: THE MODERN BURGLAR
A Millionaire Escapes Rob- !
berry Only Through !
Forgetfulness.

{ *** $3.50 -
Bill Braden, the most modern
burglar who ever sailed the skies
in biplape, softly beat his way
toward the palatiaf mansion of
Millionaire Seraggs, in his air
ship, against strong westerly
wind.

as he skillfully piloted his ma

house. Il don't want any mis-

From some point nearby came

and brought the car to level

open in plebian fashion and his
trousers, thrown over a chair near
him. From him the light roved
around the room until it lighted
upon a compact armor-plate safe
in one corner. "Ah," Burglar
Bill calculated as he saw this and
shut the light off quickly.
From his kit he took a delicate
little, glass cutter, and with this
he neatly lifted out a small sec
ton of the window pane. Follow
ing this operation it was the work
of a second to insert his hand, lift
up the latch and open the win

searchlight was again brought
into play. The ray fell on the
face of the sleeping man. The
airship was now steady and so
Burglar Bill had both hands to
work with. While he held the
light on Scraggs with one hand,
with the other he pulled little
squirt gun from his pocket. With
this he squirted a fine stream of
chloroform over the sleeping
mans face. Ina moment he saw
that the millionaire was under the
influence of the anesthetic.
Burglar Bill now felt that the
coast was clear. He slung his kit
of tools over his shoulder and
climbed into the room. To the
motor of his gasoline engine he
attached little dynamo and ran
a wire fFom(this to the safe. Then
he started the engine and with
curious tool at the end of the
wire he neatly burned through

TIVE 70 CORN BUYERS.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Fear that other
nations might be drawn into difficulties
growing out of the Italian Turkish war
carried the wheat market upward to-
day Offerings increased as prices ad :
yanced and as a result the gain was
more than wiped out. Longs unloaded
freely. Bears received aid from Liver
pool advices that trade was dull ow-
ing to the lack of demand. similar
influence came from the heavy snow
fall in the winter wheat region. Open
ing figures were the same as Saturday
night to 1@Ac up. May started at

change shown by the market taken al
together A rise to s1.00B followed. on
the ensuing setback the prices receded
to $1.00%.
An advance in flour quotations led
to another rally but the effect was
overcome by the smallness Of the in
crease in the visible supply. The close
was steady with May 40 n net lower
at $1.00A @1.00s.
Bad weather furnished incentive to
buyers of corn. There was wave of
selling later, however, on account OF
on to sc higher at 6S1s @6Sss to 6SA
and then sagged to 6S%c.
The big increase in the visible supply
weakened the market still more. Clos
ing figures were easy at 6Sh @6SA for
May, a decline of 1h@ Nc net.
Oats followed the course of other
grains. Business was light. May start

.BRANDEIS GIVES
DEFENSE OF ACTS
BOSTON LAWYERAssAlLs UNITED
SHOE MANUFACTURERS IN
LETTER TO cLAPP.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-The
allegations Of President w. S. Win
slow, OF the United Shoe Machinery
Co., that Louis D.*Brandeis OF Boston
in his recent testimony before the
senate interstate commerce committee
criticised acts of the company which
occurred while he was director and
counsel In it were answered today IN
letter from Mr.. Brandeis to Senator
Clapp of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee. Mr.. Brandeis asked that
his letter be embodied in the hearings
Of the committee as supplementary OF
the testimony he gave on Dec. IA, 10
and 16 last.
Referring to Mr.. Winslow's letter
to the committee as presenting half
Hruths and statements, some false and
otherf, grossly misleading Mr..
Brandeis explains in detail how and
why he became convinced that the
policy and methods of the United Shoe
Machinery Co. we're inconsistent with
the general welfare and that additional
legislation was necessary to protect
the public against the practices OF
that trust"
Mr.. Brandeis declares that while 1t
was true that in April, 1906, he be-
lieved in the policies and methods OF
the company as legally and morally
unobjectionable, he withdrew as
director a, few months later when ne
alleged different set of circumstances
developed.
Mr.. Brandeis said he was of the
opinion at first that there were good
and bad trusts, and that the shoe
monopoly was being operated bene-
fically and was promoting competi-
ton. AS a consequence, he adds, ne
appeared before the Massachusetts
legislature to oppose a bill seeking to
compel change in the methods of the
company.
Mr.. Brandeis concluded his letter
with the allegation that his criticism
Of the shoe company's course was not
in its contesting the constitutionality
Of the Massachusetts, act of 1907 gov
erning leases but ''in it's so conducting
its business as to make it practically
impossible for any person to test the
act, or indeed, to attempt to enforce
1t for the company added to it's leases
a rider by which it reserved the right
to terminate the lease in thirty days
with or without cause, which put the
Massachusetts manufacturer absolutely
within its power. Me had to be good
since no substitute machinery was
available to him.
