✓ BOND THEFTS LAID
TO MASTER ROBBER
Trusted Messenger Boys in New
York Lured to Life of
Crime.
Now York.—The sinister hand of a
master robber has been directing the
series of bond thefts, which has re
sulted In the loss, through trusted em
ployees of banking and brokerage
houses m the financial district of New
York city, of nearly $1,000,000, accord
ing to the belief of the police.
In no other manner can the authori
ties account for the fact that inexperi
enced boys, some of them just out of
school, have been able to plan and ex
ecute successfully thefts of securities
on a gigantic .scale. No boy’s brain, it

is contended, could plan some of the
robberies which have startled Wall
street.
Many of the best trained minds of
New York city's detective force, be
sides scores of private detectives in
the employ of financial institutions
and bonding companies which have
lost heavily, are seeking the criminal
whose master mind directs the work
of the actual operatives. They are
working on the theory that the arch
t criminal is a man of unusual ability
with an intimate knowledge of the
habits of financial houses, and the ap
parently loose methods in which they
send securities about the Wall street
district in the pockets or satchels car
^ rled by young clerks.
It is believed agents of the master
criminal scrape acquaintance with
banking and brokerage house messen
gers, manage to involve them in small
debts, lure them to increase the debts
in the hope of “getting even” and then,
when they are hopelessly entangled,
open before them the glittering and
easy rewards of a life of crime.

Concerning the Story of Wraps
The story of winter wraps has
reached its climax, as it always does,
with the arrival of the opera season.
It begins early in the fall with a re
cital of the affairs of the stalwart
coats that must bear the brunt of reaL
.service throughout the winter, and
progresses through many an engross
ing chapter dealing with more preten
fious garments. Finally comes the
resume of the brief and splendid
careers of evening wraps, some of
them wholly frivolous. But each sea
son witnesses certain coats that are as
rich and as useful as any; they are
the best efforts of the couturiers, and
include the incomparable coats of fine
furs.
In the same class with these, so far
as beauty is concerned, are the two
impressive wraps that the camera has
reported, with such fidelity, shown
above. They are made of the hand
somest fur fabrics and completed with
collars of natural fur of the best
grades. Each is worthy of the other.
The coat at the left Is made up of
a lustrous and very beautiful material
which is a replica of broadtail. It is
umple and enveloping with lines that
are managed with wonderful skill, si>
that it seems to cling to the figure.
The sleeves have deep, flaring cuffs
that partly cover the hands. There is
the simplest of narrow girdles at the
front and a big, luxurious shawl collar
of fox fur. No brocade, however
rich, or cloth of gold can outclass
magnificent furs or do more than vie
with as perfect a semblance of them
as appears in this coat.
The textile fur in the coat at the
right Is like sealskin, but more supple
It has a cape-yoke and sleeves cut in
one with the body. Its lining is a silk
crepe and the wide collar and deep
cuffs are of martin fur. The design is
especially becoming to slender figures
and the coat is so excellent in style
and rich in appearance that it belongs
in the class with sealskin. Like coats
of natural fur, these may appear day
or night at any sort of function.
