Two women last night captured and delivered over to the police an alleged woman burglar for whom they bad been hiding in the flat of C. Leonard, 20 Twelfth street north, for more than a week. Miss Emma Murphy, who told the police she wag a stenographer, is the prisoner. Miss Minnie Lewis and Miss Ada Snell were the two women who caught, Miss Murphy. According to the story told to the police by Miss Lewis and Miss Murphy, tho latter roomed at the Leonard flat until a month ago.

She retained her pass key when abe went to room elsewhere. MifS Murphy said that a week ago she went to the, flat, in the absence of th Leonards, opened the front door and took a gold watch and chain and 73 cents in cash. She pawned tho watch and chain. Miss lewis, who hal been left in charge of the flat when the Leonards left the city two weeks ago, visited the flat after the burglary and found the watch missing. Then it was, she told the police, she called in her friend, Miss tnell, and the two decided to watch the flat.

Women Itlde in Boom. Last night, nhortly arter 7 o'clock, they were seated in the middle room of the flat, behind some heavy curtains. They heard the front door open and heard footstepa in the reception ball. They waited behind the curtains. The footsteps approached them.

At a signal both dashed through the curtains and jumped upon the intruder. Bark-ward and forward, over the carpt, the three women fought. Miss Murphy scratched and bit and screamed, according to Miss Lewis. When, they had ovrpowerd her they telephoned to police headquarters. i)etective Faltieo went to the flat and arrested Miss Murphy.

Miss Murphy refused to tell where she lived or why she had stolen the articles, and was reticent as to her relatives or business. Bhe is a well dressed young woman, and for more than two hours last night sobbed on in the matron's room that she wished the had returned the watch and money.

That picture, it is said, is "entitled "StTTauf Seated at a Writing Table and Meditating." The painting was secured by Mr. Gates after M. D. Borden had declared it as again doubtful. Another Canvas Is Doubted.

The preceding number in this same work by Rerabrar.dt is entitled "St. Paul Seated at a Writing Table." This canvas is in the imperial gallery at Vienna, Doubts have asRailed it too. Dr. Bode, the greatest living authority on Rembrandt, writes in de-scribing the canvas: "The authenticity of this picture is erroneously called in question by Mechlin and Edward En-gerth. Etched by Unger for the imperial gallery of Vienna, the pieture is known to have been the imperial collection since 1S78 and is mentioned in the inventory of the Castle of Prague." Canvas In Many Hands.

The canvas in the Dates collection has passed through several collections, never remaining for any length of time, it would seem, in any of them. It was firnt noticed in the collection of the Duke of Somerset. Agnew and sons, London, owned it in 1800; Sir harles Robinson, London, in 1892; Charles Hedelmeyer, dealer, Paris, in 1894; and then M.

Washington. May 12. The current week will have a tre mendous bearing upon the Ke-j publican pre-convention presi- dential campaign, as about 200! delegates to the Chicago conven- tion arc to be chosen. After that about IOO delegates will re main to be chosen, including 48 -v- trom Ohio and 24 from New Jer sev. The Reuubl ican national 1 committee will meet June 6 and will take up at that time contests involving the seats of at least 164 delegates.

Number Selected Thus Far. Up to yesterday, 780 ufLlhe 1,078 delegates to Chicago had been chosen, according to Roosevelt estimates, while the Taft forces recorded 20 less. The differences arose over Maryland, where the Taft managers declared the control of 16 delegates would not be cleared until the state convention next Tuesday; and Kansas, where the Roosevelt records -showed 14 had been chosen, and the Taft records 10. Each Side Concedes Some. Representative McKinley, head of the Taft campaign, claimed 483 delegates i tor tne presiaent anil conceoea to Colonel Roosevelt.

Senator Dixon, manager of the Roosevelt committee, claimed 310 for Roosevelt and conceded 143 to Taft. The Koosevelt managers contended that 114 delegates were uninstructed, including 8. from New Vork, and de-dared that Hit were contested. Both tampaign committees, in their tables, gave Senator I.a Follette illi delegates and Senator Cummins 10. Preparations for the two-week battle at Chicago over the seating of contested delegations are being completed by the attorneys for both factions.

While only few contests have been filed thus far with the national committee, the managers and the attornev will be ready with all of the cases by May 'J9, the date on which the papers must be before the committee.

The managers at the Taft headquarters call attention in a statement issued relative to the standing of President Taft and Colonel Hoosevelt, among the judges and lawyers of Washington, ns follows: What the lawyers of the country, including some of the judges of its highest courts, think of President William II.

Tji ft, embodiment of law enforcement, and of Theodore Hoosevelt. embodiment of destruction and even of violation of all law, was made manifest in the national capital today in a poll taken at. the annual shad bake given by the bar association of the District of Columbia to the judges of the courts holding in the city of Washington.

"Included in the persons voting in the poll of the lawyers were members of tho supreme court of the I'nited States, of the Court of appeals of the District of Columbia, of the court of claims of the United States, and of all the local courts from tho supreme court of the District of Columbia down to the police courts.

'Action Would Mean Struggle Lasting for Many Years.

Some People Believe Diaz Could Bring About Peace. (Syrtil to Th un6tj Trtbnn.) Br SODEBICK CLITFOHD, Washington, May 12. Intervention in Mexico by the United States, although it has been strongly advocated by men prominent in official circles in AVashirigton, has received a setback, if the tone of gossip at the Whit? House, and the reported conversations of secretaries of different departments may be accepted as criteria. In fact, it can be safely stated that the president will not jeopardize American lives, American interests, or plunge the country into the throes of perhaps a long war in order that political capital may be derived from the event. It is pointed out that the Mexican government is doing all in its power to protect foreigners, especially Americans, and that -ihose-who have suffered punishment have been captured in war by either federals or rebels.

Government Well Disposed. Speaking on this subject, Brig-Gen. Anson Mills, U. S. retired, a member of the Mexican boundary commission, who has seen a great deal of service in Mexico and knows the Mexican people almost as well as he does the American, is strongly against intervention.

Gen. Mills hat stronjrry advocated TiTnrrinl of "lettincr tha Mexicans fight tt ont," taking the ground that this wa the principle during the civil war, when England and other foreign countries ware plainly and bluntly told that the United States would not brook Interference. From the army standpoint, many of tha "swivel chair artists" of the war department look upon intervention with terror. Othera, especially tha younger element, want action. They aay it will mean advancement in the service and will be a meana of testing the efficiency of the army aa it is constituted to- iay; Meana Prolonged Struggle.

But incidentally it will mean a prolonged war, such as Italy is engaged upon at preeent with Turkey in Tripoli. Experts have stated that this war will cost Italy hundreds of millions of dollars and last for years. According to some of the general staff officers Americans in Mexico are not in daager. There never was a time, they unite in saying, when the rights of Americana were given more consideration in like conditions than thiy are at the present time in Mexico. While talk of intervention is going on in the I'nited States, Americans, it is said, are being given a thousand times more protection than the Mexicans themselves.

In many instances, records show, Americans imprisoned for crimes have been let out of jail simply because they were Amorieaus. Accused of Laxity. On the other hand, the more radical elements in both the army and uavy accuse high government officials of laxity in treating with Mexico. They Mate that the. United States has virtually told Americana in Mexico that this government can offer them no protection and that they must shift for themselves.

That Germany or England would not permit their citizens to be ruthlessly hanged or executed without "starting something" is the general opinion. The radicals declare that the time has now come when tho United States must show the rest of the nations of the world that it will not permit the festering cancer to thrive on its flanks and that the Monroe doctrine is something more than merely an academic theory. In' Cuba fairly decent conditions obtain through the medium of American occupation and surveillance ami these measures are urged for tho control of Mexico, or, if they do not servo to bring about tho desired ends, conquest and annexation. Still others, who realize the enormity of such an undertaking, ask, "Why loesn't Mexico recall her famous ''Grand Old Man' Diazf" Diaz, it is felt, would be able in a year or two to restore the old conditions, bring about harmony among the distracted elements and bind together once more the factions of the country who are now at pdds.
