It i, evident that the Ilreier store in the first entered. The burglars. I, appear, first tried to force the Lr and failing ln ,nls went in tnru the window. They took some hats, id a .mall amount. of money, from the cash drawer and a few other minor articles. It is impossible to obtain a complete list of the stolen article, a. the store has no way of checking up their goods. It Is be liered that they took a leather suit cue from each establishment. At Wilde- and Agee's they appro priated two suits, and several pairs of trousers several silk shirts shoes and numerous other articles. From the cash register they appropriated IS 50, a colts .38 calibre revolver, anil from the Jewelry counter took a large amount of valuable jewelry In the form of scarf pins, cuBf links il such articles. If Is quite evident that they wore in the Wilder and Agee store for two or three hours. A balcony across the Jackson street end of the store contain, a'l the pnnphenllia for the making df alterations to garments.

Rc-ans or ctotn ihow wh re th y shortened the trous. en and tilted them with cuffs, and made other alterations, affter which they evidently proceeded to press out their new suits quite carefully. It Is practically certain that there were two men working on the deal. It Is also thought that it Is the work of hohoes as a large number of the transient, came to the city last night and made their way Into the uptown district before they were apprehend ed by the police. It is thought that all of them were turned back but it Is nrohable that the two eluded the officers and remained ln hiding nnill shortly after midnight It Is also certain that the entrance was not mide until after midnight, as the watchman made a trip through the alley at about that time and Ifound the shutters on all the buildings to he closed and locked. From the elzs of the garmnts stol en It . believed that one of the rob bers was a man of medium stature while the other was a boy. probably about 15 or 16 yars old. The latter took a coat for a hoy and discarded the knlckerbocker trousers, taking a Pair of long trousers instead. Officers all over . the state have keen notified df the robbery, and have been warned to watch for the two thieves. One Thief ! CatJSht 'At about nine o'clock thta tnnrn.

GIVE CIRCUMSTANCES Account of First Hold-up Is Given Yankee Relief Worker Was United Ills Pleadings Suved the Women. (Hy Associated Proesl CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 4. nobber bands of Chetes, who have for moulhs made travel in Syria un safe and have held up American re lief workers twice within ten dayi, arc operating under the orders of Turkish nationalists and of the Arab government, according to informa tion received by Dr.. R. A. Lambert, director of the Near East relief ac tivities al Aleppo. Dr. Lambert says he has received affidavits to support this charge. He believes it was one of these bands that lust February murdered two American Young Men's Christian Association secre taries near Aintab. The circumstances which led to these conclusions are described by Near East Relief agents as follows: The first holdup of Americans oc curred in June when two motor trucks In charge of John O. Brian, a relief worker, thnt were carrying 13 Armenians, was halted between Ain tab and Killls. Though Brian and all American property were not molest ed. the Armenian men and all of their baggage were taken off before the truck were allowed to pro ceed.' Only Brian s repeated plena ing saved the women from a similar fate. The convoy continued us way to Aleppo after Ihe men wete re moved. While relief officials were negotiating for release of the Armen ians, the prisoners were nagmy -sei free by orders of the Arab authori ties at Aleppo. Meeting the leader of the bandits In Aleppo later, Brian found him wearing Ihe uniform of an officer of the armv of Prince Beisal. who was (decled king of Syria. The Cheles mnressed to Brian a feeling of firm friendship for the Americans and the British but a bitter hatred of the French and Armenians. On making the same trip a little more than a week later, Brian was ne.-iin stunned, this time on iuraisn territory, by Chetes under the com mand of a young -lurKisn ouicer, who nnerllv refused to believe Brian's statement that he was an American and compelled him to walk for more than three hours to the headquarters of the commander of the Turkish nationalist forces ln that i-opton. This officer apologized for the de lay that his men had caused Brian, .wiarinr Ii was necessary, however. iM'catiso the French had used Amerl- mn flats on their ammunition trucKS. Miother officer that Brian talked to wanted to know why the Americans did not drive the French out of the cenntrv. He said the Turks let the French come In because of President Wilson's assurances and complained that the president had forgotten all about them. e Mrs. W.

Unions " of laborers connected with port ac- -livitles ln Bueuoa Aires and other purls of Argentina have Imposed up- " un exporters "their own private ex port lux" as a means fl maintaining extensive boycotts now in force against exporters and shipping com panies, according to a complaint made by packing bouse establish ments here to Minister of Finance.- ' Sulaberry. At the present time more than 1U0 exporting firms are under boycott, in addition to the powerful Mihanovich company, owner of most of the river aud coastwise shipping of the country. A committee representing meat and hide exporters told the finance minister that the dock laborers were refusing to load their overseas ship ments unless the shipper maae a contribution toward the support of the union of 7 for each 200 bales or wool aud 13 60 for each 100 casks of tallow and like products. The. delegation pointed out that these contributions could be called oxUaofflclal export duties," and that some of them have been de- v nianded since last May. It was stated thai before any shipment can be made, application must be made to the labor union official ana tnai several days often elapse before the requisite "authority" la auowea ror embarking. The minister wa told that In some cases the unions have demanded to aee - the exporter' books ln order to make sure that none of Ihe Droduce to be exported came froau any firm under boycotts - A list of 106 exporters under boy-,. cott was submitted to. th govern ment and it wa pointed -out that , while there are more than 204,000, 000 pound of unsold wool ln the country and more than 1,000,000 hides, most of the leading exporter of these products, whose services are needed In relieving the Congeestion, are not allowed to do business on account of boycotts. , ' The boycott of the Mihanovich company has held over 200 vessels in. port forjaax months. Effort of tho government to settle the differences , between the company andsabe work ers have not w met with success. Meantime the losses to domestic commerce have been enornioua Speaking ln the chamber ot jpu ties, a representative from Uie province of Entre Hlos, largely de-' pendent upon river transportation, declared that the apparent object of the workerB was to obtain control of the country's water transport. "They publicly announce," ho Bald, "that the boycott Is not a strike over wage . or hours of labor. They talk aboul the social movement, especially that" in Germany, and applaud the one that has laken place In Russia, de claring that the maritime strike has nothing less for Us object than the socialization of Ihe transport ser vices." During the months of the boycott the Mihanovich company has been able to return to service a few of Its boats hy transferring them to the Uruguayan or Paraguayan flags. Several cases of violence against tha members of the crews of the vessels so changed have been reported. It Is said that among the damages in curred has been the loss(of a large -part of the orange crop from the region along the Parana river. LOCAL NEWS.
