I Joe Becomes Mister Finds Suitcases Gone Expecting a tip, the boy was disappointed. Johnstone stayed in the room long enough to fill two suitcases and a lawyers bag and then left.

Coming downstairs, two boys took the suitcases from him and escorted him to the street. Want a taxi? said one boy, and Johnstone said No, thanks, I'm just going to jump into the cafe around the corner and have a mouthful. Mr Thompson returned to the hotel after a performance at a theatre, and to his great surprise, he found his two suitcases gone, his bag, which he described something like an attorney carries, -ind all of his test clothes, which included his underwear and stJk shirts, to the value of about $500. He lost no time in reporting the theft to the clerk, who remembered hat shortly before a bell boy let a man In the room, who said he wanted to see Thompson.

"I have a hunch, said Thompson, and down to the iiouth Station he went. I dont know why I went there, he said to the Globe reporter, "but I went there anyway. I looked around the station.

There were not many at the depot. I looked into the waiting room and there sitting in a was Johnstone with my two suitcases and bag at his feet. had no trouble at all identifying my suitcases, for one of them is different from any 1 ever saw aside from the fact that it is covered with hotel tags.

San Franctsoo Because of the high cost of operation the steamer Bay State, which arrived at Providence today from Norfolk, will be placed out of commission. Her crew will be discharged and the vessel will lay up indefinitely. For more 20 years the Bay State has been engaged in transporting coal from Hampton Roads to New England cities, and according to her owners, C.

H. Sprague Son of this city, it is the first time during that period that the vessel has been operated at a loss. With freights $2 a ton for moving coal the earnings of the vessel do not equal the expenditures. Under pre-war conditions, when the steamer was receiving only 65 cents a ton for carrying fuel from Newport News and Norfolk, there was a margin of profit for the owners, but at present there is a deficit at the end of every trip. This is due, according to the owners, to the increase in the wages of the crew and the additional burdens that have been imposed.

For example, when the vessel is in port it is necessary to have a night engineer and a deck mate on duty every night, at an expense of $11.60 per night for each man. The Bay State will probably be sent here to lay up. IRISH LEAGUE TO ALLY WITH LABOR PARTY That It May Use Its Vote and Influence LONDON. Dec 6 The United Irish League of Great Britain has issued a manifesto, announcing its decision to ally itself with the British Labor party in order that it may use its vote and influence against those responsible for Irish oppression. Caught by New Policeman Then policeman Tracey told his story of the arrest and the escape of Johnstone when he was within a few yards of the LaGrange-st Station.

Said Tracey, "Mr Thompson rode back to the hotel with his property. I took Johnstone up to Station 4. He walked along all right. He had an expensive fur coat on. Just as we got nearly opposite the wagon house, Johnstone threw up one arm and got out of the coat.

I picked it up and yelled Stop the thief and thrw the fur coat at a policeman wno was just opening the door of the station house and chased Johnstone. Here Sergt McDonald called for new policeman Fred H. Lyle to tell his part of the story. Lyle said I heard the yell Stop thief. 1 saw a fur coat being thrown into the doorway of the station house.

1 jumped from the patrol wagon which had just returned from a call, chased Johnstone, who could run like a deer, tripped him up by catching him in tackle style on the lower legs. I went down, and got kicked in the eye 'by the heel of Johnstones boot. My watcli was smashed and I received a bad bruise on one of my elbows and knee, but held onto my prisoner. Assistance was present immediately. The fact that the hotel where the lar-; ceny was committed was on Division 5 territory, the prisoner was turned over that division for prosecution.

PARIS, Dec 6, (by A. With bowed head and with face of infinite sadness, a 'modestly dressed old lady was seen walking through the Tuileries Gardens today. As she walked, she would stop to pick Autumn flowers, seared and blasted by the cold, but no more faded than her cheeks. Passerkby, seeing her and knowing the regulations of the park, expected some policeman to admonish her, but she passed on, followed by a single maid, unchecked by the uniformed representative of the law. It was the once-proud Empress Eugenie who, bowed beneath the weight of 93 Winters, thus plucked withered flowers from a garden that, was once hers.

She was revisiting a scene poign antly recalling all the happiness, sor7 row and terror which came to her during the years she was the chiefest jewel of the old palatial mansion. Empress Eugenie left France on Julv 23, the fateful day when the then proud and haughty Austria sent an ultimatum to Serbia which was destined to dismember realms and change the whole face of history. She is in close seclusion in her apartments, refusing to meet any newspaper men and seeing only a few of her old friends. NEWSPAPER MEN WILL TOUR CANADA Latter Wishes To Be Better Known to British Through trains between Dudley st and the South Station, via the Washington-fit Tunnel and the Atlantic-av loop of the Elevated, were resumed today. Supt of Transportation Smith of the Elevated, who was on the job from the moment the Atlantic-av service was resumed at 6:34 this morning, when the first train pulled out of the North Station for the South Station, reported that everything ran with remarkable smoothness, except for a slight delay in the operation of the very first train, und that was due to a broken connection.

Tiie Atlantic-av service will mean that through trains will be run from Dudley st to the South Station, via the Washington-st Tunnel. The first will leave tiie North Station for the South Station at 6:34 a ra and will immediately leturn over the same route and through the Tunnel to Dudley st. The through trains will begin operating from Dud-let st to the South Station at 5:32 a und will run every eight minutes during the rush hours and the normal service will be maintained on 10-minute headway. The last train at night will leave Dudley st at 12:04 a and will pass through the Tunnel and around the loop to the South Station, arriving there at 12:24. This train will continue right along Atlantic av and Reach st to the A ash-ington-st structure and back to Dudley st.

it will be the only train during that clay that will proceed around the loop and the reason for this is that if it should be turned back at the South Station and retrace its course much valuable time would be lost without benefiting the patrons, as the last train through the Tunnel for Dudley st and Forest Hilts would Just precede it. lie was enthusiastic over the fact that this was the first day on which a "clean sheet was returned to the main office, meaning that during the past 19 hours of operation of tilie Washington-St Tunnel there was not a single instance of delay in the tube or on the Charlestown bridge. As a matter of fact, said he with considerable pride, we have succeeded in eliminating 70 -percent of the delays during the pash two months, and we hope to do ecn better, for we are keeping right after that phase of the service. One feature of the Atlantic-av service that must not be lost sight of by patrons la that there will be no through trains operated on Sundays or holidays. On thorn days the old shuttle system between thi two stations will he used.

Transfer privileges under the restored system will remain the same as always. The resumption on the Atlantic-av loop will not seriously affect the operating of trains through the Tunnel. They will be run under a 2Vz-niinute headway (luring the normal hours und two-minute time in rush hours. It will, however, slightly affect the running to Sullivan 8i, as one train every eight minutes in ill be taken oft the Charlestown route, leaving three, instead of four trains every eight minutes to Sullivan sq. The new arrangement does not interfere with the Everett schedules whatsoever.
