IS CAITUUK OF THIKF
Mrs. Theodore N. Haller, of Seat
tle. and daughter of Nnitod States
District. Judge T. M. Reed of Jun
eau, and formerly of Nome, display
ed her -pluck and courage recently
in Seattle in causing the capture of
a thief being pursued by a woman
detective as he emerged from a store
where he had been shop-lifting. Re
ferring to the incident the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer of January 5th
“The crash of an umbrella handle
of fossil ivory upon the illadvised
head of a fleeting theif, put a thrill
ing finish to a pursuit by Mrs. Theo
dore N. Haller. 606 Minor avenue,
well known society woman, which
led her up and down the stairs of
the Walker Building, Second and
University streets, down streets and
alLies, about 2 o’clock yesterday af
ternoon.”
The following is Mrs. Haller’s own
version of just exactly what took
”1 first saw the thief when he ran
out of the entrance of the Arcade
building, with a woman after him.
She was Miss J. Webster, a detective
for the Store Protective Association,
and she had caught the man shoplift
ing a pair of trousers. I afterwards
learned. But at first I thought It
was some man and his wife quarrel
ing, the thief looked to sheepish.
“He ducked across the street and
into the Walker building, and she
seemed likely to miss him. I ran
across to tell her where he went, be
cause I thought she deserved that
much help, even if iit was just a
family row. When she told me he
was a thief and begged me to help
her I just impulsively did bo. We |
screamed for men to help, but not a i
“Miss. Webster saw him coming
out erf a door on the second floor
back there somewhere, my geogra-!
phy is quite confused about all this.,
and she nan up the stairs. He came i
down, still with his sheepish grin,
and I grabbed h+m. He struck at '
my jaw and missed. Then I chased
him back to the Walker building, I
both pf us women screaming for ,
help all the t&me.
“We reached the second floor of j
the building again, and the thief l
dropped his hat, so that I managed I
to bring down my ivory-handled urn- j
brela on his head—ivory on ivory,
you might say. He swore like a |
trooper, and struck me in the stora- j
“But a poticeman had heard my ;
screams and got the man at (the door 1
of the Walker building. They made .
quite a fuss over me when the worn- |
an detective took me up to her head- ,
quarters, but really. I’m quite sorry j
for any man who gets hit by a worn- j
an as tall and strong as I am.”
Mm. Haller is well known and has j
a wide circle of friends In J#neau,
and especially Nome and thruout all
of Alaska. Last summer she spent
several week in Nome and Juneau
visiting with her father and friends.

8. 8. VICTORIA TO BK
KKOONSTRUCra*
Preparatory to entering the south
western Alaska service of the Alaska
Steamship company, the steamship
Victoria, is being overhauled at Pier
2. says the Seattle Post-Intelligen
ln addition to having the forward
portion of her cabins completely re
built the vessel is having extensive
repairs to her decks and superstruc
ture made at this time. Like the
steamship Alameda and Northwest
ern, recently reconditioned, this
liner will be virtually a new vessel.
June 9 has been scheduled as the
sailing date for the first voyage to
Nome this year. It is possible that
the Alaska Statemshlp Company will
decide to operate the Victoria but
two voyages to the Seward peninsula
this coming summer.
A smaller vessel will probably be
assigned to this route between the
Jane and October period.
On April 8 the Victoria will be
loaded with cannery supplies and
cannery bands and make a voyage
to False Pass and vicinity. After
that she will be operated to South
western Alaska ports In connection
with the steamship* Northwestern
and Alameda for two voyages. The
steaipshtp Alaska, now building at
Tacoma, will enter the southern Al
aska route on June 9th, when the
Victoria will have been withdrawn
to enter the Nome service.
