Robbed the Poor Box,

If the police succeed in finding the mean
burglar who entered the Jewish synagogue
on E street southwest last night and robbed
the poor box the court will probably impose
the maximum sentence. Members of the
congregation have been in the habit of
leaving the key to the front door hang
against the facing of the door in order
that the first one to reach there in the
morning could get 1t to engage in religious
worship. Last night some person, pre-
sumably not member of the congregation
procured the key and entered. The in
truder took the contents of the poor box,
about 81 in cash, and went away. This
morning the police We're notified of the
robber. and search is being made for the
rCbber.
