Female Detective Gets Alleged
Evidence and Nighttime
Raid Results.

Excitement ran high shortly
before 2 o'clock this morning
when Lieutenant Davis and Ser
gesnt McQuade, of the vice squad,
raided the house at 1895 X street
northwest and gave chase to a
man who was garbed only in his
underwear, after he had ieaped
from q bedroom window. Police
whistles and the reports Of pistols
caused many to peer out the win
dows on the route of the chase.
The Reason Of IL All.
About three weeks ago wons n
private detective was hired by Clar-
ence /. WITT, proprietor of the Neal
Brothers Circus, which is now in
Goslen, Ind. TO trail his wife, Mrs.
Minerva Il. Witt. She received IN.
formation that the woman was at the
X street address and she engaged q
room.
Following a weeks observation
she felt justified in notifying the
husband of what was going on. Witt
got into communication with Detec-
tive Joseph Morgan, of the Central
office, and Davis and McQuade were
assigned to the case. The raid this
morning was the result
The man who fled gave his name
Ms Ernest John Schuman. twenty-five
years old, and said he was electrician
with the circus. Mrs. WITT and her
boy left Goslen simultaneously with
the disappearance Of Schuman, 1t
was said.
WITT learned that Schuman had
purchased the X street home some
time ago and that he had been living
there with a woman. He gave the
number to the detectives. and they.
IL conjunction with the female oper-
ative, placed the house under surveil-
lance. -.,
Betrayed by Underwear.
When McQuade saw Schuman leap
from the window he gave chase. As
ne ran he fired his revolver in the
air and blew his whistle as a signal
10 other policemen to head the man
off. Schuman succeeded in reaching
a ciump of shrubbery, but the white
underwear proved his undoing. With
the aid of a flashlight he was caught.
Schuman and Mrs. Witz were
charged with statutory offense.

Soused Partridge
Does Imitation
of Bob White

SEAFORD, Del, Aug. 21.-
The latest ''hootch" story down
this way, and one that is
vouched for by two reputable
fredericksburg (Md.) citizens,
Robert Nichols and Daniel
Wright, illustrates the far
reaching effects Of the liquor
traffic.
While strolling through the
country some distance. from
town, these men heard the clear
call Of a female partridge some
distance away, the bird articu-
lating Bob White, Bob White"
distinctly, but with an evident
note Of anger.
Suddenly, from q nearby
clump Of bushes, sounded the
male birds response, and to
their amusement it suffered as
it came out in the open, utter
ing hurriedly, "B-b-Bob White;
B-b-Bob White"
Seeing Nichols and Wright,
the male partridge winked at
them and proceeded to navigate
across the field like a rudder-
less ship in a storm. On in
vestigation IL was discovered
that some sour mash from q
still, either nearby or at a dis
tance, had been dumped in the.
field, and Mr.. Partridge had
been indulging, with the result
that his SPEECH was thick, and
he answered his wife by slut
tering-"B-b-Bo bWhite."

market and. In addition to market
ing up new high price records in a
large number of individual stocks,
established the level Of railroad

road stocks today was conducted
on an extensive scale and in an
enthusiastic manner, representing,
according 10 the testimony OF lead
ing brokers, n revival of interest by
investors who have long spurned
railroad stocks.
Settlement Of the shopmen's
strike was only Incidental to the
more important factor Of prospec.
tive high earnings in store for the
railroads as a result Of the general
revival in business.
AS q result OF the forward move

has been marked up to the highest
point for this year, though still be-
low that OF the early part OF 1920.

improved their price level by about
one point on the average. All OF the

Production Of Coal Begins and
Outlook Good for End OF
Rail Strife.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.


Clearing industrial skies ushered
in. the new week today, in the
opinion. of Government officials in
close touch with both rail and coal
situations.
Production Of coal win begin this
week In mines that have been idle
for four months. and with the inn
proved outlook for peace IN the
railway shopmen's strike, officials
generally were confident that the
end Of this week win see industrial
peace once more established.
Harding Is Optimistic.
Those who talked with President
Harding over the weekend said Mr..
Harding was most optimistic over the
Industrial outlook, and was wen
pleased with the manner In which
his message to Congress was re-
ceived, despite the volley Of criticism
shot at 1t by Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent Of the American Federation OF
Labor.
The Government plans no further
step In the railroad situation until
Wednesdays conference between the
railway executives and the strike
leaders In New York reveals whether
basis Of adjustment has been reach
ed. Private advices received In
Washington by Senator'S and others,
and reiayed to the White House, In
dicate such a basis has been found.
and will be ratified on Wednesday.
B. NJ. Jewell, national director of
the shipments strike, returned to
the Capital today to await the New
York conference. He would not
comment on the New York negotla.
tons other than to deny reports
that he sent kilograms to district
chairman telling them to prepare
for the end Of the strike. He would
have no authority 10 do so, az that
is a matter Of policy that must be
decided upon by the policy com.
mittee OF the striking shopcrafts.
Congress Is Waiting.
Jewell said he did not expect to
see President Harding again prior
to the New York meeting on We'd
nesday.
Meanwhile, Congress gave indica-
ton today of dallying with the
Presidents suggestion for legisla-
ton In the coal industry.
With the tariff in conference,
and the controversial bonus ques-
ton next coming to bat, Congress
appeared In no hurry to enact Mr..
Harding's recommendations into
llegislation. The Federal fact-flpd-
ing commission to explore the en-
tire coal industry from top 10 bot
tom probably win be authorized
shortly, but the national coal
agency to buy and sell coal likely
viii be delayed for some time, II 1t
is ever established.
The enactment of the Kellogg
bill. giving the Federal courts
power to intervene where aliens are
concerned in strike riots, also is
likely TO be long delayed. Pacific
coast Congressman are. almost uni
versally against II because Of the
Japanese question. and other Con-
gressmen consider II an interfer-
ence with States rights.
