CLAPP OFFERS
DRASTIC BILL
Would Limit Use of Campaign
Funds in Presidential and
Other Elections.

A drastic measure. limiting the use OF
campaign funds in Presidential and Con-
Gressional elections, embOdyinG the lesson
which Senator Clapp draws from the tes-
timOny Of witnesses before the campaign
funds investigating committee, was intro
duCed by the Minnesota Senator yester-
day.
The measure makes it unlawful for
any person. firm. corporation. associa-
tion. or committee. or amy officers
thereof, to send money from one State
to another to influence elections. This
general prohibition is. however, not held
against political committees, the bill
specifying: The national committee OF
the several political parties may make
payments for expenses of campaign
speakers transportation and hotel bills,
expenses for the dissemination Of cam
paign literature. and advertising"
Imprisonment for six months to one
year is specified for violation of the
law. At Senator Clapp's request the
bill was referred to his committee for
consideration.
Senator Clapp later explained that
his bill was the first fruit of his COM
mittee's investigation. and that its
purpose was TO prevent the raising of
large sums in the big financial centers
to be sent out to distant States for the
use of State committees. He said that
its enactment will compel the people of
each State TO finance and independent
ly conduct their campalgns( except in
so far as national committees may fur
nish speakers and literature.
William L. Wood. woolen manufac-
turer. of Massachusetts. and now under
Indictment for planting dynamite to
discredit the Lawrence strikers, is one
of the witnesses who will appear be-
fore the Clapp committee this week He
will testify 10 his contribution to the

CLEVER THIEVES
PREY ON WOMEN
Twenty-one Shoppers Fall Victims
to, a Pair Of Female
Piokpockets.
ONLY ONE OF THOSE ROBBED
ABLE TO DESCRIBE DIPS
twenty-five Detectives Detailed to
Search for the 'Moll
Buzzers."

Two women pickpockets, ostensibly
from out of town, descended suddenly on
the National Capital yesterday and found
rich Pickings in the fat purses of the holi-
day throngs. Operating in department
and 5-and1O-cent stores and on street cars.
they robbed twenty-one women shoppers,
getting about 800 in cash, jewelry, and
other property during the day.
Escaping detection with the skill Of pro-
fessional 'moll buzzers," as they are
known in police parlance, and operating
so cleveraly that they were seen by only
one of their victims, the female pickpock-
cts worked" so rapidly that the plants
of their victims reached police headquar-
tiers at intervals of a few minutes, Great
ing mild panic among the plain clothes
men.
BY order OF Maj. Sylvester, twenty-five
detectives were sent out from the Central
Office by Inspector Boardman, chief Of
detectives, and a short time after the
first victim told of her loss at the n!nblo
fingers of the women thieves, keen-eyed
men in civilian clothes were in all Of the
big stores vainly seeking a clew to the
pair OF clever thieves.
St,IishIy Dressed.
The only information gained by the
detectives was evidence that practically
all of the thefts were committed by two
women, working" together. and that
these two women are young, not more
than twenty years old, dressed in dark
and stylish costumes, with small black
hats and of rather pleasing appearance.
Descriptions of the pickpockets were
given by Miss Mamie Nichols. of l4l7
Twenty-second Street Northwest. who
was robbed of a purse containing $4
Miss Nichols boarded car at Eleventh
and Streets for home shortly before
> o'clock in the afternoon. She was
jostled so rudeIy by two young women
that she watched them.
When the car reached Fourteenth and
G streets Miss Nichols discovered that
her handbag was open. Searching the
bag. she learned that the purse, con-
tanning the roll of bills. had been eX-
tracted. Miss Nichols looked about for
the two young women who had jostled
her and found that they had left the
car.
Rich HauIS in Store.
Miss Nichols was the only victim rob-
bed on a street car. Thirteen women
were robbed in one department store
within two hours. In each case, detec-
tives learned, the victims handbag was
Slyly opened and the small puESe con-
tanning money extracted. In each case,
the police further ascertained, the pick
pockets escaped before their victim dis
covered her loss. Two of the thirteen
robberies in the department store were
committed in elevators.
In this store there were three cases
reported. but not officially recorded. The
victims in these three rObberies refused
TO divulge their names or addresses, and
no record of the thefts could be made.
One of the women said that $50 had been
