BUSY NICHTFO ROBBERS CITY
Burglars Loot Two Homes and Make Good Hauls; Thief Frightened From Home of Judge Kent Be fore Getting Booty

Burglars were busy in Phoenix last night. During the early part of the
 evening police responded to three calls
 from householdors in different parts of
 the city, but despite the activity of the department, none of the marauders were captured
 What was perhaps the biggest job of
 the evening was pulled off at the resi- dence of Dr. Isidore Fernberg, at Third
 street and Columbus avenue The Fernbergs had spent the Evening at a downtown show and during their ab-
 sence three ladies, Miss Carrie Gibb Mrs. Joe Rickard and Mrs. Moeller
 went to the home with the expectation of calling on the family. A light was
 burning in the house, and the ladies supposing that the family was at home walked into the house. They found the place was being footed and that the thieves lad ransacked the house The
 men made a hasty exit through the rear of the house. MT. and Mrs. Fern berg arrived home at about this time An examination of the place revealed that the robbers had escaped with val uable articles of jeWelry, including a necklace two brooches, jewel box and
 other articles which brought the total value of the haul up to nearly $250 Among other things taken by the robbers were a number of morphine and cocaine tablets and hypodermiC syringe, which Dr. Fernberg happened ! to have in the house at the time.
 They also took time to eat d large quantity of cooked chicken, pies, cake
 etc, which they took from the pantry The police are inclined to think that some dope fiend may have done this job and are keeping lookout for such l a character.
 At 10:30 a call was sent into the po- llice station telling of the robbery Of the home of James McNaughton. at SIC | West Madison street The family was absent from home and upon their re- turn they found that the man or men | had gained access to the house from 1 the rear and had completely overturned ] the house furnishings in their search
 for valuables. According to the list of stolen articles reported to the police | the thieves got away with the follow l ing articles: One diamond pin. d pail of shoes, a 3S-calibre revolver. a Win
 chester shotgun, suit of blue cloth ing a g Iver Johnson revolver and a number of other valuable articles | They left no clue as to their identity | The attention of the police was aIsc
 called to the attempted robbery of the home of Judge Edward Kent, 162.
 West Adams street. The judge re- turned to town at 9:30 o'clock and ar
 rived in time to see man making his
 getaway from the rear part of the
 house. A search disclosed the fact thai
 the man had not had time to get any
 thing of value, but had apparently | been scared by the timely arrival o the owner of the place

Eight war vessels-two Daitleships,

sank the enemy" battleships Texas
and Nevada and the enemy" de-
stroyers Wadsworth and Cooper. Ad-
miral Helm has so far lost" the

destroyers Tanning. Drayton and
Balch.
It Is believed here that the FEN
emy" battleships were destroyed"
early In the fight by destroyers.
