WOUNDED LADS ASK
FOR CHANCE TO WORK
Hero Crosses Fail to Win
Jobs for Service Men.

Three times wounded and three times
gassed, with four years of army service
to his credit, young man of good ap-
pearance and education presented him
self to Major Warren Bigelow, director
of the unemployment bureau for ex-ser-
vice men, yesterday. He said that New
York, which sent him 60 war. had. be-
cause of his wounds. given no work to
him. He was hungry and his Bowery
rooming house had turned him out be-
cause he had no more money. He begged
for a bookkeeping position of some kind,
saying that he had seen four years ex-
perience in such capacity with n hotel
before answering his countrys call.
With this youth stood another wear
ing the Distinguished Service Cross
which Gen. Pershing personally had
pinned upon his breast. Becauce this
man, who served with the Canadian
forces before our entrance into the war,
had suffered an injury to one of his
hands in battle he also was unable to
get work.
Another wore the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross and the Croix de Guerre, and
announced that he had been personal in
terpreter for Gen. Pershing. He spoke
both French and German fiusntly, and
said tnat allnousn ne ndu mucn expert
ence In the line of salesmanship he
would be willing to take even a small
clerical position until conditions should
improve.
They were but examples OF applicants
for employment at the bureau. Major
Bigelow said he had others whose
wounds had barred them from work
merely because they could not get around
as rapidly as some man who saw no SER
vice. He had former Devil Dog" who
wanted job so he could support his
family, but who had been partly inca
pacitated through bullet wounds in his
spine and lungs. Their qualifications
ranged from store clerkships to that OF
golf instructor, the latter seeking a posi-.
ton with some club where he might re-
pair golf sticks and make himself gen.
orally helpful.
Major Bigeldw announced that on the
other hand he had fifteen positions for
experienced railroad brakemen waiting
to be filed

Insurance Companies Foresec
Heavy Losses When Naca-
tionists Return.
RECORD is SET ALREADY
Police Powerless Even to Pre-
vent Loot Being Carried
Off in Vehicles.

The officials Of the largest of the city's
burglary insurance companies got to-
gether last week and compared notes.
The one thing that stood out more prom
inent than any other fact developed at
the conference was that this summer
holds the record for burglaries Of houses
whose occupants have gone to the coun-
try.
Tomorrow will see the usual begin
ming of the return of folks who regularly
abandon their town homes for the coun-
try, the mountains and the seashore dur
ing July and August. Although the
burglary insurance officials already call
this summer a record breaker as far as
housebreaking is concerned they dread
to think of the number of complaints
yet to come when houses are reopened.
It has become known by comparison
of insurance company notes that more
than sixty homes between West Seven
tieth street and West Nineteth street
have been entered and that the owners
Of the stolen property, despairing of the
success of the Police Department. have

most instances.
1t is discovered that the home OF An

was rified of more than $4,000 worth OF
effects that was, due to their bulk, carted
away. The house was closed. as the
Rails were in the country. The return
of one of the family caused the burglars
to abandon this particular gold mine,
for some things still remained.

Such is the overwhelming business
that this summers burglarles have Wis

upper West Side detectives are work

police, as an admission of their help

Medical Examiner Hohmann said
death was caused by starvation and suf-

day to throw further light on the pecu-
liar circumstances of the case. The dead
woman had no relatives as far as the

DAVID e.. BROWNE DIES
AT DESK I'm FORT BENTON

He had, indeed. SO e0nciusvely proved
his managing ability that in the spring
of 1881 he was offered a position with
the merchants, W. s. Wetzel 4 Company,
at Fort Henton. Accepting this position
he virtually took charge of the firm 3
business as office manager. In addition
to this work, and that of experimenting
his mule teams, he in 1889, gained Il
monopoly of the ferry business at Fort
Benton which enterprise yielded him n
gain of $4,000 as secondary phase of
his undertakings. When, in 1888. Wetzel
4 Company failed, Mr.. Browne was ap-
pointed assignee. He so handled the as
sets of the house, $250,000, that in
the course of little more than year $
time, he had succeeded in closing the
business III manner satisfactory to all
concerned.
TFcn government contracts presented
possibilities that Mr.. Brownies practical
mind was not slow in seeing. In 1883 he
secured several of these. including the
large hay contract at Fort Assinnboine.
Two years later he had charge of the
government transportation for Montana,
Wyoming and Nebraska.
Turns to Banking.
His conveying of forage and other
necessary supplies to the military posts
in these sections, including Forts As
sinniboinc, Maginnis, Shaw, and Custer.
was accomplished to the satisfaction of
the government and all individuals con
ctrncd. as we'll as being another notable
achievement for him.
AS was natural, considering fhe growth
of his pecuniary gains, Mr.. Browne then
became interested in the banking busi-
ness. In 1886 he became one of the
active men of the Bank of Northern
Montana, ut Fort Benton. He was made
secretary of the Fort Benton Board of
Trade, continuing in that office 10 years.
When the Stockmen's National bank was
founded in Fort Benton, Mr.. Browne was
