Front. Smash Window and
Seize Tray of Diamonds.
WOMAN BLOCKS POLICEMAN
Twenty Shots Exchanged Be-
tween Thieves and Pursuers
in Chicago Streets, but
Robbers Escape.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Four automobile
bandits, in spectacular robbery,
smashed in a jewellers window here
to-day and escaped with tray Of dia-
monds after running revolver fight
with police
The thieves stole a car in front Of a
downtown business building late in the
afternoon, halted in front of Clark

Policeman Charles Hanson ran up.
but at that moment handsomely
dressed woman shrieked and threw
herself into his arms. Hanson could

automobile sped away as two other po-
licemen opened fire on them. The ban
dts returned the fire. one of the rob-
bcrs was seen 10 fall into "A seat Of the
machine. and is thought TO have been
wounded. The woman, who had APP
peared to faint, recovered as soon as
the men escaped.
Twenty shots were exchanged IS the
machine gathered speed. The chauf-
feur manipulated the exhaust so that IT
poured out cloud of smoke. which
aided in the mems escape. Policemen
ran after the car. and at the next
corner Communicated a passing high
| powered automobile and ordered its
chauffeur To pursue the thieves, but
they had so good start that they out
dstanced their pursuers.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Surgeon General Torney in an
Awkward Dilemma.
/ .om The Tribune Bureau
Washington, January

GENERAL TORNEY IN DILEMMA
Brigadier General George II. Torney, sur
seon general of the army. finds himself
facing a serious situation because of a
mysterious delay in sending to the Senate
his nomination for reappointment as head
o. the army medical department. General
Torney's four-year tour OF duty as surgeon
general will expire on January IA, by
which date his nomination must receive
Senatorial confirmation or ne will be per-
manently separated from the military es-
tablishment. He will cease to be an army
officer. and he may escape this only by
applying for retirement should he per-
ceive that Senatorial action in his case
will be delayed beyond January IA. This
is the awkward dilemma in which every
bureau chief may find himself under ex-
listing law, IL his reappointment is not
made by the President with Senatorial ac-
ton in anticipation Of the date when the
term expires. His commission, not only
as bureau chief. but as an officer OF the
army, may be automatically revoked
1t has been the custom to see that not
too short a time for Senatorial action in
tervened. In this case. however. there
were circumstances which prevented the
President from sending General Torney's
nomination i'm until to-day. As the mill
tary committee. 10 which the nomination
will be referred, does not have session
until Thursday, there will be only four
legislative days on which it will be pos
sble TO confirm the nomination.

You ask me two questions: % DO you
believe the present business prosperity
is founded on a substantial basis? &,
I'm your Judgment, is there any reason
to expect a checking OF business growth
during 1892"
Both queries ask for opinion. Without
taking space to assemble supporting ma
terials for my judgments. | answer di-
rectly TO ~ Business generally has been
so conservatively directed since 1897 that
| regard foundations for covering pros
perty to be unusually substantial.
(2) Unusual basic crops and fundamental
tendency to rising prices are two good
reasons for expecting a steady business
growth during 1913. No one can foretell
with any assurance possible tariff legis-
laton. a credit withdrawal or world war
which might check the business growth
normally due for 1918

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

Replying briefly to your inquiry oo
believe that the present business pros
perity of the country is founded on SUD-
stantial basis. on the other hand it
would be rash prophet who would con-
fidently declare that the tarin changes
that must assume definite form in ne"
tariff act during the coming year VIII not
act as a check on business prosperity
Some of the reductions that have beeh
proposed would certainly be disau-
vantage TO the branches OF production
affected. After time permitted readjus,-
ment to the new conditions | believe the
nrosperitv OF the country would not be
lessened in consequence. but temporary
reaction might very well result.

HAVERFORD, PENN

HAN DnT Ohbp i<<'s'f
In reply TO your questions, In my opin'
ion the present business prosperity -
founded on a substantial basis. TO 4
very considerable degree the business re-
newal is a consequence OF the great crops
of the present year. Whenever sucn
crops are produced the railroads have
more business. and as soon as they arc
assured of this they always begin I'M
provements extensions. etc. and their
action in due time quickens the entire
circle OF industrial activity. All OF the
great railroad systems have plans for
extending hundreds OF millions whenever
they feel justified in doing so. and TINS
vast expenditure. of course, means the
greater employment of all kinds OF actiV-
ties-in a word, greater prosperity.
On the other hand, less favorable re-
turns from the soil next year, or any
other year. would doubtless check the
course OF business. As for legislation, We
have no reason for supposing that. Con-
gress will Intentionally do anything 10
check prosperity. One party Is just as
deeply interested. both directly and midi
rectly. In continuing IL as the other. AZ
for tariff changes. they may have the
effect ultimately OF reducing prices and
diminishing profits. but business VIII
adapt itself to them and not be ruined BY
them. One OF the most serious phases OF
business is the constant effort TO jack up
prices. thereby unsettling business ara
domestic calculations and expectations
and increasing the general discomfort.
The I'll effects of this process are becom-
ing more and more manifest In the bust
ness world. Our future prosperity de-
ponds in no small degree on properly re-
straining this movement and I'm equahz-
ing and sustaining prices at juster levels.

U. P. GETS S. P. DIVIDEND
No Legal Obstacle Yet-Mandate Not
Sent to Lower Court.

Speculation In the financial district az
to whether the regular liz per cent quar-
terly dividend OF the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. which was declared
payable January 2, would be paid has
been set at rest by the action Of the fiscal
agents In paying the dividend In the usual
fashion, II was at first thought that the
dissolution decree of the United States
Supreme Court might prevent Union Pa
cifc from receiving It's share of the divi-
dend. amounting TO Sl,9O0,00
In view OF the fact that the dividend
was declared before the handing down OF
the decision. and as the mandate Of the
Supreme Court has not yet been sent to
the lower court, IL Is said that there is
no legal obstacle to the dividend being
paid at the regular date.

Plan to Cut High Cost Of LiV-

Washington, May 27.-A sharp cut
in the high cost of living through the

direct delivery of farm products to the
consumer is the aim of the Pepper
and Salt company" in which many
prominent people are said to be inter.
ested, among them Clifford Pinchot
former chief forester, and P. V. De
Graw, former assistant postmaster
general.
The company" has applied to the
commissioners of the district for space
in the municipal market in which tc
receive and disburse wares to its
stockholders.
The plan is to cater to 10000 fam
lilies in the beginning, who will be solo
farm products at slightly above cost
The customers will be supplied through
300 of the business housekeepers il
selected localities, who, for their serv
ices, will receive their food supplies
free and in addition be paid a nomina
salary.
