SNATCH FURS NOW
Chicago Thugs Take Clothes OF

Five Hundred Cases Have
Been Reported to Police.

Chicago. Dec. 25.-Bandits have

backs of Chicago women. according
TO police reports, and many women
of Chicago's Gold Coast now leave
their expensive furs and wraps home
at nights, wearing garments of or
binary textures.

rotary of the associated fur industries.
From present indications the record
will be equaled this winter"
Greenburg, whose organization was
formed to protect fur merchants and
manufacturers from burglary, said
that furs valued at 100000 were
stolen here during the last year. He
alleged the fur thieves have the back
ing of a powerful fur thieves trust
that has fences III all large cities.
Police reports show that ten fur
stores have been robbed recently of
$4,000 worth of furs and that many
women and girls have had their coats
stolen from the backs at the point of
revolvers.
Greenburg said that fur-snatchers
and bandits get only Is per cent of
the value of the coats from the
fences" thru whom they deal. He
said the master mind" of the 'fur
thieves trust directs the places to be
robbed and gets most of the proceeds.
The fur trust" according to Green
burg, guarantees legal aid in case a
fur bandit is apprehened.

Conan Doyle Has d.
Fairy Photographs
Little People Do Really and Truly
Exist.

London. Dec. 25.-Fairies actually
exist and have been photographed.
This assertion is made by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle in a remarkable article
in the STRAND Magazine"
The fairy photographs are repro
duced. They were taken in Yorkshire
three years ago by two girls, Iris Car
penter, 16, and her cousin Alice. 10.
In one of them, Alice stands behind a
hedgeside bank, and at her feet, in
among the flowers and bracken, are
four fitting fairy figures of the ira
ditional story-book type-long-haire
gossamer-robed, and complete with
transparent wings, just the way fairy
specialists have always depicted them.
The other photograph shows little
imp or gnome dancing round the feet
of Iris. He also is true to type His
little face is whimsically puckered and
he, too, boasts a pair of wings of the
moth type.
Sir Arthur declares that several ex-
pert photographers have been shown
the original negatives of the fairy
photographs, and have satisfied them
selves that they are in no wise faxed"
THE pictures either stand or fall
together saws Sir Arthur, in the
course of his article. Both are false
or both are true. All the circum-
stances point to the latter alternative"
The little girls say they have seen
and known the fairies all their lives
and they regard the whole thing as
matter of course.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, together
with E. /. Gardner. of the Theosoph-
ical Society intend bringing out a book
shortly on the subject of fairy photo
graphs, when they will submit full
evidence to the public.
