THUG KNOCKS DOWN
WOMAN Who FINDS
HIM ROBBING SAFE
Two Captured After Lying ir
Wait for Realty Agents
Rent Collections.

Tempted by the prospect of rent
money collected at the beginning OF
the month, James Henry Murken and
Charles Quincy who confessed to-
day TO the police, entered the home
OF Mrs Esther Krakaucr No. 500
Gpeene Avenue, Brooklyn, at 4,o'cloc k
yesterday morning. They got in by a
coal chute and hid in the cellar for
six hours, thinking that by that time
the place would be quiet and de-
serted. Quincy, who lived only half
a block away, knew that Mr.. Krakauer
was a real estate agent and confided
this to Murken.
At 10 o'clock they crept from the
cellar into the basement, where they
found a poCketbook in q a,dehoard
drawer But this had only q small
sum of money in it, so they left it
and went exploring further. on the
main floor of the house they came
upon a small safe. Quincy, who
knew the Krakauers, put a bandanna
handkerchief over the lower part OF
his face, pulled down his cap and
both men went to work at the COM
bInation.
At this instant Mrs, Krakauer en-
tered the room. Murken leaped TO his
feet and knocked her down with a
blow in the face. Then he drew an
automatic pistol and told her to keep
stlll. But the noise of the fall brought
a neighbor from the upper part Of the
two family house and when he came
on the scene the two marauders fed.
A telephone call to the Gates Ave
nue. Station brought a squad of re-
serves in a patrol wagon and the block
was surrounded. Some one in the
neighborhood saw two men climb a
fence and hurry away and a moment
later Quincy and Murken were
arrested.
They admitted having entered the
house, and took the police 10 a vacant
lot and showed where they had hidden
the automatic and blackjack This
morning they were in the lineup Al
Brooklyn Police Headquarters ant
were later arraigned in the Gates Ave
nue. Court.

| The character of Manhattan Island
is always changing.
From Indian, Dutch, English, its
mopolitan population
/ From the wigwam TO the skyscraper
it has changed, INTELLECTUALLY.
Now comes another change OF
great importance-one that will en-
tirely alter the physical appearance
of New York City.
The skyline of Manhattan has been
the city's proudest boast, but now 1t
is being radically changed-and Tor
the better. It's IKE painting the lily.
Have you noticed the new skyline?
1t has stepladdcr effect.
New York viii see no more sky
scrapers with oblong tops-square,
box like, unitarian structures
Instead, the new skyline is marked
by what is termed set backs"

elevation is set back" forming a
step. lutu lllc Stl-plNh VIZ N'''''
proceeds up a distance and then again
comes setback" The "sot-backs,'
or terraces, multiply on up to the
clouds, according to the size OF the
structure at the base.
The reason for this is explained by
Rudolph Miller, superintendent OF
Buildings. THE new sky line" said
Mr.. Miller, "is the result OF the coming
system established July 25, 1916
which imposed various restrictions as
to the height of buildings. The city
! was divided into zones, and new
buildings we're limited in height on
| the street fronts.
THE districts vary. In some the
street height Of the building cannot
| exceed two times the width of the
| street. In others they can build up
two and a half times the width of
| the street 1t is never over two and
| "a half times nor less than one, The
streets are figured to be never more
| than 100 feet wide nor less than fifty
| feet,
buildings may go higher than this
| provided they set back. Rcstric-
! tons govern this. Say street is 100
| feet wide, the street front OF a build
| ing may rise twice the width of the
street Gin two times district, up TO
| 200 feet Then, if more height is re-
| quired, the set back height is deter
| mined this way: Multiply the dis
! lance the next step is set back by
! two and that gives the permitted ele-
walton Of the step, and so on up. 1t
| can be broken into many steps OF
used all in one. II 1t Is a tWO-and %
| one-half times street you multiply
| by two and a half This does not do
! away with towers, because a tower
occupying rs per cent. Of the property
space may rise TO any height.
II think the architects are greatly
| in favor Of this restriction" went on
Supt Miller because it affords them
opportunities OF unlimited possible
ties in designs, stimulating creative

THE PRIME DUTY.

Former Senator A. ]. Beveridge uttered a timely
warning, when, in address on Washington day,
he inveighed against The swarms of foreign propa-
gandists that creeping all over America. He
said
t"Any political association with any foreign
government is as foolish it is unpatriotic.
The moment we interfere or even are asked to
interfere in foreign political broils problems
we become racial madhouse. Infinitely more
important than any international solidarity is
American solidarity"
To some this may appear a selfish doctrine.
But any doctrine that has for its aim the welfare
of 100 0O0O 900 human souls after all, is unsefsh,
if one may indulge in a paradox.
With our great "melting-po" matter what
sides take in any purely inter-foreign question:
we shall automatically and needlessly njure offend
or disappoint the thousands of American citizens
whose ancestors from the country against
which deciding
It is a sore test of the loyalty of foreign
born or foreign-bl ooded citizens to to go out of
our way and judge the merits of controversy
that in no way involves American honor, safety
prosperity.
Does not the welfare of the 1OOOOO,OOO citizens
of the United STAGES count for something, too?
II take sides with Korea against Japan, then
shall have to take sides against Britain in favor
of Ireland, for the principle of selfdetermi-
nation is involved.
And suppose that tomorrow Zanzibar NADIA
gascar, the TERRA del Fuego decides that it is
being oppressed, how consistently refuse
to assist it in its national ASPIRATIONS"
1t is precisely this that Senator Beverdge means
when he warns against becoming racial mad
house"
We have mentioned this matter before, and viii
do so again, when the news of the day warrants
it, as it now; for believe that the great
est danger that the United States today is that
Of becoming embroiled in through the selfish
Vaccinations of foreign propagandsts, of whatever
race, color previous condition of servitude they
may be-
Yes this may be a selfish view; but it is less
selfish than the aims of those who would draw
nation of 100000 900 into strife in order to gain
their point

LETS GO"

The chief of the morale branch of the war
service said few days ago, that Lets Co was
the one slogan that seemed to stir the soldiers to
action better than any other.
This phrase is interesting for the very SIM
plicty of it. 1t suggests that many of the big
results of life are not achieved by any argument.
If the chief of morale had talked for an hour to
la group of soldiers about the duty of making
assault on some fortified position, they might not
have felt any like doing it. They might
realize keeny than at the start the awful
peril of the thing and the gruesome chances they
were taking.
But when some jumps up and says, Let's
Co., the thrill of consent and comradeship runs
through the men like an electric shock. The
psychology of it is the tremendous power of eX-
Iampe. People feel they can do what other people
do. They do not like to hang back where others
show courage. One strong man exemplifying pa
triotsm and herosm by his acts, counts more than
long orations about duty and the logic of the
situation.
So it IS in all the proceedings of daily life. You
may argue until you are hoarse, and you may not
be able to inspire any active interest in some meas
ure for the benefit Of the community But if some
|wdeawake fellow gets up and leads the way peo-
|ple are ashamed to show unwillingness to follow.
|They dislike to admit that they have less public
Esprit than other people have. and they willing
Ito 80 far other people will lead them. 1t
lis a great force working for progress
II you can get leadership, you get things
|done. So Lets Co" here in Albuquerque for
|every good movement that will make the home
|town a better place to live in, a nobler realiza-
ton OF human ideals.
Build that hotel!
