BY GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

THE Rev. Thomas Royce Brendle, Of

among the Pennsylvania Germans Of Bucks,
Montgomery and Lehigh Counties that has

The first one since the battle years was
styled Choir Reunion. ...
According to long established rule, 1t was
held in the woods and on a Sunday after
noon. Last Sunday.
At least thousand persons comprised
the audience, who came in automobiles for
miles around.
1t was an open air praise worship.

DROF. HAMILTON did another u
L nrncndnntnd thinn

l. precedented thing.
Farmers wives were mere adjuncts with
out voice in farmers institutes before his
time.
He put women on his programs to talk on
household economics
Even the work Of beautifying the garden
was urged as n necessity till in the end
women were as numerous as men at these
farmers gatherings.
Illustrated lectures for the night sessions
on trade topics, farmers opportunities in
the markets Of the world and kindred sub
jects caught the young folks.
After he went out of Office in Pennsylvania
the United States Government thought so
we'll of his work that he was called to Wash
ington.
There Secretary Wilson made him Assist
ant Director of Farmers Institutes for the
East and North.
When a triumphant democracy seized the
rcins Of Government Hamilton got out.
For years he has lived quietly in his fine
old home near State College.
He was one of the last survivors Of the
regime that controlled when Or. George w.

old enough TO understand. So the visitor
told Suzanne and Suzanne just looked
at her and gurgled into the milk bottle.
NO. that's wrong. Suzanne didn't look

that Suzanne would never have as much

And because Suzanne was blind soma
one took her case to the Legislature, the
State having never made any provision
for the care OF it's blind babies. A
wealthy woman OF Arkansas became in
terested and sent Suzanne east TO the
Arthur Home for Blind Babies in Sum

priated the small fortune and credited
1t to Suzanne's account. Finally DR..
Lynn Emerson of Orange. who attended
Suzanne when she had chickenpox, said
yesterday that he believed the cataracts
which cover her eyes could be removed
In time, so 1t may happen that some

LAME MAN SOUGHT
IN 100000 THEFT
Blonde Young Woman Who
Accompanied Him to jew
elry Factory Also Wanted.

A maa who limps and his blond
young woman companion are being
sought as accomplices In the 100000
robbery OF platinum set jewelry from
the factory OF the Fochi Manufacturing
Company. Inc, in II East Forty-eighth
street The robbery occurred late
Wednesday afternoon, as told in late
editions Of THE New York HERALD yes
terday. but the police still refused to
make known any facts about II. Four
men, two apparently Sicilians and two
native Americans. were the actual ban
dts.
The connection OF the man and the
woman who visited the plant Tuesday
afternoon ostensibly TO make purchases
at Wholesale did not dawn upon Caesar
Fochi. president of the concern, until
yesterday. He realized then that the
couple had obtained complete knowledge
Of the stock of finished jewelry on hand
It's location in safes. the arrangement or
the rooms even to the size Of the wash
room In which Fochi and five others
who were in the loft at the time of the
robbery were made prisoners. lnas-
much as the robbery next day proceeded
without lost motion, false hunting or
conversation, he is convinced that they
turned their information over TO the
four men who made the actual holdup.
The farewell statement of the man
calling, Mr.. Fochi remembered. was the
ironic Don't worry. Mr.. Fochi. shan't
forget you. You'll hear from us soon"
The police found number of finger
prints on the ri1ed safes and on the
woodwork OF the factory office. They
were furnished also with a good descrip-
tion or the six believed TO be partici-
pants. as the four holdup men were
not masked The only other clue is
lace bordered plllowcase left behind
when the robbers found another one
they brought was sufficient to hold all
the loot.
In fixing a value for the stolen arti-
cles Mr.. Fochi placed 100000 as
minimum. which may be swelled to
s120, 900 after a careful inventory. In
surance covers only $4,000 OF the loss.
The valuation. he pointed out. repre-
sents the actual cost of the gems and
metal plus the labor on them. The re-
tall value would be much higher.
The bracelets, rings, pendants and
other trinkets already finished or in the
process Of being studded with all sorts
Of precious stones represented almost the
