GEM THIEVES

NEW YORK, June 26 CU.SO,
A super-Sleuth of the Federal Gov.
ernment-a Oman trained in the
habits Of jewel thieves - today
took command of investigators
probing Long Islands record,
breaking $40O, 900 gem theft. The
gems were stolen from the show
place residence of William r. Coe
on the North Shore.
The four chief clues were a fin
gerprint, somewhat Smudged, on
door knob in the Coe home; q
footprint in the mud outside; a
mysterious visitor" who had tried
to enter the estate some hours
before the burglary. and "informa-
ton" about one of Is servants
discharged by Coe in the last few
months.
Perhaps the strangest move di-
rected by the Oman was that po-
lice detectives maintain guard
over the offices of Noel c. Scaffa,
famous private detective, who has
recovered millions of dollars worth
of stolen gems. In previous cases,
Scaffa has returned the goods
mysteriouSly, and the thieves often
have escaped punishment.
An unnamed master criminal" "
nicknamed "Raffles, was the
chief suspect of the Federal agent,
it WAS reported.

Candidates of the Pipe
(NeW York Times

(NeW York IlmeS
 Nothing is pleaSngly symbolic of the new spirit in the Republican party than the choice of two pipe-smokers to lead the ticket Governor Landon and Colonel Knox are briar brethren. According to candid campaign photographs, they unite on the straight-stem pipe which is not the most profound but the most aggressive type. The most profound type has curved with the bowl somewhat lower than the mouthpiece. It is admirably adapted to reading books in easy chairs and it engenders studi- ous disposition. But in reading that requires exceS sive lattudina motion of the head, like newspaper reading the curvedsem pipe interferes at the left shoulder-blade and is not recommended for men of action As the Republican candidates no doubt have discovered, the straight-Stem pipe promotes dynamic thought It is a pipe that looks boldly ahead. The pipes smoked by Governor Landon and Colonel Knox suit the present needs of their party
 Studies of the personal habits of Governor Landon show that he is not above borrowing pipe tobacco and cigarettes from his neighbors The borrowing of pipe tobacco is if it is ultimately returned creditable habit denoting homely comradeship much loved dur ing a political campaign. But pipe-smoker who borrows cigarettes is respectfully advised to keep close watch himself It is not nsidious in itself but may become so for it is the beginning of dual character. Cigarettes eXcusable in people who have never risen to the nicotine eminence of pipe smoking But man who has become, after years of study and application vrtuous enough for pipe cannot trfe with cigarettes without subtly demean ing himself
 Before urging the point in regard to Governor Landon it would be desirable to be more thoroughly informed, for frequently there are exceptional cir cumstances when ppe-smokers cannot refuse cigar cites without giving offense to their interiors And it is gratifying to learn that Governor Landon is not the sort of who has trouble with his pipes Some forever complaining that their pipes crack get too hot or have to be cleaned several times a day; misguided wretches pettishly scrape the bowl down to the wood every day. Others continually experimenting with new brands of tobacco. However well such people may think of themselves privately they are not pipe-smokers at heart and not to be entrusted with grave public affairs. Governor Landon can handle pipe without stopping after every puff to the manufacturers Being Kansan it is possible that he can also manage eorncob the front porch after supper His posi- tion several national questions is not yet esab
 shed but he is a ppe-smoker. Give him time and can of readyrubbed

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1886

Conflicting planetary influences are discerned for oday, according to astrology, but benefic aspects strong ly dominate. It is time of good luck for persons who occupy posi- tions of distinction.
 While the partial eclipse of the moon on this date is seen as an i'll omen, it is foretold that out of many uncertain conditions there will iS- sue a certain degree of progress in the United States
 The midsummer holiday is to be memorable for some dramatic incl dent as well as for the general incli- nation to enjoy sports and recrea- tions. Hotels and summer resorts will realize large profits.
 Horse-racing will encourage bet ting and the gambling mania will be widespread Travel by airplanes as well as by railways will be un- usually heavy.
 Good feeling will be promoted under this configuration. It is fla vorable to orators, but political can didates may enjoy a false confi- dence.
 This is a most fortunate rule of the stars for tradesmen of many sorts. Prosperity may be apparent in the reckless spending of money today, which encourages openhand- edness i'd hospitality. 3.f5
 Women should be on guard against disappointInents' and even accidents. It is not promising day for love interests. Men are likely to be self centered and preoccupied with their own affairs
 The evening is more promising for social contacts than the earlier hours. Dances and outdoor fetes are subject to favorable influences.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pleasure and happiness. Journeys are indicated. So are sudden courtships and nasty marriages.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be gay of heart and fond of amusement, but usually they are gifted artistically and intellectually.
 Stephen C. Foster, famous song writer, was born on this day 1926. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Emma Juch opera singer, 1865; Joseph Ponnell, artist, 1860; Nathaniel Hawthorne, Amer ican author, 1904.

the rights of all Americans to Life Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness It declared battle of human ity against greed; of the rights of the individual against special privilege.
 So long as those principles are not betrayed by men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" regardless of party or creed, we can celebrate nation each Fourth of July with greater enthusiasm and well being. But if we lose sight of that great purpose which inspired Jefferson write his compatrots to sign there may well be cause to declare again, Jefferson: They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consan- guinity"

THOSE INALIENABnE RIGHTS

When in the course of human events it
 becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
 the political bands which have connected
 them with another, and to assume among the
 powers of the earth the separate and equal
 station to which the Laws of Nature and of
 Natures God entitle them decent respect
 to the opinions of mankind requres that they should declare the causes which impel
 them to the separation.
 We hold these truths to be Self-evident
 that all men created equal that they are
 endowed by their creator with certain in-
 aenable rights that among these are Life
 Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness That
 to secure these rights, Governments
 tuted among men, deriving their just powers
 from the consent of the governed That
 whenever any form of Government becomes
 destructive of these ends it is the right of
 the people to alter to abolish it. and to in-
 stitute new Government laying its founda-
 tion on such principles and organizing its
 powers in such form, to them shall seem
 most likely to effect their safety and
 Happiness.
 It was Thomas Jefferson, the Virginia lawyer who ndited those lines, and on July 4 l776 just 16o years ago tomorrow, they were adopted by the Continental Congress meeting in Independence Hall Tn Philadelphia as the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence, which resulted in the United States of America becoming a free and in- dependent nation
 There is much more to the complete Declaration the adoption of which we celebrate tomorrow as h. dependence Day. It lists at length the tyranny to which the thirteen colonies had been subjected which caused them to rise in revolt and declare themselves forever free from British rule But in those two lrst paragraphs are found the meat of the Declara- ton of the Independence those words are couched the spirit of independence that all men are created equal that they endowed by their creator with certain nalienabe rights that among these are Life Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
 It IS significant that last week their met in Phila- delphia, not far from Independence Hall where the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of h. dependence, great political party party founded on the principles pronounced by that same Thomas Jefferson. It. too declared a declaration of inde- pendence; declaration of principles which declared
