100000 IN JEWELS
STOLEN in PlTTSBURG
ONE $4,000 DIAMOND TAKEN IN
BURGLARY LAST SPRING
JUST MADE PUBLIC.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. ls.-The biggest
diamond and 1ewelry robbery perhaps
in the history of the country occurred
in Pittsburg early last spring, but the
police are only now making II public.
The value Of the gems stolen amounts
to about 100000. yet the police refuse
to make known the name Of the per-
son robbed.
They admit, however, that they are
on the track Of the man or men who
stole one diamond valued at $40 OO0
and enough other jewerly and precious
stones to total the 100000. 1t Is
thought that when the house, which is
said to be situated outside the city.
was robbed last February, the family
was at home.

one quarter carats, on account OF it's
size and its description. il expected

Their resolution is g. ringing one-as

Resolved. That the sale Of intoxi-

the duty of members of the NJ. A. r. ID.

Resolved further, That we recognize
the propriety and justice Of such prop

poses under the disguise of medicinal
or pharmaceutical compounds, and
that the members of the N. A. r. ID.

The white slave traffic in one form
or another, is older than Babylon. but
it has remained for the present age
to see 1t systematized. Clifford @.
Roe, Chicagos youngest assistant
states attorney, is the frst champion
to enter the field to combat this sys-
tenn of slavery and already he has ac-
complished much in the way Of or
ganizing the forces Of society against
the evil.
Mr.. Roe has ideas OF his own, which
he gained from his experience In the
courtroom, about THE white slave
traffic, and he has made UP his mind
that he is going to let the world know
about them. So far the world has
shown itself fully willing to listen to
to discuss his ideas, just little
bothered perhaps that anyone should
stir 1t up SO vigorously.
Mr.. Roe Is "a years old and looks
ten years younger. He is energetic,
earnest, and has all the enthusiasm OF
the young man to whom life is brist-
ling with opportunities. In figure he
is short and slight, and walks with
peculiar springiness, which is In itself
typical OF the innate energy OF the
man. His face Is mobile and express
sive of quick intelligence, while he
is the possessor Of an engaging smile,
which breaks out at unexpected mo-
ments.
Mr.. Roe was born on an Indiana
farm, but his parents brought him to
Chicago when he was years old and
he was educated in the public schools
of that city and afterwards took two
degrees at the University Of Michi-
gan.
Through his warfare against the
white slave traffic he Is known
throughout the nation. He has in
vaded churches. public halls and all
places where men and women meet
together, and he has called upon his
fellows to unite and rise against the
monsters who lure women to destruc-
tion for gold. He Is an orator and a
fluent speaker and the people of the
country will hear something new
from him about white slavery when
he speaks at the national purity con-
gress at Burlington, Ia, Oct. 10.
B. S. Steadwell Of La Crosse, Wis.
president OF the national purity con-
gress, is an ardent admirer OF Mr..
Roe and his work and is especially
pleased that Mr.. Roe is to be present
and discuss this live topic before the
congress.

day be dependent upon q few money
kings is cry often raised by dema-
gogues and others, but the actual facts
show that these vast accommodations
soon become widely distributed and
lost practically all Of their power with
the second generation.
f. H. Hartman left fortune Of APP
proximately $100,000,000. Under his
will the bulk OF it will be divided
among FIVE children and his widow,
with considerable sums going to other
relatives.
H. III. Rogers, who died last spring,
left also approximately $100,000,00O,
and under his win 1t goes to four
children and his widow. Already there
are nine grandchildren TO share in a
further division.
Russell Sage, who died July 20, 1905,
was the only great financier of recent
years to die childless. He lett $66,753-
600, and OF this his widow inherited
S6S,77S. 900. Since his death Mrs. Sage
has spent immense sums for philan-
thropic purposes, and the bulk Of what
she leaves viii on her death go into
the same channels.
Cornelius Vanderbilt left an estate
Of S72,500, 900, and $65,50O,000 was d.
vided in different proportions among
his Ave children. His second son,
Alfred G., got the largest amount,
$44,500, 900, and Cornelius. his eldest
son, the smallest, s1,5OO,OOo, but to
avoid contest Alfred c. gave Cor
nelius $4,000, 900 OF his share.
Jay Gould left 72,000,0O0, and It

George, the eldest son, received the
largest share and the other five chill
dren equal shares. All Of them, with
the exception of Miss Helen. the eldest
daughter, married, and OF the i've who

WHY BLEACH FLoUR7

Reasoning from an entirely different
standpoint--The New York Journal of
Commerce reaches the same conclu-
sion that Pure Food Commissioner
Ladd of this state enunciated months
ago regarding bleached flour. The.
North Dakota commissioner Is not so
much opposed to bleached fiour-if the
people know what they are getting
He demands that--if the miIlers must
bleach their productivity brand it
''bleached"-and not make an effort to
sell it under false pretenses. The New
York publication says:
The somewhat doubtful exercise of
authority by Secretary Wilson of the
Agricultural Department under the
pure food law in requiring milling
concerns to abandon a process for
bleaching -four has led to a controversy
which the courts are to be called upon
to settle. A notice of six months was
given to allow the millers to dispose of
their stock Of bleached flour, after
which they were required to cease us
ing the bleaching process, The notice
expired about three months ago, but
the bleaching did not stop, and now
there have been some seizures Of -four
treated by this process, and the millers
concerned and the company controlling
the patents for the process are raising
a fund to carry the matter through the
courts,
We do not understand that the
bleaching is a distinct injury to the
-four or that 1t makes ii in any way
| injurious to health. To a certain ex-
tent Ii may be deceptive, making the
product appear to be of a higher grade
than it is, and in that case It ought
to be branded for what it is. Those
buying 1t should have the right to
know that 1t is not what 1t seems.
| If the mere color is what they want
rather than the quality, they should
have the means Of knowing just how
they get 1t. But why should they have
preference for color rather than
quality? What is there to justify the
bleaching of wheat flour? It must add
something to the cost, and 1t can hardly
be claimed that it adds to the value.
The supposed preference of consum-
ers for color or lack of color in their
food, a certain green hue in vegetables
and red in fruit, or yellow in butter
has led ingenious producers to try ia
please them in that respect as a way OF
concealing inferiority In the material
used or the quality of their products.
In some cases mere limitations have
been palmed off as genuine articles be-
cause made to look like them. This IL
a proper matter for the law to regulate
for the protection Of consumers against
fraud. The plea that people like their
food for it's looks is not wholly base
less, but 1t may be turned to fraudu-
lent use. The whitest flour is not
necessarily the best, and those who
: prefer the whole wheat, instead of that
from which all the bran has beer
bolted, as more nutritious and whole
some, do not regard the complexion OF
their diet Real justification for bleach
ing wheat flour is hard to discover, bu,
: IL 1t is to be done to please the eye, re.
CARELESS OF the palate or the stomach
It should not be permitted to deceive
Let the flour be branded as "bleached'
: and see how far 1t will be preferred
t then.
