THUGS BEAT
VICTIM, GET
MUCH LOOT
Three Robbers Enter Apartment u
Harry A. Factor and Secure
Valuable JeWeiry

Salt Lake City, Sept. lone OF
the most daring robberies committed
in Salt Lake City in many months
occurred at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning at the Henry flats, 243 8.
Third East street, the victim being
Harry A. Factor, western manager
for the firm Of Albert Pick & Co.,
Chicago. Mr.. Factor was visiting
friends. He was awakened by light
shining in his room and was con-
fronted by two armed robbers. Mr..
Factor leaped from his bed and crap
pied with one Of the men when the
other struck him on the head with
the butt of a revolver and knocked
him to the floor. Mr.. Factor called
for help and a third robber who had
been acting as lookout, entered. The
thugs secured money and jewelry
valued at $4,000 and escaped.
Mr.. Factor witnessed the parade
Saturday night and later went to a
cafe. At the time he was wearing n
novelty stud Of diamonds and rubies
and also a valuable solitaire diamond
ring, and he said he believed the
thieves saw the gems and followed
him to the Henry apartments.
The robbers forced their victim to
stand facing the wall and they quick
ly made a search Of the room. They
took diamond stick pin from the
dresser and then removed large
diamond ring from MIR. Factors fing-
er. Under the pillow they found a
ring containing thirteen stones. They
also found watch and chain and
800 in cash.
The robbers gained entrance by a
rear door. The door was locked and
a chair had been placed against 1t,
but the thieves reached down from
the transom pushed the chair away
and then turned the key in the lock.
The police were notified quickly,
but were unable to get trace OF the
robbers. Mr.. Factor was not ser GUS
ly wounded by the blow on the head .
He said one of the robbers was a
tall man while the other was short :.
The robbery was investigated by
Detectives Cleveland and Seager, who
said they were unable to account for
the manner in which the robbers
gsined entrance to the house.
Mr.. Factor said this morning that
he Yves a guest at the Hotel Utah
but had gone to the apartments that
are conducted by Mrs. Clara Steph-
enson, after leaving the cafe. He
said:
81 started to leave the place, but
she induced me to remain, saying she
was afraid Of being robbed. I had
gone partly down stairs when she
came down after me and took me
back. She fixed up a bed for me
and Mrs. Stephenson and her com
panion went to the back porch After
the robbery called Mrs. Stephen
son but the burglars had gone"
Mr.. Factor this morning offered
reward of 800 for the return of his
diamonds. Mrs. Stephenson told the
police that she personally locked the
back door and placed chair under
the knob and key. How the door wa'
opened from the transom Is puzzlins
to the police; one theory that hal
been advanced IL that 1t was opene<
by means Of Q broom.

SKIRTS TIGHTER THAN EVER
Are Slit to Allow the Wearers Some
Freedom of Movement

London Gable to New York Times.
,. according to London fashion ex-
pert who has just returned from
Paris, the dressmakers of that city
are proposing not merely to revive
the hobble skirt, but to make it
tighter than ever, so that women will
be almost unable to walk in it. This
London expert says:
"The skirts I saw in Paris were
so tight that the wearers could
scarcely walk. The dresses are
frightfully ugly. In some cases they
are draped up some inches in front
or on the side to allow the feet some
little movement, and are arranged
with folds of the material in drap-
ings around the thigh and tapering to
skirt around the ankles.
"The draped hobble is more in
sidious than the plain hobble skirt.
1t has deceived everybody because the
fashion prophecies led women to be-
lieve that the hobble skirt was dead;
that folds and draperies were COM
ing in, and, therefore, that skirts
were bound to be fuller, and that
more material would be used. The
extra material, however, is used in
draping the bodice and around the
hips, and leaves but a wispiness of
skirth around the ankles.
I'm very many cases skirts are so
narrow even in tailor-made costumes,
that they must be split in Directoire
fashion up to the knee, or even above,
either at the side or in front. In
many cases buttons and buttonholes
allow the wearer to determine how
long the slit shall be-"
almost all the new Parishian
skirts are slit-they must be-" said
another Londoner back from the
French capital.

TILLMAN SCORES
OFFICE SEEKER
Denounces Scramble for Government
Jobs Bitter about Applicants-Re-
fers to them as Reminding Him of
the Wild Asses of the Scripture.

Benz. R. Tillman, of South Carolina
tonight evinced his displeasure at the
persistency of hundreds of office seek
ers who have flocked to the capitol
since the Inauguration. With char
acteristic vigor the senator condemn
ed the scramble for jobs. He said the
situation reminded him OF Bible
text. "I have forgotten just where
in Holy Writ I read it," he said, "but
1t fits the case exactly and runs
something as follows: "The wild ass
es of the desert are athirst and hun
cry. They have broken into the
green corn"
The senator recalled the text con-
tanned reference to the "w;ld asses.
trampling down the corn, but he said
he would leave that out. He added
that he had full faith in President
Wilson as "herdsman", who would
keep the wild beasts from doing any
damage.
