ARRESTED FOR THEFT
OF $165, 900 IN GEMS
New Yorker Who Stole Diamonds and
Pearls Worth Fortune is
Caught in San
Francisco
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S.-One
years freedom with wealth was all that
j. Edward Burke, a New York jeweler
got for theft of pearls and diamonds
that aggregated $165. 000 for he was
arrested last night as he walked out
of a McAllister street saloon The pris-
oner at first denied his identity, but
when taken to headquarters and con-
fronted with his photograph admitted
he was the man for whom the detec-
tiveS were searching.
Burke had desk room in the offices
of Marcellus & Pitt on Broadway,
New York. and had access to the stock
of gems which this large house handled.
Many magnificent pearls were being
imported for the Chinese government
and Burke managed to make way with
$50 900 worth of these in addition to
pearls and diamonds the value of
which amounted to $165,000. He disap-
peared last May and as soon as his
absence was discovered an investiga-
ton was begun which disclosed the
astonishing total of his stealings.
Circulars were Immediately issued
and substantial rewards offered for his
apprehension. One of these circulars
reached the local police and it was
on the strength of the portrait there de-
picted that Burkes arrest was made
The prisoner violently protested when
told that he was in custody, but ad-
mitted later that his name was Burke
and that he was fugitive from New
York. Since his flight he has jour-
neyed widely and has been to China,
having returned from the Orient re-
Gently. It was his intention to go back
to the far east on the next steamer.

HONEST BLACKSMITH is
AGAIN CHOSEN MAYOR
Aristocratic Suburb of New York Rolls
up Big Majority for "Jim"
RiIey-Women Aid in
the Campaign
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-"Honest
JIM Riley, the village blacksmith of
North Pelham, one of New York's must
popular suburbs, was reelected presi-
dent of the village precinct for the
third time by the largest majority he
has ever received.
The women and children of the viii
lage made an enthusiastic campaign In
his favor, the reason for their activity
being that Riley organized uniforme
police force and rid the town of toughs,
who formerly congregated on the street
corners and made insulting remarks at
women. They met every train into
North Pelham yesterday, and no COM
muter escaped them before he had been
to the polls and cast his vote. When
the result was announced a great
crowd of people, including many wom-
en- and girls, marched to the Smithy
and cheored Riley to the echo.
When Riley was first elected the VIII
lage was heavily in debt. He has paid
off every cent of it and there is snug
balance in the treasury. He refused to
announce a platform or make any
promises. Aristocratic Pelham has been
inclined to scoff at the unlettered black
smith, but his sterling honesty, force
of character and executive ability have
been so clearly demonstrated that many
of the wealthy residents lined up for
him at the polls yesterday.
His political success has made no
change in the blacksmith. He works at
his anvil every day.

LAKEWOOD, N. j., March 1S.-
Former President Grover Cleveland
spent the seventy-first anniversary of
his birth with his wife and children
at Lakewood hotel here today. He was
in high spirits and appeared to be
in good health.
"I have not felt so we'll in many a
day." said Mr.. Cleveland as he walked
in the lobby of the Lakewood hotel.
'Why, 1 took a longer walk today
than 1 have taken in months. / feel

better physical condition than 1 have
been for long, long time"
Mr.. Cleveland started out in the
morning with a brisk stride. First he
went to his cottage, the White house.
took a long walk around the lake,
finally returning to his hotel
Mr.. Cleveland has undoubtedly lost
great deal of flesh, but his medical
advisers say he is now in better health
than he has been for some months.
The former president has come here
to recuperate, and the length of his
stay depends entirely upon the con-
dition of his health.
"How about the national questions
of the Democratic party?" Mr.. Cleve-
land was asked.
He made it plain that he did not
care to discuss political issues.
"I don't see what l can say that
will be of public interest" he said to
one of his friends.
From all parts of the country con-
gratulatory kilograms are coming in.
Hundreds of these have gone to Prince
ton, as their Senders did not know of
his visit to Lakewood.

BIG STEAMERS CRASH;
HOLE CUT MLINER
Transatlantic Vessel Rammed During
Fog in New York Harbor.
Passengers Escape
injury

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-While the
great transatlantic liner Kron Prinz
Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd
line lay at anchor in a thick fog off
Staten island today, the steamer Crown
of CASTLE ran into the liner and tore
hole more than ten feet in diameter
in the overhanging stern.
The bow of the Crown of CASTLE
penetrated the stewards quarters on
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm to a distance
of about fifteen feet, but no one was
injured. Water tight doors on the
hull of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm were
completely closed, but it was quickly
acertained that she had suffered nc
damage below the water line, and after
wait of several hours for the fog
to tighten she proceeded to her dock
in Hoboken.
The Kron Prinz Wilhelm arrived
from Bremen at a. m. today carry
ing 392 passengers. She anchored off
quarantine station to wait the visit
of the health officers, and after in
spection started from quarantine to
come up the harbor to her dock.
When the liner left quarantine the
fog was not thick enough to prevent
a good vision of the harbor, but the
steamer had proceeded only about two
miles when the mist closed thickly
about her and Captain Nierrich
brought the ship to a stop and an
chored off Robins reef to await the
lifting of the fog.
Fog bells were rung on both the bow
and stern of the liner to warn other
vessels of her presence, but the steam
er had been at anchor only five min
utes when the quartermaster on the
after bridge telephoned to the captain
that a steamer was coming up astern,
headed directly for the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm.
Captain Nierrich promptly ordered
the chain slipped and the engine start
ed ahead and the water tight doors of
the steamers compartments closed.
There are forty-eight of these doors
and they were closed in just fifteen
seconds The big steamer was just
gathering headway when the Crown of
CASTLE struck her fairly in the stern,
penetrating the overhanging and tear
ing a triangular hole fifteen feet wide
and ten feet long through the steel
plates. The shock of the blow was
only slightly felt on board the big
liner and the two vessels quickly sep
arated.
Both came to anchor again and lay
there for several hours until the fog
lifted, when they proceeded to their
docks.
