NEW ROBbER|ES
ARE REPORTED
Lack of Police Protection
Along State Street Blamed
Rob st. Mary's
NEED MEN, CHIEF: SAYS
Up to City to Appoint Them,
He Adds-Poor Boxes
Are Robbed

Lack of police protection along
State street, one of the main streets
in the city, can be blamed, it is al
legged to the robberies and attempts
reported to the local police today.
When the attention of Police Chief
Tonnesen was called to the fact that
there was no patrolman on State
street OTTER 3 o'clock this morning,
he referred to the shortage of police
men and said that it is up to the city
officials to appoint more men.
The meanest of the robberies re-
ported today was the looting of one
of the poor boxes in the rear of st.
Mary's church in Center street. Time
after time the various cash recepta-
cles in this place of worship have
been looted and the guilty party has
earned the title of the "meanest
thief" known.
Entrance to the church was gained
by forcing the lock to the door on
the Center street side and once in
side, an attempt was made to break.
the lock on the Center side section.
Not successful in doing this one of
the staples on the box was broken
and after the box was looted a chisel
used in the work was left behind.
The door leading to st. Mary's
school on Center street was pried
open and it is believed many of the
rooms in the building were visited.
The desks in the different rooms
were open and as far as is known
nothing was taken and no damage
was done.
Stern Store Robbery
An unsuccessful attempt was
made to break the window in the
door of the I. Stern clothing store
a. 130 Fayete streer some time dur
ing the night. The thief or thieves
were determined, however, and
threw the large rock used in the
first attempt through a side portion
of the show window. An overcoat
and coat OF a suit were taken. This
is the store which was claned out
by Chileans six or seven months ago,
and the local police cleared up the
case within twenty-four hours.
A thief or thieves endeavored to
get into the fur shop of Joseph Her
mann, 2S4 State street, during the
night, but the furier has the rear
of his establishment too wei. pro-
tected. The thieves worked on the
window and door in the rear, but
were not successful in making any
headway. A week ago this build
ing was damaged by fire and the
looters figured they would have an
easy time to gain entrance.
NJ. S. Goldberger, butcher and
grocer, of 739 State street informed
Lieutenant Andrew Jensen this
morning that some one pried the
lock off his rear cellar door. An
attempt was made 20 gain entrance
through the inside door, but the
thieves were unsuccessful. The
businessman asked that the police
man on the beat visit the place each
night.
The police are also investigating
a visit paid to the butcher shop of
John Sutor. at 430 Smith street,
which occurred some time Wednes-
day night.
The detectives and policemen are
working on the robberieB sgd at
tempts. Early last evening a call
VISA received from 1913 Smith street
reporting suspicious person in the
rear of shoe store. The party was
not located.

IA Lead By American


NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-VilhjaImar
Steffansson, who year ago founded
the colony of Wrangell Island which
was reported from Nome today to
have been carried off by a Russian
transport, said there are IA In the
colony, 13 Eskimos led by Charles
Wells of Uniontown. Pa, a native
born citizen of the United States.
The economy was not founded in be-
half of Great Britain, but of the
United States, through an American
corporation in Nome. Mr.. Steffans-
son, declared. This situation is up
to the United States" he said.
The explorer pointed out that he
was a Canadian by firth and long
time resident of the United States.
All his work on the island had been
in behalf of these two countries, and
he was convinced from his historical
studies that Great Britain and the
United States were the only nations
that had claim to the island.
The Russian claim to Wrangell
Island is so weak as to be negligible
from the historical or legal point of
view" Mr.. Stefansson continued. mo
Russian ever saw Wrangell Island as
far as we know until 1911. That
NdS SlAly -lWO dlleI lllc DIllloIl
discovered it and thirty years after
the United States steamships Corwin
and Rogers planted the United States
flag there in behalf of their govern
ment."
For two years I sought to inn
press the British government with
the need for colonizing Wrangell as a
future base for inter er-continental di-
rig lie and airplane traffic, as we'll as
al-lble immediate commercial asset,
especially for furs and reindeer
breeding. walrus hunting and seal
ing" said Stefansson.
But the British and Canadian
governments, although recognizing
their claim to the island by right of
discovery and exploration, could not
see my plans for colonization. So
year ago I transferred my personal
interest to the American corporation
in Nome and supervised colonization
of the island under the leadership OF
the man from Pennsylvania"
