TOSSED PEBBLES ON ROOF

What is believed TO have been an
effort TO enter the Joseph Horenn
home at 953 Lincoln highway e,
was made last night by the same
unknown burglar who shot officer
Rogers. The family was awakened
by pebbles being tossed on the roof.
They turned on the lights and the
noise ceased.
1t is believed that the purpose of
the robber in tossing pebbles on the
roof was TO determine the presence
Of the occupants. If no one respond
ed. it is believed that the operators
would nave attempted an entrance
10 me home. The matter was not
reported TO the police.

HOTEL HIGGINS SLUMPS

That the prosperity Of 1915 caused
q decided slump in the business of
the Hotel Higgins, South Bends

figures given out Monday night by
Sec'y Harry Josephson Of the board
of safety.
There were 1913 boarders at the
municipal boarding house last year.
and the year before 4.234 weary
wanderers spent night hours there.
Figures show business good, .
comments Josephson. but that good
business is bad for the Hotel de

! Immediately after Rogers was put
into the patrol the entire neighbor-

was searched by a score of officers
and others but no trace of the gun
man could be found 1t was thought
possible that Rogers might have
been shot by friends of four men
who were sent in from an old shack
near the Sample St bridge and
these men have been taken in by the
police for questioning.
! Rogers had been investigating the
robbery at the Harrison home just
preceding the shooting. A man had
entered the Harrison home about
1880 o'clock but had been fright
ened away by the screams of a col
Ored maid sleeping on the lower
floor. The girl heard a noise in the
kitchen and saw a fiashlight and her
cries gave the alarm to the Harrison
family. When they reached the
kitchen an open window was found
but the robber had not been given

This mornings shooting comes as
a climax TO a series Of robberies

liners. will be taken up at the same
time. Sen. Stone said. Both resolu-
tions come up tomorrow.
The steamer line at Cairo and AL
exandria have stated that the vessel
was torpedoed. But they have only
the opinions Of the survivors for
that belief. And until complete re-
ports are received here no definite
action can be taken by this govern
ment.
Officials, however. were positive in
their declarations that this govern
rIent must take steps now to compel
all o. the central powers to sub
scribe once and for all 10 a subma-
rine doctrine that will protect Ameri-
can interests.
Several Campaigns On.
The press dispatches telling Of the
sinking Of the steamers Glengyle, st.
Cswold and Kenkoku Maru have
convinced the state department that
a general submarine campaign is
being carried on in the Mediter-
Ianean in which vessels are being
sunk in violation of the pledges al
ready made by Austria and Ger
many.
Because Of this, officials say. the
question confronting the president
today was just how he can get all
CT the Teutonic belligerents to agree
to modify their methods so that the
constant menace of an act being
committed that would force Ameri-
can reprisals shall be removed.
The president had no set plan,
white house officials said. He and
Sec'y Lansing were inclined to favor
a joint note to Germany, Austria.
Bulgaria and Turkey, reaffirming
the policies of this government and
suggesting that a constant source OF
friction would be removed if all of
these powers would submit to the
United States the orders to their
submarine commanders which they
claim are in line with them. But
officials said very frankly that the
president would not reach any final
decision until after he has had op-
portunity to consult with the entire
membership of his cabinet and lead
ers in the senate and the house.
False Move Means War.
It is realized that a false move at
this time would precipitate the
United States into the war. The CEN
trail powers are jealous of their
rights and while their diplomatic
representatives here insist that if
Austria shall be proven at fault for
the sinking of the Persia she will
make every amend, they privately
blame Consul McNeely for taking
passage on an armed British ship
which, they say, he must have
known previously had been used for
carrying munitions to the Suez
canal
And, in connection with the ques-
ton of armed merchantmen il is
pointed out at both the Austrian and
German embassies that the only ex-
cuse for a merchant vessel being
armed under present conditions is
that she may be able to attack sub
marines. All German naval vessels
and commerce destroyers, with the
exception of submarines, are now
blockaded in German waters.
