FINDS BURGLAR
in HER BEDROOM
Mrs. Renser Faints After
Routing Thief on Her
Return Home.
CAUGHT AFTER CHASE
Officer Amberlang Finds Pete
Wilkinson Hiding in Tannery
Bark Pile Soon After.

Mrs. David Renzer, So North Main
street, thought that Sunday, Septem-
Der %, was like any other Sunday, UNI
| til it climaxed for her a little after SIX
o'clock when she arrived at home and
found burglar was in the house, CIV
ing her welcome. Today Peter Will
kinsin, charged with burglary, will be
brought into the municipal court.
The Renzers have~a clothing store
at 55 North Main street, with their
living quarters upstairs. Mr.. Renzer
was in Milwaukee Sunday and his wife
| had been away from home in the af-
ternoon visiting friends.
About quarter after six O'Clock she
returned, climbed the stairs to the
fiat and found to her surprise that she
did not have to unlock the front door
to the apartment. The door was aJar.
Mand Stands at Dresser.
| With her mind occupied with wonder
at this Circumstance she stepped into
the rooms, and walked into her bed
room. There stood a man facing the
dresser, the drawer open, and his
hands rummaging among the contents.
A cry Of dismay escaped from the
frightened woman, and the intruder
turned instantly and grabbed her.
| Mrs. Renzer tore herself from hds
grasp and darted towards the stairs,
crying ''Police! Police!" at the top of
her voice. The man ran too, slipped
down the steps past her, and out
through an alley. On Mrs. Renzer's
call to the police office, Sergeant Max
Kramer at the desk detailed Officers
O'Hare and u. Bauschelt to the house
and at the same time patrolmen in the
vicinity were notified to be on the
lookout for the fugitive.
Found in Bark Pile.
| Officer Charles Amberlang found a
man hiding under the tannery bark
piles near Grand avenue shortly after
the call came. The man gave his name
as Pete Wilkinsin, %, of the Brass
vile hotel He brought Pete to the
home of Mrs. Renzer, where the other
police had arrived for possible identi-
fcation. O'Hare and Bauschelt found
Mrs. Renzer in badly frightened con-
dition. She had tainted after the ex-
perience with the burglar, and when
the police brought Wilkinsin, she look
ed at him with a shudder and declared
that it was the man whom she had
found in her bedroom.
Nothing had apparently been taken
| from the house. The drawer in which
the thief was rummaging when inter
rupted contained the linen and in the
drawer below lay Mrs. Renzer's silver
and jewelry, which he had not had
time to discover. The police found
that the lock had been pried open with
a screw driver.
The man who entered the place had
come about six o'clock. Just before six,
| the two Renzer boys had been home,
found that their mother had not re-
turned and that the door was locked
and gone away.
Bought Suit Saturday.
Mrs. Renzer told the police that Will
kinsin had purchased read-made
suit in the store Saturday, said that
he had no money with him and said
that he would come Sunday to get the
suit.

'"Tinae Means Life" Is Slogan of EUangolino Booth
In Ralying The Salvation Army for japanese Relief
BY F. S. CLARKE.

Commander Evangeline Booth
has modified the vast resources
of the Salvation Army throughout
the United States for two stimuli
taneous campaigns in the interest
of Japanese relief work.
The first is for at least $1,000
900 in cash to be transmitted with
as little delay as possible to the
relief stations established by the
Salvation Army and the Japanese
Government in Toxic and Yoko-
hama.
The second is an appeal to the
American people for discarded
clothing to be sorted, fumigated
and packed by the Salvation Army
for immediate shipment to Japan.
Commander Booth has received di-
rect word from the stricken area
to the effect that mems clothing
of all kinds, women's clothing of
simple design and remnants OF
practically all materials will be
useful to the homeless Japanese
during the coming cold season.
To meet the Japanese emergency
adequately, and to make both
campaigns successful, Commander
Booth has summoned to her head
quarters at New York the officers
who aided her in making such a
conspicuous success Of Salvation
Army service to the doughboys in
France. Practically the entire war
service machine of the organiza-
ton has again been put into motion.
ain common with the people of
the earthquake zone our workers
have suffered and died." said Com
mander Booth in announcing the
campaigns, ''but, Notwithstanding
this great loss the Salvation Army
in Japan is still functioning in an
efficient and heroic manner.
"Among the bereaved and strip
ped and wounded who suffer in

INCREASINGLY, and General Booth,
my brother, has issued an urgent
call to the entire world, asking for
at least ten million dollars to
carry on the work of succor that
must be done by The Salvation
Army forces in Toxic and ada
cent cities.
GAS the leader of this work in
this great land feel we must con-
tribute worthily toward the relief
of all this sorrow and tragedy.
We must send at the very least
one million dollars, and am
quite sure that the American
people, having given such unrnis-
taxable evidence of their appre-
citation of the spirit and object of
this Movement, will join in max
ing the result of our appeal typi-
cal of the large and generous
heart of the United States.
"Tine means life-therefore I
am trusting that the American
people will respond as promptly
as possible both in money and in
contributions of useful clothing.

OFFICER ESCAPES
TARANTULA BITE
Deadly Spider Leaps at
Henry Maurer While
Being Captured.
DIES IN MOONSHINE

Capturing a tarantula found in a
bunch of bananas at the Stevens gro
Gerry store, PIT Wisconsin street, nearly
cost Officer Henry Meurer his life.
While cutting off "hand" of the ba-
nanas from new bunch which had
just been hung up in the store, Mr..
Stevens discovered the deadly poison
Gus spider lurking near the stalk. The
officer happened to be passing at the
time and was called in.
While attempting to get the spider
into a two-gallon glass jar, the. thing
leaped at the officers hand and missed
sinking its fangs into his flesh by a
fraction of an inch. When the men
realized that the tarantula could
spring more than six inches, and that
it jumped without warning. more eau
ton was exercised in effecting the
capture.
Once safely in the jar, the spider
was taken to police headquarters by
officer Meurer where a quart of newly
seized moonshine was poured over it.
Then for more than half an hour the
police stood by watching the death
fight of the "black death" The poison
in the moonshine at last extinguished
the last spark of life in the spider.
Tarantulas Found frequently.
These taraptulas, it is said, are fire.
quently found in punches of bananas.
Being a tropical spider, they hide in
the punches and ARE not discovered
until they get up north, although that
particular bunch may have been han
died hundreds of times in transit. They
are greatly feared by natives of the
tropical countries owing to the fact
that their sting is almost sure death.

medical supplies, food, building ma

stricken populace were supplied as
rapidly as possible.
To cope with possible epidemics,
Judge Payne ordered the purchase of
$250,000 worth of medicines and dis

Hundreds of thousands of dollars
were spent and clothes for the des-

More than 100000 have thus been pro-
vided with complete clothing outfits.
Five hospital buildings were pur-
chased this week for immediate ship
