Nearly twoscoro of patrolmen from
both stations formed a cordon nbout tho
section from Spruce to Pine. Fifteenth
to Sixteenth street. Thn siege began
at 2:30 and lasted until 5:30 o'clock.
Dog Gives Ahum
"Teddy," n sheep dog, gave the
alarm when thc two robbers entered
the residence of Warren C. Graham,
former United States attorney, at 348
South Fifteenth street. The dog be
longs to Francis J. Murphy, a real
estate man, who has an apartment in
the rcflldcnce.
The dog's barking awakened Mrs.
Florence Murnliv. who Is twenty-four
years old. She aroused her husband nnd
told him she had heard a suspicious
noise. Ho thought nothing of it and
did not get up. The dog barlced again.
Husband and wife were aroused a sec
ond time, and Murphy jumped out of
bed. He saw a man just entering thc
second-story window of their apart
ment. Tho intruder's form was sil
houetted against the window and Mur
phy sprang at him.
"Get back," tho robber ordered In
a sharp whisper, "get back, or we'll
settle you mighty quick."
Murphy was unarmed, but he made
a quick reach as though to draw a gun.
The burglar dropped .back from the
window.
Woman Calls Help
Mrs. Murphy meanwhile had picked
up tho telephone and was quietly calling
the Twelftb nnd Pino streets station.
She told Lieutenant Fenn burglars
were trying to enter thc house.
Miss Laura Graham, Mr. Graham's
sister, also had heard the dog and the
burglars, and she, too, telephoned, call
ing thc Fifteenth and Locust streets
station. Details of men were rushed
over from both station, houses, -
Murphy ran to a rear alley und
watched It until the arrival of tho po
lice. He was joined by John Lavery,
127 South Hicks street, a park guard.
A quick counsel was held by patrol
men of each district and men were
thrown ubout thc neighborhood. Every
avenue of escape wns cut off.
About 3 o'clockJohii8on wns seen
crawling out of the cellar window of
the homo of Dr. Charles Mitchell, 332
South Fifteenth street, tho police say.
He rnn down Fifteenth street directly
Into thc arms of three pntrolmcu.
Police drew thc Hhcb of their net
tighter when they heard footsteps on
the roof of thc Mitchell house. Several
patrolmen quickly climbed there. Brown
saw them and dodged behind n chimney.
Thug Threatens to Shoot
"Don't come too near," he shouted
through the darkness, "or I'll drop you
to the street." Groping their way
carefully from chimney to chimney the
police followed the direction of thc
sound.
For more than half a block from
chimney to chimney tho chaso ran.
Finally Brown tried to escape from
the roofs by climbing down into the
open window of a house at 321 South
liicks street. He lowered himself from
the roof ledge, reaching out in the dark
ness until his foot struck tho ton of n
shutter. He was about to let go bis
hold and swing into tho room when Pa
trolmen Denu nnd Morfield rushed up
and seized his arms, pinning him fast.
"You've got me, said Brown.
You're right we have," replied Dean.
They dragged him back to the roof nnd
took him down to the street.

RHINELANDER ASKS
VOICE FOR WOMEN
Bishop Urgos Episcopalians to
Grant Equality in Church
Affairs
DIOCESE
MEETING ON
o
Bishop Bhinclander urged that women
ho ndmitted to the councils of the
church, in his annual address this aft
ernoon before the 137th annual conven
tion of thc Protestant Episcopal dio
cese of Pennsylvania.
The convention opened this morning
In the Church of St. Luke and tho
Epiplmny, Thirteenth street below
Spruce, nnd will continue through to
morrow. Several hundred clerical nnd
lay delegates attended.
The nuestion of admitting women as
convention delegate on the same terms
or men, sanctioned in a resolution nt
tho Lambeth convention, is one of the
main topics before the meeting. The
bishop's address, in which he warmly
championed the women, preceded the
report of the committee to vilrh the
women's "auto was entrusted nt the an
nual convention n j-enr ago.
Bishop Ithlhelonder prefaced his plea
for the women by praise of the work
which individual members of the sox
have done for the Pennsylvania diocese.
Praises Work of Women
"Thc'work of the women for nnd in
the diocese," he snld. "has progressed
by leaps' and bounds.
"God bless our women!" he contin
ued. "You will recall a memorable
resolution passed with prartlcal una
nimity hj the Lambeth conference last
oiimmer to the effect that 'women should
be admitted to those councils of thc
church to which laymen are admitted,
and on eipinl terms.' Surely, if th?re
is any diocese in which this principle
should bo more generously welcomed
nnd applied thnn elsewhere, It is here
"I am persuaded ti that it Is en"
tlrely equitable and will provt prolltnbla
to the church. True judgment of spir
itual values, zeal, intelligence, cour
age nnd devotion to thc cause of Christ ;
these should be the outstanding marks
of nil thoxe admitted to the church's
councils.
"I hnve not noticed that men hnvo
nny monopolj of these precious gifts.
I know women do most of the church's
work. I believe the men will be helped
and not hindered, stimulated and not
discouraged, moved to generous rivalry
and not lulled to somnolent indiffer
ence, by the presence of women ns their
feljnw counsellors.
"It will be u graceful and grate
ful acknowledgment of the immense
debt we owe to our women for their
recent diocesan activities if we pais
through its llru stages at this con
vention the legislation required for put
ting into local application the Lambeth
principle."
x In beginning his address the bishop
said that 70 of the 200 congregations
In the diocese hnd shown notable gains
in the last jear. Forty, he said, re
ported normal growth, and about 10
have been nt n standstill. In a few
Instances, he said, "statistics, at least,
will (.how a los."

The serretnrv ot the same time urged
the German Government to make fur

governments. He also expressed again
the earnest desire of tho American Gov
ernment for .1 prompt settlement of
"this vital question."
In urging Germany to make at once
"directly to thc allied government"
adequate proposals on reparations, the
American Government was believed by
the allied diplomats here to have defi
nitely closed the reparations Incident
so far as the t'nltcd States was con
cerned. No Word From Supreme Council
Administration officials declined to
daj to comment on the communication,
saylrg that It spoke for itself. Nor
would they indicate rhe considerations
which caused Its dispatch somewhat tin
ixpeetedly at a late hour lat night. It
was stated, however, that action was
taken without any communication hav
ing been received from the allied Su
ireme Council nt London.
The State Department has been kept
informed as to events in the Supreme
Council, and It hid become evident Mint
the German proposals were unacceptable
as a basis for discussion. That view
bad been taken by France nnd Belgium
from the flirt.
The Pnitcd Stutcs apparently has
not jet given up hope ihnt n final set
tlement will be reached bj discussion,
thus avoiding coercive measures, which,
lu the iiew here, would l,e likely to be
attemi'd by economii' confiixion. Offi.
