 Worth of JeWelry
AFTER $15,O00 NECKLACE
Two Men Despite Opposition of Wife of Millionaire Packer Escape With Early Today.

Chicago, Sept. Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, wife of the millionaire pack CT, today related the story of her experience last night with two mask ed and armed robbers who footed the Armour residence, 3,724 Michigan avenue, of jewelry valued at $,500.
 Mrs, Armour, although stunned for a moment by a blow on the head with a billy fought hand to hand with one of the robbers. She grasped the barrel of a revolver pressed into her face, threw it over her head, and began to struggle with the man, call- ing out an alarm to her servants.
 Mrs. Armour had retired for the night and not more than a half hour had passed when a knock was heard at her door. She called the name of her maid. The man answered in falsetto voice. Fearing something wrong, she threw open the door and stood face to face with a masked rob- per- His companion, in the meantime had overpowered three maids.
 Pressed Revolver in Her Face. T tried to shut the door," Mrs Armour said today, but the man thrust his foot into the opening and through this aprture pressed 8 re- volver into my face.
 II seized the barrel of the weapon and pushed it up over my head. Then I tried to push the door shut. But he hurled himself against the door nd rniC 1Ny' bringing it down on my head.
 T called for help but the servants were confronted with a revolver held by the second robber and forced into the room with me. "One of the robbers asked me where I had been and I replied to my Lake Forest home. Bring all your diamonds?' he asked.
 No I left most of my jewels up there y
 I'll knock your teeth down your throat if you don't tell where the stuff is'' he commanded
 Swept Dresser of Jewels.
 While Mrs. Armour and her maids were held in corner of the room under the threat of death to any one who moved, one of the robbers swept the dresser of jewels. Then all rooms were seached. Completing their task, the men ran down stairs and escaped through a back door. Tel ephone wires had been cut to pre- vent an alarm.
 Although provided with an excel lent description of the robbers, de- tectives had made no arrests early to- day.
 The Armour residence occupies one-half block and is guarded by a high iron fence, spiked at the top. There were several male servants, housemen, chauffeurs and even night watchman within the grounds, but none of them was aware of the robbery until after servants in the home had spread an alarm.
 After Pearl Necklace.
 The pearl necklace for which MT. Armour was obliged to !. pay S9,6OO duties when he brought it to this country from France in 1901 is be- lieved by the police to have been the loot sought by the robbers
 The necklace was valued by gov- ernment appraisers at more than $15, 900.
 The jewelry stolen by the robbers consists mainly of diamonds Only $75 in cash was obtained.

NO EXODUS FROM
j. s. BY THE WAR
ARMY RESERviSTS LIVING IN
THIS COUNTRY, NOT ANSWER
ING BUGLE CALLS.

Washington, D. c., June 11.-There
has been no general exodus from this
country of army reservists to join the
European belligerents.
A report issued today by the Blu
reau of, immigration, covering the de-
parture of aliens from the United
States to Europe in the ten months of
the fiscal year ended April 80 shows
that fewer aliens have departed than
during the same months a year before,
and that to only two of the belligerent
countries, France and Italy, has there
been an increased emigration.
The report shows a widespread de-
cline in immigration. indicating that
the total volume of arriving immi-
grants this year will fall below 500
600, as against more than 100000
in the fiscal year ended June 80. 1914.
Arrivals at all ports between Au-
gust 1, 1914, and May 81, 1915, totaled

marked decline at the ports of Balti-
more, New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, and the Atlantic coast ports
of Canada, where immigration drop
ped from 1,040,374 to 211,442. In the
first four days of June the total i'm
migration was LISP or zoos a day.
If this average is maintained the rest
of the month it will make total immi-
grafton for the eleven months of the

Italian immigration decreased from
2S3 GOO to $4,000, and German from
81. 900 to 1000.
Emigrant aliens departing from the
United States in the last ten months
totaled $4,000, as against $4,000 in
the last fiscal year. Where $4,000
departed for Austria Hungary, in the
last fiscal year. only 11.000 left in the
last ten months. Emigration to
France increased from 1900 last year
to 5000 this year; to Italy, $4,000 last
year to 10000 this year.
The number of Italians returning
home during the ten months was con
siderably more than half the total
number of alien emigrants departing.
This is not considered to be wholly
due to the war, however, as there was
large outward bound movement Of
Italians last year, and the figures for
this year cover period before the en-
trance of Italy into the war and be
fore the mobilization of reservists
was begun.
