ROUND UP DANG
OF SHOPLIFTERS
{
“Dashing Dora” Leader of No
torious Band 'of Fashionable
Berlin Robbers.
LOOT OYER MILLION DOLLARS
Every Step of Polico Investigation of
Gang Results in Fresh Sensa
tional Disclosures—Eight
Are in Custody.
Berlin.—White slave traffic, the
morphia habit and the practice of
blackmail were joined to theft, fraud
and kleptomania In the “DanBe Maca
bre” of the band of Berlin shoplifter*
led by "Dashing Dora.”
Every step of the police Investiga
tion of the activities of this gang,
eight of whom are In custody, re
sults in fresh sensational disclosures.
Several members of the band plead
that they are addicted to the drug
habit and are not responsible for their
acts. Mrs. Foerster, one of Dora’s
“dashing” daughters, Is in the hospital,
suffering from morphia poison. Her
husband was arrested as he was in
the act of concealing stolen property
valued at several thousand pounds.
Louise Morvlllus, her sister, has
been released from custody In order
that she may go to her sick child,
but not before she had confessed to
the police that for years she has been
a white slave for her husband, Frank
Morvlllus, who Is director of the Ger
man disposal board.
Further raids have been made by
the police on the luxurious homes of
“Dashing Dora" and her accomplices,
and the enormous pile of stolen goods
at Clmrlottenberg police station has
received considerable addition.
Confiscate Bank Accounts.
The bank accounts of the gang,
which amount to many thousands of
pounds, have been confiscated.
Morvillus has pleaded that hls
mother-in-law Is the Victim of klep
tomania.
It has been alleged against Morvil
lus that he heavily bribed the police
in order to avoid arrest.
Members of the gang, who were
caught with $200,000 worth of stolen
goods ln their possession, have ter
rorised the largest Berlin luxury
stores for many years, and their dep
redations are estimated to exceed H,*
000,000 in value. Most of the prop
erty was disposed of ln Holland,
though a considerable quantity Is be
lieved to have found its way to
Britain, France and America.
Charlottenburg police station re
sembled a great warehouse. Them
were piles of china and leather goods,
Jewels and other valuable articles,
which were taken chiefly from a lux
urious six-room apartment occupied
by “Dashing Dora.” This woman
now forty-four, who has been twice
divorced, Is married to a youth of
twenty.
“Dashing Dora’s” home was raided
by policemen just at the seven crimi
nals were discussing a New Tear’s
present for "the firm," consisting of
two limousines with a liveried chauf
feur and footmen to assist them in
tbelr “profession.” Dora and her
woman accomplices, who lived like
princesses, mixed in the highest so
ciety. She Is considered the most
brazen and cleverest of light-fingered
crooks on record.
The list of booty carried off by
her gang Includes a priceless antique
porcelain set of 178 pieces which was
lifted piecemeal from an Unter den
Linden shop In four visits. An easy
Job for them was a gold coffee aet of
thirty-two pieces valued at $5,000.
This was carried off in one visit.
Special Belt* Used.
Dora and her friend* were equipped
with specially constructed leather
belts fitted with Innumerable hooks
to which they attached valuables as
they passed through the shops.
The incident which led to the raid
on Dora’s home illustrates the gang’s
audacity. They fell under the suspi
cion of a salesgirl at one Berlin lux
ury shop, but they bluffed the man
ager into un humble apology.
The next day the husbands of the
two women visited the shops, Indig
nation personified, and, flashing 1,000
mark notes In the face of the manager,
they Insisted on a written apology
from the salesgirl and the manager
himself. This was given, but the
manager was afterward struck with
the youth of the husbands as com
pared with their wives. He telephoned
for the police, and the gang were ar
rested. '

GRACEWOOD
The School For Backward Children
Preparing To Open
Dr. George H. Preston, of Baltimore,
In Charge
The work of preparing the houses
and grounds at Gracewood, the seat
of the new State institution for Back
ward Chilrden, Is going forward under
the supervision of Dr. George H. Pres
ton, the recently elected superintend
ent. Dr. and Mrs. Preston have been
at Gracewood for several weeks, mak
ing a survey and getting everything in
shape to open the school as soon as
possible. The buildings are being
overhauled, the farm straightened and
a dairy herd bought. The prelimin
aries are well ln hand and at no dis
tant date the doors will be thrown
open for the care of those children of
our State who require special train
ing.
Gracewood is eight miles from Au
gusta, Georgia, and was bought by
the State from the Tuttle-Newton Or
phanage. It is a beautiful location;
the houses are of solid concrete and
concrete block, they are exceptionally
well constructed; the cottage plan is
carried out; the dairy is very fine; an
electric light plant is installed, as well
as a water system. The extent to
which this school can be operated, of
course, depends entirely upon the lib
erality of the legislature toward this
much needed Institution. The number
of pupils to be admitted will depend
solely upon the maintenance fund
voted. Those who wish further in
formation, blanks for entrance, rules
under which the school will operate,
etc., can communicate with Or. George
1L Preston, Gracewood, Ga., who will
be glad to furnish any information
that he can.

OLD CARLYLE HOUSE
SURPASSING interest, because
of Its unmatched historical associa
tions, is the venerable home of John
Carlyle, who came to America as col
lector of customs for the British
Crown.
It Is located near the Potomac river
in Alexandria, Virginia, which settle
ment was at that time a sort of Amer
ican headquarters for the British em
pire. It was hmlt in 1752, on top of
an old fort which it is thought was
constructed about the year 1600.
Solidly built of cut stone which it
is believed was brought from England,
the walls of this two-story-and-ba.se
ment house are wonderfully well pre
served and much of the interior fur
nishings remain but little unchanged
from the days when this was the
scene of much old-fashioned hospital
lty.
In the hallway stands a slender,
grandfather’s clock which for more
than a century recorded the passing
of time, t'pstalrs Is the ancient can
opy bed, so high that a step was nec
essary to enable one to comfortably
climb into It, in which slept General
Braddock who was sent to this coun
try to take charge of the British for
ces during the French ami Indian
wars.
It was In the blue-room of this man
sion that the celebrated and historic
Council of the Governors of the Col
onies was held, which contributed so
much to the growing discontent that
later expressed itself in the Revolution
ary war.
General George Washington fre
quently visited here and It Is said
that hls commission as commander Id
chief of the Colonial army was
handed to him ln this house.

Movement, 1327 Snyder Ave.,

lasting destrinct'on.
1 Tim. 6: 9 : They , .- fall into
temptation ahd . . . Into jnanj
foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown
men Which In destruction. £ Pet, 3: 16: In
[St. Paul’s EpistlOsl; are
things hard to he tinders tood, which
itjiey that are unlearned ^jBeatructlon. and unstable
. . . wrest unto their p
2 Pet. 2 : 1, 12: .There shall be false
teachers ‘ de
among sou, , . . even
nying the Lord that bought them, and
bring upon thomsblves swift destruc
tion. These are as natural brute
ed. Ezeh.27. Her ^ e princes n,£l deStr . . ° y .

not aWo to kill the soul; but ra he.
fear Him which Is able to destroj
both soul and body in hell. Acts 3.
It Shall cme to pass that ever>
ue ucsrrojeu.
What Scriptures show that death a.
sin's penalty means extinction?
Job. 0: 15, 18: My brethren have
dealt deceitfully . . . and as the
streams of brooks they pass away
. . . They go to nothing, and per
tsh. Ps. 37; 10, 35, 36: For yet a lit
tie while, and the wicked shall not be:
yea, thou shalt diligently consider hi.-
place, and It shall not be. I have seen
the wicked in great power; . . .
yet he passed away, and lo, he was
not. I*s. 104 : 35: Let the wicked be
no more. Ps. 49: 12: Man being ln
honor abldeth not; he is like the
beasts that perish.
What does Christ's death as our
ransom prove to be sin’s penalty?

Man came ... to give Hls life a
Ransom for many. 1 Tim. 2:6: Who
gave Himself a Kunsom for all. Is,
53: 5, 8, 10, 12: He was wounded for
our transgressions; He was bruised
for our Iniquities; the chastisement
of our peace was upon Him; He was
cut off out of the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people
was He stricken. Thou shalt make
His soul an offering for sin. He hath
poured out Hls soul unto death;
end He was numbered with the tran
gresaora; and He bare the sin of
many.
1 Cor. 15: 3: Christ died for out
alns, according to the Scriptures. Rom,
5: 0, 8, 10; In due time Christ died
for the ungodly. . . . ' But God
eommendeth His love towards us in
that while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us. We were reconciled to
God by the Death of Hls Son. Rom.
4: 25: He was delivered for your of
fenses, and raised again for our Justi
fication.
2 Cor. 5: 14: If one died for all,
then were all dead. Heb. 2:9: But
we see Jesus, who by the grace ol
God should taste death for every man.
1 Pet. 3: 18: For Christ also hath
once suffered, the just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God, being
put to death in the flesh.
How can we be saved from sin’s
penalty?

Lumbago
There is a rheumatism of the mus

ly and is quite painful. Every move
ment aggravates the disease. Go to
bed, keep quiet and have Chamber

recovery may be expected. Mrs. F. J.

honestly s«y that Chamberlain’s Lini
ment cured m<* of Lumbago a year ago
last summer When I began using it,
I was flat on my back in bed and could
not turn to the left or right. I had a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Liniment in
the house and this was applied to my
