DISGUISED AS HER HUSBAND
Burglar ChIoroforms and Robs a
Woman.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Two robbers, one
of them disguised as the head of the
family so effectually as to deceive the
mistress of the house, invaded the resi-
dence of William Goes in Washington
Heights. They overpowered Mrs. Goes,
tied her to a chair, and chloroformed
her, after which thew looted the house
at their pleasure.
After the thieves had made their
escape Mrs. Goes remained unconscious
for an hour and half. She is seri-
ous1y i'll as a result of inhaling the
drug.
The robbery was the boldest and
most ingenious that has come to the
attention of the police in some time. 1t
is the first visit of thieves to Million
aire HILL as that quarter of Washing
ton Heights is known, since the killing
of a burglar by a citizen several years
ago.
The robbers spent nearly an hour
ransacking the rooms, and found $3.50
in cash.
When Harry. the 12-year-old son, re-
turned from school and discovered his
mothers plight he cut the ropes that
bound her and released the chloroform
soaked handkerchief and helped his
sister in restoring his mother to con-
seriousness.

This man is one of the many humane
employers looking out for the welfare
of his clerks and the satisfaction of his
customers. There are many others
who believe with one department store
manager who wrote to Charities pub
LEGATION committee last year that the
hardships that are publicly believed to
exist are very much exaggerated
Every species of employment has
some drawbacks, but this particular
generally has some special compenSa-
lions Herewith, so that the store clerks
are not unhappy about it and the de-
livery men earn an extra compensation
which is very gratifying to them.
Just before last Christmas a writer In
the Independent, who spent week in
the thick of the holiday rush said: Il
saw girls of seventeen and eighteen
weeping with pain and WEAKNESS at
eleven o'clock at night with shak-
ing fingers they made their counters
attractive against the next days brutal
rush. I saw one young girl drop in
dead faint after selling dolls to a fond
mother of children. 1 saw little boys
fall asleep in rubbish corners at the
noon hour, their untasted luncheons In
their tired hands.
That night when I went to my sup
per, I saw a boy, small for his sixteen
years, sitting on a box before the en-
ployes' elevator, for which We waited.
He looked up at me and with the crav-
ing for sympathy innate in children, he
sighed softly: oh, my God, wish one
o'clock would come
People were buying groceries, wines,
f1annels, dress goods, toys, books, jew
elry, hats, gloves, handkerchief, auto
mobiles-think of it at half past eleven
o'clock at night. December "a! Is the
world indeed heartless and inhuman or
is 1t only needless ?'

CLAIM OF COMMISSIONERS.
Why Demand Of p, B. and w. Com
pany Is Refused.

The Commissioners have been served
with rule to show cause by August
why a writ Of mandamus should not be
issued at the request of the Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Washington Railroad Com
pany requiring the Commissioners to exc
cute the certificate which they have re-
fused to execute, under which the rail-
road company would receive 81, 800, 900 to
be paid by the United States.
The last formal demand for this certif-
cate was made on July 2. and on motion
of Commissioner Mcfarland the Commits
sioners declined to grant it, "for the rea-
son that the Commissioners cannot certify
that the passenger station and terminal
and connecting lines of railroad contem-
plated by said act are ready for occu-
pancy." The Commissioners admitted
that the Union station and the immediate
terminal were ready for occupancy. but
they said In their opinion ''the New Jersey
avenue bridge carrying the avenue over
the right Of way and the substation
should be completed and all grade cross
ings should be eliminated before the con-
Meeting railroads can be said to be ready
for occupancy; In other words, all that
was required by that law for the elmina-
ton of grade crossings to make the con-
Meeting lines Of railroads ready for occu-
pancy must be completed before the Com
mssioners will feel justified in signing a
certificate to the effect that the passen-
ger station and terminal and connecting
railroads are ready for occupancy

The Treasury's Auditing omces.

4oS AIo0Su1y6 AO04I1u8 OWCeS.
To the Editor Of The Star:
And now we hear of another depart
ment that needs more room. The Treas
ury has Its different auditing offices scat
tered all over the city In rented buildings
Why not give 1t q home in the vicinity Of
the main Treasury? That can be easily
done by substituting the auditing onices
instead of the State Department. in the
square lately acquired in the District, and
for once let that poor, knocked-about
tramp of the State Department of the
United States Of America have a home Of
It's own. q roof Of its own and q flag of IL
own. There is no dignity in having the
shoot to this or that building. Now that
that square Is bought. let 1t be: Com
merce and Labor, hall Of records and au-
diting omces-a regular business bee
hive. Justice. too. ought to have its own
home. There IL no reason for doubling up
departments: After while. one Of them
will elbow the other out. Why not build
a Department Of Justice In that vacant
lot with an imitation tombstone In the
corner OF the Belasco Theater, that mars
the view OF the avenue. right In front OF
the Treasury and Executive Mansion?
Another plan would be to build an annex
to the Treasury for its auditing ohices on
that vacant block opposite to It. IL there IL
any objection to crowding It with other
Offices. 1t would thus be in direct COM
munication with its annex and that ugly
eyesore Of q vacant lot would be OBJ
liberated. e. g. BLACKIE

OHIO NEGROES WANT FORAKER
PROF. SCARBOROUGH DISCUSSES
RACES POLITICAL ATTITUDE.
Should Support Taft, He Asserts.
No Hope in Democratic
A@liation.

Prof ". S. Scarborough. president Of
Wllberforce University, Wilberforce.
ONO. just before leaving for New York
city this morning declared that the ne
gro should support the republican ticket
In the approaching national election and
tnat he did not believe there would be
any large detection in the colored vote
because of the Brownsville affair. In his
opinion the democrats will get little sup
port from the colored voters in Ohio.
Il have known Mr.. Taft for years." he
said. Il was present at Yale when we
were graduated. and have known him,
more or less Intimately. since. I knew
his father. I can say that I believe the
former War Secretary will make q good
President.
Taft and the Negroes.
Il regard Mr.. Taft as man OF strong
character and of sincere purposes. His
republicanism is unquestioned. and his at
titude on the race question has, 1 think,
been misunderstood.
Il feel sure that he is a stronger friend
Of the negro than he has been given
credit for being And I am sure that
between him and Bryan Mr.. Taft is to be
pCACiISu d lUOuSduu tlulCo. IL ~&AA' ~ va
should make promises to the negro he
could not fulfill them. for his party would
not permit him to do 50.
View it as we may, the only hope OF
the colored voter lies in his voting the
republican ticket. The party may not be
all we would like to have 1t. but 1t Is the
best of all Of them. 1t Is the only party
with which the negro dare cast his lot.
Condition Of Negro Support.
LAS to Ohio. my home state, conditions
there are greatly mixed, and there is a
possible chance of democratic success be-
cause of dissatisfaction among the col
ored voters. Almost to a man they will
line up for the republican ticket II they
are assured Senator Foraker will be re-
turned to the Senate. With this assur-
ance opposition in that state will largely
fade away. I know Representative Bur-
ton. who is mentioned as Foraker's sue
cessor. He and I were students together
at Oberlin College. and we are members
of the same college fraternity. 1 believe
he would make good senator. But am
for Foraker. believing that his services
for the party entitle him to reelection.
II do not believe that Senator Foraker
will be lukewarm in his support OF the
ticket. He has had fights before in Ohio
and in every instance has supported the
nominees"
