sorry in the Salt Lake

the Salt Lake High school at a salary
of $50 per month This was one of the
actions taken by the committee on

quired that all the boys in that insti-
tuition wear uniforms, except in cases
where they are excused by Principal

Three new teachers were employed.
They are Miss Cora Mcknight. at a
salary of $50; Miss Sara J. Lyle, at a

BURGLARS MAKE RICH
HAUL OF OVER 500, 600

Berea, o.. Oct 26.-One of the bold
est safe robberies ever perpetrated in
this vicinity occurred at an early hour
this morning in almost the heart of
the village. The hardware store of
Lawrence & Brightman was entered,
the large safe wrecked. and the rob
bers made good their escape, carrying
with them booty aggregating an
amount of more than 100000.
Baldwin university bears the heavi-
est loss. c. c. Brightman, the junior
member of the firm, is also a treasurer
and a trustee of Baldwin university,
and all of the valuable papers of the
institution which were left in Bright
mans custody were kept in the safe.
Bonds, deeds, notes and mortgages of
the university aggregating S100, 900 IN
value were secured by the robbers.
Many of the notes held by the Baldwin
university were of long standing and
bore numerous endorsements, making
il impossible to produce them in dupli-
cate. A diligent search for the thieves
has been instituted but as yet no clue
to the whereabouts or identity has
been established.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife. The safe was constructed on fire
and burglar-proof principles. yet the
heavy doors were twisted from their
hinges and large pieces of the safe
doors We're firmly imbedded in the
walls of the building. some sections
weighing fifty pounds being blown
clear through a partition.

City Attorney Stephens and Chairman
Eichnor Give Opinions.

City Attorney Stephens and Chairman
Eichnor Give Opinions
In response TO a request from Chair
man Folks of the city D mocratic
committee. City Attorney Stephens
yesterday submitted an opinion on the
qualifications of voters in the ensuing
election. Mr.. Stephens held that a
citizen who moves from one precinct to
another after sixty days before the
election cannot legally vote IN either.
Chairman Eichnor holds that the
new election law makes it possible to
transfer from one precinct to another
up to the election Until that law has
been declared unconstitutional by
court of competent Jurisdiction the reg
istration agents may properly consider
Il q law.
Both Mr.. Eichnor and Mr.. Stephens
agree that the law is unconstitutional.
The constitution provides that a citizen
must reside one year in the state, four
months in a county and sixty days in
a precinct before he can vote. The at
torneys declare that it is not possible
to evade the constitution by the pas
sage of any statute.
The county commissioners have de-
cided that registration agents must not
transfer from one precinct to another
no matter what the law passed by the
last legislature provides. Just what
the outcome of the muddle is to be is
hard to foresee, but the lawyers are
advising voters who have moved from
one precinct to another not to attempt
to vote.

How Two Runaway Boys Eluded
Their Parents.
With their faces covered with tar
black and their beds on their backs,
Whitney Mcneil and Dan Williams,
two young boys who disappeared from
their homes four days ago, were caught
yesterday climbing from the roof of the
Melcalf bottling works on West Temple
and Market streets, where il is said
they have been camping since their
disappearance. In the possession of the
boys was found a lot of combs which
they admitted having stolen and they
were placed under arrest by officer
Sperry.
About four days ago the mothers Of
the two boys. who live in the southern
part of the city, and are pupils of the
Grant school, reported that they had
disappeared. The truant officers made
an effort to locate them. but were I'M
able to find them. Yesterday morning
an employee of the Metcalf Bottling
company discovered the lads crawling
down a ladder from the top of the two
story building and collared one of
them. The other made an attempt to
escape, but he was caught and they
were urned over to officer Sperry. The
boys were taken before Judge Diehl
yesterday morning and after being
given a severe lecture and warning,
were allowed to return to their homes.
