Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. lS-Diamonds,
jewelry, furs. and fine dresses worth
$500 were carried away from the home
of Herbert B. Loeb. 1925 Poplar street.
last Thursday night.
On that same evening. pretty young
girl, Of seeming refinement and good edu-
cation, who had been given a place as
childs nurse in the household as a mat
ter of charity, mysteriously disappeared,
leaving behind her own dresses and ef-
fects
The police conclude that the missing
girl. whose name is George Edna Bible
purloined the valuables. From what has
been learned, the girl is Of a good fam
ily at Belhaven, n. c. Her mother died
and her father was dissipated, so the
child was given over TO the care Of an
aunt. well-tO-dO and ultra-respectable
who reared her as her own.
She was educated in private schools and
in a nunnery, and Travelled in Europe, un-
I'll she was nearly Of age. When the aunt
died the girl did not know what it was TO
work.
Here in Philadelphia she held first one
position and then another, not being at
all successful I'm her employments. When
the Loebs advertised for a child's nurse,
just after the New Year holidays. George
Edna Bible was one of those who an
swered- She told Mrs. Loeb that it was
the first time she had ever worked out,
but that she had 10 do something.
Thursday evening. a week ago. when
the LOebs went out and Edna was left
alone with the children, the girl imagined
she heard burglars. She went TO her suit
case and got a revolver and, taking the
seven-yeaT-old boy with her, made tour
Of the house.
Edna was taken to task about this
Mrs. Loeb declared she did not want any
child's nurse who carried loaded revol-
vers, and gave the girl notice to quit, the
day fixed being last Monday
In her extremity the girl pleaded to
remain, and il was decided she could re-
main until she secured another position
Mr. Loeb and his wife went out last
Thursday evening, and when they re-
turned at $3.50 they found Edna and all
the valuables gone and the house ran
sacked.

OBJECT TO NAVY ORDER.
Alumni OF school ship 81. Marys Air
Their Indignation.

Their Indignation.
New York. Jan 1S.-More than hun
dred alumni of the school ship ST Marys
gathered at the annual dinner tonight
on board the ship at its dock, at the foot
of East TWeny-fOurth street J. c.
Hatzel presided
All the speakers protested against the
order recently issued by the Navy De
,partment by which the navy officer in
command of the ship was relieved from
duty
Richard 3. Alderoft, jr.. chairman Of
the nautical school committee of the
board of education, declared that the
Navy Departments order had filled him
with Indignation.
'eThe order" said Mr.. Alderoft, 'is a
bolt from the beaurOcracy. II the officer
in command Of the St. Marys was a.
surgeon in the navy there would be no
difficulty in his being allowed to com
mand this ship, or any other"
This hit provoked laughter and ap-
plause In conclusion the speaker said
that he hoped that the order would be
rescinded.
Capt r. s. Osborne characterized the
departments action as "an order OF dis
order without sense and without reason. 8"
Other speakers were Congressman Cal
der, of Brooklyn; Charles r. Norman
president of the maritime exchange. Capt
J. W. Miller chairman Of the nautical
committee Of the chamber Of commerce
and Capt George Washington Brown. All
deplored the action of the Navy Depart
ment and all paid high tribute to Com
mander G. c. Hanus, who. until recently,
had L-en ia command of the St. Marys

smile at it and the messengers would
turn their backs on 1t.
Up in the further end of the building
where japanese apprehension is alleged
to originate there is only siumbrous quiet

Rome, Jan. ia recent attempt Of
stonecUtters who were out Of work to
mob the King on visit 10 the Victor
Emmanuel Monument had an interesting
sequel which shows the sympathy Of the
King for workmen. He sent for three OF
the ringieaders and had half an hours
talk with them at the Qulrlnal. where
he promised ne would see TO il personally
that they were not without work any
longer.
= shook hands with them heartily on
parting, and said.

many distinguished persons who usually
come 10 see me. I cannot see why you
should be out Of work. I have recently
personally contributed $4,000 for the re-
pairing Of the Baths Diocletian. and real

The Kings straightforward speech,
which implied considerable more than he
actually said, had an immediate result ia
an official announcement that the facade
Of the Santa Maria Degli Angel close 70

within the next three years.
Despite the formal declaration OF the
new mayor of Rome, Ernest Nathan, who

EARLY FIGHTERS HAD SKILL.
Life of sIugger I'm Ring Was Usually
a short One.


From the Philadeipha Public Ledger.
Although it Is the general impression
that the early champions of the prize
ring lacked skill, il is nevertheless q
fact that some of the early English and
Australian fighters depended just as
much upon their science for success as
they did upon their strength. Clever
men who fought in the London and
Queens5erry rings were much COM
moner than hard hitters-
Unquestionabiy not any of the early
fighters were the equal Of the men OF
the modern school in point Of extreme
cleverness. Fourteen champions OF
England and the world are recorded be-
fore we come to a man who can be ar
cepted as possessing even the Tudi-
ments Of the art Of skillful boxing
Mendoza was the first man tC
assume the orthodox fighting position,
left hand and foot forward, right hand
across the body. in use TO the present
day Yet Mendoza knew nothing Of
the art of retreating and lighting while
going away. Boxing in his day. 1880.
was slow and unskillfuI to q degree
which would seem utter stupidity to-
day.
Spring, who followed CTiD in 1874
must be taken as the elevere5t pugilist
from the inception Of regulation spar
ring and boxing TO the days Of Mace
1860. Spring was the Jim Corbett OF
carly Fistiana. He was skillful.
but could not hit bit. AS wrestling
prevailed in those days. his skill was
not Of as much value as it would be
now. in these days of clean breaks and
no wrestling No doubt he was COM
parativeIy clever, That he could be
called clever in the sense that Corbett
was clever is a matter Of grave doubt
Jem Ward. who followed Spring, was
clever and a hard hitter, but not as
remarkable for the first named quality
as Spring was. Nick Ward, Bendigo,
Tass Parker. Perry, BrOome. and Sayers
were not clever, In Sayers' best days
Nat Lanaham, a clever left-handed
middle-weight, beat him by straight
jabbing with the left Lanaham was
not clever beyond using this straight
left and sticking to it.
Mace was probably the first Of the
very clever boxers Unquestionably his
skill compared very favOrably with
that of Corbett, Ryan, Dempsey, Jack
son, Mccoy and other master taeticians
Of later days A straight hitter with
both hands. a cutting one, too, a man
who never missed an opening and who
was himself very hard TO hit, Mace
must be rated the first really clever
fighter of the ring in a latter-day
acceptation of the term. The fact
that he instructed the Australians how
10 box and the men they sent to this
country in the early '90's proves that
Mace was a wonderfully clever man.
Jackson was the highest exponent Of
the Mace school of boxing. His style
has never been eXCelled. He was one
