airy, without notifying his family Of his
illness.
Just before entering the hospital the
young art student told Ida of his love
for her and begged her to marry him az
once. While she is said TO have admit
ted that she did not love him. her sym
pathy for him and her desire TO see
him safely through the operation were
so strong that she impulsiyely consent
ed. They were married i'm Brooklyn.
Then the bridegroom was operated
upon and the trouble affected his brain
so that he died within three weeks,
never having lived with his bride. Ida
accompanied the body 20 Detroit for
burial, and il was then that the family
first learned that the son had married.
Morris had property in his own right,
and IL is said that after the funeral ms
sisters virtually accused Ida Of marry
ing their brother for his money. There
upon she became indignant and. sum
moning an attorney, legally waived all
claims on her dead husbands estate
and assigned any interest that might be
hers to her father-in-law. She then re-
turned to this city and married Arthur
VI. Walters soon afterward.
Ida Walters is beginning now TO
show the effects Of the strain of fac
ing a murder charge. She is in a
condition bordering on collapse. At
Lebanon Hospital it was said last
night that she was suffering from a
high fever, aggravated by general
nervous condition.

Rome. Jan. l2-"The German denial

JEWELS SNATCHED
IN B'WAY WINDOW
Three Men Break Glass,
Grab $4,000 Worth and
EIude PurSuers.

Smashing a window with a brick
wrapped in a newspaper, thieves got
away with $4,000 worth of jewels last
night from the shop of Henry Silberfeld
at 1898 Broadway The methods were
somewhat similar to those employed
FIVE months ago. when the jewelry shop
window of NJ. Rosenthal & Sons. at
1866 Broadway, was looted.
J, was near closing time, and the
street was wellnigh deserted because of
the storm. Several customers were in
the store and the night watchman had
gone inside to get the iron shutters
which are put up every night. Three
rren were huddled in front of the win
dow as though sheltering themselves
from the rain.
With a tinkle Of broken glass the
broad. pane fell inward. and eager
hands grasped at the jewels. Before
Silberfeld or his clerks could reach
the street the thieves had vanished
into the storm. Two ran west on
18th ST.
Joseph W Best, an employe of a
LtdIDN res "a vi amt pu4 SNtu tutihs iAN
was gaining on them. and got close
enough to see that a rope of diamonds
dangled from the pocket of one Of
the thieves. As Best put on an extra
burst of speed in the hope of graspiDg
his man, a taXicab chauffeur drove his
car on the sidewalk between the pur-
suer and his quarry. Best stopped in
time to save himself a tumble, but
both fugitives got away.
Silberfeld and his clerks reached
Broadway to find that the apparently
deserted street had sprung into sud
den life. A jostlng throng pushed and
showed about the wrecked window. No
policeman was in sight, and none ap-
peared for half an hour He explained
that the robbers had chosen moment
when he was at the furthest end OF
his post.
They had also selected the more
valuable Of the two windows. Inc
other was filled for the most part with
silverware, which would have been too
bulky for such a raid. The rope Of
diamonds which Best had seen trailing
from the pocket of one of the men was
valued at 81 200. One ring worth $3.50
and another valued at $3.50 were taken.
Half a dozen others were said to be
worth from $500 to $500 each. One Of
the most valuable articles in the win
dow. a ring worth $4,000, was over
looked A fragment of the broken win
dow fell directly upon it, hiding it from
the looters.
Almost distracted. Slberfed. his
clerks and watchman battled with the
curious crowd, seeking to keep them
from the demolished window, where
fortune in Jewels was exposed. On
teleDhoning to Headquarters Silberfeld
was told. he said, to keep calm, as de
tectives and policemen would get there
in due time. ,.
All that remained for the policemen

which the brick had been wrapped. 1t

pear before Justice JaycoX in the
criminal branch of the Supreme Court

Advance Against Egypt
Abandoned by the Turks

Athens, Jan. 12.-lt is asserted m
well informed circles that the Turks
for the present have abandoned the ad-
vance against Egypt. In Constantinople
anxiety regarding the possible forcing
of the Dardanelles continues. Il is
evident that the situation for Chris
tians is extremely precarious, even in
large cities, and Talaat Bey, Minister
for the Interior, has told the councillor
of the Greek PatriarcLate that in Tur-
key henceforth there would be room
only for Turks.
While he was profuse in his assur-
ances to the Greek Minister regarding
the cessation. of anti-Greek perseeu-
tions. no real amelioration of the sit
uation is .perceptible. The insurgents
have occupied and placed artillery on
the heights commanding Durazzo. The
Turks are again fortifying the Tcha-
taldja lines.

Justice Gof IS opposed to the indis-

terday he rejected the petition of one
Posinka, who wanted to change his
name to Pose because his name was
an unpleasant reminder to him of the
country of his birth and also because,
he said, he was made the subject Of
ridicule.
In denying the petition Justice Gofr
said: Unpleasant recollections of ma
tive country. revived by name. do not
furnish sufficient reasons for the
change. Neither do the differences be-
tween Pose and Posinka or the diff
culties in pronunciation of the latter.
There is nothing inherent in the name
Posinka to subject its owner to ridicule.
1t is the man that can make it honor

his felIow toWnsman, the efforts now

that DR.. Hardman should be his sue
