he had paid out money to weighers for
inspectors and named six Of the weigh

USE BABY As SHIELD TO ROB
STORES.

Two women yesterday demonstrated
at detective headquarters in the Phlladei-
phia city hall how they had useu a
baby in extensive robberies from big
stores. With the baby on her ARM
one of the women would lift goods
from a counter, the baby concealing her
actions from store employees. The goods
were then slipped into the baby's c'otn-
ing, and thus carried away unseen. AS
the women made this demonstration
the baby gazed with wide-eyed wonder
at the big, strange men around her.
Mrs. Agnes Pirk, 50years old, grand
mother OF the child, and the child 5
aunt, AureIia Pirk, % years old, were
the accused women. They have llved
at Lawrence and Popular streets since
they came TO this country a year ago
from Austria. The baby's parents are
still living in Austria.
The women we're arrested yesterday
afternoon in a Market street STORE
At the time, they were carrying the
baby and a valse, and when the de-
tectives, Harmbridge and Scanloh'
arrested them they created a scene
with their screams and attempts 10
faint and arouse the sympathy OF the
detectives.
The vaIise, the detectives say, was
filled with goods, and after search
had been made at the home OF the
women, the officers said they found
enough stolen goods to fill a wagon.
The women said they had been in the
business" only a few days. The
baby will be turned over to the Society
to Protect Children From Cruelty.

HISS ROOsEvRLTIN CHICAGO.

Kisses and pandemonium of dis
approval greeted the mention OF the
name Of Theodore Roosevelt at re-
publican meeting in the Garrick
Theatre, Chicago, yesterday.
Cut out Teddy"
Forget the Roosevelt partP'
No Roosevelt III ours"
These were some Of the cries that
swelIed TO a roar in the most astonish-
ing spontaneous exhibition of public
disapproval seen in Chicago for a long
time. The name Of Roosevelt seemed
a sore subject with the 5000 men who
crowded the theatre.
The gathering was in the interest OF
the republican insurgent or anti-Slate
candidates for the county ticket.
States Attorney Wayman was the prin-
cipal speaker A. F. Nightingale,
seeking the nomination for county
superintendent Of schools, brought on
the storm, closing his appeal to the
voters with these words:
go to the polls next Thursday with
the same enthusiasm you would exhibit
if it were presidential electiOn-go as
though it were another battle between
Bryan and Roosevelt"
Death of Trans-COntinuentai Travellers
Uniontown, Pa, Sept. 10.-Capt.
II. Edwards, 81, of San Diego, Cal,
who left his home April l, 1908, and
drove four angora goats hitched to a
wagon, to New York, and who was
widely known in the west as one OF the
organizers of the cowboy troops Of
cavalry in the early frontier days, died
here today OF pneumonia.
Edwards made the 1920 miles trip
across the continent in 257 days and
last June left New York, intending to
return to California. Between Cumber-
land, Md, and Uniontown in August,
he became i'll and was taken to a local
hospital.
Roosevelt Discusses Columbus Strike.
Columbus, O., Sept. 10.-To a crowd
patroled by regular soldiers from the
Columbus barracks, Theodore ROose-
welt today discussed the Columbus
street car strike which has kept this
city in q turmoil Of excitement and
rioting for weeks.
The failure Of the authorities to sup
press Iawlessness during the strike re-
ceived a bitter excoriation from the
speaker. While Roosevelt shouted
that it was the first duty Of the authori-
ties to end the rioting, Mayor Marshall,
of Columbus, sat beside him on the
platform, in Goodale Park.
Census Figures To Boost License Fee.
New Yoak, Sept. 10.-There is a de-
cided panic among the $500 odd sa-
loonkeepers in Brooklyn over the pros
pect OF an immediate boost in the pres
ent rate of 1915 for their liquor tax
certificates to 1920. The law pro-
vides that when the population OF a
city or borough exceeds 1,50C, 900 the
liquor tax rate shall be 81, 200. Ac-
cording 10 the census figures received
from Washington a few days ago the
population of Brooklyn has reached
| / .634, S51. Just as soon as these
figures are announced officially at Al
bany the liquor dealers will be notified
OF the increase.
