DUPLICATE KEY
THIEF" Is ACTIVE
Another Theft Reported to Police,
but Detectives Fail to Find Clew.
Second House Ransacked.

A theft, believed to have been COM
mitted by the duplicate key man" Sat
urday evening, was reported to the police
yesterday by John c. Proctor, of 123a
Madison street northwest.
Proctor and his family left their home
shortly after o'clock Saturday night and
went to a theater. returning home shortly
after II O'Clock. A few minutes after his
return he discovered the house had been
ransacked.
An Eastern Star jewel worth 800 and g
in bills, with small amount of silver,
was the loot selected by the thief from
among the valuable articles he found in
the house. The duplicate key man
carried away only cash and jewelry that
can be readily converted into cash.
Investigation by detectives failed to re-
veal a clew. A side window, which might
have been entered from an alley, had not
been locked, and the police believe the
intruder gained entrance by this route.
Front and rear doors were found locked,
but It is custom of the duplicate key

opened 1t with a skeleton key.

LETTER FROM TOURISTS
SHOWS THEM NEAR JAPAN
On February 26 They Were Within Striking Distance
of Yokohama

The last word from the tourists sent
around the world by The Washington
Herald brings them within, striking dis
tance OF Yokohama, Japan. All reJoiced
that the long voyage from Honolulu was
about 20 end.
According to itinerary, they arrived at
Manila at o'clock last Thursday morn
ing. Since the last word from them by
letter, -hey have visited Yokohama,
Kobe. Nagasak. Hongkong. and Manila.
All has been well with them. and all
were enjoying themselves to the utmost.
Change of Schedule.
A slight change OF itinerary has been
announced by the management.
According to the original time table.
the Cleveland was scheduled 20 arrive
at Diamond harbor (Calcutts) April 9
next, and leave on the 10th, but on this
latter date the neap tides are encoun-
tered, I. e.. the water is at Its lowest
ebb. The estuary of the Hoogly River
has several shadows (sand banks),
which prevent the approach or depart-
ure OF the Cleveland at low water. and
the 18th OF April is the earliest date on
which the Cleveland can sail down the
river. To avoid any possible mishap the
departure win therefore be scheduled
for the 18th OF April. three days later
than the original sailing list.
AS Calcutta does not offer enough at
traction for three extra days, and the
heat there is occasionally intense. the
mana cement has decided TO increase the
sojourn at places which are more inter
esting to tourists. one extra day will
therefore be given at Yokohama. and
one at Hongkong, without extra cost.
The stay at other ports between Cal
cutta and Hamburg will. however. not
be shortened, but the whole trip will
be heightened by three days. Beyond
Calcutta, the dates of arrival and depart
ure will be postponed by three days. the
arrival in Hamburg taking place on the
10Th instead of the 17th OF May.
In Yokohama the programme included
