made that the franchise be conferred
on women on the same basis as men.
The majority by which the house
of commons reaffirmed its adhesion to
the principle of woman suffrage as
tonished the warmest supporters of
the measure. This was due partly to
the lack of interest shown at times in
The long drawn out debate.
Opponents of the measure, among
other arguments, made the best they
could of the reports received here OF

Sir Frederick G. Banbury, Unionist
for instance, described Miss Rankin as

When ]. H. Schuldt in charge at the
Cudahy stock yards near the fail
grounds, came to the office about sew
en- o'clock this morning, he found the
door broken open. This had been
done violently. The easement was bad
ly smashed and torn.
Burglars had entered the place and
it was found that quite number OF
articles were gone. These included two
handsome buggy robes, a sheep skin
coat, a pair of pants and a Stetson
hat, all belonging personally to Mr..
Schuldt; also plane, pair of pliers,
a hammer, a Ratchet, screw driver
and 50 worth of postage stamps, the
property of the company.
He called up the police station and
an officer was sent at once to investl-
gate.
1t happened, rather early this
morning, that another officer of the
police department, who happened to be
IN a street car going by the Wiseman
second hand store on North Front
street, noticed that three men, who
appeared to be strangers in the city,
were at the store, and seemed to be

L The officer left the car and went
cover to the store. One of the three
men "smelt a rat and made a break
for liberty. He made run, but the Of
{ ficer overlook him, and the other two
were in the mean time detained at the
store.
These three had in their possession
two robes, one plane and one pair OF
pliers. The men and the goods We're
taken to the police station. There for
the first time, this officer heard of the
burglary. The robes, pliers and plane
were soon identified.
By questioning the three men, the
police found out that the gang included
five, and the officers at once set at
work to find the other two men and
the rest of the stolen goods. The pris-
oners spoke German, but that did not
prevent free communication between
them and the police.
Two of the officers took one of the
prisoners, the very one who had made
the sensational attempt to escape at
the second hand store, with them to
assist in rounding up the two that were
still to be arrested.
Two More Arrests.
Later in the morning the police ar
tested two more, who were members
IF the same gang, at Vine and Front
streets. The hat, pants and coat were
- ound not far from the Fowler & Pay
4 saw mill.
None of the men would admit break

having been with the gang, and sever
al admitted picking up the stuff. They
seemed disposed to blame each other
for the actual breaking in of the door
1t appeared from this conversation
that all belonged to that numerous
class of men that float about the
country, doing odd jobs here and there
and often working in the harvest
fields in the fall. Some of the men
said they were on their way to dc
work on sugar beet farms.
The one who first tried to escape
and later became real aid to the po-
lice, was a big fellow who gave the
name of John Jnken. The others gave
the names of George Fischer, John
Kuschefe, Max Hoover and Philir
