WOMAN DETECTIVE
IDENTIFIES men
WHO ROBBED Her
Mrs. Rose Teichman Spent
Nearly Year in Running
Them Down.

How Mrs. Rose Teichman, of 1888
Third avenue, Brooklyn, New York,
disguised as a blind beggar, trailed
for nine months and captured one of
a gang of three men who robbed her
little dry goods store, was revealed
today when she picked out and iden-
titled as the other two members of the
gang, Morris Beigler and John Re
becka, from the line up in Captain E.
o. Cronan's room at Police Headquar-
tiers this morning.
Morris Beigler and John Rebecka
were before the Superior Court yes
terday, charged with having in COM
pany with Jo-eph Gordon, who has
jumped his bail of $500, f1in1anmed
Max Garabitz, a tailor of 511 East
Main street, out of $500 with box of
brass which they made him believe
was gold. The charge against them
was nolled by the court, but the pair
were Immediately rearrested by De-
tective Sergeant Bray, upon war
rant charging them with similar Of
| fenes in Waterbury.
| 1t was stated today that there are
no Sess than eight warrants for the
men issued by courts as far west as
Detroit, Mich.
| When the prisoners were brought to
headquarters advices from New York
that detectives accompanied by Mrs.
| Teichman were on their way to
Bridgeport. This morning when the
two were lined up with a number OF
others in the office of the Detective
Bureau, Mrs. Teichman found no diff
fcuty in identifying the two men
who, with Sam Brickner, now serving
a term of five years in Sing Sing,
held up her little store, and brutally
beat and robbed her of $470.
The prisoners will be turned over
to the New York authorities and &C
cording to statements made by the
officers sent here the evidence against
them will net them a long term "uI
the river"
In telling her experience Mrs. Teich-
man said: Fearing that the police
of New York would not interest
themselves sufficiently in my case,
decided to disguise myself and search
the streets of Brooklyn, and Manhat
tan until I saw the men who sc
terribly beat and then robbed me o,
my savings.
'"The disguise L adopted was that O
blind beggar and after nine months
of watching and waiting l was at las
rewarded by seeing one of the gang
Sam Brickner. 1 approached hin
and offered some shoe laces for sale
He at first pushed me rudely away
but 1 persisted and finally he bough
a pair of laces for ten cents. 1 offer
ed him a nickel change, but he toll
me to keep it. That nickel by thu
way, is the only part of the $470
have recovered.
II then called for help to arres
him, but he struck and knocked M
down and then kicked in several o
my ribs, from which 1 am almost de
formed today. He escaped for tn
time, but was shortly afterwards cap
| tured and brought to the hospital TO
me to identify.
HE was brought to trial, and re
! | fused to give any information as t
where his friends were. He wa
found guilty and sentenced to f1v
years in Sing Sing. The cay 1 wa
instrumental in capturing him wa

A complete translation OF this ad-
dress is now available. 1t fol-
lows:
1T is not without deep emotion
that 1 come to bid last farewell to
a friend of many years, to a comrade
in arms, and to render to him, in the
name of the French aerial service,
tribute of our admiration and sym
pathy Major Lufbery was one of
the first in the struggle. Prompted
by his generous desire, at the begin
ming of the war he endeavored to
show France, in which he had spent
so many years of his life, the graft
tude he felt by coming to take a place
in our ranks
After having been for some time
with bombing squadrons he joined
a pursuit squadron. His remarka-
BILE qualities soon stamped him as one
of the ablest. In Champagne, at
Verdun and on the Somne, fields of
his combats, he gained numerous vic
tories over the enemy and won the
| admiration of his comrades. But It
| is to be noted that his simplicity, cour-
age and calm remained always the
| same.
Great was his joy when the Star
| Spangled Banner was raised beside
our own flag, for the same ideals Of
liberty and justice. He went with
the American army after having
| fought with admirable courage in the
| French army, furnishing most noble
| example for all who witnessed his
| deeds. He had large share in sur
rounding with a halo of glory the
| first flag of the allied republic on our
| front. which was entrusted to the La
fayette squadron.
ALIAS! This hero was to die. In
attacking hostile plane he fell in
Lorraine, where the heavens had been
witnesses of many combats which he
| fought with untiring energy. Great
was the sorrow of all on learning this
sad news.
always, my dear Lufbery, with
pious thought we shall associate your
name, a name dear to all French
men, with this land of Lorraine
where already has ebbed so gener.
ously the blood of gallant soldiers Of
the army of the United States. The
memory of you will remain forevei
craven on our hearts. Joined IL
common sorrow, two nations ar
weeping today; your own country
which may well be proud of you, and
France, toward which you bore your
self as a true son.
1.-THE love we have for you will b.
shared by those of your countrymel
who cross the ocean to fight at gu
side. We wish them to say, hkr
the poet: Each man has TIVE
countries, his own and France Al
revoir."

terrific local gas attack on the
German positions and canton
ments within the Gerechamp

grenades effectively and the German
were forced to retire.
A corporal named Kick, from
New England state, carried out
personal patrol late yesterday after
noon. He crawled to the enemy wir
to investigate what he thought was

to the firing trench. Bullets were ez
changed but the American returne

The American aviator pursued the
enemy machine for 40 kilometres
along the battle line and then chased
him IL kilometres behind the German
lines before he succeeded in attacking
him from beneath. The Germans
dive to the ground followed promptly.
Lieut. William H. Taylor of New
York chased a German biplane from
the American lines to over Pagny sur
Moselle, north of Pont a Mousson to-
day, and defeated the Boche in a des-
perate fight 5000 metres in the air.

Government Will
Furnish Tobacco

Washington, May developments Of
tobacco to the American troops
abroad already have gone forward
War Department officials said today
Extensive purchases have been made
to insure a steady supply.
One effect of making tobacco a pari
of the regular ration is to insure its
delivery promptly to the men, nc
matter where they may be. In taking
this action the War Department obli-
gates itself to get smoking materials
to the troops as much as it already
was obligated to feed them in ever
emergency.

where the observer was working a
machine gun, and there was no more
firing from the German.
Lieut.. Taylor continued to fire at
the German pilot and after $50 shots
had been fired, most of them at about
70 yards, the enemy machine went
spinning toward the earth in nose
dive.
In addition to Lieut.. Taylor's fight,
there were several others in the
bright sunny skies today. Two Ameri-

Don't forget to set your clock or watch one hour ahead tomorrow morning or you will surely find your self behind time" By official proc lamaton of the Mayor, the official city time will be advanced in conformity with the new law at two o'clock to- morrow morning and the Signal Corps, acting on special orders reaching the staff this afternoon will also move the clock ahead one hour. The change will be observed by the Federal court and other government offices and the prospects are that all towns on the peninsula will be no the daylight say ing schedule within the next few days. A curious feature of the new law is that it does not have any legal bearing in the case of Nome, for, altho it is a little known fact, Nomo time is not based on Standard time but instead is astronomical time. nasmuch as the law stpulates that the standard time in each season shall be one hour in advance of mean astronomical time of the degree of longitude governing each zone, respectively" Nome, be- ing located in longitude 165.22 west, or l5 degrees, 22 minutes west of the l5oth degree of longitudea the time here is normally one hour in advance of the time at the 15Oth degree of long itude, hence, it is argued, the law does not really apply to Nome in e. legal sense. However it is the spi,i, of the Jaw that is r. be obcycd a1d Nome will turn he. clocks ahead just as if she were not already "oAolI of time"

The benefit given by the Esllimos at the Eskimo gymnasium for the benefit of the Red Cross last night attracted a crowd which filled the large build ing to almost uncomfortable propor- 1 tions and nctted a nice sum for the Red Cross service. The entertainment provided by the natives was an cx- cellent one and proved that the duslly citizens of the north know thing or two more about the show business than they were generally given credit for A majority of the numbers were composed of the grotesque and inter- ! esting native dances and displayed that he supposed abandoned move ments of the dance are really in con- formity to method-something that many of the old timers have argued against. In several of the dances the performers wore the curious masks of ancient days. The high kicking contest was an especially interesting athletic performance and the muscle dancing by native belles was the hit of the evening" Two of the most pleasing numbers presented were the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and America by a chorus of native children. The performance was an excellent one in every way and reflects great credit on the abilities as well as the patriotism of tn native ele- Inent.
