The local police working with the Norristown police have been fallow-ing out several clues In the hopes ot capturing the persons who robbed the home of William Little, on Tuesday morning last, when jewelry valued at about $1UU0 was stolen. Early this morning, Officers Ruth and Healcl went to Norristown with a search warrant to search Ohe house of Mrs. Jesse Brown, a colored woman who HI one time resided here and whose husband Is now serving a sentence in the Kast-ern penitentiary for robbery. The of-ficers mat Mrs. Brown on the street and she willingly accompanied them to her house and aided in the learoh, Nothing was found nor did the 0 find anything that would throw the 'east supic'.on on the woman. Every pawnshop in Philadelphia and Norristown has received a de script ion of the jewelry stolen and the police have visited the pawn stops of the city but have not found any of the loo i. The robbers in ransacking the I-it tie home instead of opening the Jewel boxes, wrenched each one apai straying the boxes. Their mettud Of * ik makes the police believe that the robbery was the work of ami, -uis who are familiar with the Little home and the habits of the family. A daring daylight robbery was per-petrated in West Conshahocken, on Wednesday morning when about 9 o'- clock, a masked man who had secret-ed himself In the homa of Jesse Fields, the well-know n milk man, at-tacked Mrs. Fields who was Ln the lions.- alone, gagged her, ransacked the house and departed taking with him a small amount of money after leaving her in an unconscious condit-ion. Mrs. Fields had gone to the stable early ln the morning to attend to some work and left the door of th.a house unlocked. She returned from the stable about 9 o'clock and just as she entered the door the telephone bell rang. Picking up the receiver, she talked to a customer who ordered some milk. She was standing with her back to the door leading to the parlor and upstairs rooms and before she had completed her conversation a man wearing a mask came up from behind and grabbed her. She dropped the receiver and grappled with the si raager but he finally got the best c-f her and tieing a damp tag over her mouth dragged her to the opposite side of the rorm leaving her lay there. The rag which the man bound around the woman was saturated with either ether or chloroform and she was ren-dered unconscious by the drug. Mrs. Fields lay in an unconscious condition lor a long time before Miss Clara Wallace, a neighbor, hapfiened to come in and discover her. Miss Wallace lilted Mrs. Fields to a couch and this arousc-d her. la a few min-utes ehe was able to describe what had happened. A search of the house revealed that the man had entered the upper apartments and had ransacked the bureau drawers and scattered the contents around the floor. Mrs. Fields does not know whether this was done r«lter she had been drugged or wheth-er the man had gone through the house while she was at the barn and finding that he would be detected when she came back, drugged her so that he could make his escai>c. The man was evidently in quest of money as the only thing missing was a small Easter barrel containing eighty cents and about a half cup full of pennies which he took from a clos-el a .d amounting to less than a dol-lar. Several pieces of jewelry which were in the upper rooms were not disturbed. Mrs. Fields says that she noticed a man loitering around under a large tree not far distant from her home about 7 o'clock on Wednesday morn-ing but she gave no attention to him believing that he was an employee of the Phillip's estate and had been sent there to repair the fence. She de scribed the man who attacked her as being about five feet five Inches in height and of a slender build. He had his face hidden by a mask ami did not wear a hat. She ia unable to tell in what dii-ctioa the man went when he left the house. < NOT FOR TEDDY HURLED OVER A DYNAMO An explosion evidently caustd by an accumulation of gas under the cement floor, tore up the engine room of the AutoCar Company at Ardmore at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It also threw Andrew Gallagher, an em-ploye, over the dynamo, cut him up u bit and injured Samuel Kyle, another worker. A consequent fire in the place was readily overcome.

The v liter voted for Abraham Lincoln in I Still anil def'llded his p~ll-ies by serving In the War of the Rebellion. JOHN PUOfl I insbehsoken, Fifth Month 8th, 1912. The effort to Becure a combined auto-chemical and hose carriage has been renewed with vigor by the mem-bers of the George Clay Fire Com-pany of West Conshohocken, and at the present time indications are that the time is not very far distant when this modern fire apparatus Will be ae-cured. Several months ago the member* of the Company started a fund with which to make the purchase and by dint of hard work and careful saving the fund has grown to the amount of nearly $3000. Councilman S. Gordon Smythe has become interested in the matter and will use his influence In having some of the wealthy residents of Ix>wer Merion to assist in securing the car-riage. With this modern fire fighting ma-chine the residents in Lower Merion would receive additional fire protec-tion and especially those living close to the borough line as the nearest companies in the township are locat-ed at Ardmore and Bryn Mawr, which Is a much farther distance than the George Clay Company. A number of serious fires have oc-curred in 1-ower Merion close to the West Borough In which considerable loss was suffered and in which much property could have been saved had the local company iiossessed modern fire aparatv.8. This is noticeably true in the case of the burning of the Inn-wood Sanitarium about eighteen months ago. The George Clay Fire Company, less than a half mile dis-tant WRS powerless to cope with the flames ami companies from this bor-ough and Bryn Mawr had to be se-cured. The time lost in bringing these com-panies allowed the fire to gain such headway that when they did arrive the building was beyond saving. Only recently a fire occuned at Mr. Smythe's place and it was due to the fact that it was in such a place that it was imiosible tor it to gain much, headway before the firemen could get to the scene that his home was not destroyed in the same manner as Inn-wood. The George Clay Company is al-ways on the alert when an alarm is turned in and answer the call with all possible speed but they are doubly handicapped; first in not possessing modern apparatus and secondly hav-ing such hard hills to contend with in dragging their antiquated machine to the Bcene of conflagration. The amount necessary to equip the company with the apparatus desired is about $8000 and it is hoped that with some support from the lx>wer Merion people, the additional $5000 will be forthcoming and the West Side lad-dies will be in a position to take their place in the front- ranks in carrying out their humane purpose of prevent-ing homeless families made so through the demon—fire. That the company is being backed by the residents of the West Borough ln its earnest endeavor to become a factor among other fire Companies is seen by the communication in the issue of the Recorder of -May 14th. CHARITY IN TWO BEQUESTS When the husband and brother of Mrs. Anna R. Myers, of Trapiie, shall die, the Young Woman's Christian As-sociation of Eighteenth and Race streets, Philadelphia, and the Atlan- Klc tit;, hospital will profit to the extent ol about $5000.

The local police working with the Norristown police have been fallow-ing out several clues In the hopes ot capturing the persons who robbed the home of William Little, on Tuesday morning last, when jewelry valued at about $1UU0 was stolen. Early this morning, Officers Ruth and Healcl went to Norristown with a search warrant to search Ohe house of Mrs. Jesse Brown, a colored woman who HI one time resided here and whose husband Is now serving a sentence in the Kast-ern penitentiary for robbery. The of-ficers mat Mrs. Brown on the street and she willingly accompanied them to her house and aided in the learoh, Nothing was found nor did the 0 find anything that would throw the 'east supic'.on on the woman. Every pawnshop in Philadelphia and Norristown has received a de script ion of the jewelry stolen and the police have visited the pawn stops of the city but have not found any of the loo i. The robbers in ransacking the I-it tie home instead of opening the Jewel boxes, wrenched each one apai straying the boxes. Their mettud Of * ik makes the police believe that the robbery was the work of ami, -uis who are familiar with the Little home and the habits of the family. A daring daylight robbery was per-petrated in West Conshahocken, on Wednesday morning when about 9 o'- clock, a masked man who had secret-ed himself In the homa of Jesse Fields, the well-know n milk man, at-tacked Mrs. Fields who was Ln the lions.- alone, gagged her, ransacked the house and departed taking with him a small amount of money after leaving her in an unconscious condit-ion. Mrs. Fields had gone to the stable early ln the morning to attend to some work and left the door of th.a house unlocked. She returned from the stable about 9 o'clock and just as she entered the door the telephone bell rang. Picking up the receiver, she talked to a customer who ordered some milk. She was standing with her back to the door leading to the parlor and upstairs rooms and before she had completed her conversation a man wearing a mask came up from behind and grabbed her. She dropped the receiver and grappled with the si raager but he finally got the best c-f her and tieing a damp tag over her mouth dragged her to the opposite side of the rorm leaving her lay there. The rag which the man bound around the woman was saturated with either ether or chloroform and she was ren-dered unconscious by the drug. Mrs. Fields lay in an unconscious condition lor a long time before Miss Clara Wallace, a neighbor, hapfiened to come in and discover her. Miss Wallace lilted Mrs. Fields to a couch and this arousc-d her. la a few min-utes ehe was able to describe what had happened. A search of the house revealed that the man had entered the upper apartments and had ransacked the bureau drawers and scattered the contents around the floor. Mrs. Fields does not know whether this was done r«lter she had been drugged or wheth-er the man had gone through the house while she was at the barn and finding that he would be detected when she came back, drugged her so that he could make his escai>c. The man was evidently in quest of money as the only thing missing was a small Easter barrel containing eighty cents and about a half cup full of pennies which he took from a clos-el a .d amounting to less than a dol-lar. Several pieces of jewelry which were in the upper rooms were not disturbed. Mrs. Fields says that she noticed a man loitering around under a large tree not far distant from her home about 7 o'clock on Wednesday morn-ing but she gave no attention to him believing that he was an employee of the Phillip's estate and had been sent there to repair the fence. She de scribed the man who attacked her as being about five feet five Inches in height and of a slender build. He had his face hidden by a mask ami did not wear a hat. She ia unable to tell in what dii-ctioa the man went when he left the house. < NOT FOR TEDDY HURLED OVER A DYNAMO An explosion evidently caustd by an accumulation of gas under the cement floor, tore up the engine room of the AutoCar Company at Ardmore at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It also threw Andrew Gallagher, an em-ploye, over the dynamo, cut him up u bit and injured Samuel Kyle, another worker. A consequent fire in the place was readily overcome. READ THE RECORDER, $1 a Year The Public Ledger Tuesday morning I tinted the following letter on the presidential political situation: To the Editor of the Public Ledger: Sir—Allow me to congratulate you on th' stand you hare taken on the pn -idential contest now going on.

The v liter voted for Abraham Lincoln in I Still anil def'llded his p~ll-ies by serving In the War of the Rebellion. JOHN PUOfl I insbehsoken, Fifth Month 8th, 1912. The effort to Becure a combined auto-chemical and hose carriage has been renewed with vigor by the mem-bers of the George Clay Fire Com-pany of West Conshohocken, and at the present time indications are that the time is not very far distant when this modern fire apparatus Will be ae-cured. Several months ago the member* of the Company started a fund with which to make the purchase and by dint of hard work and careful saving the fund has grown to the amount of nearly $3000. Councilman S. Gordon Smythe has become interested in the matter and will use his influence In having some of the wealthy residents of Ix>wer Merion to assist in securing the car-riage. With this modern fire fighting ma-chine the residents in Lower Merion would receive additional fire protec-tion and especially those living close to the borough line as the nearest companies in the township are locat-ed at Ardmore and Bryn Mawr, which Is a much farther distance than the George Clay Company. A number of serious fires have oc-curred in 1-ower Merion close to the West Borough In which considerable loss was suffered and in which much property could have been saved had the local company iiossessed modern fire aparatv.8. This is noticeably true in the case of the burning of the Inn-wood Sanitarium about eighteen months ago. The George Clay Fire Company, less than a half mile dis-tant WRS powerless to cope with the flames ami companies from this bor-ough and Bryn Mawr had to be se-cured. The time lost in bringing these com-panies allowed the fire to gain such headway that when they did arrive the building was beyond saving. Only recently a fire occuned at Mr. Smythe's place and it was due to the fact that it was in such a place that it was imiosible tor it to gain much, headway before the firemen could get to the scene that his home was not destroyed in the same manner as Inn-wood. The George Clay Company is al-ways on the alert when an alarm is turned in and answer the call with all possible speed but they are doubly handicapped; first in not possessing modern apparatus and secondly hav-ing such hard hills to contend with in dragging their antiquated machine to the Bcene of conflagration. The amount necessary to equip the company with the apparatus desired is about $8000 and it is hoped that with some support from the lx>wer Merion people, the additional $5000 will be forthcoming and the West Side lad-dies will be in a position to take their place in the front- ranks in carrying out their humane purpose of prevent-ing homeless families made so through the demon—fire. That the company is being backed by the residents of the West Borough ln its earnest endeavor to become a factor among other fire Companies is seen by the communication in the issue of the Recorder of -May 14th.
