The boldness of Guthries raids up

discrimination he used in selecting
only the most valuable works of art
and other articles OF great value set
new records for this line OF burglary
In this city. When the police recover
ed his plunder they found nine large
trunks, each packed with infinite care.
Every inch of space was carefully
utilized. The police counted moro
than 1000 pieces among the things he
had stolen. Among them were found
$4,000 worth of paintings which he
obtained in one night from a wealthy
south side home.
The young prisoner today talked for
more than an hour with Captain Hal

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Whether boss
must repent in sackcloth and ashes
before attaining prominence In the
national progressive party was the
question put sauarely up to Colonel,
Theodore Roosevelt when he alighted
from his train here today. The
straight issue presented came in the
case Of Timothy T. Woodruff Of Brook
lyn. but involved was the status Of
Colonel Cecil Lyon of Texas, Meyer
Lissner OF California, and some of
the other men who have attained
nrominence as bosses in the old days
and who now plainly admit they would
like to be leaders under the new
dynasty.

Woodruff remained complacent un-
der the suggestion that he step out OF
the way as state chairman in favor OF
some other reformer. He was elect
ed through a clever piece OF parH
amentary tactics last Saturday at the
New York state convention In Buf

were elected resolution naming
Woodruff chairman of the delegation
was offered and put through with

delegates did not profess to under

verse:
VACATION DAYS.

Fishing, rowing and sailing boats.
And riding my uncle's billy goats

Or trying my bright new fishing

And bowling when hornets sting
