Willi How the Robbery Affected a Brooklyn Lawyer. Burglars blew open the safe In the post office at Loch Sheldrake, near Mld-dlctown, N.

early yesterday morning, and got away with $200 In postage stamps besides some other goods. Charles Bur-stein, a Brooklyn lawyer, with an office at 802 Broadway, who has been spending his vacation in that locality and returned to town today, was exercised for fear that he was a loser personally by the theft. After he had left a friend mailed him a $5 bill and his trunk check, which he had forgotten, in an envelope, and when he didn't get it this morning he came to the conclusion that it had gone with the rest of the loot. Telephone communication, however, showed him that the envelope had not been mailed through Loch Sheldrake, but by another route, and he ptill expects to get it. FIGHT AGAINST DADY IS ON Union Republican Club Starts Campaign for Leader's Elimination.

The efforts of the new Republican County Committee to bring about harmony and prevent primary fights do not extend to the First Assembly District, where two members of the campaign committee are after the political scalp of Colonel M. J. Dady and D. H. Ralston, the present leaders.

Any idea that the followers of Brady may have had that there Is to be a compromise was dispelled at a large meeting of the Union Republican Club, held at the clubrooms, 76 Court street, last night. A resolution was carried to send out a circular to all tho voters of the First Assembly Dis-strlct, stating that the fight was on again and that nothing would stop the fight until Colonel Dady and his followers were eliminated from political con- Following so soon upon the recent ap- pointment of Alexander M. White and John Hill Morgan, both members o'f this club, as members at large In the Cam- paign Committee of the county, this resolution of the club had special signlli- cance A prominent member of the club said last nlghf "No one who-knows Mr. White and Mr. Morgan would think for a moment that anything short of the complete elimination of Colonel Dady and bis deputy, Ralston, would satisfy the mem- bers of the Union Republican Club.

When Mr. White was made a member and treasurer of the County Campaign Com- mlttee, he made it clear that he accepted on the condition that he should be en- tirely free to continue his fight. "It was upon Mr. White's motion that Mr. Morgan was also made a.

member of that committee in order that the inter- ests of the Union Republican Club might not be overbalanced by the presence of Dady and Ralston. Morris Ely Is in this fight to win, and we expect his election." At the meeting laBt night, at which1 George W. Dahl presided, Mr. White was appointed chairman and Henry E. Ide treasurer of the committee to run the primary campaign.

BEEF JUMPS AGAIN. Best Cuts Selling Today at 16 1-2! Cents Wholesale. The price of meat is up again, ribs and loins selling today at 16 cents a pound wholesale. This is an advance of a half a cent a pound since Monday of this week, and an advance of a cent and a half a pound since the first of the month. The advance, according to the Brooklyn wholesalers, applies only to the very best grades of cattle.

The poorer grades havj not been affected by the recent raise. The figures Quoted apply to the whole sale price of meat the price to the re- tallers.

SEARCH FOR ONE SUSPECT. He Was Noticed Frequently Gazing With Rapt Regard at Da Vinci's Most Famous Work. Paris.

August 23 Louis I.enlne, the Prefect of Police, frankly admits complete mystification in regard to the dis appearance from the Louvre of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous work, known gen erally as "Mona Lisa," but popularly called by the French "La Up to this afternoon not a trace of the picture or the thief has been found. It is generally conceded that even a dull person would have perceived the Impossibility of selling a work so well known, and, accordingly, psychological explana tions of the strange case are sought. The attendants at the Salon Carre, where the painting had the place of honor five years, now tell of having wondered at the rapt and longing regard given to the portrait by a young man who, during reeant WAoUa freniieiltlv visited the Louvre. His' appearance suggested that he was of a northern race. He was blond and had blue eye He would gaze strangely at the dark Italian beauty as though enthralled with her "divine smile."

BOY MUTE TRIES CHECK GAME, But His Game Was Checked by Sleuth Who Was in Store.

The vigilance of the detectives who are working with particular attention to robberies In Jewelry stores, led to tho arrest of a 15-year-old deuf mule yesterday afternoon. The boy, Jacob Uurtuopsky of 323 Wyona street, appeared, shortly after o'clock, in a Jewelry store ut 1165 Broadway, kept by the Ash Bros. Detective George Hammond was In the store ut the time. Jacob started to look at gold watches. He ilnally selected two, which he signified he wanted to buy, writing oui a check for the $70 on the Bowery Bunk, Manhattan.

He signed the name of John White. The jeweler, after taking the check, sturtcd to telephone the bank to see if It was good. The boy, realizing what their object was, wroto on a piece of paper that the bank was closed. Ho then made a dash for the door, but was grabbed by the detective, who ordered Mr. Ash to telephone the bank while he covered the suspect with a gun.

It was found that "John White" had no account at the place, so Jacob was arretted. At the Ralph avenue police station the boy after keeping to his story that his name was White, and that he lived at 71 East Eighty-eighth street, Manhattan, finally broke down and gave his real name and address. This morning he was brought before Chief Justice Russell in the Children's I Court on the technical charge of va grancy. The case was adjourned until Monday. A SUCCESSFUL PICNIC.
