NEVER KNEW THIEF CUT
HER STOCKING AND STOLE

Washington, Sept. 21.-After years
of faithful service that has won it a
place In history and in fiction, the
woman's friend-her stOcking-has
outlived it's usefulness as a purse, and
the day Is fast dawning when another
place must be found. At least that Is
the opinion OF Miss Frieda LANCE, who
found hat her stocking had been slit
with g sharp knife and a handkerchief
containing $50 and a draft had been
deftly extracted.
Not even the sensation like that Of
a mosquito fitting about the vicinity
of her "pocketbook" had warned Miss
LANCE that a robber was getting in his
deadly work.

Dates and his wife, Laura. have been
compelled to separate, and this town,

ment that they would not disturb the
town again with their unseemly quar-
reling. No sooner had their names
been blotted than the justice said:

FRiCk MAY BE THE
SUCCESSOR OF ROGERS

New York, Sept. 21.-Men in touch
with Standard Oil plans say there Is
little doubt that II. g. Frick will be the
cOmpany's active manager. The rumor
Of his selection was current some time
ago, and the belief was general that
he FASTENED his return from Europe a
few weeks ago for a conference with
II. H.. ROgars--a conference it has
never been possible to hold owing to
the condition of Rogers health.
Rogers acquaintance say the ter
rife strain under which he spent near
~ all Of his business life makes his
sudden collapse not at all surprising.
Many stories are told OF the remorse-
lessneSs with which he worked, his in
difference TO fatigue and the reckless
ness with which he sacrificed his
health on the altar of commercial ne
CeSSity.
