Searchlight in Cane.

Lying in front OF the safe where the
burglar was surprised at his work tho
police found gold-tippcd cane. which on
examination at the police station was
found to contain cevcrly hidden cleo
trio light bulb, controlled by secret but
ton in the handle, The bulb casts a
powerful ray of light in just such a fash
ion as best serves a devotee OF the safe
cracking profession,
The police declare they have never
seen a contlivance similar TO 1t and are
inclined to look upon it as sure proof that
they have taken an expert criminal.
The burglar entered through a rear
window which had been made insecure
by reason OF repair work being done on
the building. He used ladder TO scale
partition that separates the rear room
from the Office, Apparently reckless of
consequence. he had switched on the
lights In the Office and was working In
broad glare Of light, though the office
partition screened him from the street.

The first door on the safe WAS opened
without violence, indicating that the
burglar had solved the combination by

Oyster Sociology
Is Discovered

PARIS, Aug. 10.-Some cur
ious discoveries in the sociology
of oysters have been made by M.
Danton of the Museum of Natural
History. He declares that the
sex of the oyster often varies IN
the same subject. A male oyster
for example, may change into
half male, half female, and then
into a female without apparent
provocation.
According to M. Danton the fe-
male oyster Is undoubtedly SUI
perior to the male. The male rs
weaker in every way, and when
badly nourished, female oyster
will degenerate" into a male.
With a change of diet, however,
she resumes her proper sphere.

murder and graft scandal is hid
ing Harry Horrowitz, alias "Gyp
the Blood" and Lefty Louie"
Rosenberg, was the flat charge
made here today by District At

sensational developments within
the next 4S hours. Horrowitz
and Rosenberg were two of the
five occupants of the gray auto

thai murder and Whitman today
took steps to force the surrender
of the fugitives.
Burns detectives and represen-

in the four months preceding the
tragedy. They have already
found, they say. seven banks in
each of which Becker has $4,000
on deposit.
Despite Becker's denial 1t is be-
lieved at the district attorneys
office that a confession will be
forthcoming from him before the
end of the week. Becker's nights
are restless and his appetite is
gone.
Arrangements are completed
for a mass meeting next week in
Cooper Union, at which action
to abolish alleged police grating
will be demanded, and resolutions
denouncing Mayor Gaynor, Police
Commissioner Waldo and others
will be adopted.
