Arrest Results When Detective
Uses Little Son as
Decoy

A young woman who said she was
Miss Esther Bowers, of 534 West Fifty
third Street, was arrested in West Ho-
boken yesterday, and is alleged TO have
confessed to the police there that she
had averaged S15 day by robbing chill
dren in Jersey City, West Hoboken and
Union Hill.
For several months the police Of the
three Jersey towns have received COM
plants from the parents of children
who had been seIt 20 banks and stores
on errands. and Who had been robbed
by a small blonde woman Of sums
ranging from 81 to $40. The children
said the woman had stopped them and
sent them on an errand. She offered
10 hold their money until they got
back, they said. When they returned,
in every instance, the woman had dis
appeared.
Detective Lieutenant Angelo Stanton.
Of West Hobohen, yesterday stationed
his small son, with a handbook and
some money, near the entrances to two
banks. The decoy led to the arrest of
Miss Bowers, who, the police say, de-
clared that she was unable to make
living as a sewing machine operator,
and had found the scheme Of robbing
children more remunerative. She was
stylishly dressed when taken into Gus

the local "commissary' of the central
authority. Accordingly, the plan Of a
sudden and surprise visitation Of the
imperial villas was worked out, and
several natives of Yslta were dis
patched 70 the spot 10 make coniiden-
tial preparations.
Lieutenant Levgoft, 10 whom was in

of house with his detachment 81 .
o'clock in the morning, and placed SEN
tries at each of its SIX entrances, with
orders 10 prevent either ingress or
cgress. He then occupied the empty
rooms with troops. and went up TO the
boudoir Of the dowager empress, at the
door Of which he knocked three times.
As he received no answer he entered
the room, and it was only then that the
Czaritza awoke.
The lieutenant explained his mission
with the words: "In the name of the
Provisional Government | must carry
out a search of your premises" He
then requested the Empress TO place
her hands above the coverlet. This she
did. and the officer read out the docu-
ments empowering him to fulfil his
mission. The Empress replied: 81 have
just arrived. There is nothing mere,
and | have undertaken no kind Of prop
aganda. do not understand what they
want from me-"
The officer then offered the Empress
the alternative Of either remaining
during the entire duration Of the
search in the position in which she
was, or of dressing in the presence OF
maid who had accompanied the de-
tachment for this purpose. She chose
the latter course. As result of the
search, which passed of without other
incident, about fifty pounds of CORE
spondence was seized.
The Empress protested against being
deprived of copy of the New Testa-
ment, which contained notes in her
own hand, but Lieutenant Levgof'
could only reply that ne was merely
acting in accordance with his instruc
tions. She evidently feared that her
jewelry would be taken from her, and
was obviously relieved when, at the
close of the search, the casket contain
ing it was returned to her. Among
