NEW YORK ROBBERY
BATTLES SLEUTHS
No Clue Found to Thieves Who
Stole S25O,0OO in Jewels
in Pawn Shop Vault.

NEW YORK, March lS-Although
Deputy Commissioner Dougnerty sent
out thirty experienced detectives on the
mystery of the looting of the vault in
the pawnshop of Martin Sirnons & Son,
at 81 Hester street, no tangible clue has
been developed in what is acknowledged
to be the biggest robbery New York has
seen in a quarter of century.
Most robberIes are overestImated at
first, but not so in this instance. When
the elder Simons set the figure SunScy
at s250,OO0 he calculated oniy his loans.
He did not include the actual value OF
the Jewels Nor could he place hits
value certainly yesterday, his calcula-
tions being based on the percentage he
usually advanced in relation to actual
worth of articles pawned.
Mr.. Dougherty took charge in person
of the inquiry. He followed the course
Of the robbers, entering through the
cellar, proceeding to the main floor and
examining the roughly-huwn aperture
in the vault through which they had
squirmed. ..,.
He was told by the olde. Simons that
1t would be impossible to check of the
books and make list OF the stolen
articles for three days. at least. Even
then he will be unable to give descrip-
ton OF the missing property, for the
feCOTQS give only tne DaTeSl UeldllS. n
diamond pin, for instance, Is Set down
with no annexation as to its weight,
color or setting.
Mr.. Dougherty learned that not only
had pledged gems been stolen, but that
trays Of gems belonging 10 small 1awn-
brokers in the neighborhood might have
been In the habit of leaving their more
value article with 3imons & Son,
from Saturday night until Monday
morning. Whether any OF ,hese storage
deposits were made Saturday could moi
be ascertained. If so. Shcy would in
crease the loss.
What struck the commissioner as
most amazing was the fact that the
robbers had avoided the wires of the
Holmes Electric Protective system. 1t
seemed incredible that any one without
an accurate knowledge of just where
these wires were placed could have cut
above and then bored into the vault
without giving the alarm.
The records of the Holmes agency,
however, show that the vault itself was
unprotected, save for wires in the front
cabinet door. which spoke for itself, so
that any well posted robber would
avoid it, According to an official of the
agency, Simons & Son were warned
within the last few months that they
were not properly protected, and urged
to wire the interior of the vault at a
cost of $50 or to provide an inside cab
met at an expense of $500. Max Simons
explained that the firm had never cues
toned that the vault was burglar-proof,
and considered the proposed outlay a
needless expense.

REPUBLICANS GIVE
UP CAPITOL OFFICES
Democrats Displace G. O. P.
Tenants in Fine Quarters
in the Senate Wing.

1t looks like the first of May about
the Senate end Of the Capitol. The old
denizens Of the offices there are HOY
ing out and the new tenants are NOV
ing in.
The moving vans are busy, and a
small army of employees is engaged in
hustling boxes, packages and Looks
about The scene bears close reseInb-
lance to that of a baggage room at a
railroad station.
In general, the Republican Senators
are moving out Of their luxurious quar-
ters and the Democrats are moving in.
The changes are many. Senator Over
man. as chairman Of Rules. is taking
the handsome quarters Senator Crane
has occupied. Senator Simmons goes
into the suite Of the Aldrich monetary
commission. Senator Lodge vacates
beautiful and historic Office for the
little room of Senator Tillman up in
close proximity to the dome. Senator
Bacon goes into the beautiful rooms
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
long occupied by Senator CuIlom. Sem
ator OGormsn takes the suite senator
Penr0se has occupied. and so on.
A Republican Senator with an office
in the Capitol will from now on be
a scarce article. A few of the senior
Republican Senators will be allowed
small cubby holes where they can re-
treat and mediate, but all the good
offices will be taken by the Democrats.

As we have said, the Democrats have
kept their pledge in respect to the
downward revision of the tariff. Our
manufacturers will not be slow to see
that their profits ere no longer guaran-
teed by the govrnment. With fore
thought and intent the Democrats will
open our markets to foreign competi-
tiOn, with only such advantage as rs
afforded by ocean.carrying charges,
and to some extent by allowance for
difference in production cost. For the
first time in more than half a century
American manufacturers are made self
dependent, and they are plainly told
that if they find the foreign competi-
tor getting the better of them they
must seek in shop efficiency and lower
costs the relief they require-the gov.
ernment will not tax the people to in
sure their profits.
1t may prove that the lower duties
will in many cases yield higher reve-
nues.
We have not the least idea that the
Democrats have had in mind at all
their platform declaration embodying a
principle formulated by Mr. Tilden.
that tariff taxes "shall be limited to
the necessities of government honestly
and economically administered. Had
they been disposed to keep that prom.
Use they could have relinquished the
estimated $sO,OOO,OOO of revenue, and
more, without imposing the income tax.
But in that case the "pork barrel'
would have remained untitled, the first
regular session of the sixty-third con-
gress next winter could not with so
light a heart throw away S45,OOO,000

would have been hard beset for means
to get money out of the national treas
Jury for use in that form of bribery of
the voters which consists in securing
larger appropriations to be spent in

an unnecessary impost, the power to

Very recently he opened offices with

NONE OF OUR BUSINESS

Now You Know the Kind Of Informa-
ton the City Attorney Passes
Out.

When a reporter for The Capital
Journal called upon City Attorney
Page today for a statement in regard
to the assertion that he had advised
members Of the city council that paw
ing contractors could not be required to
give bond for the maintenance Of
streets for a period Of five years after
paving, the city attorney said;
"It's none of your business. p"
Page had evaded reply on this mat
ter since last Friday. Inasmueh as
certain aldermen state positively that
Page advised them that they could not
legally require bond from paving
contractors that they repair the paw.
ihg for a period of years after the
completion of the contract, it is not
hard, in view Of the attitude taken by
the attorney, to believe that he did so.
Those who have urged that a bond
be required have claimed that it would
insure better work on the pat Of con-
tractors, who would know that failure
to do it properly would mean that they
would have to make up for it later, in
the way Of expensive repairs
The recent contracts for the Marion
and Union street paving contain no
provisions for bond for repairs.
The Capital Journal sent represen.
tative to Page to get his side Of it in
spirit of fairness, and with view Of
getting the facts for the people, who
are deeply interested in the movement
for better improvements.
