RoBBER TRAPPED WITH BOOTY
Treasure From Saints Shrine, Stolen
Last November, Recovered by
Clever Police Work.

The historic Thirteenth century
treasure of st. Elizabeth Of Hungary,
which was stolen from the saints
shrine at Marburg last November, has
been recovered, according to the Ber'
lin correspondent Of the London
Times, after having been buried In
the hack garden Of London subur-
ban house.
The recovery Is due to the vigilance
Of the Frankfort police. Six men took
part In the robbery last November,
and Ave of them were arrested soon
after. There was, however, no sign
Of the stolen treasury and the men
obstinately denied all knowledge OF
II.
Eventually, the police got up to the
track Of the sixth man, Emil ke'i'
man. II was found that In the mean
time he had been to London; he was
watched, however, and on his return
he was arrested. During his detention
the inquiries Of the detective led the
police to believe that .Kellman had
hidden the jewels In England. 1t was
assumed that II he were set free, he
would probably get them. He was
therefore let out on bail; at the same
time he was kept under strict but
secret surveillance by the police. on
June n Kellman went to London ia
fetch the jewels and on his return a
few days ago he was rearrested at
Cleves on the German Dutch from
tier. where he was taken red-handed
with the missing Jewels and pearls
ia in number, hidden In his clothes

Governor Seeks Real Rest
spec;al Dispatch to The Tribune

SYRACUSE, July 16.-Governor
Miller, arriving at his home here last
night fer months vacation, set out
this morning to make it a real rest,
denying himself to all visitors. He
enjoyed a long sleep in the morning
and settled down to free himself from
executive worries.
Six strenuous months in the Execu-
tive Chamber have tired him out, he
said, and most of his vacation will be
spent at his home, $50 James Street,
in the fashionable residential
thoroughfare OF the city. Only few
close friends were at the station to
meet him last night.
A quiet weekend with his family
probably will be followed next week
with portions of each day spent at
the Onondaga Country Club links.
The Governor will play with his friend,
Chief Judge Frank Fl. Hiscock, of the
Court of Appeals.
While the Governor plans to forget
business cares as much as possible,
there probably will be several i'm
portant Republican conferences dur
ing his months stay.

Immigrant Woman, i'm First Hour Here, Gives
Police Tip; Grapples Chauffeur Who, She
Says, Tried Robbery, and Result Is Startling

Mrs. Joseph Brunanonti, Of Sicily,
who arrived in America for the first
time yesterday, already has taught the
New York police that one Of The first
steps in taking lawbreaker is to get
hold of clew and then hang on to it.
In proof of this rule Mrs. Brunanonti,
who is on her way TO a farm in Penn
sylvania, can point proudly to Bonnie
DeVore, OF 81 Perry Street, who is
locked up in the Tombs on a charge of
robbery, and Bonnie would be only too
glad to come out in public and sub
stantiate her statements if he had an
other pair of pants.
The Brunanontis after being released
IRON Ellis Island were taken to Pier
20 at North Moore Street in launch,
reaching the pier shortly after ten
O'Clock yesterday morning. They were
ignorant of all things American and
least of all did they know that it was
never considered proper in the land of
the free to voice objection to the will
of taxi drivers.
On the pier they were met by Bonnie
and his taxi. The Brunanontis had
never ridden in taxi and they hadn't
come all the way to America to start
in. They said as much to Bonnie, but
he was deaf to their entreaties and
waved them into his machine.

Oil Proves Fuel
To Sharp Partisan
Battle i'm House
Democratic Amendment Of
fered to Put Petroleum
ON Free List Starts Clash;
Dye Embargo Is Upheld

WASHINGTON, July 16.-After re-
fusing, by vote of 1872 to LOG, to
eliminate the three-year dye embargo
from the Fordney tariff bill, the House
jumped suddenly to-day into partisan
fight over oil.
But it did not last long. Flaming
fiercely at first, the oil battle ended
abruptly on a Republican motion to
adjourn until Monday. Although OPP
posed solidiy by Democrats, who
forced a roll call, the result was the
same as yesterday, when the Republi
cans, standing together, voted to quit.
BY breaking in unexpectedly, Repre-
sentative Garrett, of Tennessee, in
charge Of the Democratic minority,
forced the oil issue to the front. His
amendment to put crude petroleum and
fuel oil back on the free list was
thrown out on q point of order amid
the greatest confusion and uproar. For
time the House did not seem able to
tell it's legislative head from it's heels,
Republican breaking in with wild
shout to know "where we are at"
AS Mr.. CARROTS free oil amendment
was knocked out Representative Tread
way, of Massachusetts, a Republican
member or the Ways and Means Com
n,ittee, which, at the eleventh hour,
imposed duty of 35 cents a barrel on
crude petroleum and Is cents barrel
on fuel oil, stepped to the front with
an amendment to wipe out the pro-
posed tax. Being member of the
committee he was permitted to present
it, but was stopped at the close Of a
FIVE minute talk by objection of Demo-
Gratis, who announced they were pre-
pared to shut off debate and vote.
In the half-hour furry the oil duty
was violently denounced and warmly
defended. Representative Robertson,
Republican, of Oklahoma, brought
round of applause from those support
ing the oil tariff by attacking the New
England policy of demanding protec-
SION with one hand and free trade with
the other"
1t was apparent that oil took top

ME ran them around the block couple
of times and then stopped to announce
that they owed him sl5 Mrs. Bru.
nanonti thought this was rather steep,
but her husband seemed TO enjoy the
experience and ordered her to pay the
American official the sum he asked.
Mrs. Branonti said thas she was pay
ing the SIS. Bonnie suddenly reached
into the machine where they were
seated and seized necklace which she
was wearing. She objected and Ii
tussle resulted. Right then Mrs Bru-
nanonti had the foresight to see that
she would need clew. She fastened
her hand on Bennie's trousers and when
Bonnie decided it was time to leave he
was forced to go without his taxicab
and vital part of his pants.
Patrolman Gildea found the couple
in the taXicab and took them to the
Beach Street station, where Mrs.
Brunanonti refused to give up her
clew.
The desk lieutenant half an hour
later was still trying to convince the
Sicilian of the small value of her
clew when a young man sidled into the
station and said that he had lost his
taxicab. Before the desk lieutenant, act
ing on his own suspicious could order
the young man to turn around, Mrs
Brunancnti had seized him, but mod
csty forced her to let Patrolman
Gildea fit the clew in it's proper place.

Drys Face Fight
To Get "Beer Bill"
TO Vote i'm Senate
Agriculture Group Bent on
Getting Action on Meas
ure for a Farm Export
Financing Corp Grafton
From The Tribunc's WASHINGTON Bureau

From The Tribumc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON July 16.-The battle
over the "beer emergency" bill prob
ably will be fought in the Senate in
the coming week. The drys are de-
termined to force it to passage and are
confident it will go through when a
vote is reached. Their chief difficulty
is in forcing vote. Senator Sterling,
who has charge of the measure, Of
fered motion just before the Senate
adjourned Friday to take up the bill
This motion was not voted on, the
Senate adjourning without acting on it,
Senator Sterling intends to renew the
motion Monday.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, chair
man Of the Committee on Agriculture,
is intent on forcing to the front HIS
bill for farm export financing cor
poration. He will try to get this bill
made the unfinished business instead
of the beer bill. 1t is uncertain what
the outcome will be. Dry Senators are
for the Norris bill, but do not want to
be accused of standing in the way of
passage of the beer bill. One posi-
the unfinished business and debated at
length and that the opponents of the
Norris bill will try to delay that by
spinning out the discussion over the
beer measure.
Renewal of the effort of the leaders
to force an adjournment or recess after
the tariff measure is sent to the Senate
from the House is expected. The agri-
cultural ''bloc" will resist unless its
measures have been acted on, and the
dlys also will resist unless the beer
bill has been passed. The maternity
bill. is scheduled for vote on final
passage in the Senate the latter part
OF next week.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
OF the Anti-Saloon League, to-day put
out rejoinder to arguments Of Va
rlous Senators, including Senators
Wadsworth, Lodge, Knox and Brous-
sard, against the beer, bill. known also
as the Willis-Campbcll bill.
MI. Wheeler sought to refute argu-
ments that the pending bill is uncon-
stitutionsl on the ground Congress can
regulate liquor "for beverage purpos es"
only under the Eighteenth Amendment.
Quoting Senator Wadsworth as say
ing of the bill, 81 think it is fanaticism
of the widest kind and that it will
hurt the cause of law enforcement"
Nj. Wheeler said:
Every effective state prohibition law
regulates medicinal liquor more strict
ly than the pending legislation. Expe-
renee in the dry states has proved that
II IS necessary to control non-beverage
liquors for medicinal purposes if the
enforcement of the law is not to be
nullified. Senator Wadsworth has at
tackled prohibition in all of it's forms
just as viciously as he is now opposing
this necessary law enforcement legis-
lation. AS an opponent of prohibition
he cannot possibly have a greater in
terest in the enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment than have the
friends of prohibition, who are unsni-
mously supporting the bill"

place in interest among the House
membership in - five contested
schedules on " separate vote is
to be permitted scal rule. Every
body, it seemed, ", anxious to speak,
and worn out by The all-day wrangle
over dyes, members were ready to lay
off until Monday and get their forces
lined up for the real fight.
The dye embargo stood up against
a combined attack by Democrats and
Republicans. Described by those sup
porting it as a device to shackle the
vast dye interests of Germany, it was
denounced by Representative Frear, of
Wisconsin, Republican member of the
Ways and Means Committee, and others
as a move to build ue dye monopoly
in this country.
AS the vote was comparatively close,
some doubt was expressed as to the
final action by the House proper next
week, the vote to-day being in committee
of the whole. The schedule, in addition
to the embargo, fixes a duty of 7
cents a pound and SO per cent ad
valorem on imports of cal tar prod
ucts, from which the dyes are OBJ
tanned.
