After unfolding a story of successive flat burglaries In Harlem and Washington Height.s with an accurateness of detail that astonished Magistrate Crane in the Harlem police court yesterday, and would have reflected credit upon Raffles himself. George Rapp. twenty one years old, was remanded to Police Head quarters for further examination, while asvea other young men whom he accused as accom plices were held in $3,'9M bail each for their appearance to-day. There have been seventy-five houses robbed in those sections in the last six months, and the police seemed powertesa until Charles Gardner, who lives with a family named Stan toii in an elevator apartment sit No. -'J~ West 112 th Street, grave information to the Harlem detective bureau a day or so ago that finally resulted in the apprehension of the eight men. Gardner said in court yesterday: "As I wa iving in bed reading Tuesday afternoon the bell rang, but 1 did not go to tbe door. At Inter vals of a few minutes it rang again and again, but I paid no attention to it. Finally I was startled to see a face sticking through the portieres In my bedroom, and I grabbed for the bead and found that it belonged to a slen der youth. 1 kept a good hold on him. Be moaned piteously, but suddenly shouted, turn nig his bead toward the open dumbwaiter door, 'Look out. Fitz." ■ \ marched him into the parlor, just as Mrs. Btanton cam.: in. AYe both talked to the l^.i. and he made BUCb an appealing story of hard luck that we told him we would let him go and give him whatever assistance we would if he would tell us who 'he was. He brightened tip and wrote o n a slip <>f paper: "George Rapp, No. Mil' Kast 150 th street.' "That evening Mrs. Stanton and 1 went to th.-. place and found that h. bad told the truth about his address. We talked to him and his sister, and were finally about to suggest help for him when he run out of the room and did not return. T told of this experience to detec tives at trie Harlem office." Pointing out Rapp as he stood a prisoner In the courtroom. Gardner concluded bj Baying. •and this is Rapp." The detectives were set to thinking by Gard ner's story, and they looked up all the fa^ts of the flathousc burglaries that had been puzzling them. They had a talk with Rapp. and then they picked up John Fitzgerald, nineteen years old, of No. fi'j:; West 141 st street. He gave some valuable information also, and one by one the followitic were arrested: Prank Donovan, nine teen years old. No. -jo;*! Klghth avenue; Charles Smith, twenty-one years old.

Ram made the following confes sion in the. hearirig of the detectives and the magistrate: "We have been operating from 150 th street to 116 th street, and Lenox and Seventh avenues for several months, and have cot into about seventy-five Hats In that time. Our game is to go to an apartment house, and In whatever way we can learn just what people are not home. We then ring the bell to make cure, and if it is not answered we walk upstairs to the roof and break into the dumbwaiter shaft. "'One and sometimes two of us g< t on the top of the dumbwaiter and lot it down slowly until we come to the flat wo want to get into. It ts easy to get the latch of the door open, and then the rest is a cinch." Host times we have to keep our feet braced against the wall of the shaft so the waiter will not slide down too fast. ".Sometimes when it is dark we get into the places by coming down the fire escape from tho roof. One time Smith and I were on a job to gether in a flat at Lenox avenue and 144 th street and separated to hide when we hoard a noise. Smith came out of a closet after a while, and when I walked up to him he thought I was some one who belonged In the place, and ho made a strike at me with a knife, but didn't hit me." Harry Baker, eighteen years old, of No. lot) East 91st street, who says be is a janitor, was arrest, d last night.

On Chrfatmaa Bye, while 853 pasKßgen on the Cunard liner Pannonla were praying for de- Irrerance from one of the -worst gales the At lanti. has over known, a stoker was operated on for appendicitis. He was able to bit out on the r. J. Fran ,is On put a modern Hercules under ether and saved him from death. "Bob" l«iw is the patient. He ifl ■ husky Scotchman, about twenty-eight years Old. The pannonia cleared Gibraltar on Decembe* 1.;. and on that ni K ht "nob" oonateiMd <* P uins in the ri^ht sld- of his abdomen. He took from ■ fellow stoker a glass or two of "the mixture that never failed* 1 and admitted be felt :.. wee bit better. But three days later th<- pain re turned, and the chief enKineer took from tho medicine chest a Ms dose of "Mack draft" and guv- It to 'Bob.- That should have cured the stoker according to the belief in the stokehole. but it didn't, and "Bob" had to "turn into h.s bunk for keeps." Hearts of the man's illness never got any further than the. engine room until about 1O p. m. on December 24. when the wiseacres of the fireroom thought it might be well to send for Dr. Orr • One hasty examination of the helpless stoker was sufficient for a diagnosis, and within ten minutes Dr. Orr had the young Scotchman on a table in the steerage hospital aft. He sent for Dr. Torok. the physician sent aboard all pas senger steamers leaving Trieste and Fiume by the Hungarian government. He asked him to assist in the operation. Dr. Torbk thought it a desperate undertaking- in such a heavy sea, hut consented, and attended to the dnties usually assigned to a trained nurse. Dr. Orr's assistant administered the anesthetic, and within one hour after he stretched out on the operating table "Bob" Law was able to understand what the doctors meant, when they informed him that his vermiform appendix was probably floating in the Atlantic a mile or two away. When the patient was well under the influence of the ether. Dr. Orr found It almost impossible to make an incision. The Pannonia. plunging into heavy head seas and lurching under the stress of sudden blasts of the gale, made it al most impossible for him to stand on his feet. Although braced and strapped to keep it from rolling, the big stoker's body slipped on the smooth operating table. In* desperation Dr. Orr sent word to Captain Irvine, asking him to bring the Pannonia to a dead «top for an hour or two until he could per form the operation, which is considered a deli cate one even under best conditions. It was ex plained by the doctor that he would run fewer chances if the steamer Rot into the trough of the sea, as It was the shock and jar of plunging into bead seas while under way that made the operation particularly hazardous. Dr. Orr did not have to explain much to Captain Irvine, for the latter ordered th« steamer stopped at once. The surgeon* worked cautiously, cutting into the abdominal region between lurches, and within thirty-five minutes after the Pannonii had "topped her commander got word that the operation was over and "Bob" Law would pull tnrough. The operation was the talk of the steamer when the Pannonia docked yesterday. The only man not wrought up to concert pitch over it was Dr. Orr. Ha said the operation' was performed under annoying circumstances, but apart from that he did not see. anything unusual about It. "Bob" Law thought It was a great Job. TO STOP EDDY GIFT.

The Senator said the President was perfectly right in the position he took in serving notice on Governor Sparks that unless he Issued a call for the Legislature the troops would be with drawn. •I do not think the President wanted hi* tele gram t-ikvn In the sense of a rebuke to the Gov ernor." said the Senator, "but if the Governor had read between the lines in the previous dis patches from Washington he would hay? un derstood what was to be dont*" Senator Nixon, who Is one of the principal owners of the Ooldfleld Consolidated Mining Company, which eontrola most of the mines in the district, said the miners had no cause for the Ftrike. "It was simply a part of the general scheme of the Western Federation to break up the mm* owners." he said. "I see it has been reported here that the miners struck because we forced them to take their pay in scrip, which was sub ject to a discount. The conditions were Just these: It was at the height of the financial troubles, when cities throughout the country were issuing clearing house certificates for cur rency. In Goldiield we would have done tha same, except that this method applies to an ar rangement between a number of banks, and In Goldiield there are only three banks, and two cC theso were closed. "The third is that of John S. Cook * Co.. owned by Mr. Cook. George Wingfleld and my self. We had plenty of currency in the vatJr?« 5500.000 — but those were ticklish time?, and we thought it would be wise to hold to it.
