WOman's Diamonds
Worn at Racetrack
Lure Thieves Here
Two Men Who Admired Mrs.
Bohm's Jewels at Bowie
Appear in Her New York
Home and Steal the Gems

Emil Bohm, travelling salesman,
and his wife, Henrietta, passed last
week at Bowie, Md, attending the
races. Mrs. Bohm, one of the six Delo-
paz sisters, who danced in the old
"Floradora" company, found herself
marked for attention at the track be-
cause of the diamonds she wore
On the train up from Baltimore Sat-
urday, the Bohms recognized two fell
low passengers as men who had no
tceably admired Mrs. Bohm's jewels at
Bowie. However, they attached no
especial significance to the coincidence.
Mrs. Bohm awoke with a start She
and her three -year-old son, Gussie,
were sleeping in the rsar bedroom or
their apartment in the Idlewhile, on
Seventh Avenue, between 10TH and
119th streets. Bohm was occupying a
front room.
Mrs. Bohm distinguished the outlines
a man standing over her bed, showing
the muzzle of a big, black revolver at
her head. She says he was one Of the
men who followed her from Bowie.
GIVE us your diamonds-quick! the
intruder commanded.

the wit to plead that she had pawend
them upon her return to New YORK, but
offered to give the burglar $500 if he
would leave
At this juncture her husband walked
into the room, followed by the rob-
ber's confederate, who had him COW
cred with pistol. This man was the
other passenger from Maryland.
You'd better tell them where the
diamonds are" Bohm advised.
Come on, kid, lead us to 'em," the
first robber said and poked his gun
nearer her face.
Mrs. Bohm says she led the way to
the dining room, opened a drawer and
handed over a diamond lavelliere,
diamond brooch and two diamond rings
Pocketing the loot, the thieves marched
her and her husband back into the
bedroom, bound their hands together
and tied them to the bedpost One
Of them caught sight of $500
diamond ring on Mrs. Bohm's finger
and took that. The entire booty is
valued at $4,000.
Let's plug the old man before we
CO." one of the burglars remarked
pointing his revolver at Bohm.
please DON'T" Mrs. Bohm pleaded
you've got my diamonds. Think of
my baby
The baby had slept through it an.
The robbers took their departure
after warning the Bohms they had a
man stationed outside who would
"shoot to Mll" if either raised an alarm
within an hour
Mrs. Bohm freed herself from her
bonds after a few minutes and sum
moned a neighbor, who notified the DO
lice Of the West 123d Street station.
Detectives could find no trace of the
gem thieves. Bohm says his wife later
picked cut two pictures in the roguc's
gallery as those of the BURGLARS.

Radical Tells Jury Sole
ION Is Whether

In opening the prosecutions case in
the Supreme Court yesterday against
James Larkin, Irish radical, Assistant
District Attorney Alexander I. Rorkc
told the jury the sole point at issue
was whether Larkin advocated the over
throw of organized government by
force or other unlawful means.
we are not concerned" explained
Rorke, with what kind of government
these people may want instead of our
own system. We are only concerned in
this case with whether they urged
force, violence or other unlawful means

Wet may be the finest system of gov
eminent ever devised. State socialism
may be superior to our own form of
government, while feudalism may be
oetter than our own system, too, but
they must not be imposed upon us bv
force violence or other unlawful means. "
before the opening by Mr.. Rorke.
Larkln, who is acting as his own conn

because he had CHALLENGED nine IF tic
members for bias and the court had al

TINS reason he was not being tried bv a
jury OF ms peers, as provided by law.
Justice Bartow S. Weeks, who is pre-
slang at the trial. denied Larkin's mo-

Inc first witness called by the

Good morning!
This is April 20!
The weather today will
probably be partly cloudy.
When Will Prices
Come Down?

Who knows? We confess that
we do not, though we are in touch
constantly with the producers of
merchandise on both sides of the
sea.
Advices from Europe inform US
that the outpuHof cotton goods is
already contracted for at higher
prices for next year, 1921.
In the United States everything
Seems to tend to higher prices. The
continuing dissatisfaction with
wage-earners, who cannot paw their
way with old wages increased three
times since the war began; the
walk-outs controlling travel, thereby
increasing prices of transportation
OF supplies in various WAYS bv
truckage long distances; higher
wages on raw materials and the
speculation in them before they
reach the tailors or shoemakers-
these facts and others are still add
ing to the cost of everything our
customers need. The facts before
us today do not point to lower
PAlCcS very soon.
The Government taxes also con-
tinue to be very heavy, and they are
all laid on the cost of almost everv-
thing.
But under all these circumstances
we also know this-that this bust
ness is here to supply the public
with reliable merchandise at the
lowest prices possible in this high
strung condition of affairs.
This store will continue clear
running stream each day and month.
bringing before the public the best
kind of merchandise we can obtain.
and control, if possible, and let the
people have it at the lowest profit
possible to maintain our constantly
increasing patronage.
. We are fortunate enough to have
many things now on sale that will
have to be sold at higher prices
when these on hand are sold out
and the next shipments come in.
