Thief RELIEVES
MAN OF VALUAbLES
Jacob Fudeman Is Cleverly
Tricked By Artistic Bit
Of Roguery

Jacob Fudeman. 80 years old, buyer for
Isaac Saules. dealer in secondhand
clothing, of 62o Callowhill street, was
Arch street, near Broad, and after having
been tied to chair and gagged, was
robbed of $21, a signet ring and a watch
valued at $40, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. The robbery was committed by a
man who registered in the hotel on Fri
day. Following the theft he calmly
walked past the clerk, gave the bell boy
16-cent tip for carrying a suitcase to
the Broad street station and then disap-
peared.
The boldness of the attack was so start
ling that Fudeman looked upon the rob-
berry as a joke at first. The stranger
called up Saules yesterday morning and
told him to send man to the hotel to
buy up lot of secondhand clothing. The
man suggested that the merchant send
along $500. because he had several 1ne
suits of clothes to SELL Saules sent Fude-
man to look the supposed goods over. but
instead of taking along large sum he
carried only s21 with him.
When Fudeman applied at the clerk S
desk he was shown up to a room that
had been rented by man named +. /.
Duncan. According to the story related
by Fudeman, the buyer was cordially re-
ceived by its occupant.
''Have a seat" he suggested as Fude-
man entered the room
Just as soon as Fudeman had taken the
proffered chair the thief calmly walked
over, closed the door and then locked 1t.

HARTWELL WRITES
EXPLANATION Of
Conner ATTITUDE
Said 'If Whisky Interests
Make Liquor an Issue He
Will be Found on Tenn
perance Side"
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
My attention has just been called to an
interview which I had with one of your
reporters on last Thursday in Birming-
ham regarding the political situation IN
Alabama, in which my statement was
somewhat nisquoted. What did say to
the reporter was this:
I'm my opinion. Mr.. Conner would carry
Mobile county on account of the railroad
rate situation existing at our port"
He questioned me about the reversal OF
sentiment in the country and stated:
"We consider the prohibition question
settled. Besides, Mr.. Conner, in one OF
his public speeches in the opening of his
campaign, has said that that prohibition
was not an issue in this campaign and
he would not make 1t one. But II the
whisky interests did, they would find him
on the side of temperance, which state
ment he had confirmed in a letter to Mr..
Thompson"
l would not ask this correction. except
that certain corporation organs in Ala
bama have attempted to place the wrong

ished the thief, but II you open your
face l will fill 1t with lead"
Fudenan followed instructions. The
stranger opened a suitcase. got out a
piece of sash cord and tied his visitor in
a chair Fudeman complained that the
rope was hurting his wrists and asked
that 1t be loosened but the only satisfac-
ton he got was jab in the ribs with the
muzzle of the revolver.
When Fudenan's hands had been tied
behind his back and fastened to the chair
his feet were pulled together and secured
in similar manner. Reaching over 70
tho washstand the thief got towel,
which he showed into Fudeman's mouth
for a gag. Then another towel was wrap
ped around his head.
All the money Fudeman had with him
and also the watch and fling were taken
from him.
Where are those 200 bones / told you
to take along2" Duncan said In tones of
disgust. See all the trouble I've been
put to for such a small amount of money. =
With his victim effectually silenced and
tied in the chair the man placed the re-
volver back In the suitcase. He washed
his hands, combed his hair and then bade
Fudeman goodbye. A bell boy was at the
bottom of the stairway when the thief
came down. The boy was told to carry

by rubbing the rope around his wrists

ment as high as 100000 to 1000, 900
shares for stretch. The play twice
crossed 100000 shares in single ses-
sions. The iron and steel crowd had
gone crazy. Now 100000 shares is
a big market" and 100000 shares
is a substantial average. The morals
OF Wall street are better for the change
in methods and for the thinning out
of the gambling play. Brokers have
to be satisfied, figuratively speaking,
with dimes in commissions instead OF
dollars. Yet strange as it may seem,
there is as much real business done
at the present writing as when it was
nine-tenths froth and one tenth sub
stance.

ton was for about October /; now there

Union Pacific Problem

The company's officers are not dis
turbed but spectators are getting
dreadfully worried over the problem,
how Union Pacific will retain the use
of Central Pacific from Salt Lake to
San Francisco and the Central Pa
cific's wonderful terminals at Oakland"
Without railroad from Salt Lake to
Frisco Union Pacific would be tactical
ly where the late Mr.. Hartman was
before he bought control of the South
ern Pacific system from the Hunting
ton estate. If a new deal for Central
Pacific has been agreed upon its terms
have not been made known through
authorized channels and the public is
till in the dark.
Until the delicate question is settled
speculation thereon will be rife. Trad
ing in these specialties may be under
the influence of unbridled gossip un-
til the full facts are known and the
popular mind put at ease. The street
seeks to be advised as to what Judge
Olcott and his associates intend to do
with the $75,000,000 or therea bouts OBJ
tanned from the sale of Southern Pa
cific stock. At first it was going to
be distributed among Union Pacific
shareholders as sensational "melon" ;"
Then 1t was remembered that the pro-
ceeds simply represented cash paid
originally for Central and Southern Pa
cific control. and that possibly the
money derived from the transaction
should be returned to initial contrib
utors. Several other strange and SEN
sational situations were suggested
looking to solution of the problem
but at last accounts nothing final had
been done. Meantime the market is in
a quandary and traders are doing lot
of guessing. Judge Olcott and his
cronfes are sittin' still and sayin' nuth-
