Thief Not Canght


No arrest had been made up to
IL o'clock this morning in the hold
up which occurred yesterday aft
ernoon shortly after l o'clock at
the Atlantic and Pacific store at 70
Rubber avenue. Police this morn
ing were still hunting the apparent
ly well-dressed nan, about 80
years old, with gun who forced
Edward Dillon, 20, of 40 Rubber
avenue to stand aside while he
robbed the cash register, and elud-
ed police and nearby residents after
leaving the store on foot, He got
$32.
The thief was last seen in the
sectionf off Cherry street which
connects Cherry and Arch streets
and which is known as "the clus-
ter" All trace of him from this
point on seems to have vanished. 1t
is possible he might have had an
auto parked nearby and sped away
after understanding his pursuers.
No such auto was noticed however.
Chief Adamson and some of his
helpers secured all the territory in
that vicinity shortly after the theft
yesterday but their efforts proved
fruitless. There is much wooded
territory not far fom there and 1t
is easily probable that the thief
might have hid himself safely there
until nightfall. Many now believe
he has got out of town by now.
1t was the first holdup here In
Ave years. The man attired in a
gray suit and gray hat, entered the
store. Mr.. Dillon was on duty
Richard Cooney, manager, being
home to lunch.
He ordered a can Of milk and
when Dillon turned to get it, jab-
bed the gun into the clerks back,
He then moved over and started
removing the contents of the cash
register. Dennis Carroll, who owns
a nearby tavern, entered the store
at this point and not seeing the
gun at first thought 1t was a COM
pany official taking the money.
However the gunman ordered Car
roll not to move and fed hastily.
Carrolls entrance saved the store
some money as the thief did not
take all the money in the register.
The hold-up man went on foot
to Cherry street and the cluster"
pursued by Dillon, Carroll and
others. He there evaded them. Ac-
cording to Dillon, the man had
been in the store earlier in the day
and bought package of cigarettes
Michael Tarnowski, meat store
operator on Cherry street, said the
man had been in his store earlier
asking about the manager OF a
First National store. The thief left
$S3 in the register.

LACK OF Boards
IN BRAIN TRUST
ROUSES LUDLOW
Young Officials in Govern
ment Draw Ire of HooSier
Congressman.
By Time' Special

By Timer Special
WASHINGTON. April 23-Rep.
Louis Ludlow believes that we have
too many beardless young officials
telling experienced business men
what to do and how to do It."
So he writes in the Congressional
Record, inserting a letter urging
balancing the budget which he re-
ceived from Nicholas H. Noyes, sec
rotary and treasurer of Eli Lilly &
Co., Indianapolis.
The Hoosier Congressman also re-
corded the full text Of letter he
himself sent President Roosevelt
asking that half Of the s4.880 900, 900
public works funds De used for
financing private business concerns.
1T is not the function Of govern
ment 10 employ people, except in
sofar as may be necessary to carry
on the processes Of orderly govern
ment," Mr. Ludlow said.
Business Revival Needed
yet we have come TO a deplorable
pass in this country where the gov
eminent is the great employer. and
It appears that literally millions Of
people. men and women, adults and
minors, all over the Union, are
straining themselves to the limit,
desperately striving to get their
names on a government roll
The mail that comes to mem
bers OF Congress is heavily swollen
with applications for government
employment, and, in every Con-
greSsman's office the filing section
devoted to Requests for Jobs is
stuffed to the bursting point"
Only restoration of private bust
ness can reverse this trend, he as
serted.
Leave the Job to the honest and
experienced business man and he
will do it lot better than if he is
ordered and directed from Wash
ington," he commented.
Hopes for Normally"
Citing his suggestion to President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Ludlow concluded:
Vast expenditure for public
works will never restore normal en-
ployment and prosperity, in my
judgment, but by increasing the
debt and tax burden and throwing
the budget more out of balance such
expenditures will increase the fear
of business men and will postpone
the day of normally in business
and industrial activities.
The Lord forbid that there
should be many more postpone
ments of the return to normally in
America"

r OSEPHINE, Marquise de Vaucluse St.
Pierre, the sweetest of women, but
always something of a bosense, flattered
herself in those strange misty moments
that her passing from this world into the
nebulous future of eternity was a journey
exquisitely in keeping with the aesthetic
beauty of her own well-ordered life. She lay
upon rosewood couch of the seventeenth
century drawn up before one of the high
oriel windows of the chateau, her face turned
towards the mysterious Esterels. There was
delicate fragrance about the lace at her throat,
the lavender silk of her dressing gown, the
ancient leather-bound missal which rested by
her side. Her eyes, still blue, looked out upon
scene she knew well - landscape of green
pastures and olive trees, of Towering fruit
orchards, and a darker line of pine trees which
stretched in irregular fashion to that silver
streak of the sn-bathed Mediterranean She
remembered the consoling words of the priest
but found it hard to believe the world to
come could hold anything more beautiful
Something woke her from long day dream.
1t may have been the appearance of marvel
ously colored butterfly futtering aimlessly in
and out OF the window, resting now upon its
grey stone sill and preening its wings with
almost feminine vanity. She made the slight
est movement with her head. A nurse bent
over her.

woman was at his wife's side - long grey
man who moved with the help of stick.

What can we do?"

answered. Last time we were at the palace

She inclined her head slowly.
81 should have sent for him before" she
regretted with little sigh. "The doctors tell
me, however that the end will not come until
night. There is still time Send message,
dear. and see if he is to be found"
1t seemed to the Marquis strange request,
but ne made no comment He sent for his
secretary and gave the necessary orders.
Il shall Sleep" the Marquise whispered to
the nurse, but do not be afraid : shall
wake again"
'You would like to speak to the doctor or
the Bishop" the nurse enquired.
"Only to the man for whom have sent"
she answered, closing her eyes.
Besserley, in his grey tweed coat and white
ttannels, sun-burnt and muscular, seemed to
supply strange element of vitality in the
stately apartment of death. The wan-faced
Sisters, the gaunt figures of the Cure and the
Bishop. the Marquis himself - old and infrm
- all seemed rather like ghosts as he passed
through their midst in the anteroom. The
Bishop moved uneasily in his high-backed
chair 1t was like the introduction of a flavor
of pagansm into sanctifed corner of the

left the chateau grounds he heard the tolling
of the bell in the private chapel.

later to the second scene of the little drama
into which the dying legacy of the Marquise
had directed him. There we're oil lamps hang

which thirty or forty people were seated, a
muffled whispering of curious voices. No one
quite knew what it was all about The house
party with whom Besserley had come were
themselves mystified.
1T is like seance of some sort" their
hostess murmured
From behind shabby curtain of black
velvet came the sound of softly struck chords
upon an ancient but carefully tuned piano.
The melody mad strange fascination.
The room was suddenly in darkness. With
a Creaking sound the curtain rose. At first it
seemed as if there was nothing but empty
space. then lights from some illusionary back
ground the figure of a living woman dressed
in white, her hands appraised, her features
almost tindistinguishable. Whatever the strange
music meant to the audience it was readily
interpreted by the single performer who
slowly, in rhythmical effortless movements.
her body turned now as though in pain when
the music sank to the minor cruder chords,
now in the smoother joy of content when a
wave of fuller melody filled the ROOM There
was harsh interlude The girl swayed and
rocked upon her feet as though seeking
passionately for guidance. long suffering
cry in strange tone broke from her lips Her
body writhed as though in agony. The cry
which still ebbed and flowed from her lips
seemed to turn from prayer to curse. then
died away in sweet but inhuman notes. So a
priestess might have called from the altar on
which she was sacrificing her own child So
she might have sobbed when the sacrifice was
accepted. -.
When half an hour later the dance was
ended, the audience stole out like ghosts.
Voices were hushed. Hidden footsteps fell
softly upon the CObble stones By degrees
they began to talk but not single voice was
raised
