DARING ROBBERY
Is PERFORATED
Thieves Walk in Front Door Of
Mccoy Residence and Get
Silks and Jewelry.

In one Of the most daring daylight
robberiss ever perpetrated in the city.
thieves yesterday afternoon entered
the residence of Mrs. Maude Mccoy,
1924 Fourth avenue, getting silks,
jewelry and cash to the amount Of
about SIS, and making a successful
getaway. The matter was not report
ed TO the police. Walking calmly in
at the front door, the men leisurely
looked over everything in the place,
helping themselves to the most valua-
BILE articles.
The robbery occurred between 2:30
and o'clock. Mrs. Mccoy had gone
| to Moline to visit for the afternoon,
and had left the front door unlocked,
believing that her daughter, Miss
Abyss, who is employed at the Empire
Annex, just across the street, could
keep an eye upon the place. Neigh
| bors stated that they saw several sus-
picious looking characters hanging
around the premises yesterday after
noon, and it is believed that these men
watched their chance, and when Mrs
Mccoy took her departure, calmly
walked up to the house, opened the
front door, and then made themselves
at home.
Among the articles stolen were two
lockets, one gold and one silver, 81 in
money, a silver purse, and two wolfe
dresses valued at $50 apiece.

TRACES LABoR's GROWTH.
The industrial revolution that has
come about in the last quarter Of a
century, because Of the Introduction
OF improved machinery in industry,
came in for d great share Of Mr..
Hayes attention. He described the
changed conditions. He illustrated
the change by referring TO the shoe
making industry and told how by the
introduction OF the Mackay last and
the Goodyear machines the shoe
maker became a dependent instead
OF an independent workman. He re
GREETED that the unionizing Of labor
and the benefits 10 accrue therefrom
had not kept pace with modern eco
nomical development.
CAN'T CO WEST.
"Greeley's advice TO go west nc
longer obtains" said the speaker
commenting upon one of the alter
natives that in the earlier days of tht
country was open 10 the workingmaI

they receive out there is not eXactl
cordial. They are told by the cit
authorities on their way out, TO kee

then 10 jump into the ocean"
ADVANTAGE OF MONEY.
He went on TO compare the ditfeI
ence ~ the conditions of life unde
which the laboring and the capitalist

Mr.. Hayes was optimistic about ii
