York who have placed themselves at the
head Of the movement to form Big
Sisters Protective society for poor girls are
much in earnest over the work and are
fast perfecting plans for the organiza-
ton. The ides was evolved by Miss Dorothy
Whitney and Mrs. william k Vanderbilt.
and seems TO have grown out Of the Big
Brothers, club, which grew out OF the
Episcopal Brotherhood OF ST. Andrews.
Mrs. Vanderbllt's interest grew out Of her
investigations into the children's court,
where she observed that many erring girls
we're daily brought before the bar.
Mrs. Vanderbilt discussed the matter
with Miss Whitney, daughter of the late
w. G. Whitney, one Of New Yorks wealthy
young society women. Both looked with
great concern on the fact that these girls
were being tried as criminals and turned
out with blotch on their lives that they
could net recover from. So they decided
to place themselves ct the head Of a move
ment and become big sisters" to look
after the girls. When the announcement
was made, others came to their assistance.
Such wealthy women as Miss Helen Gould
and Miss Anne Morgan, It is said, have lent

Burglar Takes Time
to Break Down Doors
and Help Himself
Commits Four Robberies and Leaves
Broad Trail Behind, but Makes
Escape.

One man who Is believed to be a man
discharged from the county fail Friday
morning committed four burglares after
midnight Saturday morning. and left q
trail behind him broad enough TO be fol-
lowed by an amateur Hawkshaw
All Of the burglaries were committed on
West Broadway. He began at Albert Rich
les place, between Seventh and Eighth
streets where he broke in and searched the
place without finding anything OF much
value. He next appeared AZ Martins gro
Gerry and meat market at Twentieth street
the scene of several exciting incidents, in
GLIDING the killing OF John Webster while
resisting arrest after being caught in the
act Of robbing the place. Here the lone
burglar kicked in a side door and devoted
his time to the cash register. It was locked
and he smashed Il into bits, strewing the
parts and the cash numbers all over the
place. While he was at work Conductor
Parmaley passed the store on his way to
the car barns at Twenty eighth street and
saw him smashing the register. 1t was
then i:27 o'clock and Psrmaley had to
go to the car barns before he could tele-
phone the police, BY the time the officers
walked down there the thief was gone.
The cash register was empty, and nothing
but few cigars and some plug tobacco
was taken
Continuing his journey westward. the
hardworking burglar stopped at the drug
store OF George Clark at Thirty-seGond
street and kicked in the side door In pre-.
cisely the same manner. He found nothing
that suited his taste but half a gallon or
alcohol in gallon jug. which he took away
with him.
The next stop was at the general store
OF A, l.. Howard & Co., at Thirty-fourth
and Broadway The side door yielded to
the same treatment and coincidently there
was cash register in plain view. but Il
was unlocked and the burglar was saved
the labor Of breaking It to pieces. All the
money ii contained was forty pennies, and
these were appropriated AT all Of the
places the burglar wantonly destroyed
property.
Shortly before daylight the man appeared
at the waterworks pumping station carry
ing the jug Of alcohol and ASKED permits
sion to thin the contents slightly with
water. He took drink and left the jug,
promising to call for IL.
At o'clock he stopped at the Thirty
seventh street saloon and bought a
drink Of whisky, paying for it in
pennies. Half an hour later he appeared
at the bridge toll house and offered four
pennies for his passage, declaring that he
was that near broke He was passed on
and disappeared in Omaha Detective Cal
laghan was put on his trail, but late yes
terday afternoon had not landed him.

A week ago the bill to provide for a
permanent tariff board seemed to be in
danger OF defeat because Of almost solid
democratic opposition. There has been a
change Of sentiment in the senate minority.
Led by Senator Money a number OF those
who believed the passage Of the bill would
strengthen President Taft politically have
arrived at the conclusion that democratic
opposition would simply convince the coun-
try that the democrats of the senate and
house were not pulling together. The house
democrats voted for the bill almost to a
man and It was their position that made its
passage certain. Administration leaders
will tell President Taft tomorrow that the
bill will go through.

WORRY OYER EXTRA SESSION
tcontInued from First Pagel

intended to be regarded as other thar
speculative, seems to Justify the statement
that the sentiment as TO these members
may be described as follows;
Popular election of senators probably will
be defeated by reason of the injection OF
the race question into the discussion OF
the resolution. Even without the speech by
Snator Root on Friday which melted the
Indignation OF Senator Bacon and others
from southern states. this issue could not
have been avoided
An amendment TO the resolution had al
ready been offered by Senator Sutherland
which southern members say is as OBJ
noxious to them as was the force" bill
II seems practically certain this amend
ment win be adopted, and its effect GER
tainly would be to ALLEVIATE southern sup
port thus making impossible the necessary
two-thirds vote Of the senate for the main
resolution.
The fate of Senator Lorimer is more
doubtful. All OF the polls that have been
made have been based upon the Beveridge
resolution, which declares the election OF
Senator Lorimer to have been accomplished
by corruption Of the Illinois Legislature. II
the case should come before the senate in
that form the lndic2tlons, based upon poll
Of the senate by members friendly to the
exoneration of Mr. Lorimer are, that the
election would be declared invalid and his
seat vacant.
1t is possible that friends Of Senator
Lorimer will succeed in substituting a reso-
luton declaring merely that the charges
OF corruption against him have not been
proved. There are several senators who
feel they cannot refuse to vote for the
Beveridge resolution and yet they are not
convinced that Mr.. Lorimer was cognizant
OF any bribery.
These senators, it is said would vote for
a resolution that the evidence did not prove
Mr.. Lorimer guilty Of corruption. II Mr.
Lorimer's friends prove the more adept in
parliamentary tactics they may win in the
struggle on the floor of the senate.
