SATCH[L AND GEMS
STOLEN UPON CAR
New York Woman Reports Theft
of Jewelry Worth Sl,700
From Her Arm

One of the most daring robberies in
local police annals was perpetrated at
$50 last night on a southbound Lar
kin street car. when a hand satchel
containing IL rings set with diamonds,
diamond brooch. a bracelet set with
diamonds and ss2, the whole valued
at S1,700, was stolen from under the
arm of Mrs. j. I. Petrie of New York,
who is living at the Hotel Adrian,
Hyde and Eddy streets. Mrs. Petrie
did not become aware of the theft
until she reached Eddy street. when
she was Mortified to find the satchel
was gone.
The loss was reported at once to the
police and Detectives O'Connell and Leo
Bunner were detailed to make an in
vestigation, but could find no trace of
the thieves.
Mrs Petrie boarded the car at Sut-
ter street after shopping trip and
had with her several bundles in addi-
ton to the satchel. Being unable to
hold all in her hands she placed the
satchel under her arm. AT O'F'arrell
street, Mrs. Petrie says. she was jostled
by man and woman, but took no
notice of the satchel until she reached
Eddy street and started to get off the
car.

MRS. BIGGY'S SCREAMS
DISTURB THE POLICE
Wife of the Chief Removed
From Husbands Office by
Two PatrOImen

The quiet of the police station was
disturbed last evening by the screams
of Mrs William j. Biggy, wife of the
chief of police. who was removed by
two policemen from her husbands Of
flee, whittier she had gone to ask him
for money for the support of their
young daughter.
Mrs. Biggy dropped in on the chief
unexpectedly q few minutes before 6
o'clock as he was preparing to close
his desk. When Mrs. Biggy refused to
leave the office at the command of her
husband he ordered two patrolmen to
remove her. It was then. that Mrs.
Buggy gave way to her nervous ex-
citement, and startled police headquar-
terS by her screams. Captain Kelly
persuaded her finally to retire to his Of
fee. where she remained until composed
and then departed. Meanwhile Chief
Biggy left the building.
Mrs Biggy was still In a nervous
condition at her home at 1918 McAllis-

"Our little daughter is in need of
money to perfect her education, and l
found that the allowance that my hus-

ficient to meet this requirement. I
went to his Office to ask him for as
sistance, but he would not listen to me.
When L insisted that he should listen
he called two patrolmen and ordered
them to take me out of his office. I
became excited and lost control of nv
self. The welfare of our daughter was
my only reason for calling on him yes

PRINCE HENRY
DRIVES AIRSH|P
ON LONG TRIP
Prussian N0bleman Is Guest of
Count Zeppelin in Sue
cessful Flight
Sits at Steering Wheel and
Guides Movements of the
Big Craft
Expresses Satisfaction and En-
thusiasm in Long Dispatch
to Emperor

FRIEDERICHSHAFEN, Oct. 27.
Prince Henry of Prussia spent several
hours in the air. today as the guest of
Count Zeppelin, who made an ascen-
sion in his remodeled airship at a
comparatively early hour. Not only
did the prince thoroughly enjoy his
experience, but he sat at the steering
wheel for many hours of the fight,
guiding the movements of the craft
and compelling it to execute all kinds
of complicated maneuvers.
Prince Henry's satisfaction with the
great fight was unbounded and he
gave expression to it in telegram
which he sent to the emperor:
Under Zeppelin's guidance 1 felt
just as safe as on my own f1agship"
Captain Mischke was also passen-
ger.
With Count Zeppelin himself at the
wheel the airship rose to an altitude of
600 feet and moving rapidly against
strong wind soon disappeared behind
bank of clouds. Soon messages began
to arrive from the towns in the Rhine
valley announcing the passage OF the
airship, but about o'clock in the aft
ernoon sonorous sound from the sky
indicated that the craft was return
ing. Soon it appeared above the
thronged streets of Constance, where
the prince saluted in acknowledgment
of the ovation from the cheering crowds
below.
After maneuvering above Lake Con-
stance in full view OF the city for some
time, the airship made its way toward
the Swiss frontier, disappearing in the
direction of the Tyrol. 1t returned to
its moorings about sunset.
1t had been originally intended to
make flight of only three hours and
the royal family expected the prince
to lunch at 2 o'clock, but the prince
was so charmed with his successful
aerial flight that he extended the cruise
until he was driven home by approach
ing darkness.
In all the airship carried five men,
two of them being mechanics, and after
some water ballast had been cast off
the airship rose gracefully and was
soon lost in the haze. The Associated
Press correspondent followed it in a
racing motor boat, but was unable to
keep the airship in sight, as it soon
attained speed of 81 miles an hour.
Shortly, however, the airship reap
peared above the lake, emerging from
a cIoudbank like some uncanny visitor
from an unknown world.
Count Zeppelin evidently wished to
show the prince some maneuvering by
the craft, and he descended to about
800 feet from the surface OF the water,
turning from right to left and from left
to right like a well drilled file of SOL
diers. Then suddenly it mounted a
thousand feet and shot into the clouds,
only the mighty hum of its propellers
indicating the course 1t had taken.
