Teaceful Sanders street was the scene yesterday of one of the most daring day light robberies in the year's police record. The home of Ernest Vehling, 627 Sanders street, was entered and ransacked by an eighteen-year-old boy while the women of the neighborhood watched him at his work. DUberately, this boy a-arched drawers, closets and sideboard for booty, then with drawn revolver left the house and hur ried away. The Vfchlin? family la In St. Louis. Yes terday morning the boy rode up to the house on & bicycle, dismounted and walked onto the veranda. He rang the door bell and received no response. The boy's coat pockets contained paper and the neigh bors thought him to be a collector. Sev eral times he -walked around the house and tried each door. "They are not at home. They are In St- Louis," called Mrs. Ida Dauke, a neighbor of the Vehllng's, to the boy. "Thank you," he answered politely, lift ing his cap. He mounted his wheel and rode away and the Incident was forgotten. In the after noon the same boy rode up to the Vehllng house, left his wheel at the curb and walked to the front door. Several of the women of the neighborhood saw him and reminded him that the Vehlings were In St. Louis. The mysterious routh walked around the hou?e and tried the doors. The women watched and wondered. Their wonder grew when they saw him reach Into his pocket and bring out his knife. He turned and looked at the women a moment and again gave his attention to the door. With the knife he broke a corner from the glass in the door and reached through the hole and unlocked the door. The key was on the Inside. He opened the door and be gan his totir of the house. Mrs. Dauke and Mrs. Ellen Kuhlman, of C02 Sanders street, walked to the front gate of the Vehling' homo and waited and watched. Other women of the neighborhood Joined them. They beckoned to Frank Unversaw, of 413 Downey street, who was passing. He stopped and inquired as to the cause of the excitement. The excited women gathered around him and told of the break ing of the glass door and of the boy on the inside of the house. "We'll investigate," said TJnversaw, as suringly. Followed by several of the women TJnversaw walked to the side of the house and looked. The boy saw him and approached the window. TOLD THEM TO "GO 'WAY RACK." "What do you want?" asked the boy, as he raised the window. "What are you doing here?" asked one of the women, as she looked through the window and saw drawers that had been emptied of their contents. The boy did not reply but reached into his hip pocket and produced a revolver. "Now, the whole gang of you go 'way back," he said In commanding tone. Un versaw and the women backed away and a moment later saw a pair of legs coming from the window. A revolver with a boy behind was next. "Go on. Go 'way back," again he com manded. Most of tho women fled, while TJnversaw hacked away from the weapon, knowing that he was takinsr desperate chances with one so daring as this daylight burglar. The boy with the revolver kept It raised until he got well away from the house and then ran across a common and disappeared. He left the wheel at the curb. A telephone message was stnt to the police station and Biryclemen Simon and Morgan hurried to Sand r.i tret. The crowd had grown by this tlm. ard the score of women retarded the poM' - Each woman had a different tale to tell and when the story was put together piece meal the youthful burjrlar had a good lead on the police. The wheel was taken to the police station and there identified as one that was stolen from Frank Waleott. of ?2 West New York street, seveiM months ago. The police entered the Vehllnff home and found every room in a state of topsy-turvy. A baby's bank had been broken open and the contents taken. The Vehlings have been sent for and their loss cannot be ligured until their return. A MALE SHOPLIFTER. Clarenco Hill Slakes a Confession After His Arrest.

He Lire! Many Years in Union Comity und Was Prominent in Repub lican Politics. Richard M. Haworth, formerly a resident of Union county, died at his home, S09 Woodlawn avenue, Sunday morning after a lingering illness resulting from the In firmities of age. At the time of his death he was over eighty. On account of failing health he and Ins wife came to Indianapolis less than a year ago to reside with their daughter, Mrs. W. F. Johnson. Mr. Ha worth was a prominent Republican in southeastern Indiana politics during and after the civil war period. He served as recruiting officer under Governor Morton for Union county and came in contact with and was a close personal friend of Indi ana's famous war Governor.

All his life he was a great reader of newspapers and displayed a keen interest in public questions and the men of State anl national affairs, keeping in touch with the politics of his district and State, in which he was once a zealous, though unassuming, factor.

CINCINNATI'S ORCHESTRA IT C;iVES A CONCERT IWDER FRANK VAX IJER STLCKEX'S DIRECTIOX. A Violin Solo by Joe Marlon ami One boiiK hy Mim IJessie Tndnr-5ome Unfortunate Delays. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra played last night in Tomllnson Hall under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. before an immense audience. The orchestra Is under the direction of Frank Van der Stucken, and is one of the four greatest organiza tions of its kind in America. Owinc to the late arrival of the orchestra, the audi ence was kept in waiting until 8:15 o'clock. Even after the members of the orchestra did appear on the stage the audience had another long wait owing to Mr. Van der Stucken's delay in receiving his trunk, which contained Iiis evening dress. When Mr. Van der Stucken was ready to appear there was another delay, occasioned by the lights over the stage going out. The programme was unconventional in its arrangement, inasmuch as it opened with a symphony and closed with an overture. The symphony iz one known as the "Le- nore," and is by Raff. It Is based on a poem by Gottfried August Herger, which is reprcsenteu in three movements of the symphony. The first represents "Love's Longing," the second "Happy Possession" and the third a "March." The story is of Lenore awakening in the morning from an oppressive dream. She had received no word from her lover, William, who had been with Frederick's army at Prague. Her heart was saddening, and the llrst movement is supposed to express psycho logically the doubt in her mind, as she knows not whether he is faithless or has met death. She looks out on the return ing triumphal soldiers, but he is not among them. "To earth herself prostrated Lenore, the poor, ill-fated." Her mother attempts to comfort her as: "Child, what if false thy lover be, and far off in Hungary, have formed a new alliance?" The orchestra well expressed the wild desperation by its sweeping rythm, which is followed by her appeal: "O mother, mother! gone is gone and lost is lost forever. Death, death is my reward alone." The ghost of the lover returns to her at night, and in the orchestra is heard his knock at the door of Lenore's home. He takes her on his horse and they fly through, a wild, weird night, through dark woods and fields and over hills to the graveyard wherein rests his earthly self. This is expressed in the or chestra by weird, minor tones. Mr. Van der Stucken in the rendering of this work showed a close and careful study in the minute expression of every emotion set forth in the poem. Of all the move ments in the symphony the march Is the most popular for it is often rendered alone. It 13 liked by artist and layman alike. It Is written in the style of Frederick the Great, who wrote many things himself, all of which have a martial character. Miss Bessie Tudor, the vocalist of the evening, sang an aria from "Eli." "1 Will Extol Thee," by Costa. Miss Tudor is a young woman of fine stage appearance and presence. In her work she indicates both intelligence and culture and her voice has great power. Her work was appreciated by the audience, which was hearty in a recall, but through fatigue of travel she was un able to respond. It was impossible for her to give her second number on the pro gramme. The next number was a well-known com position, "Idylle," by Mr. Van der Stucken himself, which is b:autiful in Its instru mentation and lacks a quality so common to present-day composers. Inasmuch as it does not suggest something that one has heard before. Mr. Marion was the second soloist. He is concertmaster of the orchestra. He is one cf the most scholarly violinists in America to-day and his work lust night indicated careful training and long experience. He played the Svendsen "Romance," a com position which has been played here many times, but now for the first time with orchestral accompaniment, which gave it a background, both In harmony and tone color, and which rendere! the very tlorid composition doubly beautiful. The pro gramme closed with the overture to "Eury anthe," by Weber. Sale for I'nderevrski Recitnl. The sale of seats for the Paderewskl recital at Tomlinson Hall, Friday night, opened yesterday morning and by evening over one-half of the seating capacity of the- hall hal been sold. Out-of-town peo ple are taking great interest in the event. There will be a party of forty from Dan ville, thirty-live from Greencastle and twenty-live from Anderson.

Thermometer Drops Ilelorr Freezing at nit Auknard Time. it is probable that every farmer and early gardener, including the women who planted flower beds in advance of an as surel sunshine, went to sleep last night with visions of what the frost would bring forth in tho morning. So far this spring there has been no complaint about the fruit being killed, and the freezing line which tho weather man drew around In dianapolis will make an opening for a re port on the prospects for a fruit crop. At the weather bureau last night it could not be determined just how much frost would come, or if It would be accompanied by contlltions that kill, ruin or blast. The fatality of frost depends entirely upon at mospheric conditions, and is harmful in proportion to the "dryness, wetness and windiness." At 7 o'clock yesterday evening the ther mometer stooi at 2 degrees above zero, six degrees below freezing point. There had been a drop of 30 degrees since 7 o'clock in the morning, but the high wind, flurries of snow and overcast sky made the change seem greater. Relief, however, is promised, and warmer weather will come soon. Comfort may be taken from the fact that April 13 is the average date fixed for killing frosts, and that a brief cold snap is not altogether unusual at this time of yeär. The records In the weather bureau office show that frosts have come as late as the latter part of May, as on May 29, 1SSJ, and May 21, ISC. B. 0. JOHNSON RETURNS.

The principal discussion at the meeting was free employ ment offices In all States, and a resolution was adopted favoring such measures in all States.

He said if there is a demand fjr one he will place j the matter in the hands of the labor com missioners to be brought before the next legislature. Mr. Johnson found a big stack of mail on his desk when he returned, and most of it was very" discouraging. a reports were received from all parts of the State to the effect that the peach crop in Indiana is prac tically killed by the cold weather. lie ports show that cht rries and apples are in a safe condition, and wheat that was sown early Is in good condition. Late wheat was badly damaged by dry and cold weather. Iii ion Ministers' Assoeln tlon.

Matron neisner Thinks They Hnve Inherited a Yngrant Tendency Sleep In Their Clothes. Two little tow-headed youngsters, Joe and Grover Johnson, agd four and sir, respectively, slept at police station last r.ight for want of a better home. The po lice believe the boys inherit vagrancy, and ! the history of their parents and older brother bear out the theory. The boys were found at a West Indianapolis store yesterday and were sent to police station for refuge. Theirs is a pathetic story. Their home is a box car. Yesterday they walked into a grocery and told a story of privation and hunger. Their wan faces corroborated their story. Grover, the elder, said that their mother had smallpox and had been taken away. A charitably inclined woman had kept the little tots three days and then let them go. That is how they came to the grocery. When the boys reached police station they found a welcoming friend in Matron Iteisner. The matron recognized them as younger broth ers of Walter Johnson, "the Baby Tramp," now in Plainfteld Reformatory. That the boys inherit a tramp spirit is evident. Efforts by the police and Matron Rels ner to locate the mother proved unavail ing. She has not been sent to the pest house and is not in the custody of the health officers. The police believe the babies have begun their life's tramp the same as their brother did before them. They have the tramp's every trait. As soon as Matron Reisner gave them their fupper last evening they went to the ra diator, or "stove," as they called it, and lay down on the floor. They placed their heads cloe together and were soon fast asleep. Matron Reisner went Into a re tention room and placed a mattress on the floor and made a comfortable bed for the littlo wanderers. Then she attempted to undress them and put them to bed in reg ulation order. "Leave my clothes on." whined little Joe. "You'll sleep better with them off," said the matron kindly. "I never take 'em off, an I don't want to now," he added. The matron decided to let their custom be their way and the little fellows were soon fast asleep. For years their brother Walter caused the police trouble by his wandet ings arid sensational stories. It is belived that the mother has abandoned the youngsters and that they are to pass into the keeping of the Board of Children's Guardians. "The little fellows act just like their brother did before them," said Matron Reisner, "and they tell the same sad stories that he tised to tell. I can't help but believe that it is hereditary and It will take strong measures to take the tramp spirit out of these boys." Arrest of nert Thorann. Bert Thomas, a painter living at 434 Hia watha street, was arrested yesterday and charged with being implicated in the burg lary of Andrew Harmening's grocery last Saturday night. Thomas is said to have watched at the door while Charles Lock wood, now in jail, burglarized the store. Daulap's Celebrated Hats at Seaton's Hat Store. niG FOUR ROUTE.
