BURGLAR REGRETS
HE is A HUMOR|ST
Invited, He Robs Girls House,
Then Pays Consolation
visit-Nabbed.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.-"It's
the people who haven't any sense of
fun that make a success in the
world sighed George Wilson. gen
tleman burglar in his cell, at police
Headquarters.
His sense of humor had led him to
lock a keeper of the New York Tombs
prison in his (Wilson's) own cell,
while he (Wilson) walked out to Free
dom.
Miss Lillian Price and Miss Mary
C. McKaig. of Wilmington, while out
for walk were offended by a fiirta-
tious person, it is said, and Wilson
went quickly to their rescue. He got
the offender out of the way in short
order and the girls gave him permis-
sion to call.
They found him charming-a man
of culture, of experience, wit. wisdom
and courtesy. He left we'll before the
prescribed II, and he left with cor
dial invitation to return at his pleas
ure.
About o'clock in the morning the
youngs women were awakened by a
noise in their room. Miss McKaig ran
out into the reception hall and was
confronted by pistol muzzle with
masked man behind 1t.
please don't trouble yourself" he
said. "I don't want to harm you. I
have your jewelry and things and I
won't disturb you a moment longer"
He drove her, politely, back to bed
and left-the women don't know how.
In their excitement they called up
the apartments of Wilson-the friend
who had called on them the previous
evening" He went instantly to COM
fort them. They were all having
breakfast together when the detec-
tives who had been summoned ar
rived. One of the sleuths seemed to
cast an over-inquisitive eye at the
gentleman guest. Wilson suddenly
remembered that he must be in Phila-
delphia early. He left abruptly. The
detectives telegraphed his description
ahead of him and he was arrested as
he stepped off train here.

Caught After Smuggling Saws
and Acid Into Brook
II lyn Jail.

NEW YORK, Sept. pa daring
attempt was made yesterday by 22-
year-old woman to liberate a num-
Der of prisoners in the Raymond
street Jail, Brooklyn. Had it not
been for the false ring of the metal
bars as they were tapped by the
keeper at least three of the prisoners
would have escaped.
Stella Morre, the pretty, dark
haired, .would-be rescuer, who lives
ut PIG East Seventh street, had been
soing to the Jail for a week to visit
Henry Miller, held on a burglary
charge, Nothing out of the ordinary
was thought of these frequent calls
until yesterday, when a keeper in
making his rounds tapped the cell
bars. The bars in three cells had been
sawed at the base.
In Miller's cell We're found an eight
Inch saw and bottle of hydrochloric
acid. Miss Morre later was detected
trying to smuggle another saw into
the jail.

TREASURY SEAL OLDER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The de-
sign of the seal of the treasury of the
United States in all its essential fea-
lures Is older than the national gov

federation of the colonies down
through the history of the republic
the Latin motto on the seal has been
1.-The Seal of the Treasury of North
America"
An investigation by the treasury
department tracing the history of the
seal shows that the Continental Con-

tember s26, ITS, appointing John
Witherspoon, Gouverneur Morris and

Impressions of the seal have been
