of William Beslen, at III
Thirteenth avenue at 5 o'clock, whiles
the members of the family were all
still sleeping. A milkman was driving
along in hat neighborhood, leaving
bottles of milk for his customers, when
he espied a man about to climb into a
window.
The purveyor of lacteal fluid sat up
and took notice. He met Policeman
Theobold, of the Fourth Precinct Sta
ton, and Theobold called upon Police
men Hanley and Faraher, who were
patrolling their posts in the neighbor-'
hood. The policemen ran to the Beslen
residence, Inc Theobold got there in
time to see the burglar scale a fence
and make good his escape.
The policeman fired several shots at
the fugitive as soon as he saw him
trying to get away, but the shots did
not halt the man, and a careful search
failed to locate him.
Ar examination of the Beslen prem
ises showed that the burglar had been
detected before he had succeeded in
forcing open the window through which
he intended to enter.

LONG TRIP ENDED,
SECRETARY STRAUSS VISIT
to HAWAII.
Undertaken to See How Department Ma
chinery Works-His Views of Coast !.
Trade and Japanese immigration.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE visit
of Secretary Straus to the Pacific coast,
Including the Hawaiian Islands, has
been a most enjoyable one, and is likely
to lead to practical results. A firm be-
lever in The idea. that the vast inter-
ests entrusted to his safekeeping could
not be entirely administered from his
desk in Washington, the Secretary de-
termined to make a personal inspection
of the workings OF the department
away from the capital. and to become
personally acquainted with the various
officials having supervision. FL ac-
cordingly planned a trip along the Ca
madam border to Vancouver. n thence
south through Seattle and Portland to
San Francisco, with Honolulu as the
ultimate destination.
He returned to Washington today.
and talked freely about his experiences,
especially those in. the Hawaiian
Islands. When he arrived at Honolulu
the islanders were out in force to greet
him and his party. The presence of
Representative and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth added to the warmth of
the demonstration.
At a dinner given to Mr.. Straus by
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce,
the policy of the government in rela-
ton to the islands was touched upon.
L. A, Thurston, speaking in behalf of
the merchants and planters, described
certain commercial disadvantages re-
.sulting from annexation, laying partieu-
lar stress upon the necessity for a mod
ifioation of the coastwise shipping laws
applying to the islands, which penal
ize the carrying of passengers and
freight between the territory and the
mainland of the United States in other
than American bottoms. Owing to the
~infrequency with which vessels of that
description stop at Honolulu, Mr..
Thurston declared that large quantities
of fruit rot upon the wharves while
awaiting shipment, and that the same
lack Of transportation facilities acts as
a peculiar hardship upon residents Of
the territory who were often obliged,
as a result of illness or pressing imam
cial matters, to leave for the United
States on a. vessel of foreign registry
and thereby incur the fine of 5000 which
our navigation laws impose.

AFFINITY or
EARLE SURE
SHE'S RIGHT
Says if World DisapprOyes
of Arrangement It Is
to Be Pitied.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Ferdinand
Pinney Earle, whose unique matrimo-
nial arrangements have brought him
much notoriety, returned to his place
in Monroe late yesterday. He was ac-
companied by his mother. The village
people made no attempt to disturb him,
but his homecomingNis a fruitful sub
ject of discussion among the people to-
day.
Earle declined to discuss his affairs
any further at present, but another de-
fensive statement Is published, credited
to Miss Julia Kuttner, the young
woman Earle intends to marry as soon
as his wife, now on her way to France,
secures a divorce. The salient points
Of this effusion are embodied in the
following extracts:
1T was, of course, natural for those who
did not understand, to feel a great deal
of sympathy for Mrs. Earle. but as she
has always stated that she was entirely
happy and eontented, as can also be seen
from hen published letter and friendly at
titude throughout, such sympathy is now
out OF place.
Already about a year and half ago
Mrs Earle had the intention to return TO
her parents in Paris on ccoun of the evil
dent incompatibility that existed between
her and her husband, but, as neither she
nor Mr.. Earle could bear parting from
their child the separation was postponed.
Mrs. Earle never felt really at home I'm
America and her frequent trips abroad
made her even more homesick than before.
ut was only because Mr.. Earle and
AT-a Ira-I.f. f.~atI z-xrA no ~ thfa
existing misunderstanding that I agreed to
accept Mrs. Earl's invitation to com to
her home at Monroe with any brother 70
consider the situation. At first I thought
seriously of the possibility Of bringing
these people together and of healing the
breach between them, for I seemed to un-
derstand both their temperaments and the
cause of friction between them.
"Only when Mrs. Earle herself In the
middle of the night came to my room and
assured me very seriously that in spite OF
their combined effofts It was impossible for
them to live in happiness and that she pre-
ferred TO return to her parents, did l
definitely think Of marrying Mr.. Earle.
I had up to then been In the house for a
full week, and both T and my brother saw
what their lncompatibility was too deep
rooted to be s~urmounted.
You know, most Of you. II you Will
acknowledge 1t. that when a man and
woman are bound together by a tie they
fear to break. but are actually as far
apart as the poles-when there Is not the
psychological union that is the only r
~uHion-then they are SHINING every min
ute they permit their bonds to remain
unbroken.
I'm spite of the awful notoriety and the
abuse that has been poured out on us,
1 do not regret a single step we have
taken. We have been absolutely honest
with ourselves and with each other. and
If the world is SO hypocriticai as to CON
denim us. we can only be sorry for the
world" ~
