Regarding the lands beyond about ten miles out west, he says there has been more grain planted than any year for ten years or possibly ever before.

BURGLARS GET LITTLE AT
SECRETARY KNOX'S HOME.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-So far
as can be learned nothing of great value
was taken from the home of Secretary
of State Phllander C. Knox, at Valley
Forge, when 1t was broken into by
burglars last Thursday night. The fact
that a burglary had been committed
was withheld by the police of Mont
go1nery county.
Mr.. Knox was informed of the affair
but did not consider it important
enough to make a personal ~investiga-
ton. The house had been closed for
the winter and the family took the
usual precautions against fire and
burglars and all valuable silverware
and jewelry had beer removed.
James r. Tindle, Mr.. Knox's son-in-
law, today denied there had been a
burglary. There was nothing in the
nature Of a robbery he said, land
consequently no theft of state papers.
A tramp got into the cellar and was
found by the caretaker and driven
away. Mr.. Knox does not keep state
papers in his house."

GEM THIEF
RODE AWAY IN BIG AUTO
JanitOr of North Ninth Street House, Where JeweIry Salesman's
Home Was Looted of 1900 in VaIuabes, Tells Police
He Saw Stranger in Red Touring Car.

Than the thief who looted the apart
ment OF Max Blau at 68 North Ninth
street and secured jewelry worth over
$1,500 may have come to the house In
a big red touring car, which he left
standing in front of it while he col
lected his booty. is a theory upon
which the police of the Fifth Precinct
are working. If it is discovered that
the lone occupant Of the big red car
was implicated in the jewelry robbery
of yesterday many of the mysterious
robberies of the past few months which
have up to the present time remained
unsolved may be partially explained.
Mrs. Blau left the house to make
some calls yesterday and was gone for
several hours. 1t was during her ab-
sence that the house was robbed. John
Harris, janitor of the North Ninth street
apartment house, declared that a big
red touring car with q strange man at
h wheel and no other passengers
drew up in front of the house. Most
of the tenants in this house are in
prosperous circumstances, and some of
them automobiles, but Harris
knew it was a strange machine. He
had seen it two or three times in front
of the house at about the same hour,
but never had he seen any of the
tenants ride up or depart in it. Always
the lone man at the wheel was the
sole occupant of the car. The car stood
in the street ~unoccupied for an hour
and a half. Then the stranger came
out of the house and rode away.
When Mrs. Blau returned she dis
covered that the front door to the
apartment had been forced open with
a Jimmy. She investigated and found
that the bedroom had been turned
1cpsy-turvy. She sought a neighbor
and the two women returned to the
looted apartment. An inventory showed
that jewelry valued at s1,561 had been
taken. Mrs. Blau was greatly relieved
to find that a humidor filed with jew
elry worth several thousand dollars
had been overlooked by the thief.
Blau was a jewelry salesman and
was out of town when the robbery oc-
CURED. His inventory today showed
that his wife's estimate of their loss
was about the proper one. Strangely
enough, none of the other apartments
in the house were entirely vacated, and
the thief must have worked rapidly and
noiselessly to gain entrance to the
Blau apartment. Apparently the front
door yielded to the first wrench of the

WARNING FLAT NEIGHBORS
CARRY TROUBLES TO COURT.
Wise Judge Effects Truce and
PrayS Ii Will Last.

The troubles of tenants of the apart
ment house at 81 Rose terrace culm;-
mated today in the Fourth Precinct
Court, when Mr.. and Mrs. John Koel-
lish and Mrs. Elizabeth Eberlein APP
peared to make complaints against
each other.
Judge Herr listened to their stories
and sent the applicants away with TIE
advice to patch up their differences
among themselves. He learned that
both parties to the feud We're bound to
the house by leases, OF that otherwise
wild horses could not hold them there.
1t seems that Mrs. Koellish and Mrs.
Eberlein never were very intimate, and
one day recently the butcher asked
Mrs. Koellish If she would mind taking
home a veal outlet to Mrs. Eberlein.
Mrs. Koellish said she certainly would
mind and some more things about Mrs.
Eberlein, which the butcher was in
discreet enough to tell Mrs. Eberlein
What Mrs. Eberle1n aid in reply
reached Mrs. Koellish's ears.
Later Mrs. Eberlein says she saw
Koellish kick her poodle dog, and when
she demonstrated she declares he
called his wife, who threatened to
knock her head off. AS Mrs. Koellish
is near the 2OO-pound mark, while Mrs.
Eberlein weighs about half as much,
she seemed capable of making good her
threat.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Koellish walked
up to the judge today and said they
wanted 20 make a complaint against
Mrs. Eberlein the latter arose from one
of the benches n said: Judge, that's
my name, and I want to make a COM
plant against these people,
So it went on; but Judge Herr
exerted all his wiles as a peacemaker.
and is hopeful that the truce just
established will last until one of the
leases expires.
