UNIDENTIFIED BURGLAR
MAKES RICH HAUL At
SANFORD HOME.
THIEF MAY BE
CHELZCESKT'S PAL
Many Believe lie Is Man Seen
Here With Notorious Crook
From Memphis.

On Friday morning an unidenti
lied thief entered the home Of Mr.
and Mrs J. I. Sanford, No. s17
North Third avenue, and stole there.

'nservatively valued at $4,000. The
robbery took place while the house

triet to watch the parade of the Con-
federate Veterans, which then was in
progress. The thief climbed through
q cellar window, then forced open q
door to q stairway leading to the
main floor, and proceeded to ran
sack the house..
The articles known to be missing
ere o diamond pin, valuable dia-
mond brooch, four rings and a pair
OF cuff buttons. Other things may
also have been taken, as the burglar
seems to have leisurely ransacked the
whole house, taking whatever he
chanced to fancy.
Other houses in the neighborhood
were also visited, the burglar having
gone to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
3. Harrington, who live just across
ne street from the Sanford home.
where he told the servant who an
swered his ring that he was a tele-
phone repair man, and asked for per-
mission to examine the phone. The
servant told him that the phone was
Il good shape, and declined to let
aim in. After having been refused
adm'ttance to the Harrington home
the marauder proceeded to a house
IN another block which was former.
~ occupied by the family of Mr..
Thomas Keith, but which is now nm
tenanted. He evidently intended to
rob this house, but, finding it vacant
proceeded on his way.
Servants who saw the thief de.
scribe him as being white man Of
medium height, about 35 years old
and having light hair. He wore a
heat suit of dark clothes while n
gray cap rested jauntily uron his
head.
1t Is generally understood that
Haraloff Chelzceski, who was found
hiding in the belfry Of negro church
on North Sixth avenue last Sunday
and who was later identified as the
murderer Of May Goodwin, the
wealthy demi-monde, had a pal here
with him, and many people believe
that he is the man who entered the
Sanford home. Ever since Chelz..
ceski was arrested local police have
been looking for his pal, but have
not yet succeeded in locating him.
Mr.. Sanford has offered reward
of 500 for the recovery of the lew
elry and an additional reward of $50
for the arrest of the thief or for in
formation which will lead to his an
lprehension.

COTTON STALKS HAVE VALUE
Hitherto Regarded as Waste, They
Are to Be Turned Into Market
able Commodity.

Considering the fact that in the
of 100000 tons of
cotton stalks have been destroyed an
nually as worthless and only in the
way, the possibilities of plant capa-
BILE of converting them into paper and
artificial silk are readily comprehend
ed. A plant is now being erected at
Greenwood, Miss, which will be de-
voted to the preparation Of pulp from
cotton stalks, and it is said that owing
to the stronger fibers Of the cotton
stalk pulp, paper manufactured from
it is considerably stronger in proper
ton to it's thickness and weight than
that produced from the usual wood
pulp. 1t has been the custom to cut
and burn the stalks, after the cotton
picking season has ended, at a cost of
about a dollar a ton. The use Of cot
ton pulp is not limited to the making
of paper. The stalk fibers have been
found capable of withstanding the nj
trating process involved in the max
ing of gun-cOtton. The fbers also
produce an artificial silk, motion-pic-
ture films, and sucn chemicals as py
roxiIene, alcohol and acetone.

Scum Kitchens for Birds.

The establishment Of soup kitch-
ems" for the birds in the cemeteries
and city parks has been proposed by
A. J. Watson, scout commissioner, who
offers to have Boy Scouts maintain
them if the suet necessary is fur
nished free, states the Kansas City
Star. He also calls on all scouts to
feed the hungry birds about their
homes until the snow has melted
fully.
Scouts are taught to study bird life
and protect it. To feed the birds
scouts have found the best way is to
tie pieces of suet in trees and keep
grain and seeds in boxes also nailed to
trees.
The furnishing of the seeds is a
small item" Mr.. Watson said. ''The
scout organization will gladly do that
but it does not have the funds to fur
nish suet If any person or organiza-
ton will furnish it, the scouts will dis
tribute it."
