However. the fortunate fact is that

them.
When a member of the firm went
to the store Sunday he found the safe
door ajar and several of the cash and
check drawers broken open and
checks littering the floor.
A hasty examination disclosed the
extent of the money loss and It was
clear that the burglars entered by a
rear window alongside the safe. This
window is never used and has been
kept fastened by nails partly driven
in on each side of the top of the low

1t is said that four men boarded the
early west bound train here Sunday
morning and detectives are said to
be on their track but up to this time
no arrests have been made.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE facts
in regard to the $21 900 alleged to
have been contributed to the Repub-
iican campaign fund came out Fri
day night. Mr.. Niedringhaus made
complete statement denying the al

sum contributed was $21,237 by K.
Niedringhaus.
The local contributions given were

Mr.. Niedringhaus stated that he
contributed $1,so0 to the campaign

practically no money in the bank. /
was personally responsible to the
person with whom the debts had been,
contracted andSit was the chairman

You are assuming this responsible

.sIf 1 had $25,000 1 would guaran-
tee that the State of Missouri would
cast its electoral vote for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks
"Mr. Busch then said: Il am will
ling to join with yourself and Mr..
stifel to guarantee this $4,000. I
viii assume that guarantee if you
and Mr.. Stifel will assume the other
halt"
a Immediately announced that as
sumed my share and Mr.. Stifel
agreed.
-It was stated, however, that we
should make one more appeal to the
National Committee for $4,000 and
that anytime we should be fortunate
enough to receive this sum this guar
antee should be returned to the guar
antors.''
In reply to question Mr.. Neidring-
haus stated that he was under no OBJ
legation of any kind on account of
this guarantee to use any influence
whatever to effect legislation before

Mr.. Neidringhaus further. explain
