CROOK MADE SOUP TO BLOW HIS NOSE Four "Cracksmen" Keep Stolid Silence as Police Give Them the Third Degree. ACTIONS ARE SUSPICIOUS The four apparent cracksmen, who were arrested Monday night by Of ficer Charles Pipkin and Detectives Rooncy and Murphy, were all-suffering from "lockjaw" when interviewed in the private office of Chief of De tectives Maloney. No amount of ca joling or persuasion would lead any one of the quartet to reveal that he or his pals were croeks, or ever" saw each other before. Fred Martin, one of the number, admitted that he had made the "soup" or nitroglycerine, from dynamite that he stole in a Mis souri quarry. Retort Courteous. "What were you going touse it for?" inquired Chief Maloney. "To blow rriy nose," leering retorted Martin. The chief waved him back to his cage. The very fact that the men are taking the attitude of silence, in stead of attempting to clear the sus picion against them, is enough evi dence for the police that they are not greenhorns in the game. Officer Anton Francl looked them over this morning and took an extra look at Martin. Just what he learned from his observation will not be revealed at present, on advice of the chief. Big Gang Here? In substantiation of the theory that the four men taken are not the whole of the crew, which is believed to be an organization of considerable num bers, comes the report to headquar ters this morning that during the night cracksmen sawed their wav through the panels of two rear" doors into fc.mil lhompson s saloon at 1314 North Twenty-fourth street, blew the safe and made awav with $113. an $18 check, diamond ring and other jewelry. Detective Felix Dolan, who investigated the robbery, asserted that the safe door had been blown open with nitroglycerine after the ap proved fashion of yeggmen. Rugs and canvas were used to deaden the sound. Battle Without Aid Of Planes as Eighty Mile Wind Blowing With the French Army on the Som- me Front, Nov. 7. (Via Chantilly, From a Staff Correspondent of The Associated Press.) The battle today in the district between Saillisel and St. Pierre Va'ast wood'was fought with out the assistance of aeroplanes. The wind blowing eighty miles an hour prevented the planes from, ascending and consequently the artillery fire trom a hundred berman batteries jls well as from the French and British was uncontrolled aerially. Every inch ot the ibattle- ground was a danger spot and the correspondent of The Associated Press and other corre spondents were compelled to take shelter in a dugout. When the French infantVy attacked a powerfully defended series of trenches with trench mortars and grenades, they found a strong garrii son, which in one part surrendered in a body with their officers, more than 500 running at a racing pace into the trench lines and tor two nrtles and a half to the rear accompanied by only halt a dozen French guards. It was a strange sight when they ran -the gauntlet of the German barrage fire- at Vaast wood is more than two kilometers square with many positions enfilading each other and proved a most difficult problem for the French. But french infantry finally rushed the place and held it with slight .losses. The battle continued into the night. Paderewsk'i Not Enthused Over New Polish Kingdom Long Branch, N. J., Nov. 7.

Mellificia Casts Her First Vote And Feels that She is Emancipated By MELLIFICIA. Voting is no "pink-tea" or feminine sort of diversion. You can't stand around and gossip a wee bit with your neighbors or comment on Mrs. Jones' new bonnet. It's a strictly business-like affair and the election officials haven't got any time, to listen to your tale of leaving the breakfast dishes unwashed or who your hus band told you to vote for. I learned all this when I went to vote for the School board this morning. The city "ed." is to blame for my voting. If he hadn't sent me out to endless suff meetings, where I drank in all sorts of suffrage "dope" until 1 yelled "Votes for women" in my sleep, I wouldn't even have known that it was my "solemn duty" Jo vote for the school board, since these are the only candidates those selfish men permit women to vote. for. "I'm gonna vote for the School board," I announced solemnly to my family. Develops Fast. "How many children of school age havejou got? And how much prop erty do you own?" scoffed my young brother. You know, at times I am overcome with dismay at that young brother. How one of high school years can have developed into such a rabid anti is more than I can under stand. "I ignored the first question in my most dignified manner, but to think twice, nay several times, before I an swered the second. "You only need $50 worth of prop erty," I answered with the calm be gotten by superior political informa tion. "Well, where is your $50 worth?" queried that incorrigible youngster. I answered him not,Tut breezed (consult Hypodermic Needle for de rivation of that word) oxer to the" court house, into thetax assessor's office. Trembling in my knees, I stood at the counter. An office hireling came up to the counter, gave me the "once over," nothing rapidly, plain suit, plain hat, eyeglasses, determined mouth and seized me up in a minute. "H'm, suff," he sniffed under his breath. Ain't that strange? "Wanna vote for the school board," he barked. "Yes.' No Diamonds. "Gotanydiamonds, joolry, watch es " , "No, no, no," I shook my head. "Real estate, household furniture, library " "Hold on, I got some books." "Got $50 worth?" 'Jr "Yes." "Alright, sign here. That's all." "Don't I have to pay any taxes?" "Nope, not till next year." "And I can vote for the School board now?" "Yep." "And I don't have to do anything else? Lift up my right hand and swear? , And don't I have tc; tell how old 1 am, or nothing?" "Nope." "Awrtght. goodby." 1 walked out of the Douglas' county court house an emancipated woman. I could vote. Charles Evans Hughes will be no happier when the election returns come in than I was that moment. Yesterday morning I got up an hour earlier than usual, took extra pains with my hair, laid out a fresh shirt waist just to meet Mr. Ballot-Boxx. (Just between ourselves, 1 didn't rec ognize him when I met him. He wasn't a hit good-looking and he was standing in a dark corner in the poll ing place, so I stumbled over him). Men Hand Out Cards. On my wav to labor, I saw a lot of men handing out cards in front of a flat that had seen better days. I didn't think that was the place to vote, but a sign in front said it was. so in I went. The passage was dark and stifling, then I entered a small, crowded, gas-lighted room where the voting was going on. Actually 1 never saw so many men crowded to gether in so small a room. The election"' officials had their books all ready and one of them who got up too late to have any break fast was eating a sandwich. On two sides of the room were voting booths and I had to smother a giggle when I saw them. The men in voting looked so funny, like horses each in their own stall, or else like they had to eat off the shelf. (You mustn't tell I said this, now.) Borrows a Pencil. Anyway, a nice, gray-haired man made me swear that 1 had been over to the court house to file for that tax on my books that father gave me for a birthday present, then someone- else handed me a ballot and I went into a booth that didn't nave a pencil and had to conic back and borrow some nice man's fountain pen and go back and vote. It was during this proceeding that I stumbled over Mr. Ballot-Box. My, but he was an unassuming person for all the speeches that have been spoke about htm and all the things that have been written about him, too. I should think he would have the big head and be an ornamental, imposing-looking thing, but he wasn't. As I said before, there was no time to waste about that voting place be cause the room was too small and there were too many people in it, and the election officials were too busy, Ljo I heaved a sigh of relief, now that I had done my solemn duty, and reported to the boss about three min utes later than if I hadn't stopped to vote. . Doctors Will Cut Boy's Badness Out ' : " At the request and with the full consent of the parents.
