TO Check the Murder Industry.
From the Chicago News

BY order of the city council it Is made
the duty Of the judiciary committee Of
ing the sale Of deadly weapons. One
more ordinance on this subject, partjcu-
larly II 1t shall Withstand the scrutiny
OF the courts, will doubtless serve q good
purpose-prOvided 1t Is enforced. Man
slaughter. in this city has come to be q
sort of pastime. II one may draw con-
illusions from the homicide statistics
The tool kit Of the killer should be less
readily equipped. While the council is
wrestling with Thea problem Of drafting
still another ordinance against the pro-
miscuous sale Of tools for committing
murder 1t would be well for the public
to consider ways and means of increas-
ing general respect for law and regard
.or Ia an life.

Simplifying Court Methods.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago J0urndI
1t may be taken for granted that the
movement set on foot by the United
States Supreme Court to simplify the
rules of practice on the equity side OF the
federal tribunals may have an influence
in bringing about reforms In this matter
In the lower courts.
Experienced lawyers and judges agree
that chancery matters should be subjected
to much needed changes in methods OF
procedure. In fact. 1t Is notorious that
many chancery cases are allowed to drae
their slow lengths along almost inter-
minably II there is enough In them" to
make delays advantageous to unscrupu-
lous attorneys.

THREE ASHLAND PASTORS
RESIGN THEIR PLACES

ASHLAND, Neb., Dec. 25.--(Special.)-
Three of the five pastors of Ashland
churches, four of whom were residents
here. have resigned within a little more
than a month. The resignation of the
first one to be presented, that of the
Rev. Leslie Lee Sanders, the 2S-year-
old pastor of the First Baptist church,
was accepted at a meeting of the church
board after the regular services Sunday
morning. Mr. Sanders came here last
April from Ardmore, Okl., and resigns
the pastorship of the Ashland church to
accept that of a large Baptist church
having over 600 members, at Grand
Forks n. d. Mr.. Sanders will preach
his farewell sermon next Sunday. The
Rev. Victor f. Clark, who resigned the
pastorate of the First Congregational
church to accept a position as field Sec
rotary of Doane college, Crete, Neb,
will retire as minister here with the new
year. The Rev. John ID. Rice. rector
Of st. Stephens Episcopal church, the
second to resign, removed to Portland,
Ore. AS yet none OF the churches have
selected SUCCESSORS to the retiring
clergymen. Bishop Arthur L. Williams

BURGLARS USED AN UMBRELLA
You'd Never Guess How CIeverIy
They Got $4,000 Worth
Of LO0t.

Officials of the burglary insurance COM
panies are In despair over exploits by
feather and fur burglars, two more OF
which were added on election night to the
already long list which the New York
police and private detectives are investi-
eating without success so far.
In one OF these latest robberies the
thieves employed an entirely new device
TO prevent noises in their operations
which might lead to discovery. The In
strument employed was an ordinary UNI
brella, and the police say no other UNI
brella probably ever was put to such use.
II was in the fur shop of Enerick &
Boyer, at "a East Twenty-first street, that
the burglars utilized this new safety de-
vice. incidentally they escaped with SlO.-
900 worth OF furs. The robbery was dis
covered when the place was opened for
business the following morning. There
was a gaping hole in the ceiling OF the
first floor. and in a corner reposed an
open umbrella, upside down and filled
with big pieces of plaster. IT was some
time before the detectives summoned
from headquarters could determine how
the umbrella had been used
The second floor OF the building is I'M
occupied at present and the detectives
finally pleced together the story. OF the
robbery. beginning with the assumption
that the burglars had secreted themselves
in the vacant loft before closing time. In
the night they had started TO cut through
the floor. When they had removed all the
woodwork between two joists. they found
the plaster of the ceiling below them. Just
I...V. L E.aH.a aWaAa A..
tives decided the umbrella was called
into play.
A small hole was cut carefully In the
plaster, care being taken that no large
piece should be dislodged 20 fall with a
resounding thud on the floor below. Then
the umbrella was inserted through this
hole. and when it had been passed COM
pletely through was opened and drawn up
against the ceiling.
A receptacle for the falling plaster was
thus formed, and into the open umbrella
the thieves could smash the plaster, safe
in the assurance that none would fall 10
the floor and sound the alarm. The plas-
ter-laden umbrella could be lowered to the
floor. once the hole had been made large
enough for the passage OF mans body.
and the rest ordinarily would be easy.
In this case, however Mr.. Enerick and
the detectives directed attention to the
especial skill OF the burglars. who made
their entrance into the fur shop through
a ceiling lined with burglar alarm wires.
The evidences OF their method In over
coming this difficulty lay before the eyes
Of the detectives. for two boards covered
a pair OF wires, so near together that even
a thin man would have had 20 squirm
very gently between them 10 avoid con
tact with them. Yet through this hole
the thieves had lowered themselves and
got away with a quantity OF furs which,
Mr.. Enerlck said, could have been moved
only in a wagon.--Hew York Times.
