READY TO LOOT PLACE.

The two burglars who got into the
apartment OF Peter Comfort. coal
dealer, on the third floor OF No. 2305
Eighth avenue. this morning, cut out
the glass panel of the door that led into
the parlor OF the Nat from the hallway.
There were three men In the fiat, Com
forti. two Of his workmen, and also his
mother and his two children. All slept
through the delicate operation OF re-
moving the door panel.
The burglars walked In through the
aperture, and then did something that
the police say is unique to the burglari-
Gus craft They proceeded to fasten
the doors of the bedrooms so the Sleep
ers could not disturb them.
First taking up the tro rooms occu-
pied by Comfort and his workmen. they
drove screW-cyc IN the woodwork of
the doors on both sides Of the lock.
Then they ran o clothes-lne through the
screw-eyes until both doors were fas-
tened securely.
Having shut In the three men In this
fashion, they began fastening up the
door Of Mrs. COMFORTS room, where
she was asleep with her little grand
children. They were getting along
nicely when one OF the pair twisted his
flash lantern in such a manner that a
shaft OF lisht penetrated between the
cracks Of the door and fell upon the
closed ewes of Mrs. Comforti. She awoke
with u scream. The grandchildren also
awoke and screamed. Comforti, awak-
cned gave yell and rushed 10 his door
with gun In one hand and fifteen
inches OF cutlery In the other Com
luNls Two WOrkmen likewise awoke,
gathered up their private arsenals and
lsaped for the door.
All three men found themselves roped
In. They yelled and pounded and
kicked, but could not smash open the
door. Their Cllmor, however, aroused
all the neighbors. This, OF course. was
extremely annoying to the burglars,
who We're compelled to forsake their
plans of thoroughly cleaning out Com

10 get AVA, though, before Comforti
succeeded In kicking the door of his
bedroom off the hinges.

it was not until February / that the
jury acquitted Thaw on the ground
of insanity and he was sent TO Mat
teawan.
Here the case logically ended. The
best proof Thaw had given of an an
balanced mind was his disgust at the
mercy of the jury and the court. AS
his own counsel said, he wanted
Judge Bowling to sentence him to a
tenderlOin restaurant. Unwearying
efforts soon secured his removal from
the asylum TO a Jail de luxe in Dutch
ess county. Three supreme court dis
tricts of the state of New York and
two of its appellate divisions he has
wearied with incessant demands, ap-
peals and motions; the courts of the
state of Pennsylvania have not as-
capped the insistence and ingenuity Of
his counsel
Now, Is months after the mercifal
disposition of the case, he is still
struggling for freedom, and to justify
his further detention the seemingly i'm.
possible feat is performed of unearth.
ing fresh testimony of sexual perver-
sion and moral rottenness.
The British courts have recently
shown how murder case involving
wide publicity may be handled. On
July Sir William Curzon Wyllie and
Dr. Lalcala Dhinagri, young HindOo
who, like Thaw, took vengeance iptO
his own hands and assumed the right
of Judge, jury and executioner Dhina-
gri was committed July 10. He was
put on trial July % The facts were
lindisputable. His trial lasted one
hour. No evidence was adduced 81

fact out of court.

Taft said:

Illinois.

A we'll informed observer calls at
tention to the fact that in nine corn
crops the state of Illinois has turned
an income of 81, 152, 900, 900; that while
papers are written about the iron re,
sources of the city of Birmingham
Illinois produces four times as much
iron and steel as all of Alabama and
never mentions it; that the state is
second in petroleum with 3S,O0O.OOO
barrels last year, and few people in
the state know it: and that Chicago
does half as much packing as all the
rest of the country together, and also
makes no fuss about il. Besides that,
with a location on the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers and on Lake Michigan. it
has in prospect more direct lines OF
navigation than any other inland state.
Chicago has more in and out tonnage
than any port of France or OF Ger
many, and more than Liverpool. Those
are facts worth remembering.
