LADY HGHWAYMEN"
LATEST IN CHICAGO
Strong Arm AmazOns Rob Gotham
Drummer in Hotel Room.

. CHICAGO. June 14.-when Sam
schiff gets back to New York he'll
tell the folks a story that will fade
those yarns about Indians and stage
coach hold-ups "out in Chicago"
Sam was sorting, his samples-he's
a salesman-last night in his room in
the Palmer House. He had left the
door aJar. A woman, blond, weight
not less than 165 pounds, and well
dressed, stepped in. Sam said she
was a stranger to him, and when she
asked him where the ladies' parlor
was he told her and went on working
Just then another women entered,
and Sam says before he knew II
those two husky amazons had gripped
bis arms and extracted 800 from his
pockets. The next Sam knew the
women had flung him on the bed and
had gone and locked the door.
But in a city OF woman suffrage
and policewomen, why not highway
women as we'll? 1t was reasoned by
the drummer

WOUNDED THREE TIMES,
MAC WANTS REVENGE
Southener in London Hospital
Awaits Americans Coming.

LONDON, June 14.-Introducing Mr.
Harry McSiichael. OF Augusta, Ga.
Mac has been strafed thrice by the
Raiser's missiles, but he hasn't taken
the count yet, and all he wants is an
other shot at a spiked helmet.
Mac learned the game in the Second
United States Cavalry. He Joined the
Fifteenth Canadian Battalion in June.
1915. A machine gun bullet hit HIS
leg in the fall Of that year. Back
from the hospital, a shell fragment
nicked his brow as he went cover the
top in a charge.
Back once more from "blighty,"
Mac took q stretch and a yawn in
view of the German trenches and a
bullet bored his Jaw. removing fve
teeth. Today. in the hospital, the sol
der of the South is just getting on
his feet again. He wants TO join the
Americans when they arrive-and his
ear is eager for the welcome sound
of Dixie"

STORES RUM FOR LIFE,
RUTLAW NABS IT ALL
Nebraskan Loses 1000 Gallons,
His Forty Years Supply.

OMAHA, June 14-Before State
wide prohibition went into effect in Ne
braska on May l OF this year. Anton
Larson, a farmer living near Omaha.
went around to a life insurance COM
pany, had himself examined and found
that according to the mortuary tables
he would probably live for forty years
Then Larson bought himself a forty
years supply OF liquor and Salted 1t
away out at his farm. He built q spe-
cial house for the liquor and stored
1t away In the most systematic manner.
There were 1000 gallons Of beer,
whisky, brandy. wine. and other drinks.
Larson had estimated that he would
drink 100 gallons every year for the bal
ance Of his lifetime. That Is nearly
third Of gallon a day.
Under the Nebraska prohibition law
an individual can have q reasonable"
amount OF liquor in his own home.
provided his supply was purchased
and laid in before the law went into
effect. After the law became effec-
tive no further liquor could be
brought into the State.
But Larson made one mistake in
storing his life supply OF liquor. The
law provides that the liquor shall be
kept in the home. Larson had con-
structed a special house for his liQ-
uor. 1t was not actually in isshome,
SO Sheriff Clark raided the place and
brought the entire supply down 10
the courthouse, where it flls several
rooms.
Not only was his 1000 gallons
taken, but the court placed a nne of
500 on Larson for having liquor in
his possession outside OF his home.

Infant with a wan. pinched face. He
took it out of the hospital and placed
It in the care OF Mrs. Susanna Schroe-
der, a nurse. Mrs. Schroeder tele-
phoned him later the baby was boy.
Davis called on the hospital doctors
to explain. They told him they had
known all along II was a boy.
DR.. Carl Meyer. of the County Hos
pital, produced the records OF that
institution, which showed the baby
had been registered as a boy.
There can be no mistake said DR..
Meyer. "a label with the name Of
the mother is attached to the leg ~
every baby born in the hospital. The
label can't come of. l attended Mrs.
Davis and remember distinctly the
baby was a boy. Besides the records
show it was registered here as a boy.
Davis has his own child"

CABLES TO ENGLAND BUSY
Closer Cooperation Between coun-
tries Is Evident.

LONDON, June 14.-Evidence OF
closer cooperation between America
and England are found in the tremen-
dous rush OF business done by the
cable companies. One company Jas
been forced to abandon deferred rate
messages and all night rates for week
end letters.
According to a Western Union re-
port, this is due to the increased IA
cilities. and II is known that the ar
rival OF General Pershing, together
with the presence OF the American de-
stroyer f1otilla, requires much ex-
change OF intelligence and an enor-
nous wire traffic between London
and New York.

More Convincing Proof.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was first introduced it's cur- ative powers were doubted and had to be proved. But the proof came, and gradually the use of it spread over the whole country. Now that hundreds of thousands of women have experienced the most beneficial effects from it's use it's value has become generally recog- nized and it is now the standard medi- cine for women's ills.
 The following letter is only one of the thousands on our files.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months

RECOVER GOODS STOLEN
 FROM CHELSEA PIE
Police Made Raid on House in New
 London.

Detective Hammond of the New l London police force and Special Of- l f1cer Hickey of the Central Vermont railway, made a raid on the home of Wladis1aw Korchinsky, 6s7 Main | street, New London, Thursday noon and recovered 400 pounds of sugar, l 200 pounds of coffee and two barrels ! of bottled Schlitz beer, which were stolen from the Chelsea line ware Sunday morning. Korchinsky was put under arrest charged with the theft.
 The robbery was reported to police headquarters Sunday morning and
 the work of locating the thieves and recovering the loot was assigned to the officers, with Detective Hammond in charge of the investigation. Entrance was made into the ware
 house by breaking a rear window but outside of this there was not a clue for the detectives to work on. As it was apparently impossible for the robbers to have taken the stuff away by the use of a wagon, without having been seen, the reasonable supposition was that they had utiI-
 iZed a boat of some sort to carry their plunder away. Upon this belief the detectives based their, investisa-
 water front followed. with the sus- picious territory confined to the Win throp cove section.
 When the officers searched the
 Kerchinsky house they found that the goods had been distributed
 through several rooms. The sugar
 which had been taken from the ware
 house in burlap bags. had been trans
 ferred to pillow slips. as was also
 the coffee.
 Agent P. c. Ward of the Chelsea company, when viewing the stuff at the police station, said that he could identify the various articles. and es- timated the cost of the sugar at S30, the coffee at about the same. and the beer he thought was in the neigh
 borhood of $10.
 Korchinsky will be arraigned in the police court Friday morning on the charge of breaking and entering. The other persons involved in the thefts have not been apprehended, but it is thought that their arrest is only a matter of hours. The Korchinsky house is near the shore of Winthrop cove, making it an easy matter to take stolen goods there in a boat and unload them without attracting at tention.
 Late Thursday afternoon Detective Hammond took William Conan into custody in connection with the case.

TWO DIE AT THE ODD FELLOWS HOME
Russel Hewitt and Charles B. Upson Passed Away After Brief Illness.

Fairview Home for Odd Fellows lost two of it's residents by death within an hour Wednesday night. Russell Hewitt, employed on the farm, died from heart trouble while eating his supper. He had apparently been in his usual health, ate hearty din- ner and did his work on the farm during the afternoon. At supper time it was noticed that he appeared a little stupid at times and some one asked him if he felt all right and he replied that he did and immediately fell over in his chair. He was re- moved to the outer air and a phy- sician summoned but he had died in- stantly. Mir Hewitt had been ein- ployed on the farm since early in the spring. He leaves wife and two sons, but their whereabouts are not definitely known.
 Charles B. Epson, a resident of Fairview home for about six years and a member of Poquonock lodge of Bristol, died about o'clock Wednes- day night after a short illness. His death was apparently painless. MT Upson was "A years of age and leaves a mother who is 9S. Two daughters also survive him in his old home in Bristol.

Work Assuming Large Proportions
Many Norwich Women Knitting for Sailors in Uncle Sas Servce-Local Branch Has Expended Nearly Five Hun- dred Dollars for Wool

who has been to France and back and expects the call to again face duty there and was very much inter ested to hear what he had to say of these knitted sets. He said that the comfort they provided for the sail ors could not be expressed. The cold felt on the ocean after land has dis appeared is bitterly intense. and any thing to alleviate it is eagerly sought for. It is almost unbearable and the sweaters. Scarfs and wriStlets, while light and not bulky, are a great boon to these boys sailing in our service.
 The sympathy of the chairman was so reused that a set was immediately pressed on the young sailor. who bore 1t triumphantly forth.
 We cannot all realize, perhaps, while we are so comfortable at home, the lack of comforts many of our boys are enduring and the great need for all our most strenuous and low ing service.
 General Pershing has sent forth call for 100000 of these knitted sets and in the very near future the army knitting will be added to the navy knitting in the Norwich work
