ROBBERS MAKE HAUL
 AT JEwELRY STORE
Himberg and Horns Place in Railroad Arcade Loot
 ed This Morning.

For the third time in four years. the jewelry store conducted by Him. berg and Horn in the railroad arcade was visited by robbers early this morning. and booty estimated at $500 was carried away. The burg lars this morning smashed the two large windows in the front of the store. and helped themselves to watches. rings, scarfpins, brooches, cuff links. ear rings and the like. Judging from the condition of the windows, cobblestones were used to smash them.
 It is evident that the burglars took the most opportune time to make their haul. between 4 and 4:30 o'clock this morning, after the night patrolmen had left their beats. Mr. Himberg learned from the yardmaster at the railroad yards that as he passed the place at about 1 o'clock this morning everything was all right. It was only a short time later that the break was discovered. The police were notified and MT. Himberg was in turn called to the place.
 Burglars smashed the windows in the store last year, just two days be- ,HTtSlAllS, Wuen NnC pldCe was well stocked. and hundreds of dol- lars worth of goods was taken at that time.
 Burglars paid a visit to the Citizens Coal company office sometime during night and secured between $150 and s200 from a safe. Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson investigated the bur glary, and from one of the officials learned that the safe was apparently left unlocked last night. The en- trance was effected by forcing a win dow on the north side of the building.
 Investigation today by Detective Sergeant A.. J. Richardson indicates that four young men participated in the break. shortly before o'clock the quartet were seen standing at the east end of the passenger station. A few minutes later the switch engine with some cars for Russell & Erwin Man ufacturing company passed the place. and it is believed that the four smashed the windows at this time. The police have learned that four men were seen running across the tracks near the M. Conan storehouse, and later price tags identified by MT. Him. berg were picked up in the vicinity. Another price tag from the store was found near the Traut & Hine Manu- featuring company on Stanley street.

STOCKHOLDERS OF
 N. HI. ROAD CHANGE
Rescind Vote of October II and Vote For Bond Issue Secured by Gen.
 eral Mortgage

New Haven, Nov. 11.-Stockholders of the New Haven railroad company, in 8 meeting adjourned from October II, today rescinded the vote of that meeting approving of a bond issue to be secured by a general mortgage on the entire system, to refund indebted ness and to obtain a loan from the United States government and then voted for a bond issue secured by a general mortgage with the amount in- creased to not exceed $SO,0O0,000.
 Of the amount of the issue S15,- 000,000 will be used for betterments, while the s65,000.000 will be used for refunding indebtedness incurred dur ing the period of federal control Vice-President E. G. Buckland, who presided, explained that the size of the issue was increased because the di- rector-general of the railroads and the secretary of the treasury will not ac- cept bonds of the company as a se- curity for a loan at more than S5 per cent. of their par value. The req son given, MT. Buckland said, was that as debentures of the company were selling at below S5 the government could not except the new bonds as se- curity at approximately a higher value than the other securities themselves were selling for in the open market. It was therefore necessary to increase the amount of the bond issue to meet the changed conditions.

Amateur SIueths Declare Tragedy Was Framed For Revenge Against Head of

New York, Nov. 11.-The New York Evening World today publishes q three page article under the headline Wall street explosion solved" In which It gives the result of it's inde- pendent investigation of the disaster which took nearly two score lives last September. and seeks to link the outrage with building trust graft" now under investigation by a joint legislative committee.
 World Makes Charges
 The Evening World mnintains that the explosion instead of being the work of "anarchists'' as charged by Chief Flynn of the department of justice or "the third internationale" as charged by private Investigators was really a plot of labor men or labor sympathizers, directed in re- venge against Robert F. BrindeII, president of the building trades coun- ell: BrindelI workers demolishing the stock exchange building annex at Broad and Wall streets and contrac- tors hiring Brindoil men.
 Naming a union and pointing out that Rrindell had many enemies 'n labor ranks. tho Evening World says:
 Result of Tyranny
 The Evening World here presents proof that i.s00 mon. nearly all for eiRn born, sober. industrious, efficient and well-disciplined, have within 6 space of eighteen months been sub jccted to an amazing conspiracy of greed and injustice and the explosion was the continuation of this tyranny.
 The Evening World does not charge tho union. ns a union. with responsibility. It wns work on atndivkd-i -i uals. possibly inside the union. possi- ply tho work of sympathizors."
 Many Out Of Work
 The paper, in setting out its theory. asserted members of tho regular union had been kicked or every build ing job In New York: and that they were half starved by months of idle less, that unknown to its driver. a wagon containing a time bomb was sent to the stock exchange annex by frcnzied workmen or sympathizers, to get s5 Brindell workers alleged to have been engaged on the job by the wrecking firm of Albert A. voik: that tho wagon became tied up and could not get near the building; and that when the driver went to tele- phone, the bomb exploded.
 The paper charges that Raymond Clark, foreman on the job who was reported to have said he had seen the driver was shot within three weeks. fin an attempt to silence him forever.
 The Evening World admits it's in- vestigation failed to shed light on threats signed anarchist fighters found in a mail box near the scene of the explosion.

2,OOO Sailors and Marines Get Citations and Commentators
fl CONGRESSIONAL MEDALS
Seven Officers and Four Enlisted Men Receive Country's Most Disiin- guisred Award - Admiral Sims Marked for Distinguished Service.

washington, Nov. 1.-The second anniversary of the signing of the ar mistice was celebrated in the navy and marine corps today by the distribution of nearly 2,00O medals and letters of commendation for particularly valor- ous or distinguished performance of duty during the world war.
 The action marked the final phase of the controversy over naval decora- tions that resulted in a congressional investigation last winter after Rear Admiral W. S. Sims had refused to ac- cept the distinguished service medal intended for him on the ground that injustice had marked the manner of distributing the navy's recognition of distinguished wartime service.
 Publication today of the list of awards as finally approved by the sec retary shows the original list to be un- changed so far as deletions are con- cerned. Rear Admiral Sims name again appeared on the list as having been awarded a D. $. M, but it was said at the navy department that the medal had not been forwarded to Ad- miral Sims.
 The list of awards as finally ap- proved showed a considerable increase over the list published before the con- gressional investigation.
 New Navy Awards
 A recapitulation shows the follow ing new awards for the navy over those made public last winter:
 distinguished Service medals 3; Navy Crosses, enlisted men 150, off, cers 161: letters of commendation, of- ficers 63; enlisted men 35. In the marine corps new awards were made as follows:
 Distinguished Service Medals. off, ficers 2; Navy Crosses officers. 32; en- listed men 34.
 In addition to the medals and let ters awarded the officers and men of the navy and marine corps, special certificates of appreciation were sent by the navy department today to 261 officers who served in the naval overseas transportation service during the war.
 II Medals of Honor.
 Eleven congressional medals of honor were awarded. seven to officers and four to enlisted men. This was six more than contained in the origi- nal report of the board.
 The officers to whom medals of honor were awarded were:
 Ileut. Commander James J. Madison reserve force. and Alexander c. Lyle, medical corps; Lieuts. Edouard V. M. Isaacs and Orlando H.. Petty, medical corps: Ensigns Daniel A. J. Sullivan and Charles H. Hammann. both of the reserve force and Lieut. Ralph Talbot, medical corps deceased.
