The officers also were annoyed by the
hundreds of sightseers who visited, the
camp and insisted on special privilege
of being allowed to inspect every

Dorothy Denys as officer of the day

"YEGGMEN" GET $3,54O
FROM CHACONAS' STORE
Blow Safe at 9th Street and Louis
lana Avenue and Escape,
Leaving No Clue.

Safeblowers visited the place of busi-
| ness of p. J. Chaconas, Louisiana ave-
| nue. and 9Th street northwest. between
| midnight Saturday and ; o'clock this
morning, shattered the lock with an
explosive and obtained about $1,000 in
cash and $1,000 worth of Jewelry. They
got about $40 In change from cash
drawers.
1t was not until O'Clock this morn
ing, when Mr.. Chaconas and his en-
ployes appeared and opened the store,
that the robbery became known. Then
the police were appealed to, and De-
tective Weldon, night chief of detec-
tives, sent several members of the
force to begin an investigation.
! Detectives who visited the store fail
ed to find anything to suggest the time
the robbery was committed or to fur
nish a clue to the perpetrators of it..
Not for eight or ten years has such d
robbery been committed in this i'm
; mediate vicinity, the detectives said.
Yeggmen Seen Here Recently
The police believe the robbery was
committed shortly before daylight yes
| terday. 1t is reported that men who
have the reputation of being ''yegg-
| men, have been seen in this city dur
J ing the past few days
1t is said by experienced detectives
that the blowing of the Chaconas' safe
was one of the neatest jobs of its kind
ever done in this section of the coun-
try. AS far as is known the noise
caused by the blowing of the safe was
not heard from the street, but the con-
dition of the door of the safe is mute
testimony of the force of the blast
The brass knob of the door, battered
off with some heavy blunt instrument,
was found on the floor near the safe,
and the condition of the door made it
clear that no drilling of holes in which
to insert the explosive had been made.
A bar of cheap rosin soap was used
about the spindle hole to direct the
flow of the explosive and prevent il
from being wasted on the floor. the de-
tectives stated. and an old coat belong
ing to employe in the store was
placed sover the opening to deaden the
sound Of the explosion and prevent
pieces of the metal from flying about.
A ladder was placed against the coat
to prevent the garment from falling,
and when the explosion occurred one
step was blown from the ladder and
the coat partly burned and blown into
, shreds. The explosive shattered the
lock and made the opening of the steel
door and the taking of the jewelry and
cash an easy matter

Approximately $500 will be the ex-

Kitchener OF Khartum, and received
the thanks Of Parliament and grant
OF $4,000. Shortly afterward he was
promoted Lieutenant.General and then
Chief of STAFF to Lord Roberts in the
South African war, and on Lord Rob
erts' return to England In November
1900 succeeded him as Commander.
tn.Chief in that field. By constructing
a $500 mile chain Of block houses he
stopped the Boer raids and virtually
ended the war in South Africa. This
added to his popularity and prestige at
home, and he was rewarded by the IT,
tie OF Viscount, promotion to the rank
of General for distinguished services,
the thanks Of the Parliament and a
grant OF s250,00O.
Immediately after the peace General
Kitchener went to India as Command
er.in-Chief Of the British forces there,
and In this position which he held for
seven years. Q carried out not only
many far.reaching administrative re.
forms but a complete reorganization
and strategical redistribution Of the
British and native forces. On leaving
India in 1909 he was promoted Field

During all the years the British PEG.
pie had looked on Kitchener's silent,
but effective work, they had never
been able to fathom his personality. A
cockney non-commissioned officer,
who had seen much service under him,
summed up the general opinion when
he said Of Kitchener:
"'E's no talker. Not i'm. 'E's all
stel and h'ice."
His face was that OF a man who
neither asked for sympathy nor wanted
1t.
He had steady, blue.gray passion
less eyes, and a heavy moustach COW
cred mouth that shut close and firm
like a wolf trap. He believed with all
his might in the gospel of work. He
had illimitable self.confidence. For
bung(ing and faint.heartednes he was
incapable Of telling sympathy or show.

said to have ben the query with which
he annihilated dandified officer. He
was Indifferent to popularity, particu-
larry among women, and tough tested
all over the world In social circles,
he never married. In 1910 he paid a
brief visit to the United States during
trip around the world. At that time
1t came out In the New York papers
that the great Kitchener was "wo-
man natter" He took OCCASION to deny
this and said the only reason he had
never married was because he be-
l!eved a man could not be a good SOL

time.
