MAN STOLE TO SHOWER
JEWELS ON WOMAN
Prisoner Confesses to Robberies
as Means of Marrying Sweet
heart.

Ellsworth Mcdowell, the "aftcT-dinner
thief" who, the police say, has admit
ted having robbed five houses in West
Philadelphia during the last five days,
did so that he might shower jewels upon
woman with whom he was In love and
in order that he might have sufficient
funds to procure a divorce for this woman
and marry her, according to the police
OF the 55th and Pine streets station.
The woman Is said to be Mrs Ray
Schappel, of sic South Conestoga street.
a number of letters were found in Nc
Dowell's pockets showing that he was on
intimate terms with Mrs. Schappel, who
has been separated from her husband for
some time. Investigation showed that
Mcdowell had given her numerous dia-
monds and pearls and that he had an
nounced In the neighborhood OF his board
ing house, at 1929 Parrish street that he
intended marrying her as soon as he
could obtain a divorce for her from Mr.
Schappel now in Atlantic City
According to Sergeant Neelis, of the
55th and Pine streets police station, Mr..
and Mrs. Schappel were to have attempt
ed a reconciliation in this city today, but
it is believed that the effort will fail
now that Mrs Schappel's friendship for
the arrested man is known.
Mcdowell was coming from an alley
adjoining the house of James Cross, 49l4
Hazel avenue when James j. Llttleton, a
private watchman captured him. The
housebreaker told weird story to the
effect that he was a private detective
and engaged to get divorce evidence. Lit
tIeton doubted the tale and turned him
over to the police of the 55th and Pine
streets station
He was closely questioned by Acting
Detectives Fahy and Mahaffy and ad-
mitted entering the following houses dur
ing the last few days and stealing the
money named.

William Il, Kurtz a member Of the firm

stand Mr.. Watts motive for killing him

strain resulting from his wife's Illnesses
and operations"
Clarence NJ. Clark, another member of

the last few weeks the cashier had had a
hectic look, as II there were unusual

AME..g AN REJC.NDER
TO BERLIN INSISTS UPON
TREATY RIGHTS AT SEA
President Wilson to Leave
No Loophole for Quib-
bling Transmission De-
layed by Receipt of Gulf
light Note.
WASHINGTON. Inne s.

WASHINGTON, June g.
Only Germany can prevent a break in
the present friendly relations between
! itself and the United States. The Ameri-
! can rejoinder to the Berlin reply dealing
with submarine warfare leaves no loop
+ hole for quibblng. 1t demands as a mat
. ter of right that the United States be as
sured by Germany that the rules of the
seas, confirmed by that nations repre-
Sentatives TO the various international
conferences and set forth In existing
treaties be lived up to. The matter Is
very frankly stated not TO be one for
either discussion or arbitration. The
statements Of fact raised by the German
Government in connection with the Lusi-
tania have been brushed aside as irrele-
want, IL Is asserted that there is no truth
In the claim that the vessel was armed,
as she was examined just before she
cleared her dock.
The note would have gone forward
last night only that the German note on
the Gushing and Gulflight made 1t neces-
sary that certain references to them be
eliminated.
The state Department, therefore. had
not begun coding the note to Germany
at $3.50 a. m, today It was understood
1t was all ready to be coded, however,
work expected to take four or five
hours The general belief was IL would
go forward today or tonight, but this was
unofficial. II was presumed Il would
take about As hours in transmission. Fur
ther official news concerning II was
deemed unlikely until It is in Ambassa-
dor Gerard's hands.
CONTAINS NO THREATS.
The note contains no threats. 1t makes
no alternative proposals. Expressed in
friendly diplomatic terms it sets forth
that American citizens look to this Gov
ernment to protect them in their move
ments whether in or out of the war
zone.
Should Germany assent to the main Sro.
posal set forth, the United States will
willingly consent to discuss in detail the
facts in the Lusitania and any other
matters that Germany thinks can be eX-
planned.
The dispatch of the German Embassy's
envoy. Meyer Gerhard, tO Berlin, has
no bearing On the American action.
1t Is accepted that 1t will probably de-
lay the German reply, inasmuch as Count
Won Bernstorff has asked his Govern
ment to await Gerhardt's arrival before
acting. The embassy and other German
sources in this city remain hopeful
GULFLIGHT AND CUSHING.
SO far as all other questions between
the two governments are concerned they
arc certain OF adjustment. Germany's
statement that the Gulfight case was an
unfortunate accident" is admittedly very
probable, as the captain and first officer
Of the vessel admitted 1t was being con-
voyed by British craft. The promise to
settle the Gushing incident shows an evl-
dent willingness on the Berlin Foreign
Offices part to make all amends possible
