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

anil from the Jewelry counter took
a large amount of valuable jewelry

If Is quite evident that they wore

two or three hours. A balcony across

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.

ribly injured. He was unconscious

that death was caused by an Internal

of the Iliac artery. The report that
teached this city tn the etltect that

der the wheels, was erroneous. Cor

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.

the country's water transport. "They
