MYSTERIOUS
SERIES OF
ROBBERlES
Thieves Succeed in Evading
Authorities after Series
of Ten Breaks

A mysterious series of robberiC5
that now totals ten in number has
bafflcd the combined efforts of the
police force, the sheriff and states
attorneys office. While none of he
robbcres have been large ones, their
continuance day after day makes Il
menace to the community as none
OF the merchants know wnat night
his place is to be raided. The perpc-
traitors of this series OF crime show
considerable clevernesS in keeping
out of the hands of the authorities.
The first of the breaks, which turn
ed out to be only an attempted rob-
berry, was made at the bowling and
billiard parlors Of Joseph McCatfery
on Railroad street. During the early
hours of Saturday morning, Nov.

which Mr.. McCaffery found leaning

his place in the morning. 1t is Nc
Caffcly's belief that the thief was
frightened away before he was able
to gain entrance. Some time ago MI.
McCaffcry's home was ransacked by
thieves while he was in Boston and
considerable amount of clothes and
other valuables taken.
On last Friday night, entrance
was forced to the Goss Supply Co.,
via the window route. a stone about
the size of goose egg was thrown
with a great deal 4 force through
one of the pancs on the side of the
building and one o. the thieves sue

When word was sent here seven
bodies had been recovered. The bcat

Deep Mystery Clings.
Undoubtedly the life of Adrianople
is fraught with that deep mystery
which seems to cling inevitably to
the sinful. idle. sleepy orient, but OF
this mystery the stranger sees only
the charm
Prayers are called from the NINA
rets, as Of old; also the old and new
bazaars do a slender business in sell
ing American and European calicoes
and homespun cloths and Turkish sill
ver-mounted pipes and cigarette hold
ers, rugs, junk, to passing peasant
customers; or else. when these are
lacking. they swap with each other,
after the happy manner of all the
orient
Decadence seems to have heightened
the beauty of the majestic old mosque
of Sultan Bayzid. The windows are
broken in. the locks are rusted in the
doors, the grass is growing up be-
tween the fiagstones, the fountain in
the court no longer splashes it's wa
ters in the sunshine. and the interior
of the mosque itself is slowly dete-
riorating. Few worshipers come here
but on the drowsy Friday afternoons
the MusSulman'S day of worship, come
a devoted band of musicians and
singers. The aviator and the AsSo-
ciated Press correspondent stumbled
upon this group; as they turned to go
away, one of the red-feZed band came
and saluted with the loyable simplic-
ity of the Turk and said. "Allah esmar-

The longer the stay in Adrianople,
the more the charm Of this beauty
grows. a charm that is as great afoot
as aloft.
Adrianople is a city that has the
tone of country friendship about it,
not unlike county seat of the south.
The center of the agricultural ex-

peasants and traders of Turkish,
Greek, Bulgarian. Jewish and Armen-

business in the city, and he came

Strife Unheralded.

He fought for an American mer-

the day in the struggle for rehabilita-
ton of American industry Four years
ago he stood on this platform, the
choice of both William H. Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt for chairman of
the convention; and it is only fair to
add that as a member of the Senate
he enjoyed the intimate and confiden-
tial friendship of both these great
leaders.
He had the honor to present to the
Senate and to secure the enactment
