CRACkSMAN ESCAPES WITH WATCHMAN IN
 HOT CHASE
Attempt on Flather Home Frustrated by .Vigilant Watch Dog.

Frustrated in an attempt to burg larize the home of B. G. Flather, at 176 Grove street, by the vigilance of a watch dog, burglar narrowly escaped arrest, at the hands of Special Policeman O'Leary, a night watch through the streets near Flather' S home in the early hours, this morn ing. &
 MT. and Mrs. Flather were aroused at 1 o'clock by the barking of their dog. They paid little heed, however, thinking the disturbance was a. sort of canine salutation to the watchman. But, short time later, the watch man reached the house, and walking about it as usual, found one of the windows on the ground floor wide open. Making an examination, he found the window had been pried open, and he immediately aroused the inmates of the home.
 An examination hastily made failed to bring any cracksmen to light, and O'Leary at once set forth to SCOUT the neighborhood for suspicious char a acters. When he reached Wood ave- nue, near Elmwood avenue, he espied a loiterer in Q shadow. As he ap- preached, the man took to his heels. O'Leary started in hot pursuit, but the fugitive was the feeter, and when he reached Park avenue, he turned the corner and vanished before O'Leary could overhaul him.
 Two men arrested in the same To- cality last evening as suspicious char acters told their stories to Superin- tendent Birmingham and were re- leased. They were canvassers, work ing overtime taking orders, at about 10 o'clock at-night. They. gave their names as Ebert Wainwright, 933 Hancock avenue, and Albert McGov- ern Meridan.

IIN THE THEATRES
POLI'S

It will come in the nature of 9 plea sant surprise to local patrons of Polls theatre to learn that Manager Poll will shortly offer here the famous Pe- ter, born monkey but made himself a D1an. Peter is the nearest approach to a human that has ever been exhibit ed. He stops at the best hotels, walks in and signs the register when he ar- rives in town kicks with the waiter if his food is not properly served or; if it displeases him, runs an ahtemo-i bile and motor boat both of which have licenses issued in his own name, wears the regulation coat pants and vest, smokes cigarettes, drinks booze and finally gives the most marvellous stage performance that an animal has ever shown. Peter commands big salary, so large in fact that Manager Poli is the only manager outside of the larger cities where the price of ad- mission is one dollar, who has the courage to book him. In New Haven last week Peter broke all records for attendance and is doing the same in Scranton this week. Incidentally Peter is very anxious to play here for he Is a personal friend of Mayor Bucking- hams having attended the Red Mems banquet in New Haven last week and having had a long chat with Bridge ports chief executive. He has been invited to call at the city hall and that will be one of his first social visits when he arrives here.
 This weeks bill at Poli's is smash ing records again from the attendance standpoint and every one is talking about Princess Rajah and her wonder full Egyptian dance. No more grace ful terpischorean exhibition has been seen in vaudeville here and several curtain calls is her share of commen- dation at each performance.

6 KILLED AND 40 INJURED IN
 MINE BLOW=UP
Cause of Explosion Said to
 Be Miner Lighting Gig arctic Contrary to Rules.
(Special from United Press

Mexico City. Feb. 3.-Sixty-three miners were killed and between 30 and 40 injured in the Palau mine at Los Esperanzas, according to the latest re- ports received here today
 Fifty-two bodies have been brought from the mine and rescuers are now exploring the lower levels to find oth- CTS supposed to have been killed by the explosion. The injured have al- ready been taken from the mine. The mer killed were working on the third level. It was six hours after the ex- p1osion before rescuers could reach the level and then they were compelled to work cautiously because of the gases and foul air in the tunnel A great number of dead were found in the main tunnels.
 The first effort was to get the in- jured to the surface. Little groups of men were found huddled behind walls that protected them from the poisonous gases. After these had been taken out, the bodies of the dead were removed.
 Most of the dead were suffocated, very few bodies showing the mark of flames. Many of them had evidently struggled to reach places of safety and efforts to fight their way through the dark passageways. It is said that the explosion was caused by a miner lighting cigarette. Most of the min CTS were Mexicans and Japanese.

WIFE MAY BE HELD FOR HUSBANDS
 MURDER i.
TRIAL OF HATTIE LEBLANC, CHARGED WITH KILLING WEALTHY LAUNDRYMAN IN WALTHAM, EXPECTED TO RE- VEAL HIDDEN PLOT.
Especial from United States.)

Especial from United States.)
 Boston, Feb. 3-Direct charges that Clarence F. Glover, the wealthy Wal than, Mass, laundryman. was mur- -dered as the direct result of a plot formed by his wife, Lillian M. Glover, to get his estate, are expected to be developed here this afternoon when either Mrs. Glover or Hattie Leblanc, who is held for the killing. will take the stand in a contest of the will be- fore the East Cambridge Probate court.
 Specification of the charge, which he made in open court that Mrs. Glover was responsible for her husbands s murder. was made by Attorney J. J. Scott for the will contestants as fol- lows:
 'That Lillian M. Glover, for a period of two years before April IT, 1909. the time Clarence F. Glover executed the will. at various times did threaten to kill him and he was in bodily fear by reason of said threats on the part of Lillian M. Glover, and that the said Lillian M. Glover, by fraud and undue influence. induced Charles F. Glover to execute the said will, and that after the 17th of April the said Lillian Glover caused the death of Clarence the property of Clarence F. Glover, ct forth in said instrument purporting to be his wills
 Never, since the trial of Hattie Le- Blanc for shooting Glover in his laun- dry where the two had met clandes- timely, has there been advanced a suf- ficient apparent motive against the girl for the alleged deed. If she did kill Glover it was because of Mrs. Glovers arts. is what Attorney Scott hopes to show and the Leblanc girl will testify either today or tomorrow.
 Mrs. Glover, however. is likely to be the first witness. Just what line her testimony will take is not yet an- nounced by Samuel Elmere, her coun- sel, who is also an executor of the dis puted will. Great interest has been aroused in the case and a record crowd is expected when the two women face each other in the same courtroom.

OFFICERS MUST RETIRE:
Fourteen More Vacancies Are Necessary
To Comply With Law

To comply with the provisions of the
naval personnel law, forty vacancies
are required each fiscal year in the
various naval grades above Junior
lieutenant. Twenty-six vacancies
have been created since July l last
by deaths and retirements.
If there are no applications for re-
tirements within the next few days,
it will be necessary for the wedding
out board to select fourteen officers
for retirement. But it is expected
that there will be number of appli-
cations before that time. In 1905
there were no applications for retire
ment, and the board had to compul-
sorily retire fifty-five officers. That
number included two captains, fifteen
commanders and thirty eight lieuten-
ant commanders.
Last year there were thirty-three
vacancies up to the time the elimina-
| tion board met. Five captains and
three commanders applied for volun-
| tary retirement, and it became neces-
sary to cOmpulsorily retire nine more
| officers. This was done by selecting
five captains, one commander and
three lieutenant commanders.
In 1908 there were no forcible re
tirements. There were fourteen va
cancies to be made in that year, anC
there were sixteen applications. Nine
| captains and five commanders were
placed on the retired list. Fifteen
officers were forcibly retired in 1907
five captains, four commanders
four lieutenant commanders and tive
lieutenants. No officer was compul
sorily retired in 1906, as only ffteer
vacancies were needed, and the de
partment received that number of APP
plications.
The list included five captains, on,
commander and nine lieutenant com
manders. In 1904 two lieutenant
were forcibly retired and the sam,
number in 1908.

NO WARSHIP-AIRSHIP FIGHT
Secretary Never Refuses To Send A
Vessel To Atlantic City Aero Games

Asserting that the proposed sham
| battle between aeroplanes and
battleship off Atlantic City in the
| coming shore meet of the Atlantic
City Aero Club would simply furnish
emIssaries of foreign Governments
data on the advancement of methods
of aerial warfare in the United States,
George Won L. Meyer, Secretary of
the Navy, has refused to assign a
| warship for the test.
Baked in their attempt to secure
the warship. theheads of the Atlantic
City Club have decided to send a del
egation to Washington to attempt to
change the attitude of the Depart
ment. Failing in that, they will i'm
press yacht into service to take the
place of a gunboat for the sham
battle.
The power yacht Caliph, owned by
ViceCommodore Brigham, of Phila-
delphia and winner of the recent deep
sea race from Havana to Atlantic
City, has been offered for the test be-
tween aeroplanes and an attacked
vessel and will be used if plans can be
made to arm the vessel with quick
firing guns.
Declination of the request for Fed
real warship for the proposed sham
battle with air craft was conveyed
by Secretary Meyer in a letter to
John j. White. president of the At
lanLic City Aero Club. The letter
said:
THE Department is of the opinion
that such important experiments as
the proposed battle between a war
vessel and aeroplanes should be done
by the War and Navy Departments in
conjunction and privately, in order
that any result of value which may
be obtained shall be held as confiden-
tial for the use of the military
branches of the Government and not
made known for the edification of the
general public and the advancement
of the art of navigation along similar
lines for foreign military services.
