Biggest Burglary in Richmond
In Years at ComStock
Home.
LOSS WILL REACH $1,000.
BURGLARS THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN TWO IN NuMsER-PoLIcE
HAVE BUT AsVAepE GLUE IN
THE CASE.

Thieves entered the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Comstock, 76 South
Fourteenth street last evening about
7:3O O'Clock and stole silver plates, sill
yer tableware and jewclry valued at
approximately 81 900. 1t wGs the big
gest deal that has been put through by
burglars in this city for many years.
The Comstocks were not at home at
the time. Entrance was gained by pry-
ing open pantry window. The police
have only a vague clue as to the per-
petrators Of the robbery, who are be-
lieved to have been two in number.
There is some suspicion that the same
person who was involved in the rob-
berries at the Henry U. Johnson home,
and that attempted at the John Rob-
bins home and several other places.
The methods pursued were similar to
those used at the P. ]. Freeman and
Clarence Kramer homes.
After entering the house, the thieves
went into the dining-room and confis-
Gated all the silver plates and table
ware. So thorough was the work car
ried on that nothing was overlooked
and today the family had to buy new
silverware in order to eat it's meals.
Drawers in the china closet and buffet
were opened and the contents dumped
into the plunder bags.
Leaving the dining-room, attention
was turned by the thieves to the bed
rooms upstairs. The room of Mr.. and
Mrs. Comstock was ransacked as thor
oughIy as the dining-room. Nothing
was overlooked. The smallest stick pin
that might have any value at all was
picked up. Drawers were opened here
and the contents thrown about the
floor, while the search for articles of
value that might be carried away easily
was continued.
An inventory taken Immediately
showed the following to be missing:
dishes, three or four small silver
dishes. fourteen silver knives, twenty
four silver forks, four dozen silver
spoons, five silver butter knives. one
dozen silver salad knives, one dozen
fish knives, one-half dozen silver ta-
BILE spoons, three dozen coffee spoons,
and several fancy spoons. all taken
from the dining-room. From the bed
room the following articles were Sc
cured: One ruby ring, five stones;
one ruby and diamond ring, one tur-
quoise ring, one sapphire ring, two
small finger rings, pearl heart, one
ladys gold watch chain. gold watch
chain. one gold pencil, one Royal Le-
gion ensignia pin, sapphire stick pin,
an opal stick pin, one horse head, two
or three small stick pins, a lady-s
watch. red enamel. under gold. a gold
and sapphire stick pin. a gold necklace
one corral collar and lot of trinkets,
and two silver bread plates. The exact
value of the above is not known but
will amount to several hundred dol
| lars. All of the silverware was mark
ed E. W. w. The other articles did
| not have such distinguishing marks.

State Organization Appeals to
All Germans to Support the
Democratic Ticket in This
State.
LETTERS HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED IN RICHMOND.
Are Written in Both German
And EngIish-AppeaI Made
To Sustain Personal Lib
erty.
(By Harper.)

And now comes the executive COM
mittee Of the Alliance of German So
cieties or Indiana to the rescue OF
Thomas Marshall and the liquor inter-
ests in the present campaign. This exc
cutive committee has sent circular let
tiers broadcast throughout the state
urging all members of the organization
to support the Democratic ticket. The
Democrats are crying coercion, but
what about this letter which attempts
to use a fraternal organization to adj
vance political ends?
The Palladium has been made a reci-
pient of one of these letters by Ger
man voter, who stands for county local
option. He became indignant at the
evident misuse of the Alliance of Ger
man societies name to bring support
to Marshall and the Democratic ticket,
and turned the letter over to the Pal
ladium for publication. With it he
sent the following note:
Here Is something worth printing,
which shows the Democratic party's
desire to have the county local option
law repealed. This was mailed to a
German. but not the kind spoken of in
the letter. but on the contrary one who
stands for county local option and
statewide prohibition as soon as it is
possible to get it,
Each letter sent out by the executive
committee is written In both the Eng
lish and German language. One is on
the reverse side of the paper to that
bearing the other. The context Of the
two Is Identical.
The letter itself follows:

indianapolis, Sept. 81, 1908.

Indianapolis, sept. II, lSOS.
Dear Sir and Countryman:
The Alliance of German societies of
Indiana hereby calls your attention to
the Importance of the coming election.
We send you, inclosed. copy of the
resolutions. which were adopted by the
convention of the Alliance last August.
We beg you to read them carefully, SO
that you be informed of the position
which the Alliance has taken.
We further send you copy of the ad-
dress with which Mr.. Joseph Keller,
president Of the Alliance. opened the
convention, and copy of an address,
which Mr.. Philip Rappaport delivered
at the celebration of the German Day
in Fort Wayne, and request you to read
them with care and attention.
You will learn therefrom how neces-
sary it is for us Germans to stick to-
gether, SO as not to be robbed of our
personal liberty. The county prohibi-
tion law, passed in the extra session
of the legislature, must be repealed.
The passage of this law was made pos
sible only by the commission of a
crime against the principle of popular
government. by taking the decision out
of the hands of the people. Nothing
else remains for us, but to elect, for our
state, Democratic officers and a Demo
cratic legislature. The presidential
election has nothing to do with our
special cause and we will neither ad-
vice nor dictate to you in reference
to il.
We Germans, who know how to live
and what is good for us and what is
not. and who resent the idea of being
forbidden our glass of beer by fanatics
and zealots. must work together, and
we hope that you will stand by us in
this struggle and that you will work
Tor our cause among your friends.
With German Greetings,
JOS. KELLER. Pres,
PHIL. RAPPAPORT, Sec,
FRITZ FRANCKE, Treas
The executive committee of the Alli-
ance OF German Societies of Indiana.
Gompers Repudiated.
Up at Wabash, Ind, the Central
Trades Union has repudiatcd Samuel
Gompers, and the Democratic party.
The Democrats published a full page
advertisement in a newspaper announc-
ing the coming of Gompers. The call
was signed by the Central Trades I'm
ion. The union now has come forward
with statement that the use of the
name was forged and without author
ity. The advertisement appeared in a
paper printed in rat" shop, the same
place where all the rest of the Demo-
cratic campaign matter at Wabash has
been printed. including the speeches of
Thomas Marshall, the bills advertising
his meeting and the programs. The
Central Trades Union is incensed at
the attitude OF the Democrats in turn
ing down union for rat shops when
they are making such play for labor
votes via public speeches, etc.

CASES IN SUPREME COURT

The hearing OF two interesting
cases will come up on Monday before
the Territorial Supreme Court. The
first is that of Stuart TAFT, the origi-
nator of the moving picture house In
this city,, against Treasurer A. j..
Campbell TAFT, through his attor-
ney, T.. C. Peters, complains that he
has been forced to pay So day for
license to run his show. The law
in the case provides for this license
TO be paid for each performance"
and Peters claims Taits show cannot
come under this head. 1t is asked
that the court issue an order to the
Treasurer compelling the refunding
of the money which has been paid.
If the contentious of the Treasurer
are upheld 1t will mean the probable
closing of the many moving-picture
houses. The fee is so high that 1t is
practically impossible for the little
places, charging only five and ten
cents admission, to pay expenses. II
not compelled to pay the license,
however, they may be run at good
profit. The case was taken up direct
ly from the District Court of Homo
lulu, where the law was upheld by
Judge Andrade, that test case
might be carried through as quickly
as possible.
Another case which will come up
on Monday is that of c. S. Holloway,
the ex-Superintendent of Public
Works, against Cecil Brown, executor
of the Campbell Estate. The suit is
for $13S.50 for sewer rates from De-
cember 81, 1902, to January 80,
1904. The law is attacked on tech
meal grounds and was brought be-
fore the Supreme Court in the same
manner as the TAFT suit. The sewer
rate which is demanded is for the
property on Queen street known as
the Campbell block.
