FAMILY ASLEEP
AF TER J0LLITy,
'KEYMAN" TOLLS
Gets Away With Rich Booty in
Burglary of Schaller
Home.

Following a social evening at the
home of Mrs. Caroline Schalier, OF 400
Bergen street, the daring 'keyrnan
in the Clinton Hill section one of misery
again made his appearance. Last night
relatives and friends gathered at the
home of the Schallers and INDUCED in
music and cards until i o'clock. The
family then retired.
Mrs. Schaller. the first one TO arise
today, discovered that her clothes,
which she had arranged on a chair be-
fore retiring, were thrown about the
room. She quickly summoned the mem
bers of her family, and it was discov-
cred that a bolR robbery .ad been per-
petrated.
The dining-room was in disorder and
the clothes of the men folks were found
strewn about the halls. The members
of the family had worn their jewelry
during the evening and before retiring
had placed them all in their private
jewelry cases. These were all gone.
Uses Jimmy for a Change.
Sergeant Meehan, of the detective
bureau, was sent on the case. He dis
covered that the place had been en-
tered by rear cellar window, 1t is
evident that some instrument had been
used. The detective found a new
jimmy wrapped in paper oil the cellar
steps. From the cellar the intruder
walked to the first floor. where he
found the doors open.
On the dresser he found the jew
told SoTQaalf
Meehan that she was minus a string
of gold beads set with diamonds and a
gold locket set with pearls which she
had brought from Germany. Mrs
Jessie Hatfield, her daughter, was more
unfortunate. She lost two diamond
rings, one valued at $50 and the other
at SIS; an opal ring surrounded with
diamonds valued at $50, two opal rings
an umbrella with gold mounting and
a purse with some small change Her
husband, who discovered his trousers
in an adjoining room, had in one oil
the pockets his diamond ring valued
at 800, a penlxnife and $3.50 in change
which were all taken. A valuable lava
lier, which lay on the dressing table
was overlooked by the thief.
The Dol ton of the city TO which the
'keynlan' is now devoting his ume
is in the wealthy residential section
Next to the Schaller home is the fine
residence of Charles F. Herr. judge OF
the Fourth and Second Criminal courts.
The manner in which the thief gained
entrance and the methods used in
previous robberies leaves no doubt in
the minds of the police but that II is
the work of the same man. A Jimmy
which was found in the cellar was
new, and II is stated by the police that
this was intended for use in case ths
door leading to the living apartments
was found locked.

THUGS HOLD Up
AND ROB MASSE
ON BUSY STREET
Two Italians Take sos from
Victim After Assault
ing Him.
ASSAILANTS STOPPED
HIM TO ASK DIRECTION
While He Was Pointing the
Way to One the Other
Grabbed Him.

Attacked in broad daylight on one of
The busiest corners of the Hill" sec
ton, Samuel Masse, of 215 Charlton
street, was this afternoon held up and
robbed of $s5, which he had in a hip
pocket
AS he was passing the corner of Ber-
gen street and Sixteenth avenue,
point at which two car lines intersect,
two Italians accosted him, asking to
be directed to a certain street. While
he was talking one of them grasped
him from behind and when he turned
to defend himself the other man also
grappled with him.
After a short struggle which was be-
ginning to attract a crowd the two
men let him go and ran away. It was
then that Masse discovered that they
had taken his money. The whole thing
happened SO quickly that Masse was
too dazed to do any more than stare in
the direction which they had taken
when he saw them run away. After
it was learned that 1t was a hold-up
the widest excitement prevailed in the
neighborhood and search was started
for the daring robbers, but the men
had taken advantage of the excitement
to get a good start and they made
good their escape.
Masse chased the burglars a half
block followed by a yelling crowd.
but he wasn't fast enough, and the
crowd wasn't fast enough. and when
the hold-up men had darted around a
corner pretty nearly an eight of a mile
ahead the angry folk gave up the run.
Masse went to the Fourth Precinct
station and reported his loss. He said
the two men who took his money were
couple of "slick-dressed Italians"
whom he thought might well be Wall
street brokers until he found his roll
had disappeared.
He gave the general description of
the fiashy fellows with the carmen ties
and raven hair and black mustachios
The description wasn't so good that
the Fourth Precinct police had located
the. collectors of his coin up to very
late hour this afternoon

CHILDREN
POISONED
BY CANDY
Taken Ill Suddenly After
Eating Easter
EGGS.

Following the recent seizures Of al
legged impure candies by Federal Of
fcials in this city within the week
there comes today a story of the
poisoning of three little children in the
family of Samuel Flicker, of 81 Mont
gomery street, who are said to have
writhed in convulsions all last night,
after eating Easter egg candy and
Mexican kisses" bought at five and
ten cent store near their home.
The lives of the youngsters were
saved, after three hours of effort by
Drs. Blumberg and jacobson. The
former said that he found traces of
arsenic in the candy, and he submitted
specimens of the stuff to the Board of
Health, which is investigating.
According to the stories told by Min
ME Flicker. who bought the candy,
she had come from her work In the
General Electric offices, in Harrison,
last evening, and on her way home
stopped to buy a half-pound of sweets
at the Springfield avenue store, near
her home, for the little children of the
Flicker family.
She asked the girl clerk to mix them
and she chose the brown-coated Mexi-
can kisses, the; green, and pink enam-
eled Easter eggs and took them home.
The three younger children of the
family pounced upon the candy the
moment she entered the door. Charlie
Flicker, who Is only years OLD,
grabbed up a couple of brown peanut
beans" and ate them ravishingiy;
Mamie swallowed theNpink Easter eggs.
and the older brother, Benjamin. ate
five of all kinds contained in the lit
tie bag.
Soon I'm Commissions.
A half-hour afterward the 2-year-
old boy was in the throes of convul-
sions, and the doctors first summoned
by the family had no need to use the
stomach pump. First they summoned
DR.. Jacobson, an unlicensed physician.
from the drugstore nearby, and he
worked over all three for five hours.
Then DIR. Blumberg came, and with the
aid of jacobson he pulled them all out
of what seemed to him like a pretty
serious case of poisoning
: DIR. Blumberg took away samples OF
the candy bought and eaten. Toaay he
sent dozen specimens to the Health
Board.
! At the five and ten-cent store, where
Minnie Flicker bought the candy. il
was admitted that she often bought
candy there, and had bought some there
yesterday. But it was said that If the
candy was poisonous the fault could
not be laid to the five and ten-cent
store because it had bought it from
firms in New York and Baltimore,
whose product is inspected by the Fed
erai pure food people and bears thf
pure food law stamp on each box they
! buy and sell.
At the Board of Health it was said
that a DIR. Blumberg had submitted
specimens of a candy to them this
morning, which were said to have been
of the same stuff that posoned the
Flickers children. 1t was Immediately
sent to the chemist of the department,
Herbert Baldwin, who had not dlscov-
cred this afternoon whether the candy
contained arsenic or any other poison.
The Flicker family are still under a
doctors care, but they are all out of
danger.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 2s.-
Francisco l. Madero, sr., father of the
insurrecto leader, upon his arrival here
today declared that peace in Mexico
is assured within thirty days and
probably within ten days. Himself,
his son Alfonso and his son Gustavo.

representatives
Thousands of non-combatants in the
war-bound sections of Northern Mex
leo are struggling to get out of the
country, it is reported by refugees who
have been able to reach the American
border.
Many women and children have no
means of transportation. Others are
afraid to attempt to make a living in
country foreign to them, and still
others are restrained by the fear that
their property will fall into the hands
of the insurrcctos.
Seventeen families on the border
near Ell Paso today applied to customs
officials to be allowed TO bring their
horses and household goods into this
country. They pleaded that they were
tired of fighting to preserve their
property at the risk of their lives.
Many families in Juarez are moving

sufficiently, Senior Madero added. to

The predicted resignation of Cora
will leave the functions of the office
of president to the new foreign
minister, de la Barra, Senior Madero
said. Diaz will save his face by re-
naming in office for four or six months
and then resign. He will plead the
weariness of his many years 1t will
then fall to de Ia Barra to, become de
facto president and to call an cleo
! ton. The administration party, it is
said, and believed by Senior Madero.
