Medlco-Chlrurglcal College, probably
foresaw the consummation of the pro

RThe fact that tho work there was thus

XCW YOIIK, Jnn II. Thomas Woods,
2." years old. of Ml Last Mth street, was

.iSth strret. In the window nn.i displayed
more than 03,000 worth of wntches and
diamonds.
Captain J. A. Jackson, of the United
Ptnton Const Ounrd Service, frustrated
tho lobbory. The cnptnln told the police
he saw tho mnn huf tho brick through
the window nnd ginlibcd him. A. n.
Lambert, of tho Jewelry firm, noticed tho
scuffle. He and clerks rnn out nnd held
tho man until Policeman StolTcr nrrlvcd
The point where the brick was hurled
through tho 'wjtidow Is Just above nn
Iron grntlng. Tho hole was large enough
to let out a trny of 16 diamond pins worth
about ?5000.
Woods was questioned In the store
bv Lambert. He said he had been a
Wlrcworkcr In the iMiinlnv of thn
intcrborough, hitt'losl hit position,
wife and two children were 111 In
and there was nothing to. cat In
House, he said.
ltobert Llssauer, another member of
tho firm, accompanied Woods to the po
lice stntlon. He requosod tho police In
vestigate the man's story.i nnd a detec
tive verified It.
The detective found Mrs. Woods
111 In bed. Tho children Thomas, IS
months old, and Knther'lnc, three yenrs
old were In bed with the mother. Mrs.
Woods said her husband had worked
In the Intcrborough machine shops seven
yenrs. Ho was laid off six months ago.
The three rooms the family occupies
nre given them for Janitor work the
husband ,does In tho building. Yesterday
Mrs. Woods became so -4 1 1 her husband
went to the Union Settlement to get n
nurse. Ho .came back without help. Ho
left his homo again saying ho wns going
out to look for work.
When told her husband had been
arrested Mrs. Woods asked the detective
to be lenient.
Llssauer Is expected to nppear as com
plainant against Woods when he Is
arraigned In tho Yorkv(lle Court this
morning.
The nttempted robbery Is the second
at tho Lambert Brothers' store. In 1SS9
tv.u robbers put a -wedge through a door
Gnd escaped with a trny of diamonds.
Bernard Tucker, a clerk at that time,
wh'o still Is employed nt the store, wna

Columbia Records is always flawlessly true.
Every quality of voice and instrument is brought out'
with force and clearness perfectly preserved and superbly
expressed, unmistakable even in the harmonious confusion
of orchestral music. To hear Columbia Records played on
the Columbia Grafonola or on any other instrument is
a revelation of what tone-pcrfec-tioti
can be.
Ask the nearest Columbia
dealer to play your favorite or
chestral selections. Note how
you can listen for the recurrence
of the theme how beautifully
distinct is the thread of harmony
carried, by each individual instru
ment. Compare this with the
best rendering of the same com
position you have heard by an
actual symphony orchestra and
you will know how truly Colum
bia Records are called "The
Mirror of Music."
