MRS. W. F. BORAH
VICTIM OF THIEF

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 21.-With
a daring born of absolute knowledge
members of the gang of diamond
thieves which has operated extensive
ly in Los Angeles hotels this and last
winter invaded the Darby hotel in the
fashionable West Adams street dis
trict Sunday night entered a suite of
rooms occupied by Mrs. w. E. Borah,
wife of United States Senator Borah
of Idaho, and secured diamonds valued
at several thousand dollars. A sum
of money estimated at $3.50 was also
taken.
The fact that the thieves burrowed
diectly into the bottom of one of Mrs.
Borah's trunks, removed the gems
and failed to disturb the other trunks
is believed by the police to show that
the work was done by an expert and
that he was fully informed before
hand of the whereabouts of the gems
The thief, or thieves, entered the
hotel from the rear, according to the
police, went directly to the apart
ment of Mrs. Borah, who was out at
entered the rooms by means
of passkeys and then quickly rifled
the trunk and escaped.
The largest jewel was a diamond
brooch valued at $500.
Mrs. Borah stated that she was I'M
able to place money value on the 9TH
err stolen gems. She said that they
were gifts from her husband and heir
looms. Her more valuable jewels
she wore and thus saved them.

The Hon. Burton L. French, who

the organization and work of the Am

1881 There are 100000 members in

The society is sustained by volun-

In touching contrast was the one

poor Russian working woman who
had saved up her small sum for
long time to give to the society.
The society was originally organic
ed with the thot of caring for the
wounded in war; Now their field ex-
tends to the relief of sufferers in such
disasters as big fires, floods, famines,

government clothes contracts, that ade-
quate pay be given to soldiers and that no
new revenue tax be imposed upon sugar.
Declaring that the Consumers League is
confronted by grave crisis, Florence Kel-
ley, its secretary, has sent out an appeal
for the preservation of the short-hour day
statutes and the maintenance of the pres
ent sanitation and safety measures.
Rather ironically comes the final phase
of the famous Danbury hatters' case in
voving the rights of labor to concerted ac-
tion as consumers. After thirteen years Of
legal warfare the order comes for the sale
on July 16 of the homes of the workmen
defendants under the hammer Of the
United States auctioneer to satisfy the
claims of d. Z. Loewe & Co. for dam
ages in the amount of S250,0O0. The cot
tages of the employees who were guilty Of
Loycotting will bring only 100000, thus
the sale will leave them homeless and in
debt, all in triumphant proof that the anti
trust laws of the United States are capable
of enforcement.

r IBERTY Bond distribution is COM
l. plete only in the sense that the banks
have underwritten a large block of the
81, 900, O00,O 900 bonds, though it is estimated
that two million people participated in the
purchase of the issue, thus making it a
peoples loan. Apathy characterized the
campaign in many reserve districts. New
York achieved distinction by greatly over
subscribing it's quota and furnishing about
40 per cent of the entire loan.
With an estimated loaning power of slO,-
900 900, 900 the banks accepted their final
share Of the burden lightly. but way has
to be made for the loans Immediately to
follow. Andrew Bonar Law, in the House
of Commons, announces that England has
borrowed q total of s2,000,000000 from
US already. The loaning habit has yet TO
be properly acquired by the American
people, lest, as the American Bankers
Association bulletin says, the banks be
asked to use for war loans an undue pro-
portion of funds which are required for
current business. Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo has been much criticised pr-
vately for his amateurish notions as to
billion dollar fotations among non-bond-
buying populace, the banks being obliged
to raise funds gratuitously to advertise
snd market this new commodity.
At various stages of the marketing
working committees reported the progress
as unsatisfactory" The West was charged
with apathy. and the retort was flung
back East. German newspapers capital
lied this sluggishness as colossal fall
ure of the Liberty Loan" France and
England were quick to congratu ate us on
its success. On the whole, the perform
snce is regarded as creditable to a public
unused to popular purchase of national
bonds.

NEGROES treking northward during
Y the last two years have wrought
a change in the labor market. Not
less than 100000 have joined the great
exodus, materially affecting the manhood
registration returns from the South. Ken
lucky and other states have imposed severe
penalties upon labor buyers acting as
agents for northern automobile factories
for soliciting" negroes to leave their
places in the South, though nothing as eff
fective as the fugitive slave law has been
instituted or invoked. The lure, according
to THE Crisis" the negro organ, is the
$3.50 wage in the North, assisted by the
spread of lynching and of negro enlighten-
ment in the South.
Complaint is made by 1.-THE Public" that
the Northern employers have made no ade-
ouate provision for the housing OF the
negro when he gets North. so that the
negro tenement question becomes acute
because of the social restrictions surround
ing negro real estate occupation, while

is untitled economically for city dwelling.
