ATTEMPT TO ROB LAUNDRY.
Novices Fail to Get at Cash In
Yale Safe.

An effort was made at a late hour last
nighr or early this morning. to rob the
office Of the Yale laundry, No. 517 10th
street northwest. Hinges were removed
from the safe in an effort to reach the
cash, and the money drawers were
searched, but the intruders were not
paid for their trouble. They were unable
to reach the inner compartments of the
safe. where the cash is kept.
Detective Baur made an examination of
the premises. and found that an entrance
had been gained by climbing through
window of the plumbing establishment
on the lower floor. From the lower floor
the would-be burglar reached the yard
and climbed ladder to an upper window.
The window was open and trouble was
experienced in getting into the part of
the building occupied by the laundry
company.
Once inside the building, it was an easy
matter to reach the safe and cash draw
ers. Detective Baur found that the hinges
of the safe had been partly removed. but
that was not all that was necessary to
get the door open. He thinks the work
is that of juveniles.

neer Commissioner Jndson has asked the

1t has been found that several build
ers desire to construct buildings with
nine inch walls. which are not allowed in
81 lie the city limits under the old regula-
lions, and inasmuch as the new reguia-
tons will permit such construction, it is
thought by the Engineer Commissioner to
be proper to allow builders to take adj

commended by Capt. William Kelly. as
sistant to the Engineer Commissioner

HARD WORK OF FIREMEN.
Prevent Spread of Flames at Colonial
Beach Despite q Stiff Wind.


Chief Bolts of the Colonial Beach fire
department called out his company Of fire.
fighters last Friday afternoon and had
them give an exhibition of their ability
to cope with a blaze. They saved the
surrounding houses, but were unable TO
save the property in which the fire origi--
mated. The fire destroyed the home OF
Thomas Templeman and his stable. Two
horses were cremated. and all his other
personal effects were destroyed.
Chief Bolts found his department had to
face a serious proposition. There was a
stiff wind blowing and there was danger
of the flames spreading and destroying
many dwellings. He also feared the dry
grass would ignite and be the means Of
conveying the fire through the town. but
a number of small pine trees were soon
cut down and used with telling effect by
volunteers who beat out the flames with
them.
The engine was taken to the river,
the nearest place where water could be
obtained. and the water had to be pump
ed fully one-quarter of mile to the
fire. 1t was only by the prompt and hard
work of the flremen and others that only
the one dwelling and stable were destroy
ed. About $1,000 damage resulted.
