FRONT ROYAL BURGLARS.
Detectives Think That the Men May
Come Here.

Tuesday night safe Blowers visited the
express Office at Front Royal. Va, and
would have secured $4,000 had the ex-
riosiIe done the work intended. The fuse
however, was defective and the explosion
resulted in only destroying the company's
records. A package containing $4,000. ad-
dressed to General Fitzhugh Lee, was re-
ceived at the Office of the company Tues
day, and it is possible that the burglars
knew of this before they made the attempt.
The noise made by the explosion was so
great that the safe burglars were probably
afraid to remain long enough to make a
second attempt. No official report of the
job has been received by the police here.
but the detectives are very much interest
ed in the case. for the reason that the safe
blowers may come here.
The police here think that the men who
blew open the safe may be the men who
operated at Rockville last week. These
men are known to the police here, who
have made some effort to assist the Rock
vile and post office authorities in appre-
hending them.
Detective Weldon says he thinks that
some of the crooks who hang about Jack
son City were implicated in the Front
Royal job.

NO one appeared in court who could say
that the animal had ever attacked any

iZatlons of the fcity, notably the Anti-sa-
loon League and the Civic Center The
Normer organization asked the Endorsement
of the league in it's endeavors to secure
the passage of a bill through Congress pro-
bureau of inquiry. The Civic Center is now
engaged in an effort to make itself more
strongly. felt in ameiorating the condition
of the poor in the slums of the city. To
this end 1t has sent out circulars all
over the city asking for informal ion in re-

league decided. after some discussion, to
aid the Civic Center in this matter, and
also to give it's support to the efforts of
the Anti-salOon League in pressing it's in
te,ests before Congress.
1t is proposed to organize large Epworth
League choir. The active work will be in
charge of Mr.. William J. Palmer. Each
president of chapter will be asked to fur

chapter who have good voices and then Di-

will be called upon to render services will
probably be one which the league decided
