GateB on Sunday night, stealing silk dresses valued at $3,000. The store was not insured. Miss Freda Krefetz, manager of the store, opened the' place today and discovered tho loss. In the basement were many summer dresses of a cheaper grade which had been discarded by the thieves as not worth taking.

Not a single silk shirt was left In the place. The hole In the floor was about a foot square, just large cnotiRh for a boy. The thieves screened their operations fro mthe view of passersliy in the street by putting chairs about the hole and draping them with newspapers. The method of operation suggested the work of a band of thieves who were busy a year ago in the Klatbuth section and who also cut holos in thu floors of the places thev robbed Thr police think the present robbery was the work of the same gang BROOKLYNITES PARIS I'-agle Bureau, 003 Hue Cambon.

5 ALLIGATORS MAKE HOME ON GOLF LINKS 'Clearwater, July 9 (By the Associated Press) Chief of Police Joseph Russell has Issued a the first hunter who takes a pot shot at any one of the five alligators that roam at will over Clearwater's golf course is going to Jail, tor the chief, who also is "boss" of the course, is determined that his pets shall not be disturbed. "If the golfers cannot get along with the 'gators the golfers will have to play their cow pasture pool elsewhere, that's all there Is to It," the chief has declared. At least five alligators are known to be- making their homes on the course. Russell recently discovered a little shaver about 2 V2 feet long. How many more are in the vicinity he does not know, but the old rule, that where there is much smoke fire will be found, holds good with 'gators, nnd he believes there are several who have not registered.

"Joe," the largest one, named for chief, is feet in length. Russell says "Joe" is a "secluded sort of cuss," because he is seen only in tne late afternoon, or when high tide raises the level in the water of the creek which "Joe" inhabits. The creek crosses the fairway of No. 3 hole. The other two are from 2.

to 4 feet in length. Two of them occupy the creek near No. 3 green, while the Other two are near No. 8 green. The two near No.

8 have become so accustomed to the golfers that they pay them only passing notice. Charles Livingston Bull, the artist, discovered the 'gators the first time recently while playing a round with Sewell Ford, the writer, when he walked almost upon a 4-footer sunning himself. "What's the idea, trying to give the tourist player a thrill?" nsked Hull. "Partly," Ford replied; "but I believe Russell Intends to train a few 'gators to act as caddies during the rush next season." Ship Garments on Hanger and in Bag A firm in West Virginia is using a novel way of delivering Its coats, stilts and dresses. Instead of being packed in boxes, these garments are uce i on a hanger and enclosed In a sort of paper bag shaped to close over the top of tlie hanger, only the hook proti uding.

Tills bag is open down the front and closed with string fasteneis. Thus the shipment Is hung in thi delivery motorcar. Thin method of delivery serves two rurpos-s. Firse, the garments are always kept hanging without being crushed. Secondly, the woman receiving the article can always hang it In her closet aa it is received with the batigrr and covering right (it hand.

The name of the firm is stamped on the hanger and also on the paper bag. serving an advertising purpose aa well." 1 KArdat hi a thr K.ai-t ard shall jointly aul-arrth I Tt I Ma i iaa-t II. ut-om raMTitiat in lurton of tuna in inr on that (t.mi furniira the tua.u rot'lrm la tha I'arinr Th'r' kium mor. it aa t. of that em loitatlon ff rountnrt nl rl'l hK li tr-4 ta thr mara and rivalilra hrtarrn ho rorra in thr i P'.

Democrats Might Indorse Him. Aldermanic President F. H. La Guardia will peraist In hi; efforts to secure the Republican nomination for Mayor, even If Senator Lockwood of Brooklyn Is the designated choice of thr Republican organization to head the Republlcah-Fuaion ticket. Announcement to that effect was made by Mai.

La Guardia today when asked specifically if he would with draw in the event of Lockwood being named. Senator Lockwood In looked upon in political circle! as the candidate chiefly of United States Senator William M. Calder. Because of that fact it has been thought that La Guardia. who also owes much of his success in political life to the Calder influence and la known to have a high regard for the Brooklyn Senator, would not want to oppose Lockwood if the latter were the designated choice of the Republican organization.

The word that he would do so comes as a surprise, particularly to tho Brooklyn Republican chiefs, who have smoothed out their own factional differences and come to an agreement to submit Lockwood's name as their choice for the Mayoralty. "I am still a candidate for the Re publican nomination for Mayor," declared the Aldermanic head today when questioned. "Nothing has occur red which has altered my determina tion to submit myself to he enroll al party voters in the primaries for that place." Questioned on the renort that the Democrats were considering a fusion" ticket of their own to steal march on the Republicans hv In dorsing him for his present office and asked what his attitude would be to such a move, he evaded a direct reply by answering: "It seems to me my party ous-ht to be anxious to have a man who can win. I am confident that I can bc nominated and that I can win." The problem of what tol do with LaGuardla is rapidly assuming a formidable aspect from a Republican standpoint. Up to a few weeks ago the party leaders, or a great majority of them at any rate, were of a mind to turn hint down for renomination and leave him oft the ticket alto gether.

The threat of LaGuardla to enter the primaries and especially the talk that the Democrats may make a play for the support of LaGuardia's followers in the G. O. Including the large Italian-American element, has caused the G. O. P.

men to fear riskinir an out-and-out turndown forLaGuardia. The sentiment at the present time is ne can have a renomination if he will take it. Despite LaGuardia's belligerent talk there are many who think he will think better of the op. portunlty later on. 3 BOYS SEIZED AS BURGLARS At 3 o'clock this morning Policeman Burkhard of the Clymer st.

SAYS YANKEE FILMS AMERICANIZE BRITISH Children Following Our Ideas in Dress and Customs. London, July 7 (by Associated Press) English children are rapidly becoming Americanized through seeing nothing but American moving pictures.

"Killtons of children go to the pic tures regularly," he said to on inter viewer. "In American films no op portunity is lost to Introduce the American flag: American motors are rhowti and popularized; American ideas in dress, furniture, habits and customs are being continually put before the children, with the result (hat they know more about Lincoln and the North and South wars than about Oliver Cromwell and Nelson.

Mr. Kieffer said that when he and Tmcey and Pheffleld knocked at the door of Margaret Brown's apartment, she opened the door and In reply to inrir questions denied having aeen Kieffer or Elizabeth. While she was talking, Mr.

Kieffer thought he neard nts child voice on the fire escape and led the other two men In a mad race down the ladders to overtake her. Whoever It was that had the child, he said, proved too fast, nnd when the pursuers reached tho bottom the child's voice was growing mini in me distance. Mr. Kieffer lives with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs.

William A. Lewis. Elizabeth slept In a room adjoining her father's. Mr. Kieffer went Into the child's room at 1 o'clock Saturday night just before going to bed.

Vernon of Rutheaford, desisted.

Consequently Mr. Kieffer did not inform the Rutherford police of the kidnapping. He spent Sunday In detective work and with the result that he found Margaret Brown's address. He has heard nothing of the child today. This is the fourth case within a week In New York wherein marital difficulties have led to kidnapping.

In none of the cr.aeg bags tbe child heen recovered by the parent from whom it was stolen.

Washington, July 11 The course of the United Slates was definitely set today toward two goals of Interna tional Importance limitation of ar mament and solution of problems Involving the Pacific and the Far East. President Harding, It was revealed In a State Department announcement published- today, has approached with Informal, but definite inquiries the governments of Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan to ascertain whether it would be agreeable to those nations to" participate in a conference to be held in Washington at an agreed upon date for the discussion of armament limitation. He has furthermore suggested to the nations Interested in the problems of the Paciflo and Far East that there be undertaken in connection with the armament conference the consideration of ail matters bear ing upon their solution with a view to reaching a common understanding' with respect to principles and policies in the Far East." The State Department announce ment said that if the proposal for a limitation of armament conference were found acceptable, formal invitations for the conference would be Issued.

Whether any responses to the Inquiries directed to the Allied and Associated Powers have been received by the President was not Indicated in the Department's announcement.

This Las been communicated to the Powers, concerned, and China also has been invited to take part in the discussion relating to Far Eastern problems." Eastern Problems Vital. The American Government, it was Indicated today regards in clusion of a discussion of Far Eastern problems as ot vital importance to.

Government officials refrained from defining the exact scope of the confer ence on Far Eastern affairs and from discussing the details of its organization. There appeared no disposition to doubt that Ihe powers would accept the President's Invitation and it was assumed that it would not be many months before tlie conference was un der way. The date and personnel, it was exploded, were features that could not te determined until formal acceptances of the proposul had been made.

Although the disarmament confer ence suggested was for the five Allied and Associated Powers, It was indicated that In the consideration of special subjects in which any other nation was Involved, there doubtless would be no hesitation in seeking the views of that nation or even of inviting direct participation In the confer- HARDING POWERS PLAN CUT All simple nxiirauct: or ivlatioi.a cn Ihe jttrtC't'th br Amrta cace reatr- luiiwn.

German officials express grief mixed with unwilling admiration over tho wording of the peace resolution that seemed not to miss a single bet In preserving American rights, and pay that there does not appear to be the slightest loophole for extracting under it anything the American Government did not wish to concede.
