"DRUNKEN" TEDDY BEAR TOLD OF BURGLARS' CALL Robbers Placed It on Landing of Looted Home at Malba, Queens Borough. BOTTLE AND GLASSES NEAR IT. Roberts Villa Robbed of Table Silver and Fur Coats, Valued in Ail at $1,700. When Mr. and Mrs.

V. Monroe Roberts of Malba. Queens Borough, descended the stairs of their handsome new home a few mornings ago they found an immense Teddy bear seated upon a landing, its head cocked to one side, and 3 hat pearched at an angle over one ear, as it the bear were sleeping off the effects of an all-night jag. Beside it was an uncorked cocktail bottle and two classes. Mr.

and Mrs. Roberts paused in astonishment. Just then a servant screamed that the house had been robbed, and they hurried past the "intoxicated" Teddy bear and made their way to the dining room, where they found all in confusion. Roberts home, which contains over twenty rooms, overlooks Powell's Cove, an arm of the East River. It is beautifully situated and its owners moved into it only recently.

Mr. Roberts is a wealthy varnish manufacturer. The family went to bed in the belief that all the windows and doors were locked. The table was set with some choice silver for breakfast. In some manner not yet known, although detectives have been employed to investigate, the buglars entered the house after having made a landing upon the grounds from a motor boat, it is believed.

The thieves went all over the ground floor, passing over valuable cut glass and bric-a-brac, probably because that might have been traced had it been stolen. They took a fine damask table cloth and a servant's apron, and gathered up the solid silverware, dumping it all into them and making two bundles. It is believed they had knowledge of the habits of the family, for they were not content with the silver they found readily, but went into a storeroom and pulled out a trunk in which Mrs. Roberts kept her very best silver. which she used only when giving a dinner to guests whom she particularly wished to honor.

All of that was taken. The thieves evidently paused during their raid to refresh themselves from the sideboard, as some decanters of choice wine were nearly empty. It is believed the load of silver proved too heavy to carry, by which reasoning the detectives have a theory that only two thieves, or possibly but one, entered the house. At any rate, ten pieces were left. three of which were plated, the only pieces of plated ware in the house.

One of the three was a fruit dish, a gift to Mrs. Roberts from a former admirer. wish the thieves had taken that along." said Mr. Roberts, ruefully, when he saw it, at which his wife broke into laughter. Proceeding up the stairs the thieves possessed themselves of two fur coats, valued at over $200, but took nothing else from that floor.

Then they took Mrs. Roberts' big Teddy bear, three feet in height, from a swing on an upper landing and placed him as described. Traces of a boat on the shore led Mr. Roberts and the detectives he employed to believe the thieves had come by moin which they carried part of pelf, torboat. They left the servant's snap apron, on the shore.

Refusal to Purchase Bonds of Bond and Mortgage Company Said to Have Held Up Policies. In the 'investigation of insurance matters by the legislative committee day the inquiry in regard to the Lloyd companies was continued. Henry W. Rowe, an insurance broker, said that the danger of conflagrations in New York had been greatly lessened by the efforts of the Insurance Exchange, and by brokers and companies working together. If were no big insurance commissions there would be no.

rebates, he said. Francis H. Ross, the New York representative of the Buffalo-German Fire Insurance Company, told of an alleged attempt to his company. into buying bonds from the Bond and Mortgage Company, a sub-division of the Lawyers Mortgage Company. "Some time ago," said Mr.

Ross, "a bond salesman named Woodbury, employed by Ladenburg, Thalman came to me and asked me to use my influence with my company, the Buffalo-German, and have them buy bonds of the Bond and Mortgage Company. 1 said I thought the -German would not buy any. He said that if it didn't I would tind that the Buttaio-German would find its name stricken from the approved, list of the Lawyers Mortgage Company, and in that event we could not write any policies on property that the Lawyers Mortgage Company held mortgages." told him that such a threat as he made would not coerce' a company like the Buffalo- German into buying any kind of bonds. He said I had better think it over. My company reused to buy the "What happened then?" asked Mr.

Merritt. "Well. two weeks later," replied Mr. Ross, "I a policy on 210 East Six-third street, 0.1 which the Mortgage Company held mortgage. The broker returned the policy promptly, saying that the Lawyers Mortgage Company would not accept the Buffalo-German policies.

"When the policy was returned on the property at 210 East Sixty-third street, I called up Mr. Woodbury and asked him if this was part of his game to blacklist us. I said if it was I'd make trouble for him if I could. He said he would see Mr. Hurd, the president of the Lawyers Mortgage Company.

I told the broker to try to place the policy again, and this time it was accepted." Mr. Ross went on to say that Woodbury, when he called on him, drafted a letter addressed to John G. Fickser, president of the Buffalo-German in his (Ross') office, asking him to purchase the bonds. In this letter. Woodbury, said Mr.

Ross, at his suggestion, omitted anything in the nature of a threat. The witness had a large volume of correspondence that passed between him and R. M. Hurd, president of the Lawyers Mortgage Company, the parent organization of the Bond aud Mortgage Company, that followed the alleged attempt at coercion, and the subsequent alleged blacklisting of the Buffalo This was not evidence, as it was. almost 1 o'clock when Mr.

Ross finished his story and the committee adjourned until Tuesday morning next. Buffalo, December 10-John G. Wickser, president of the Buffalo-German Fire Insurance Company said to-night that he knew nothing of the alleged attempt to blacklist the Buffalo-German. 'We were asked to buy some bonds by the bond mortgage company, but refused," said Mr. Wickser.

"not because we had anything against the mortgage company. but because we do not deal in that class of securities." LANE IS DOING WELL.
