PHILIP LEVI & BRO.
426, Light Street, Baltimore
CAUGHT ROBBING A JEWELRY STORE
Baltimore, Md., July 7.- An attempt to rob the store of Philip Levi & Bro., 426 Light street, was foiled by the police last night, and after a long pursuit the supposed burglar was caught. He gave his name as Richard Vanscort, and said that he had been in the city only two days. He is a sailor, only 23 years old, and says that he is from New York.
The entrance to the store was made through the back yard of the premises. The transom of the door was forced by a "jimmy," which was left behind. The man took two large satchels belonging to the firm and packed them full of the goods he was trying to make away with. Previously he had tried to break the burglar alarm attachments with which the house is fitted. They did not sound when he entered, but as Patrolman Vickers passed by and tested the door to see if it were open, the bell sounded. The officer knew that something was wrong, and, notifying a watchman to guard the front door, he ran into an alley at the back of the store and captured Vanscort.
An examination of the store showed that he had probably been on the premises. From the indications, he must have started to change his clothes, which were old and dirty, for a new suit. A vest which matched exactly the coat he was wearing was found on the floor, and beside it was the "jimmy," which is an extremely fine one. The man evidently had an eye for his own comfort when he made the selection of the goods to pack in the satchel. Collars to fit his neck were in there and several pairs of kid gloves. The other articles in the valises consisted of 24 watches, 8 revolvers, a box of cartridges, 27 watch chains, 2 "billies," sleeve buttons, rings, lockets, bracelets, watch charms, stockings and other pieces of wearing apparel. The goods were valued in all at $525. He was held for trial.

Baltimore
Gordon Brothers Purchase Engel-Pack Co. of Baltimore
Gordon Brothers, jewelry store and stock buyers of Boston, Mass., have purchased all of the inventory and other assets of the Engel-Pack Co., Inc., wholesale jewelers of Baltimore, Md.
Purchase of the Engle-Pack assets was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court after approval by an unofficial creditors’ committee represented by attorneys Joseph Frier of Goldman & Frier, New York City, and Louis J. Sagner, Baltimore.
Unsecured creditors are expected to be paid approximately 25 per cent of their claims against Engel-Pack out of the purchase price of $101,000.
Gordon Brothers was requested by the unofficial creditors’ committee to submit an offer for the Baltimore concern after the committee had received several offers, which they considered unsatisfactory, the highest of which, according to Gordon Brothers, was $70,000.
The entire inventory will be moved to Boston, where Gordon Brothers will sell it from their new and larger quarters at 38 Bromfield St., opening this month. The furniture and fixtures are being sold in Baltimore.

Baltimore Jeweler to Take Part in Drive to Sell More Silver
BALTIMORE, MD., April 20.—A fine, cooperative spirit has developed among Baltimore jewelers in making the “Sterling Silver Week” the success that it should be. Virtually all downtown and uptown jewelers this week are making use of every bit of window space that is possible for the display of silverware, and the use of cards calling the attention of the public to the wisdom of buying sterling silver.
Among the local firms making special displays as a prelude to bigger action during the week of May 3-11 are the Hennegan-Bates Co., Samuel Kirk & Son, Inc., The Stieff Co., S. and N. Katz, Henry Castelberg, the James R. Armiger Co., the Castelberg National Jewelry Co., M. Greenebaum, H. J. Schwarz & Co., and William J. Miller, A special advertising campaign in the newspapers by individual jewelers is now running, positive action being taken to call the public’s attention to the value of sterling.
C. Howard Milliken, president of the Baltimore Jewelers’ Association, asserted that the value of the sterling silver campaign, as conducted nationally, cannot be overestimated. Mr. Milliken. declared the campaign to be stimulating to the silverware branch of the jewelry business.
