BURGLARS MAKE
PROFITABLE HAUL
GET ABOUT $500 EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING
Take Jewelry and Razors from Stu
ber's Hardware, $500 from II. ID.
Browns Pocket. Rifle Till OF
Clio Mfg. Co. for Forty Cents.

Burglars did a good business
in this village early Tuesday
business in this village early this
morning when they entered Stuber's
Hardware, rified the till of the Clio
Manufacturing company, and pur-
loined wallet from the coat of T.
ID. Brown. The amount of the sew
eral thefts approximates $500. There
is some suspicion of local talent, but
there is practically no clue for Dep
uty Sheriff Powers to work upon.
1t is thought that entrance to the
Stuber store was made through the
front door, but the exit Twas made
through the cellar, the door(to which
was left unfastened by the Nisitors.
At this store the burglars gathered
together between 5000 and \S3O0
worth Of jewelry, pocket knives, raz-
ors. a. y. Stuber, proprietor, was tn Y
able TO give definite figure on theS
amount taken. The store till was
also tapped for $500. No attempt
was made on the safe. Evidently the
burglars made a hurried leave as
they left several tools on the floor.
At the Clio Manufacturing com
pany it was found that the combina-
ton till had been smashed but the
results of the pilfaring at this place
were slight, there being only 40
cents in the till. The safe at this
place was also left untouched. The
marauders evidently made their en-
/ trance through the door, and locked
the place when they went away. Sec'y
X. n. Gillett stated that the robbery
must have been committed after mid
night as he was at the Office until
11:30.
T. B. Brown, local contractor, was
perhaps the heaviest loser. Aboudksix
o'clock he was at the p. M. depG
he went to get his mail and when he
returned few minutes after, pock-
etbook containing 800 in bills and
about $500 in endorsed checks was
missing from the inside pocket. Mr..
Brown stated that he saw a fellow
near the station when he cams to
work and he was about to offer to
hire him, until second look con-
vinced him that the stranger was
not looking Cor work. After he missed
his money he looked for the follow
but he was missing. 1t is not known
whether all three jobs were done
by the same party or whether gang
of robbers did the work.

in diameter and the skin is badly
burned at the point of entry.
Following a bedside consultation
Drs. John B. Murphy, Beyan and

Colonel would be allowed to start
for Oyster Bay late Saturday unless
complications developed. The Colonel
has repeatedly expressed a wish to
return home and Mrs. Roosevelt is
desirous OF having him taken to
oyster Bay.
And Still They Come.
A thousand new kilograms and
letters from all quarters Of the globe
awaited John f. McGrath and Elbert
Martin, Roosevelt's secretaries, when
they reached the hospital this morn
ing. So great was the pile that they
had to seek the help OF Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr.
Young Roosevelt was busy all the
morning debating replies to the
host OF friends who had expressed
their sympathy for the Colonel.

Colonel were at his request sent to

UMPIRE RIClER AND
 DAhLEN MIX IT UP

The umpire has come in for more notice in short time this season than ever before. Rigler's action at the Polo Grounds on Saturday ought to call for some rebuke at the hands of those in authority. There seems to be some debate about the first blow-whether Rigler or Dahlen struck it. To one who was watching the whole business, it was plain that Dohlen's motion was simply gestic- ulation to give strength to his .argu- ment Then Rigler lunged out and hit the Brooklyn manager, and Dah- len got in blow. Just what will happen to Dahlen has not been an- nounced yet. but somebody with sharp eyes ought to be on the field to watch the umpire, and make fair ruling on such things. As for the ball which Wilson whanged into the upper right wing of the grandstand, thereby caus- ing the argument-it was a fair ball. Rigler- pointed his finger at the play ers' entrance to, the Polo Grounds in the ninth. inning and told Meyers that he had better go through that and out into the cold world. Meyers got a generous hand from the fans as he walked off. Those in the grandstand could not hear what Meyers said af- ter Rigler had called the fourth ball, but it seemed that the thing was per- emptOry in the extreme.

EDWIN MARkHAM,6O TODAY
 ONCE "BOY WITH THE HOE''

Farm boy, hired hand, sheep herder, cowboy, blacksmith, school teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, iournalist-such were the successive occupations of Edwin Markham be- fore he attained to his present world wide reputation as poet and essayist. The author of '"The Man With the Hoe,,' the poem that girdled the globe in a day, is to-day celebrating his sixtieth birthday, having been born at Oregon City, Ore, April B, 1852.
 Although a native of Oregon, Mir. Markham has spent the greater part of his life in California. He was only five when he went to the Golden State village of Suisun, and as a. lad work ed in the fields and herded cattle and sheep in the valley of sunny Suisun. He was a ''boy with the hoe" but not a. stolid brother to the clod, for his mind was filled with the dreams and visions he was later to put into words AS a youth toiling with the hoe or blow or over the forge, he wooed the muse, and many of his verses were published in California papers and won for the young poet a local repu- tation. Occasionally he placed a poem with an eastern magazine, but these early efforts, whole polished and pleasing, lacked the universal appeal of his later works.
 MT. Markham, in his early youth had none of the educational advan-

HIGH SCHOOL
 FRATERNITIES Crusade Against Them By Law Makers and School
 Authorities

Twenty-Five States are represented in crusade which the lawmakers are waging against, the high-school fraternity. according to a report which has just been issued for free distribution by the United States Bu- reau of Education. Of these, 13 States have passed legislative enact ments hostile to the secret orders. while the school boards of important adopted like measures within their own Jurisdiction.
 All States having laws on the sub- ject provide penalty of suspension or expulsion from school for all those who join these orders. The most drastic laws were passed by Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska, whose leg islatures made it a misdemeanor for anyone even to solicit members to these organiza tions. Michigan and Ohio made it a mfsdemeanor for a school officer to fail or refuse to car- ry out the anti-high school fraternity law. Other States which prohibit Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon and Yer mont. Massachusetts empowers the Boston School committee to deal with the cret-society problem in it's own way, while Washington gives the same latitude to the school boards of US sIdISer CdlISS. fft fst4A -sf q
 The more important cities whose school boards have passed regulations restricting or forbiddingi high school fraternities are Denver, Meriden, Chicago, Covington. New Orleans Lowell, waltham, Worcester, Kansas City, Mo, St. Joseph, Butte. Okla homa City, Reading. Salt Lake City, Madison, Milwaukee, Racine. and Su- perior. The commonest penalties are suspension, expulsion, or debarment from school athletic Or other teams.
 The United States Bureau of Edu- cations report also cites some of the more important court decisions, ev- eryone of which upholds the school authorities in dealing vigorously with the high school fraternity, on the ground that the measures so taken are authorized as a part of the school boards discretionary powers. Most courts cited. however, will not allow the offending pupils to be barred from classroom exercises, although they can be barred from participating in all athletic or other contests.
 .'The high school secret society will very likely never win such place in the American educational system as that now occupied by the college fraternity" said William R. Hood, o1 the Education Bureaus Division o1 School Administration, yesterday. ..There is no such need for high school fraternity; indeed among its most insistent opponents are many college fraternity men.
 "It is interesting and possibly sig nificant, that the movement to exter- pate the fraternity activity from high. school life had it's origin and still finds it's greatest strength in the West and Middle West"

 It was in 1899, while principal of the Observation School of the Univer- sity of California at Oakland, that Mr. Markham bounded from compara- tive obscurity to international fame. and that almost in a day. MilIet's painting, 'srhe Man With the Hoe" had attracted his attention. and made a tremendous appeal to his imagina- ton. To him, as to the painter, the bowed, gnarled figure of the weary ited of the earth. The poem inspir- ed by the painting was first published in a San Francisco paper on Jan. 6, 1899, and while it brought the author little immediate return in cash, 1t gave him a reputation in the world of could have purchased. Within month the poem had been reprinted In practically every paper in North America and England, and had been translated into many languages.
 Shortly after the publication of 'The Man With the Hoe. MT. Markham removed to New York, and has since resided at West New Brighton. on Staten Island. The poem that had been called "the battle-cry of the next thousand years was followed by many others. perhaps the most noteworthy being Lincoln. the Great Commoner."

 Viewed from Trafalgar Quay, in the
 brilliance of Southampton water, under
 blue sky fecked with ffeecy clouds,

 scene was tremendously impressive. Within the week Southampton had
 sent forth the two greatest liners in the world-the Olympic and Titanic a record in itself
