AND ROB ON
: 5TH AVENUE
Two Caught as They Are
Strangling Man In Eve
ming Clothes.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26.--Frank II
Tomlinson. of 107 West Eighty-sixth
street, was attacked by two women
robbers in Fifth avenue, just above
Forty second street, early today, and
was being strangled and robbed when
two detectives. Mugge and Upton, rar
to the rescue and arrested both women
There have been numerous robberies
by women along Fifth avenue during
the last few weeks. and the detective:
had been assigned to watch the high
waywomen. Although a number of ar
rests have been made, the robberies
continued. Several men, 1t is said
have suffered losses, but have not re-
ported their cases to the police for fear
of publicity.
Mr.. Tomlinson, in evening clothes, was
walking down the avenue to take a Sub
way train at Grand Central station, when
two well-dressed young women ran out Of
the shadow of stoop and set upon him.
One of them held him by the throat, and
the second beat him and attempted to
rife his pockets. The women fought like
athletes and dragged Tomlinson into the
areaway of the house at No. 500.
Tomlinson began to defend himself, but
was getting the worst Of the argument
when the detectives appeared. The women
attempted fight, but were easily overtaken
and arrested.
The prisoners said they we're Mary Will
lard, of 80 West Forty.third street, and
Stella Kramer. of 226 West Forty-sixth
street They were taken to police head
quarters, and later arraigned in Jefferson

LAY IT TO COCAINE
NEGRO CLERGY TO WAR ON
USERS OF DRUG.
Grimes for Which Race Is Responsible
in City Due to Pernicious Habit,
Says One Pastor

| The negro pastors of the city are to in.
augurate warfare against the negro co.
caine fiends in this city as they claim that
the use of the drug is becoming epidemic
among the lower classes of the negroes of
Newark. and is spreading into other quar-
ters.
It is the hope of the negro pastors not
only to stop the sale of the drug to
negroes who are disgracing the race by
appearing in the courts as dope fiends, -
but to assist in the prosecution of those
who are arrested for using the drug.
A committee OF pastors, according to DR..
M. W. Vaughan. president of the Baptist
ministers conference, which meets In this
city on each Monday, will be appointed
tc investigate the spread of the use of the
drug among the negroes, and some effort
will be made to check the same. DIR.
Vaughan said today:
Most of the crimes that are being COM
mitted by negroes in this city are by those
who have become crazed from the use OF
the drug and have no control over them
selves"
There are many people who are Of the
opinion that the murder of Louise Liggens
several weeks ago was the work of some
of the cocaine fiends'' who hated her
because she threatened to expose their
doings to the police.
For some time Miss Liggens's work
brought her in contact with the cocaine
fiends, and she labored hard to suppress
the use of the drug among the criminal
element but was unsuccessful
The negro pastors had no knowledge of
the widespread use of cocaine in the
saloons and dives until their return during
the past week from their vacations, and
they now propose to make fight against
the further spread of the use of the drug
Many of the pastors are of the opinion
that the action of the New York police in
chasing the bad negroes out of that city
some time ago Is responsible for the intro
ductIon of the cocaine habit" in this
city as many of the bad negroes who for
time made their home here brought
their dope" layouts with them.
A few Sundays ago there were arranged
in the city courts about twenty-five
negroes who were charged with using the
drug.

SAVED WOMAN.
GETS $4,000
FOR DEED
Railroad Engineers Vaca-
F.. tiOn Proves Highly Prof.
liable to Him

KENDALL, Wis. Sept. 26-John
Franklin. a North Western engineer
running between here and Sparta, has
received check for $4,000 with a
promise of another for saving the life
of a woman at DEVILS Lake, few
weeks ago.
Franklyn, with his wife, was SPEND
ing few days at the lake. At the
same time William Peterson, a
wealthy Chicago man, with his wife,
daughter and Miss Jenkins. a 81
in-law, was also encamped at the lake.
One morning. while out in a boat The
girl and Miss jenkins rowed over to a
spring to get drink. As Miss Jenkins
attempted to get back into the boat she
slipped, falling into the water.
The impact drove the craft from
shore, and, although she managed to
seize hold of the boat, she could not
draw herself from the water. For an
hour she held grimly to the boat, while
her niece cried for help. TO loosen her
grip meant death. for the water was
more than fifty feet deep at that place.
Franklin discovered the plight Of the
woman and rescued her from her peril
Gus position just as her strength was
about failing her. Miss Jenkins was
one of the few &ho escaped from the
Iroquois Theatre holocaust in Chicago,
and says she fears she Is to die vio-
lent death.
Although one Of the oars had been
lost, one remained in the boat, and had
either woman or child retained her
presence of mind the boat could have
been padded to shore.

SHE TAKES VACATION
AFTER ALMOST DYING, AN
ME NEEDS A REST.
Domestic Saved from Death by Mistress,
Abuses Latter and Is
Arrested.

That Annie Connors, 46 years old, a
domestic for Mrs Louis N. Davis, of
257 Washington avenue, was not as
phyxiated last night was due to
prompt action on the part of Mrs.
Davis, who detected gas flowing from
the domestic's room, and promptly
opened doors and windows and revived
the partially unconscious woman.
Mrs. Davis also found that her house
hold assistant was considerably under
the influence of drink, because as soon
as Annie began to realize that she was
alive she began to abuse Mrs. Davis.
The latter called in a policeman and
Annie took a ride to the Second Pre-
cinct Police Station.
This morning Armies was perfectly
sober when she was arraigned before
Acting Judge Oehring, and also very
forgetful of the fact that she had ever
been arrested before. The acting Judge
proved to her that she had been ar
rested several times, but Annie in
quired:
well, what matter If I wasp
Just this much" replied the court.
that you will have to pay a fine of $5
or go to jail for fifteen days."
well, I've got SIS in me pocket" re-
piled the woman, but think I'll keep
it and take the fifteen days vacation. :.
Mrs. Davis explained to the Judge
that the woman asked for 50 of her
wages yesterday afternoon and went
out. Mrs. Davis did not know she had
returned until she smelled the gas from
the woman's room.
Miss Connors said Mrs. Davis was a
good woman for saving her life, and
that maybe it was the gas that made
her feel like taking the fifteen days
rest.

strain the child, but the father had lift
