WOMAN'S PROTEGE
Young Man She Sheltered When
HI Disappears Had
Warned Her to Hide
Valuables
'TANGO THEFT' RECALLED
NBTVTOnrc, Jan. IS. A striking bit of
coincidence In New York life from the
same rooms In tho apartment house at
IO Riverside drive where Mrs, Gertrude
E. Pike viaa robbed of several thousand
dollars worth of Jewelry In the autumn of
Mil by Herbert J. Eaton, tho dude
"tango thief," who scraped an acquaint
ance with her at n Hotel Astor tea
dansant, J12.000 worth of Jewelry has now
disappeared.
Mrs. Pike" In not the victim this time,
but Mrs. Rose Tevnn, who subsequently
leased the apartment. She did not report
tho matter to the Fourth Branch De
tective Bureau for nearly 36 hours be
cause 6ho thought, Bho told the detectives,
that a Joke was being played Upon her In
order to "teach her a lesson" not to bo
no careless of diamond rings, brooches
nnd lavalllercs as to atoro them In a big
vaso on the mantel Bhelf over tho ilre
placo In tho living room of her homo.
For some months past there has been
living In her apartment a young man to
whom sho opened her homo when ho wns
very 111 and who had become convales
cent. Frequently he told her It was folly
to keep her valuables thus In a vase.
Sho went to a matinee on Wednesday.
Returning, she missed the convalescent
young man, and later, when she went to
put other articles of Jewelry Into tho vase,
sho discovered Ub emptiness.
But aho mado no outcry to tho nu
thorlttea. She said sho thought that
perhaps tho young man, possibly Joined
by other of her friends, hod conspired to
play a trick upon her. But Thursday
evening she sought the police.
Sho. offered, however, no chnrgo or ac
cusation against tho young man and.
In giving his naniouml description nnd
telling where ho might probably bo found,
sho did so on the stipulation that the
pollco withhold his name from tho pub
lic Sho oven accompanied tho detectives
to Borne of theso places.
But at a lata hour last night Acting
Captain Cooper's aides had reported them
selves unublo to And tho convalescent
young man. They say they merely de
sire to have an "Informal chat" with
him. Mrs. Tevnn Is said to bo still hope
ful; bo the affair may yet prove to be
"only a Joke."

PURSUERS WITH GEMS
Throw Diamonds Into Gutter
and Escape While Men Stop
to Pick Them Up
When you Beo glittering" diamond atlck
plna starlnc; you In the face from, lowly
street gutters or sldowallta. don't always
atop to pick them up. It all depends
upon clrcumstnnces, for that's Just what
Bevcrnl Adams Kxprcss Company em
ployes did yesterday, and as a result the
police today arc still searching for the
two clever thieves who hurled a brick
through the window of the Jewelry store
of Samuel S. linns, 173S Market street,
nnd made n safe getaway, carrying- t-2000
worth of dlnmonds.
The robbery Is said to be one of the
most daring1 "pulled" In Philadelphia In
yenrs. It occurred In broad daylight yes
terday nfternoon and within practically
a stone'B throw of City Hall. The thieves
wero chnscd several blocks but escaped
by a tempting" nnd clever ruse.
Thieves aro said to live on their wits.
Ono of the two yesterday evidently knew
all about the fair Atatanta, the Grecian
maid who was vanquished In the legend
ary foot race because she could not resist
tho temptation to stop and pick up apples
dropped purposely by her crafty but
slower opponent.
Bo that as It may, Samuel and his
brother, Joseph Haas, were In the store
when the robbery occurred, Thero vns
a crash of plate glass and Joseph Haas
ran forward In tlmo to see a man's hand
disappearing through tho opening' In tho
shattered window, holding a largo well
lllled tray of dlnmonds, and he Immedi
ately raised a cry.
The crash also was heard by employes
of the express company, and when Haas
oaltd for help tney Immediately gave
chase after tho two men who had started
nt a brcalc-neck. clip west on Market
street. The thieves were gradually being
overtaken, when, one ot them cleverly
baited the pursuers with diamonds.
Stick pins nnd eten rings began to fall
to the pavement and Into tho gutter. One
of ho expressmen stopped to pick them
up. 'lis fellow workers stopped also and
gat' red about him. When they realized
thoj had been "duped and took up the
chase ugaln the thloves had a good start
and escaped up an alley near 20th and
Ludlow streets.
HURT AS RESULT OF COLD
Driver -Thrown Under Wheels of Cart
and Taken to Hospital
The fall la temperature early today
catiBed nn accident on Ridge avenue near
York street, when a driver running" besldo
his wagon to keep warm was thrown
under the wheels of tho vehicle. He wua
taken to the Woman's Homeopathic Hos
pital, where It was found he suffered
from bruises and a fracture of the right
leg.
The mnn Is Harry Seiner, a huckster,
of 2132 South Eth street. The frigid
weather caused him to get off the wagon
and run by the side of the horse to keep
warm. The horse did not move -fast
enough for him and he whipped It up.
The animal shied, knocking Seiner under
the cart, and one of the wheels passed
over both hla legs.
Soys Alunition Makers Wont War
American munition makers are doing all
they can to push this country Into war,
according to Dr. George W. Nasmyth. di
rector of the World's Peace Foundation,
who addressed the Friends at the meet
ing house, 15th and Race streets, last
night. He said that to push a country
Into preparedness for war amounts to the
Bamo thing. "Europe has learned this,"
he said, "and the same methods and ar
guments are being" used here for prepared
ness that were used there before the war,"
This country, he said, could not be half
democratic and half military. It would
have to choose one or the other, he said.

"The particular plaht I nm associated

enough to keep us running at capacity
for thrco months, but ennnot get dye
stuffs. One-thlrtl of our employes aro
Idle now. nnd within a few weeks that
number will bo Increased,
"We want permanent relief from such
conditions, and' In order to have It there
must bo congtesslonal action, I am not
hero to advocate any particular tnrllf
rate, but somcthlnp; should be done to
Iniuro American manufacturers, who
may enter the production of dyestuffs,
that they will not be wiped out at tho
close of the war by dumping" German
dyes here."
Testimony was given by purchasers of

YEAR OF PROSPERITY
FOR AUTO INDUSTRY
Country Responded to Extra
Efforts of Enterprising
Manufacturers
It Is generally agreed that the auto
mobile industry hns enjoyed during 1015
the most prosperous year In Its history.
Denlcrs sny the -iantry responded
marvelously to tho extra effort which
was put into advertising and selling.
Big sales resulted in spite of tho fact
that the foreign market for pleasure
cars waa entirely wiped out. Many con
tend that the activity In tho uutomobllo
lino also aided other lines of business
generally.
While there was an Inclination to cut
advertising, nnd reduce forces generally
when the war started, thla was averted
by a number of farseelng nutomobilo
manufacturers, who continued making
their normal output while they spread
a campaign of optimism.
This sentiment became Infectious, and
as a result the thousands of persons who
figured on keeping their money In bank
found that they would bo out of dale If
they didn't keep abreast of tho times in
the way of new cars. The development,
of new Ideas In the way of cfllclency and
comfort was also a big factor, and tho
men who wero not frightened by cries
of panic set a pace which was followed
quickly by their competitors, and the
public responded.
j
NO MORE glaring FALLACY is exploited by Prohibi
tionfsta than their outcry that indulgence in alcoholic
drinks creates a comparatively large number of excessive
users of liquors, and that divorces and wrecked homes are
due in great part to drunkenness.
IN THIS Prohibition charge, like others that emanate
from1 that source, FACT rises, supreme, through official
investigations, to refute the allegation that misuse of alco
holics causes more than a small proportion of marital and
home troubles. For instance, the great city of Chicago
