Two Held as Last
OF Discriminating
Gang Of Robbers
Two Enter Professors
House, Where Detectives
Await Them Besides
Trunks Filled With Loot

With the arrest of two men on a
burglary charge last night detectives
Of the Bathgate Avenue station became
confident that they had caught the last
of the gang of discriminating crooks
which rfed the home of Professor
George T. Jones, at 1919 West 179th
Street, the Bronx, between August I8
and September 81, while the New York
ton.
The robbers evidently had made
themselves perfectly at home in the
house, for heavy candelabra, trunks,
rugs and drop chandeliers figured in
the loot. Everything of value was
grst to their mill, regardless of size,
and such was their discriminating eye
that nothing but the best was removed.
Two largo trunks filled with valuables
were found packed when the professor
returned, apparently earlier than his
unlimited guests had expected.
1t was the two trunks that enabled
the police to make the arrests, for they
guessed correctly that after the thieves
Uau gone TO Cne T0uDle OIL RetlDR tHe
loo together they probably would go
back for some time. On Monday eve
ming the house was darkened to give
the impression that it was again vacant.
Detectives Mccarthy, Wilson, O'Connor
and McCarton were stationed inside to
await the return of the thieves
A little after midnight the watchers
returned to the station house with AL
bert Taban, whom, they allege, they
caught breaking in through a window.
On the strength of information said to
have been obtained from the prisoner,
Michael Grace and Edward Mcdonald,
both of 800 West Twenty y-eighth Street,
were arrested last night. Taban gave
his occupation as a "bellhop," McDon-
aid as a florist, and Grace as "dis-
tiller."
Most of the loot has been recovered,
according to the police. The biggest
mystery which remains unsolved is
why the thieves went off with the pro-
fessor's history notes. These are still

Nova Scotian Calls
On Race Trustees
To Resign Places
Phil I'll. Moore Charges Their
Financial Interest in Blue
nose Dictated Their Re-
lection of the Mayfiower
spcoaal Dispatch to The Tribune

HALIFAX. N. S., Sept. 2s.-A cnal-
lenge to the trustees of the interna-
tional schooner race trophy to resign
and allow men not financially interested
in the Bluenose to pass on the elgi-
bility of the Mayfower was issued to-
day by Phil H. Moore. Nova Scotian
sportsman, in a letter published in "The
Evening Echo
In letter published earlier in the
week Mr.. Moore strongly disagreed with
the trustees in their decision with re-
gard to the Mayfiower and upheld the
boston craft as being in every sense a
fishing vessel. This letter created
quite sensation, particularly when
Mr.. Moore assailed the trustees for
being financially interested in the Blue
nose.
The letter published to-day was in
answer to an editorial which appeared
in "The Echo" in which that paper ex-
pressed its belief that the trustees
were acting in good faith and dealing
with the Mayfiower problem in all fair
ness; Mr.. Moore says the members of
the board of trustees, who are fnan-
cially interested in the Bluenose, are
in the same position as judges In a
horse race who are also owners Of one
or more of the competing horses. He
urges that the international series be
conducted like big sporting events
in the following terms:
"If the trustees and. indeed any
member-owners of the board or com
mittee are such trustworthy sportsmen
that they will fairly exercise their ex-
tensive powers even to barring dan
gerous competitor (such as the fishing
schooner Mayfiower may be) against
their best sporting instincts, why, they
surely are sportsmen enough to under
stand sporting ethics. Realizing their
untenable positions, they should i'm
mediately resign and let some people
with no financial interest in the Blue
nose pass upon the eligibility Of the
Mayhower. or other contendere"
No further statement was forthcom-
ing to-day from the trustees, and it
appears that the next move will be
made in Gloucester when the American
race committee meets to deal with the
final decision Of the board of trustees.

PENNSYLVANIA
Miners Bring
Plea to Hylan
Mayor Takes Step Toward
Settlement of Soft Coal
Strike Affecting Subway
and Elevated Service

Representatives of the striking soft
coal miners of Cambria and Somerset
counties, Pennsylvania, appealed yes
terday to Mayor Hylan and the Board
Of Aldermen to aid in bringing about a
settlement of the strike in the mines
of the Berwind- White Coal Company,
which furnishes fuel for the subway
and elevated lines.
Through William H. Woodin, State
Fuel Administrator, Mayor Hylan, after
hearing the miners spokesmen, re-
qnested E. ]. Berwind. head of the coal
company and also a director of the In
terborough, to meet the union miners
with view to arranging settlements
on the basis of the Cleveland agree
ment. which has been accepted by most
of the bituminous operators throughout
the United States. Mr.. Berwind in
formed the State Fuel Administrator
that he would make his answer to-day.
James Mark, ce-president of the
miners district organization, presented
a graphic picture of the tent colonies
in which the workers have been living
since their eviction from the houses
owned by the coal company, and de-
clared the union men and their fami-
lies had been oppressed by mine
guards. He urged that the city admin
istration use every means to bring
about settlement between the union
and the company, and thereby halt fu
ture decreases in service by the transit
companies on the plea of fuel short
age. Mines with capacity of $50 cars
a day around Windber, Pa, Mr.. Mark
said, were producing only forty cars
daily, due to the strike.
The miners spokesman contended
that the city had the right to see that
subway service be set above a Penn
sylvania union-crushing company" Be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 union miners
are said still to be on strike in Somer-
set and Cambria counties, where are
situated the mines Of the United States
Steel Corporation and the Rockefeller
interests, in addition to those Of the
Berwind White Coal Company. None Of
these has settled with the union men.

Hope of Completing
 Small Jury Soon Has Now Been Shattered

WAUKEGAN. Ills, May 5.-(By the Associated ss)-The jury to try Governor Len Small, charged with conspiracy to embezzle state funds, was torn apart today to peremptorily challenge two men, one of whom had been finally accepte an dsworn, and had been sitting in the jury box for more than a week.
 The dwindling hope of obtaining a full jury by the end of the second week of the trial was completely shat tered when a dispute arose over the question of permitting the defense to make, in the examination of prospec- tive jurors. reference to its contention Ithat the state treasury act of 1907 is unconstitutional.
 It was agreed that Judge Edwards will not rule on the prosecution ob- jection to this point until after the last panel is tentatively completed.
 The trial will start its third week next Monday with two jurors yet to be found, and two of those seated still liable to peremptory challenges.
