INTHIEF ROLE
Baltimore Police Capture
Alleged Rames, and
Say He Confesses.
JEWELRY AMONG LOOT
Used Step-Ladder and
Unique Methods to En-
ter Homes.

Baltimore. Nd. July II. - That
they have in custody Raffles who
has been robbing many of the homes
of Forest Park and walbrook is
the belief of the police following
the arrest of Ronald w. Osborne. 22
years old. 1908 Cedar road. Al
ready Osborne has confessed to
three robberies within a period Of
less than three weeks.
The admission of Osborne in
these three cases. however, came
only after Patrolmen Warthen and
Harbourne. working from detective
headquarters, had the goods" on
the accused. Articles of jewelry
stolen from the three homes were
either found in the possession of
the prisoner or located in pawn
shops where he had pledged them.
May BE Ladder Thief.
One of the things that impress the
police that Osborne may be the
fstep-ladder thief" who terrorized
Forest Park, walbrook, Hamilton
and other outlying sections several
months ago is the fact that he is
believed to have used a. step-ladder
to gain entrance to the TapIey home
by way of the back porch. Efforts
will also be made to have him iden-
ttfied as the Gentleman Raffies"
Who, about year ago, entered
many homes in walbrook and For
est Park and who, on 'accasions, re-
cited poetry to some of his victims
while he was robbing them.
How He Was Caught.
1t was one false move on the part
of Osborne that led to his arrest.
Several articles of jewelry stolen
from the homes of his last three
victims were pawned in the down
town sections. Osborne gave diff
ferent names and addresses, but he
used his right name and address
while pawning one article. All the
names and addresses were run down
by Warthen and Harbourne, and
Osborne was finally trapped by a
telephone call at his home and ar
rested.
After he had been questioned for
an hour or more at detective head
quarters and Warthen and Har-
bourne had produced articles OF
jewelry stolen at the Johnson and
Roth homes. Osborne broke" and
admitted these thefts. Later Hsr-
bourne and Warthen went to the
home of the prisoner, where they
found the jewelry stolen from the
Tapley family. The money. Osborne
said, he had spent yesterday.
The prisoner has bee ma reside mt
of Baltimore about seven years,
coming to this city from Syracuse,
n. Y. He was very popular in the
Walbrook and Forest Park sections,
as he presents a natty appearance
and so gained entrance to many
homes. The police believe that when
they are through their investiga-
tions IL will be found that Osborne
robbed many of these homes, which
he had learned to know intimately
as guest.

Gone, dear Glenn, gone forever,
How we miss your smiling face;

That lies within our hearts con-

CALVIN COOLIDGE.

Calvin Coolidge, present governor of Massachusetts, who was nOmin- ated by the Republican national convention on Saturday as candi- date for the vice-presidency, was born at Plymouth, Vermont, July 4, 1872. His people have been in New England since 163O. He was educated in the public schools of Plymouth and in Amherst college, from which he graduated in 1895. Although Mir. Coolidge studied law, he has given twenty-two of the twenty-five years of his life since he graduated from college in public service. He has been elected six teen times in twenty-two years to public office. He began as mem Der of the Northampton (Mass.) city council, then was city solicitor for two years, then became state representative for two years, then mayor of Northampton for two years, then state senator for four terms, two of which he was presl- dent of the senate, then for three years in succession was elected lieu tenant-governor. In 1918 he was elected governor, and last year was reelected by a majority that is al most without parallel in the history of the old Bay State.
 This constitutes a record of public service difficult to duplicate. I

WARREN G. HARDING.

Senator Warren G. Harding, who received the nomination on Satur. day as candidate of the Republican party for the presidency, was elect, ed member of the United States senate in 1914.
 He served term as lieutenant governor of Ohio and two terms as state senator from the Thirteenth district. He has been newspaper publisher since 1884.
 Senator Harding was born in Blooming Grove, Morrow county, Ohio, in 1865, and is married.
 The News is not in possession of more extended sketch of the life of Senator Harding, but will have the desired information probably on the next mail. In the meantime, some idea of the man who will head the Republican national ticket in November can be gathered from d statement made by him several weeks ago. "There will be no re- turn to pre-war conditions in indus try or commerce. he said. "For us the ruled paths of trade have been wiped out and new avenues await Old industrial problems have been effaced. Capital and workmen are facing new order. The large wage will abide-it has been the legacy of war since our republic began. If these comes with the larger compensation to workmen not only restored but also enhanced eff ficiency it will mark a splendid ad- vancement. Without the added eff ficiency it will prove a backward step.' .....*

CONVENTION SELECTS
 LEADERS OF STRENGTH
WHO STANDARD BEARERS ARE WHO WILL HEAD REPUB- LICAN TICKET GREAT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
means that Mir. Coolidge has becom


 an expert in the administration of public affairs, both legislative and executive.
 [ During his six years in the Massa- chusetts legislature he was responsi- ble for wise and progressive legis- lation covering agriculture, industry, transportation and municipal fin ance. While always opposing Social istic and revolutionary methods, he has consistently advocated progress according to the law of the land and the principles of our Constitution. MT. Coolidge attracts and holds the allegiance of his friends by qualities which in other men have been supposed to exert the exactly opposite influence. He is famous for his silence and for his thrift in the use of words when he does (speak. While a member of the Massachusetts senate he was on rec ord as having made the shortest speech of the session. Under his leadership bill had been defeated. This was followed by second bill which he believed ought to be de- feated He rose and said, "Mr. President, this is another proposi- tion of the same sort' And that speech killed the second bill. 1 In his inaugural few weeks ago lit was expected that he would dwell at length upon the Boston police strike and his treatment thereof. He dismissed the whole matter in d single sentence: 'it is too well known to need rehearsal or com ment." :-.->. -....*.. .-..... ..-...~~=. .. In reading Governor Coolidge's state papers and public addresses, one is continually reminded of Ba- cons Essays There is a puritan severity and simplicity of speech as refreshing as it is unusual. The words are cut like diamonds. He will cover whole program, in one sentence, as for instance in his re- cent message he informed the Massa- chusetts legislature that "the com monwealth is less in need of new laws than ever before.
 MT. Coolidge is of slender build, tall, erect, with fiber of mind and body like refined steel. His hair is almost red, indicating that the re- mark of one of lis friends had some basis in reality when he said lUudJ COOlUBc IS COIu OuC|iuS, Uul red-hot inside"
 1 MT. Coolidge is extremely eau tious and slow to reach conclusions. He must know all sides and have all the facts. He insists upon talk. ing his time to think the thing through. Once, however, he arrives at his decision, he is adamant ir resolute adherence to his purpose
 and he acts with surprising swift
 ness. Men trust his judgment ant

is probably as poor as when he be- gan his public career twenty-two years ago.
 When he was about to issue his famous ultimatum in the police strike, certain political advisers and fpersonal friends labored earnestly with him to dissuade him from a course which they were convinced would ruin his political future. "If you do this," they said, "it will de- stroy every prospect for your po- litical advance" "I presume it may" he said, as he dipped his pen in the ink and signed his name to the proclamation.
 In the height of the police dis turbance a correspondent was talk ing with MT. Coolidge in his office in the state house and ventured a word of sympathy for him in. the difficulties with which he was con l fronted. His answer was character istic: "There is little difficulty in this situation. 1 know what is right and all I have to do is to do right ; but what worries me and exhausts my strength is to have questions come to me for decision about which neither 1 nor any one else can be certain as to what is right and what is wrong" While Mir. Coolidge is parsimonious in the use of words, lit may be that for this very reason his public utterances are more perfect expression of his inner life than would otherwise be the case. Consider, then, the quality of man whose deepest convictions are set forth in such phrases as follow:
 Vital Words.
 Take this from his inaugural ad- dress: If we put all our emphasis on material prosperity, that pros- perity will perish and with it will perish our civilization. The best that is in man is not bought with a price. To offer money only is to appeal to his weakness not his strength. Man is more than of the earth. He will not find his satis- faction in things that are of the earth earthly. Employers and en- ployed must find their satisfaction not in money return, but in the service rendered; not in the auan- tity of goods. but in the quality of character. Industry must be hu- manized, not destroyed. It must be the instrument not of selfshness, but of service. Change not the law, but the attitude of mind"
 In an address on Daniel Web ster, Governor Coolidge said: "The doctrine of the Declaration of Inde pendence is that the rights of cit izens are to be protected with every power and resource of the state, and government that does any less is false to the teachings of that great document. Above all, the call of duty, the pledge of fortune and of life, nobility of character through nobility of action-this is Americanism."
 Our Economic System Right.
 His attitude toward our foreign relations is found in this statement: "1 believe that partisanship should stop at the boundary line, but assert that patriotism should begin there." In speaking of industry as related to democracy, he says: Democracy not only ennobled man, it has ennobled industry. We are working towards the day when in our industrial life equal honor shall fall to equal endeavor, whether it be exhibited in the office or in the shop. With security of personal rights has come security of property rights. It takes service and sacri-
