balds clothing store at Ludlow, three
miles from here, during last night,
when goods valued at 800 were stolen.
At Patterson's restaurant in the same
town sfO cash was secured.
IL was found that the burglars had
forced entrance to the bank through n
window. They blew Off one Of the
three doors of the vault with three
charges Of dynamite The explosions
so affected the working Of the inner
doors that the burglars could not get
into the vault and were forced to leave
without securing any booty.
Persons living near by stated to-day
that they noticed an automobile stand
ing in front of the bank some time ir
the early morning. hut no one caugh'

Bank officials could not get at theil
money for some time to-day. as II re
quired several hours work before the

WANT SEXTON TO
EXPLAIN REPORT
r. n. johnson Won't Sign Auditing
Report of Former Three-l
League President.

PEORIA, March 9-What proved to
be considerable of a sensation was
sprung in the meeting of Three-I d.
rectors in Chicago, when it was
learned that R. H Johnson, former
president of the Peoria Three-I league
club and a member of the auditing
committee appointed to go over the
books of former President Sexton
when the latter retired from the of.
fee of president of the league, had
instructed Dave Rowan, his proxy, to
refuse to sign the report OF the audi
tors. Since the discovery magnates
around the circuit have been whisper
ing all kinds of things and have been
limiting that bomb is about to be ex-
ploded.
The explanation follows: At for.
mer meeting of the league NJ. H. Sex
ton, R. H. Johnson and sames Hayes,
the latter of Davenport, were appoint.
ed members of a committee to audit
President Sections books before they
were turned over to the incoming
president. AL. Tearney. Mr.. Johnson
went to Rock Island to meet with the
committee, but was called to Daven-
port OH business during the session
and left the work In the hands of
Hayes and Sexton. Hayes and Sexton
completed the audit, but Johnson had
no opportunity to sign it until
after the books had been turned over
to President Tearney. The latter, in
going over the figures, discovered the
entry of several charges which were
not itemized and for which no explana
lions were made Consequently, whe-
the directors took the matter up at the
meeting last week, it was to learr
! that Mr.. Johnson had instructed his
! proxy. Dave Rowan, not to sign the
auditors report until an explanation
/ had heen received from Mr.. Sexton az
to these charges.
II is assumed, of course, that tht
charges are regular and can be ex
4 planned, but until Mr.. Johnson re
ceives some explanation as to wha
use the money for the various charge
was put he refuses to sign the report
The special committee, consisting 0
Messrs. Sexton. Hayes and johnson
was continued, to give it opportunit
to turn in signed report and sue
report it is expected will be forthcon
ing. The league requires the presiden
to itemize all expenditures, and failur
to do so by former President Sexto
is taken to have been an Oversight
and is expected to be Strengthened OF
shortly.

Holds All the Title.

During his thirty-seven years OF bill
lard playing Schaefer reid at one
time or another the title in each style
of the game He was successfully
champion in straight rail, cushion

balk line, eighteen-inch balk line. one
and two shots in, and three cushions.
Hardly had a certain style come in
vogue before Jake" showed such
skill th.t theoretically more hurdles
We're put in his way.
The straight-rail game soon became
into the discard In turn came the
balk-line games, which were mastered
as easily as the rest. Later on the
wizard took up the three-cushion
| game in which he aeain showed his
wonderful versatility. Through an
! accident to his wrist he was slowed
/ up considerably in tlis style. In the
! early part of the present decade his
stiffest opponent at the three-cushion
game was Gene Carter.
! One of his Greatest feats came early
in his career when he defeated George
I Slosson, in 1879, at three-ball French
caroms. In the tourney were Slosson
l.Daly, Sexton, GARNER, Dion, Garter
and others. Schaefer defeated each
in turn and then came the final match

because of the matters" proclivity
of being able to beat the game in all
it's phases. All styles looked alike to
him. He was not only master, but put
the finishing touches to practically
every billiard game invented.
That he was not the prodigy while
in his teens as Willie Hoppe became
