dler Brothers & Co.'s hands.
This is the second big suit to be
brought as result of the Chandler
rows, receiver, brought suit against
Clark, Childs & Co. for the value of
Fred 7. Chambers Stock Exchange
seat, charging that Clark, Childs g.
Co. had used the Chandler concern for
bucketing operations, and that Ac-
count No. 502 was carried by the

One Man Believed to Have
Lifted Jewels Valued at
$4,000 i'm Two Nights
While Families Dine d
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

SOUTHAMPTON, L. l., Sept. IA
County detectives from District Attor-
ney Young's office and Chief of Police
Lane of Southampton, together with a
finger print expert, searched the Car
negie and Dilworth homes to-day for
clews to the jewel robberies discovered
Wednesday night, which are said to in
volve losses aggregating between
$4,000 and $4,000.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Morrison Carnegie was entered
Wednesday night and jewelry said to
be worth $4,000 was taken. The police
say that the robbery of the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph r. Dilworth, of
New York and Southampton, was ac-
complished the night before, when the
thief took away jewels said to be val
ued at $4,000 to $4,000. The police
say they believe that one man did both
jobs.
The Dilworth robbery was discovered
few hours after it occurred on Tues
been working on the case for two days.
Mrs. Dilworth said that entrance was
through the cellar or first floor, as it
would not have been practicable for the
robber to have entered through a sec
ond story window. The thief, she said,
apparently knew that the jewels were
in a safe in the closet of her bedroom,
as all indications showed that he went
directly to this hiding place. Mrs. Dill
worth said that her loss was partially
covered by insurance and admitted that
1t might reach as high as $4,000.
Mrs. Carnegie, who is relative Of
Mrs. DilWorth, informed the police thns
her family was at dinner when the
property was stolen. Whoever entered
the house, she said, worked skillfully
and quietly, as no one heard them.
Some OF the pieces which she lost were
valued more because of associations
and as heirlooms than for their in
trinsic value. Mr.. Carnegie, a nephew
of the late Andrew Carnegie Is treas
urer Of the Carnegie Foundation.

Bedtime Stories
The Young Fox Is Proud of Himself.
BY Thornton w. Burgess
The pride of independence is a
pride that's good to see.
II everybody had 1T how splendid
1t Would be!
Old Mother Nature.

The young Fox who had been forced
to live by himself was now certain
that Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy. his
rather and mother, had forgotten all
about him. If he was to put any
food In that empty. stomach Of his he
must get it himself. He would show
them that he was smart enough to
40 1T. Yes, sir, he would show them
that though they might forget him
ne wouldn't starve.
it was with such thoughts as these
thst the young Fox started to hunt
Tor grasshoppers on the Green Mead
ows. Now there had been a long
oIy spell and grasshoppers were very
plentiful, He knew just how to keen
ms eyes on one when it jumped and
see just where it alighted. He, knew
Just now to steal softly within Jump
ing distance and then spring on it
ana catch 1T under his black paws.
oometimes Che grasshopper was too
quick for him. But this didn't hap
pen often, and the young Fox soon
had enough grasshoppers in his little
stomach to take the edge off his ap-
Then he began to think of Meadow

days and he missed them. Yon see

now the young Fox began to hunt for
Mice. With his keen little black nosa

found tiny little path in which was

TO grow stronger he would stop every

grumbled.
His story was brief, He had re-
ceived wireless tip that there was
q woman aboard, aristocrntic and cul-
tured; that she had been very sweet
TO several Of the men passengers; that
she had reluctantly consented to play
bridge practically every night at sea;
that she had collected rather heavily
at the end of each sitting.
"I talked to about Ave men about
her" continued Eddie, "and not one
would complain. She was woman,
they said, and they were not willing
to accuse woman Of cheating at cards

ashore, and she has just passed her

Court Will Decide

Mrs. Harris Can Sue
Attorney Admits Bankers
Charge of Hlegitinaacy,
but Denies She Associated
With Memphis Gambler

Justice Martin of the Supreme Court
will decide next Monday whether Mrs.
Elaine Lee Harris may continue suits
which she has brought in the Munich
pal Court to collect four $500 INSTALL
ments of an allowance which her hus-
band, Beverly D. Harris, banker, agreed
to give her when they separated. Mr..
Harris, who recently resigned as vice
president of the Nationa! City Bank,
asked Justice Martin for an injunction
to restrain Mrs, Harris from prosecu-
ting her Municipal Court action pend
ing his suit to have his marriage an
nulled, his contention in that suit being
that he was deceived into marrying
her
1t is alleged by her husband that
Mrs Harris was an illegitimate child,
and also that she had been the intimate
friend of Eli Raynor, Memphis gam
bier. Mrs. Harris is moving for a
separation on charges of cruelty and
intoxication.
George Gordon Battle, as counsel for
Mrs. Harris in the injunction pro-
ceeding, admitted the allegation of
illegitimacy made against his client.
which, he said, was no reflection on
Mrs. Harris, but denied the charges
associating Mrs. Harris with Raynor.
* have never seen a more con-
temptible exhibition of lies" said Mr..
Battle. "in an effort made by a man
to rid himself of his wife than in the
case now before you"
"The charges made by Harris" con-
tinued Mr.. Battle, "that his wife had
been the mistress of Memphis
gambler named Eli Raynor, have been
disapproved by the fact that the girl
was. only ten years Of age at the time.
1t is an unfortunate fact that Mrs
Harris was born out of wedIock. hut
her husband knew it at the time Of
his marriage to her. This is an effort
by Harris to get rid of his wife. II

sistent effort to get rid Of herPfor

Women Gamblers Replace Men
On Transatlantic Steamships
ssThe Duchess Gets a Grand Play, but Company
Detectives Must Be Sure That She's Crook
Before They Put the Basket Over Her

Women are replacing men gamblers
aboard ocean liners.
Little Eddie Mallon, the watchdog
Of the piers, whose Job 1t is to spot
seagoing gamblers, is authority for the
statement. He says the men claim
they are going straight because they
have found that travellers are too care
ful and ships officers too watchful.
Most of the gamblers, says Mallon,
came to that conclusion just about the
time White Star captain sent we'll
known gambler to the detention hos
pital aboard his ship following a
spirited little party in the smoking
room, when fists were brought into
action.
But where men have dropped cards
and dice,> women have taken them up.
The women are known to Eddie and to
other detectives who help him watch
the piers, but the problem is to catch
them.
One big liner recently came into port
and Eddie, as usual, met it at Quaran-
tine. He lost himself as soon as he
was aboard. But by the time the liner
had reached the pier he popped into
view, sore and disgusted, with dis

A Forgetful Hypnotist

/ He was a famous hypnotist, and
as usual, he was urged to relate
some stories concerning the pow
er he had at his command. More
over, he was very absent-minded.
81 remember once during my
stay in New York l had the
pleasure of saving a workman
from being killed by a fall. l
happened to be looking out of
window two stories higher.
| Immediately concentrated my
hypnotic Influence on him and so
arrested his fall in midair."
And the hypnotist, conscious
that he had made a stir, sat back
with satisfied air.
"But,' inquired one of his
feminine admirers, "didn't the
man publicly thank you for
saving his lifei"
"Heavensl" the hypnotist cX-
claimed. "Now | come to think
of it, the poor fellow must still
be waiting up there for me to
free him from the influence
