RICH CHICAGO
WOMAN DICKERS
WITH ROBBERS
Surrenders Jewelry On
Promise Not To Harm
Children.

CHICAGO, JAN. Z. U.D-The
shrill whistle of n policeman di-
recting traffic along Lake Shore
Drive less than block away
sounded through the gold coast
home of Charles Manton Richter,
millionaire vice president of the
Consolidated Magazines Corpora
tion, while five bandits took charge
of the household for nearly an hour
last night before escaping with
$1,000 worth of jewelry.
The quintet operated with ma
chine like percision, cutting tele-
phone wires and keeping strict
guard over the Richters, their two
children and four servants.
AS "sporting proposition,'
Mrs. Richter agreed to turn over
her jewelry if her children, Stephen,
II, and Mary Patricia, 6, who had
just been put to bed by nursemaids,
were not molested.
The bandits agreed and entered
into the spirit of the deception by
asquiescing when they were "intro-
duced" to the boy and girl as old
college friends of Richter.
A maid answered the doorbell
and was told by two we'll dressed
Young men that they wanted to see
Richter. When he stepped into the
door, one of the bandits prodded
him with a revolver. A smooth
voice said:
"Steady now. You know what we
want. Lead us in.'
Woman Is Calm
Three forms loomed up from the
shrubbery and followed their con-
federates inside. The procedure ap.
parently had been arranged, as the
bandits started for different parts
OF the building.
Mrs. Jean Richter came down.
stairs and was told it was a holdup.
"Please,' she exclaimed, "my
children, I'll give you anything but
don't harm or frighten them "
A robber promised there would
be no shooting unless an alarm was
raised.
Mrs. Richter took the robbers to
her bedroom and gave them three
diamond bracelets, ring set with
three diamonds, an emerald ring. a
diamond brooch and her husband 5
platinum watch.

by taking up the highly disputed
sugar schedule consideration Of
which has been DELAYED for months.
The house, meanwhile. heard the
first echo of the prohibition contro-
Ycrsy which ragged during the holi-
days an echo that will grow louder
in spccch by Representative
La Guardia, Republican, New York,
one of the house wet leaders.
The drys are biding their time.
The dry senators led by Senators
3orah, Republican, Idaho, and Brook
bart, Republican, Iowa, are faced
with Il gentleman agreement that
np time viii bc taken from the tar

Borah is expected soon to give the
senate the evidence upon which he
based his holiday allegations against
the existing enforcement system.
Brookhart SAYS he expects TO speak
in about 10 days concerning private
information he has accumulated re
garding these enforcement d l..
tiOns.
House drys have manifested no
cageruoss to enter the fray, 50 the

son, Mississippi, are protesting con
sidcration Of the sugar schedule
next. It is the major paragraph of
the bill, proposing an increase of the
existing l.76ccnt a pound Cuban
duty to 2.20 cents n pound. Advo'
Gates of the increase want the mat
ter decided now, and Il test Of
strength is expected today.
The Democrats desire the delay
chiefly because the lobby invcstiga-
ton commmittcc has not yet re
ported on the activity of sugar lob
visits in framing the bill They he
licvc much ammunition for debate
will be furnished them in the report.
The sugar hearings resumed before
