Exciting Daylight Episode With Bur-
glans In Biooklyn.
‘ ONE OF THEM WAS CAPTURED
Two Unsuccessful Attempts to Blow Up
Safes Had Been Made, and the Fel-
. low Only Surrendered fat the
'I’oint of a Loaded Revolver.
Brooklyn, April 22.—An exciting chase
covering five blocks in the business
center of this city and a. fusillade Of
half a. dozen pistol shots were the fea-
tures today in the arrest of a man the
police believed to be a professional
burglar. The prisoner says he is James
Lynch, 217 years old, and lives .at New
Haven. He is a dapper little fellow,
stylishly dressed and looks more like a
bank clerk than a burglar. A full set
'of burglarTs tools were found in the
prisoner’s possession. Lynch .had a
partner who escaped, and the Brook-
lyn police were engaged today in mak—
ing strenuous efforts to capture him.
The burglars forced an entrance to
.. Edwin Burt’s shoe store at the corner
of Fulton and Hoyt streets last nigh-t
and spent a large portion of the night
in trying to ‘blow open the big safe that
stands in one corner of the store. They
drilled two 'holes alongside of the com—
bination and inserted a terrific charge,
but instead of blowing the door out
they blew it in and were thus foiled in
their efforts to get at the contents. Not
satisfied with their night’s work they
forced the padlock to the stair door
leading to S. S. White's dental supply
office on the floor above Burt’s shoe
store and 'stackled another big safe.
They drilled a large hole about an inch
deep near the combination, but for
some reason it was not satisfactory.
Then they started to drill holes in five
other places in the safe door. No at-
tempt was made to blow open the safe.
It is thought that they gave up the job
in disgust, for the safe was left intact
with the front door only disfigured.
Before starting in to work they cut all
the wires in the building, including the
electric light wires. The shades were
carefully drawn in all the wind. .175 and
there are evidences that the burglars
went at their work deliberately and
leisurely. , ‘
The Chase Begins.
Day was just beginning to dawn
when the two men, angry and disgusted
at the unsuccessful night’s work, quit
the place, slamming the door behind
them, and went out on Hoyt street from
the side door of the shoe store. Police-
man Carroll was standing on the corner
at the time. His attention was attract-
ed to the men by hearing the door slam. -
Turning around he saw the men hasten—
ing up Hoyt street toward Livingston.
f‘One minute, please,” he shouted. “I
would like to speak to you.”
The men paid no attention to his re-
quest but quickened their stcps, and
Carroll hurried after them. l‘he men
turned into Livingston street and when
around the corner stopped and waited
for the bluecoat. When Carroll ap-
peared around the corner the taller of
the two men, the one who escaped,
shouted with an oath:
“Stay where you are!”
Thereupon the fellow whipped out his
revolver and fired a shot at Carroll. The
policeman then pulled his revolver and
fired at the two men who, thereupon,-
turned and ran down Livingston street.
Neither shot took effect. Carroll started
after them in hot pursuit. At the corner
of Smith street the burglars turned and
ran toward Schermerhorn street, where
they made a stand.
Again the taller burglar shouted to
Carroll, “Don’t come any farther .or I’ll
blow your brains out!"
Carroll paid no attention to the
threat, but kept on, and the burglar,
true to his word, blazed away at him.
Carroll returned the fire, and then the
burglars separated, one going down
Schermerhorn street to Boerum place,
and the other up Schermerhorn toward
Hoyt street. Carroll started in pursuit
of the burglar who fled toward Boerum
place. At Ifoerum place the burglar,
who was somewhat in the lead, disap—
' peared in turning the corner, and Car—
‘ roll was nonplussed. He stood at the
corner panting hard and trying to get
his breath, looking first in one direc—
tion and then in another, when the
burglar, who had hidden in an area—
way in the expectation that the police-
man would run on past him, came out.
The burglar started up Schermerhorn
street toward Hoyt street, apparently
in expectation of joining his partner.
Carroll called upon him to stop. Then
the man turned. He was breathing
hard and was infuriated.
A Defiant Burglar.
"D—— you!” he shouted. “Don’t you
come another inch! I’ll blow your —
head off!”
Carroll started to chase the fellow,
when he pulled out his revolver and
fired. Carroll says he could hear the
bullet whiz by him. It was the first
bullet that had comeanywhere near
him, and it made him shudder. Then
he thought it was time to return the
shot, and he pulled out his revolver and
fired. The bullet apparently went wide
of its mark, for the burglar turned and
fled up Schermerhorn street. The bur-
glar turned into Smith street and ran
down one block to a saloon, where he
hid behind the storm doors.‘ Here the
burglar encountered Policeman Edward
Fitzgerald, who was attracted to the
scene by the repeated pistol reports,
and he whipped out his revolver and
fired at the burglar.
Policeman Carroll was also closing
in upon him and shouting for him to
surrender. The burglar at last saw
that he was cornered, but made one
more attempt to draw his revolver,
,when Carroll, who saw the move,
shouted to him, “Throw up your
hands!” Carroll had out his revolver
and was about to fire.
The burglar’s hands went up ,over
his head in a trice. .
Carroll searched the man,
away his weapon,
chambered revolver.
“Did you get anything?” Oarroll ask-
ed.
“No, but I tried hard,” the fellow re-
plied.
On the way to the Adams street pc-
lice station the prisoner was docile and
meek and followed the policeman with—
out any resistance.
At the police station the prisoner was
searched, and a. complete burglar’s kit
for housebreaking and forcing safes
was found in his possession. '

THE THEFT OI‘ RAIATEA.
Details of the Conquest of the Island and
Exile of the Native Queen-
San Francisco, April 22.e—The barker)-
tine City of Papeta, just arrived from
Tahiti, brought news confirming the re-
port that the queen of the island ofE
Raiatea, one of the Society islands, was
captured by the French and sent intoI
exile with her husband and the princi-
pal chiefs. Mrs. S. J. Hutchinson, a
missionary sent from the Holiness
church of Los Angeles, returned from
the island on the City of Papeta, hav-
ing been refused permission to do mis-
sion work there, as her religion differed
from that which has been established
on the island. She was allowed to land
at Nouka Hiva. but was prevented; from
attempting to convert the natives.
The war which resulted in the queen’s
exile was brought to a close by a severe
bayonet charge of the French against
the natives, whose ammunition had be—
come exhausted. The natives were
crowded behind a breastwork and near-
ly every one was killed. The queen
afterward surrendered. Besides those
vexiled with the queen, more than 300
warriors were taken in a transport to
Christmas island. As_no water could
be found here the warriors were taken
back to Nouka Hiva for further in—
structions. The officers in charge of the
prisoners were directed to take them to
another island of the Marquesas group
that M. Lichtle had leased from the
French government for the purpose of
using it as a cattle range. As soon as
the natives were put on the island they.
began to kill the cattle for food. When
the City of Papeta left the islands M.
Lichtle was trying to get the govern—
ment to remove the natiVes and to pay
him for the animals killed.
Is KELLEY INSANE?
His Strange, Doings to Be Urged In Ex-
tenuation of His Crinle.
Amesbury, Mass, April ‘22.—The news
of her son’s arrest and subsequent con—
fession of guilt as the murderer of
Cashier Stickney, of the Great Falls
National bank of 'Somersworth, N. H.,
has prostrated the mother of Joseph E.
Kelley and today she was seriously iii.
In fact, her condition was such that Mr.
Kelley has abandoned his plan to go to
Somersworth at once and will remain
[with his wife until she is much better.
Since yesterday there has been much
talk here about Kelley’s probable in-
sanity and many references have been
heard to the fall which he sustained
when a child, the facts of which have
been recalled since the first intimation
of Kelley’s possible connection with the
murder. ‘
It is pointed out that thetheory of
mental unsoundness is the only one
consistent with the many strange acts
he has committed since he was a boy.
It is expected that this Will be urged as
extenuation for the crime when Kelley
comes before the courts.
Kelley Professes Religion.
Montreal, April 22.—Kelley, the Som-
ersworth murderer. was to have been
arraigned today, but the absence of Ex—
tradition Commissioner Judge Dugas
delayed matters. Kelley has made a
long statement about his former de—
plorable lack of . religion. which he
blames for his present plight. He pro-
fesses to have been converted anew by
reflection upon his crime.
Fatal Fire at Chicago.
Chicago, April 22.—Tw0 lives were
lost and three dwellings partially de-
stroyed by fire in a building at 4226
Ashland avenue. Many of the occu-
pants were forced to jump from the
windows, while others were taken down
ladders. The persons killed were John
McCleash and John Coyne. Coyne, who
was but 13 years old, was found in the
armsof McCleash, who had evidently
perished in an effort to save the boy.
Republicans Win In Omaha.
Omaha, April 22.—Complete returns

on mayor was: Moores (Rep), 6,622;I
Howell (fusion), 6,417.
