SUCCESSION OF THEFTS

NarraSansett Pier. R. l.. July ae-In the
height Of the season an orGanized band
Of thieves has raided this resort and ter
rorized the cottage colony on the ocean
front. Seventy-fve thousand dollars worth
|of tewelry has been stolen from the mod.
est cottage occupied by Mrs. Charles G.
Rumsey. daughter of the late z. H Har-
riman. This occurred between 1870 and
midnight Saturday.
On Friday night some one robbed Mrs.
John H. Hanan Of pearls and diamonds
valued variously by Mrs. Hanan at from
10000 to 100000. This robbery, more
mysterious and perplexing than the Rum
sey robbery, occurred between 1880 and
il O'Clock while Mrs. Hanan's maid was
out Of her mistress room

consequently. the ocean front of this
place Is lined with Burns detectives. and

possible second onslaught
Servants Are Suspected.
1t Is the theory Of the detectives that
the robberies was carried out In accord
ance with a well-considered plan. That
servants in the various places ON tbe
master robbers list were approached and
brought to concordance with the plot by
promise Of big shares in the loot. and
that Narragansett Pier was attacked
both from land and water, is the theory.
Tonight C. c. Tegethoff, agent for the
Hartman estate. Is in conference with
the Burns men. and it Is said that be-
fore this time tomorrow night a definite
accusation will be made. and much of
the mystery which surrounds the rob-
berry at the Rumsey House will be re-
moved. According to rumor the person
who opened the house to the robbers is
under surveillance.
The Hanan mystery promises to be
dissipated in much easier fashion ard
without the aid Of detectives.
Charles Talbot Smith Hanan, son of
Mrs. Hanan, intimates that IL Is likely
that his mothers Jewels will be restore

ants. 1t Is said that while the Jewels

MURPHY WILL BE TRIUMPHANT

1t is quite safe indeed to predict
that the revolt against t. Taggart, he
of the unctuous and smooth per-
sonality. will not amount to hill of
beans. Mr.. Taggart and Mr.. Tag
CARTS man Mr.. Murphy will both be
taken care of triumphantly in Lake
county at the Hammond district con-
vention and in the meantime those
unlucky wights who dared to desert
and to talk about bossism etc., might
as well be tied to milestone and
hurled into the sea as far as their
political future is concerned. Here
and there in the Tenth district there
is little dissatisfaction with boss
ism, but the fellows who are wearing
the collar are on the inside looking
out and those who are on the outside
looking in are not wearing the collar
They would like to, though And
that's where the rub Is.

CHRISTMAS IN THE STATE DE-

his Secretary of State to sign the cur

silver and one of gold

Mr.. Bryan. 1t would have symbolic

glorious idea which disappeared in
1896. after a term exactly the same
as that of the seventeen year locust.
Although Mr.. Bryan is deprived
this year of that great satisfaction,
his own pen has not been inactive in
the promotion of the Christmas spirit

YES SPARE US MARSHALL.

Washington reports are beginning
to say plainly what some people have
been suspecting was the case, that
President Wilson's health is not salts
factory. He was confined to his room
for some days, but the trouble was
CLOSED over In the dispatches, and he
was to be out and busy very quickly.
He got out, but was back in his room
again after a day or two. Now he Is
to take a vacation for three weeks
and will go south as soon as the cur
rency bill is signed
The last message to congress bore
internal evidence that the presidents
physical powers were tagging, and
his need of a rest was apparent to
any one who read it's predecessors.
Mr.. Wilson has been putting too
severe strain on himself. 1t is
quite time he recognized the fact. He
is not robust yet he has essayed a
task that Cleveland or Roosevelt
would not undertake in keeping con-
gress in session for an entire year.
The multitudinous details of the
presidential office are enough, and
more than enough, to tax the endur-
ance of any man, but when the presi-
dent adds to them the burden of guild
ing congress as Mr.. Wilson has tried
to do he asks too much of nature

JUST SIMPLE FAITH.

1t must not be inferred from the
above that we are getting sporty"
1t is simply that we have ideas and
dare maintain them; that we make
contracts and pay for failure to keep
them.
Because of its speed an excess fare
of two dollars is charged on the De-
troiter The contract between pas
senger and railroad company provides
that one dollar will be paid for each
hour an excess fare train is behind
it's schedule.
The New York Central has no
monopoly of this sublime faith in
things. The Evening Independent OF
st. Petersburg, Pa, is giving away
free on any day during which the sun
does not shine on ST. Petersburg.
In this instance the proprietor of
the paper knows his climate pretty
well. The record is twenty free
issues in three years.
1t wouldn't do for THE TIMES to
make such an offer. All it would
have collected for its last months
issues would be a copper cent with

ALAS FOR SIMPLICITY.

A special from Washington to an
Indianapolis paper is as follows:
Vice President and Mrs. Mar

liant entertainments. Thousands of
invitations to these functions will
be sent out during the next few
days. The first of the functions, to
take place on the night Of jan IL,
will be a. dinner to President and
Mrs. Wilson at Shoreham. the only
other guesSs being the members of
the cabinet and their wives. This
will be followed by four large re-
ceptions, Jan. 1e, Jan &c, Feb. 8
and Feb. 16. which will be followed
by the dancing. At each reception
there will be six hundred guests.
The guests at these receptions will
be practically all the dignitaries in
Washington. including the supreme
court, diplomats and members OF
both houses of congress"
