TAXICAB IS NEW TRAP
 OF BAND OF ROBBERS

PARIS, Feb. PA society lady of great wealth who was kidnaped on leaving the theater, drugged in an automobile and driven to the B1is de Boulogne, where she was robbed and left in the middle of the woods, to walk on foot in her evening dress in the wet and rain, to the nearest point in the city, has just told of her terrible ex- perience
 The story is so strange. and yet people might be so easily exposed to similar adventure, that it is told with a view of warning women o1 the danger to which they may be exposed if they get into the hands of criminal taxi driver. The young woman had been to the theater and wore magnificent evening dress, with some of her finest jewels and a sealskin cloak. As she left the theater she hailed taxi and gave her address to the chauffeur. After he had driven some distance he stopped to in quirc, as if he had not remembered the address. He opened the door to ask and twice repeated his question, putting his head in further each time.
 When he shut the door and drove away again, she thought that she noticed a strange odor. The idea came to her mind that he had left some drug ill the taxi, But before she was able to move she was over- rcome. The chauffeur drove away into a secluded part of the Bois le Boulogne
 When the woman awoke she found herself in the Bois, surrounded by well-dressed men, who held lanterns, and were divesting her of her jew els and all her valuables. She beg ged them in vain to leave her at least two francs to drive home in cab They told her that she ought to be glad to get away alive, and that if she gave the slightest in- formation to the police she would be a dead woman. She was left in the middle of the Bois and walked to the nearest gate, dren- i ched and cold.

COAL STRIKERS IN
 WESTPHALIA ARE
 HEADED BY WOMEN

BERLIN, March 13. = A reign of terror prevails throughout the West phalian coal fields, and the troops and mounted police on the scene were strongly reinforced today. The disorder spread today to districts hitherto unaffected and fighting is re- ported from Duisburg, Essen, Ham boron, Oberhausen and Recklinhaus- CT.
 One of the worst riots was at the German empire colliery. A striking feature of the violence is the part which women are playing in it. Some Of the mobs are actually led by wo- men in battle with police and sol diers. These Amazons show reck- less daring in rushing upon the sol dlers. In some instances their frenzy amounts to fanaticism.
 There were large additions to the ranks of the strikers today and it was estimated that nearly 300 900 men are now idle all over Germany. long drawn out struggle is expect ed as the coal mine owners have in- formed the union that they cannot grant wage increase at this time. They declare they will close down their mines before they will accede to the mems demands They also have informed the government of their decision. The operators seem to have the advantage, as they are acting in concert, while discord pre- vails between the Socialist and non- Socialist branches of the union.
 The reichstag and Prussian diet have joined hands and will exert strong measures to keep disorder at minimum and bring about a set clement.
 So dangerous is the strike situation becoming in some parts of Westpha- lia that artillery and cavalry may be sent.

 Molasses Candy.
 By following these directions, a bar of porus and light as that af the confectioner may be made. but a suggestion or two al me start. Too much butter makes the candy stringy, so that it cannot be pulled. Too little cooking makes it sticky and impossible to handle. Over cooking renders it hard and unwield- ly, Twisting the mass that is be- ing stretched closes the pores and makes it dark-colored and hard in stead of light-colored and brittle.
 This is an old and tried formula: :: One cupful of sugar two cupfuls of New Orleans molasses. one table spoonful of vinegar and butter the size of a small hickory nut. Boil un- til a little of the syrup. dropped on ice or snow, or in very cold water is brittle. Turn into aluminium pans or on to buttered tins or plates and let it cool until it can be handled Then let two persons cool their hands, take the candy into a compar- atively cool place, and pull it until it is almost white. One of the per sons should hold her hands in the position of hook, while the other throws the candy over them and stretches it out During this pro- cess 1t should never once be twisted When it is so stiff it can no longer be manipulated, stretch it out on the moulding board or. preferably a marble, and break, not cut, it into short lengths.

CALLS JAP NAVY
 ANT|QUATED

BERLIN. Feb. 24.-The overwhelm- ing superiority of the American navy over the Japanese is proclaimed by Capt. l.. Persius, one of the most capable and best known of the re tired naval officers writing in the German press. in an article just published in the Berlin Tageblatt.
 Captain Persius's views show a complete conversion from those ad- yanced until now by himself, Lieu tenant Count von ReventIow and the other German naval publicists. who for several years have been regularly predicting war between the United States and Japan and the inevitable triumph of the Japanese fleet and army. Homer Lea's work, The Valor of Ignorance" served them as a textbook
 Russian Ships now Antiquated. Captain Persius can now see no probability of war before the open ing of the Panama Canal or at any appreciable date in the future. and asserts that the Japanese navy. far from being equal to that of the United States. is weaker than at the outbreak of the Russo-Japanesc War. The then modern battleships are, he says, now obsolete. The ships captured from the Russians. rebuilt at a cost of over 30 million dollars, have very slight fighting value and the increment through new battleships is extraordinary small
 Only the battleships Aki and Sat suma, completed with almost record breaking slCwness of construction in five years. can be considered modern ships. though these carry only four 12-inch guns instead of the usual Dreadnaught armament. and it is extremely doubtful whether Japan's first two ships of the Dread naught class. the Settsu and Kaw- achi will be finished in time 10 | join the fleet this year A first
 class battleship cruiser is under construction in England; another has recently been started in Japan. | These, with small cruisers, destroy CTS and submarines. represent the
 total increase since the war with Russia.
 Japan Can't Build Good Vessels. The attempt tc construct batde- ships in Japan has proved, accord ing to Captain Persius, failure. due to the deficiencies of the Japan- csc steel works and the lack of technically trained workmen in the yards. In confirmation of this is cited the Japanese minister of mar inc, who, ill a speech before Parlia- | ment, admitted that the foreign built ships were superior to the Jap anese built, and that the govern ment steel works were not up to requirements.
 Comparing the Japanese and Amer ican fleets, he finds that Japan has only thirteen battleships, with tonnage of 1S4,S0O, to oppose thirty-one American battleships of 49S'20O tons, including six Dread naughts, with six more American ! Dreadnaughts under construction. The financial weakness of Japan
 will he holds, bar any extensive appropriations fer naval purposes for years to come, and the United States needs no longer fear for it's Pacific possessions.
