You are Mrs. Newlands, wife Of
lands, are you not?'' he then asked.
Mrs. CuIley denied that she was,
but her polite guest seemed to doubt

ed the door and was met by q
stranger who inquired whether she
was Mrs. Newlands. She replied
in the negative and the man turned
as IL to go, but suddenly turned
again with the revolver in his hand.
Calls Her Dog
Mrs. Culley then called her dog
from the basement but the dog had
been trained to be friendly with per-
sons who were in the house, so paid
no. attention to the man.
The bandit then went upstairs
ana looked through the rooms after
which he seemed assured that there
was no one else in the house, so
returned and engaged in casual con-
versation with Mrs. Culley.
When he was finally made to be-
lieve that she was not Mrs. New
lands, whose summer home is but a
block from the Culley residence, he
turned and said:
could you suggest a good place
for me to lock you up until / can
get safely away?"
I'm sure that will not be neces-
sary,' Mrs. Culley replied, "as my
husband is not here and will not
call the police until he arrives"
The, gentleman burglar agreed to
this and took his leave, tipping his
hat as he closed the door.
Handsome, She Says
He was unmasked and a rather
handsome mvn of about thirty-five,
Mrs. Culley said. He seemed to be
well educated and cultured.
Mrs. Newlands, whom the man
wished to rob, has moved to her
winter residence at 1928 Massachu-
sets avenue.
Mrs. Culley is the wife of Earl
B. Culley, member of the firm of

Reorganization Power
Never for President,
Saws. Senator LenrOOt

Congress will never enact a bill
placing complete Jurisdiction over
reorganization issues in the hands
Of President Coolidge, Senator Len
root of Wisconsin declared today,
following an interview at the White
House.
Senator Lenroot is a supporter
Of the Smoot-Brown plan of reor-
ganization and believes 1t will be
enacted at the next session Of Con-
greSs.
Senator Edges proposal that the
President be given complete au-
thority over the reorganization ques-
ton probably is all right in theory.
but Congress could never be per-
suaded to accept it," said Senator
Lenroot. For that reason think
it is useless to agitate the matter
any further"
