STEAL $1500 IN JEWELS
A spectacular cscnpo of motorcycle
bandits under fire, with diamonds valued
at $1500, astounded hundreds of Christ
mas shoppers, along Gcrmantown avenue
last nlffht.
Uslnc a muffled brick to smash a
j window in the jewclery store of Ben
jamin Oster, 1010 Ucrmantown avenue,
one thief seized n tray of jewels under
the eyes of a dozen persons intent on
Christmas shopping.
Ab the bandit ran to the curb, where
his companion waited on a motorcycle
with a side-car attachment, Mr. Ostcr,
tho jowelcr, grabbed a revolver und
hurried to the sidewalk.
There was a rapid scries of detona
tions as the little vehicle bearing the
two bandits started up Gcrmantown
ayenue. The inuchino leaped forward
under the urge of the gas.
Oster, standing on the curb before
his store, aimed his revolver nt the
fugitives nnd fired five shots. Pedes
trians crouched against walls and store
windows in fear of bullets.
As the bandits were disappearing
from view several motorists gave chase
at high speed, but they lost their quarry
on Broad street.
Tho robbery and the sensational es
cape occupied but one or two min
utes. Oster hurried back to his dis
play window und appraised his loss.
Seven diamond rings, the most valua
ble on display, had been stolen.
Therq were many other nrticlcs of
jewelry in the window, but it was ap
parent tho thieves had carefully studied
tho display before the robbery.
Tbo theft was reported to tho Fourth
and York streets polite station. Dis
trict Dotectives Griffin and Lyons were
assigned and were able to get a fair
description of the bandits.
Bystanders who saw the escape of the
pair last night said their motorcycle
did circus stunts iu avoiding trolley
cars ana other vehicles. Uolug atuibout
sixty miles an hour the little machins
sped along at an angle, one side in the
air, as the fugitives skirted obstacles
in their path.

OPERA STARS TOAST
CARUSO'S NEW BABY
Noted Tenor Now Has Three
Children Daughter to Be '
Named Gloria
New York, Dec. 10. Visitors crowd
ed the apartments of Mr. nnd Mrs. En
rico Caruso iu the Hotel Knickerbocker
toduy. They had como to congratulate
the tenor and his wife, who was Miss
Dorothy Pari. Benjamin of tills citv,
and to pa their respects to Miss Gloria
Caruso, who came into the world late
last night.
Mrs. Caruso is said to be in excellent
health and the eight-pound dunghter Is
also doing uicelj The girl dime in
answer to the hopes of both mother and
father. When Mrs. Caruso returned
from Italy with her husband last Sep
tember and confirmed reports of their
great expectations, she said to a re
porter: "Motherhood w a wonderful privi
lege. I bad hoped that some dav I
would hnc a daughter of in own."
Dr. Austin Flint, who attended Mrs.
Caruso, said the child wns born at
10:45 o'clock. The news wns at once
telephoned to the Metropolitan Opera
House, where Mr. Caruso will sing to
nlsht in "Ij'KIisir d'Amore " Not long
afterward the telegrams and visitors be
gun to bring congratulations.
At the Metropolitan the health of Mi."s
Gloria wkis pledged bv the stars in sulIi
beverage an the prohibition law or pri
vate stock allowed. The tenor's
"Christmas bub" was hailed especinllj
by the opera chorus and stage hands,
Krutcful for many Christmases w hli h
Caruso has brightened for the humbler
folk with his showers of gold ut this
season.
Mr. Caruso, who is neaily forty
seven years old, began his career as a
singer in 1SS1.
Caruso und his wife were married here
about a jear ago against outspoken op
position from Mrs. Caruso's father,
Park Benjamin, a lawjer. Her broth
ers, one of whom was wounded in the
nrmy, were friendly with the tenor,
however.
Shortly after the wedding Mr. and
Mrs. Caruso visited the bride's brother
nt the Brooklyn Naval Hospital. This
gave rise jto a story that there had
been a reconciliation between the singer
nnd his father-in-law.
In this connection Mr. Bcniamin is
sued n statement saying his son's "hon
orable wounds nnd devoted service
should have protected him from being
dragged into a bald nnd blatant adver
tisement of Enrico Caruso, a public
singer, which appears in the guise of
a report of this man's visit to the
hospital."
Mr. Benjamin several days ago adopt
ed as a daughter Miss Anna M. Boslchi,
who had been employed as his daugh
ter's companion.

SEES LIBERTY FOR
AN EY SUSPECTS
Counsel Says Habeas Corpus
Will Froe Accused Man and
Woman
EVIDENCE CALLED FOR
tlu a Staff Corrrtvondent
Atlantic City, Dec. 10. Charles S.
White, accused of murdering little
"Billy" Dansey, of Hammonton, and
Mrs. Edith Jones, under nrrcst as an
accessory after the fact, will cat their
Christmas dinner at home, free of the
charges. ..
That was the confident prediction
made today by G. Arthur Boltc, coun
sel for the man and woman, before
leaving for Newark, where Judge
Swajzc will bcur his application for a
writ of habeas corpus.
"Wo certainly expect to have them
free for Christmas," he snid.
"We are not pressing the prosecutor
for n mcctinir of the crnucl lur.v so mi ch
as wc nre pressing for justice in this
case. The appenl that will be made
will be based on Knowledge wc have
as to the prosecutor's evidence und his
Intentions. Wc may not have all the
facts, but wc are Informed sufficiently
to believe that the circtimstautlul evi
dence he claims to possess is not suffi
cient base for the charges he makes and
not enough to warrant keeping White
und Mrs. Jones in jail.
"We will use what information we
have now or will secure in the argument
to Justice Swajzc, and justice In this
ease means that the two prisoners be
released from custody
The time for the convening of the
grand jury to net on the Dnuscy ease
hns not been fixed. The fact that,
Brinklc Oumnicy, forcmuu of the jury,
conferred with Prosecutor Ddinund C.
Gasklllvfor some time jc-terda is taken
as significant, however. The jury con
venes ut the call of Mr. Guskill.
Mr. Oaskill sins he is still main
taining the search for the "two strange
men" seen near the Dansey home on
October 8, when the boy, whose body
was found In the Folsom swamp near
Hammonton, on November VI, disap
peared. '
"I have no desire to railroad White
or anybody else," he said. "Wc want
to get nnd convict the guilty persons."
