JUDGE LYON LED FIGHT
OVER WAR RESOLUTION

But for the opposition of former
Judge Adrian Lyon, of this place,
one of the delegates from the state
society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, a resolution would have
been passed at the national congress
of the organization at Chicago last
week asking the government to be
prepared for war at all times, which
in effect was a warlike move on the
part of some or the members of the
society.
Judge Lyon, as did many others
in the convention, opposed the pas
sage of the resolution so strenu-
ously that 1t was not only tabled,
but all reference to it was expunged
from the minutes. Judge Lyon was
the first to begin the fight against
the resolution on the grounds that
just at this time the resolution would
seem too beligerent to coincide with
the diplomacy which should be OBJ
served while this nation is at odds
with Japan.

articles taken from Mr.. Garry's room
included a Colt revolver, a bag con-
tanning 81 in pennies, a solid gold
chain, two pearl stickpins and a fra
ternity pin.
The Lipschitz home, which Is
located in a four-family apartment
house at II Brighton avenue, was
entered either shortly before. or soon
after the time of the Hughes rob-
berry. There Is evidence that indi-
Gates both thefts were committed by
the same party. The Lipschitz fiat,
located on the ground floor, was en-
tered by using key in the rear door,
The cash taken, amounting to about
$3.50, was removed from dime

ed the robbery to the police at 11:25
O clock. Patrolman Hartmann was
detailed. to make an investigation of
both cases.
1t was the third attempt to enter
the Hughes residence since last fall.
About three weeks ago, Mr.. Hughes
arose one morning to find key of
the kitchen door on the floor, as
to indicate that an effort had been
made to enter. Before climbing the
porch to force the bedroom window
Saturday night, the thieves made
vain attempts to pry open the kitch-
en- and sitting room windows. 1t is
evident that the burglars admins

move when he came home. Neigh
bors say they saw a light in the
house about 9;46 o'clock, time
when none OF the regular occupants

mated at 5000.

The homes of Lambert R. Hughes
and Louis B. Lipschitz were entered
and robbed Saturday night. A small
amount Of cash jewelry, a Colt re-
volyer and some eatables were taken
from the Hughes residence at 1879
High street. About $3.50 in cash
and some small articles, including
small pieces Of iewelry, were taken
rom the Lipschitz home. Occupants
of both residences were out at the
time of the thefts..
A peculiarity in connection with
the Hughes robbery is that especial
pains had been taken TO keep burg
lars away from the house. Mr..
Hughes had a watch dog to guard
the house at night and Mr.. Garry, a
roomer, purchased a thirty eight call
bre Colt revolver following the late
series of robberies to guard himself
III case he should find thieves in his
home. The dog failed 10 work some
how or other and Mr.. Garry WAS not
at home to manipulate the revolver.
The thieves carried 1t away together
with the other loot.
1t Is believed the Hughes home
was entered sometime between 1880
and 1890 o'clock Saturday night.
Entrance was gained by using
Jimmy to force open rear window

form bill and the new jury bill Of
