RAID STORES IN LESLIE
and Then. GET AWAY
Robbers Made Excellent Haul
Saturday Morning

Citizens of Leslie l. Americas yes
terday told of {. successful raid OF
a.%lteur cracksmen there in the early
morning, wherein three places of bus
mess were entered and considerable
loot taken in the way of money and
yaluables, the thieves then making
their escape unidentified.
The office of the Griffin & Wallace
warehouse was entered, as were the
stores Of Frank James and Hugh L.
Speer, the thieves working Ieisure!y
lat their early morning job.
Only a few dollars wee missed
from the cash drawer Of the ware
house Office, the thieves overlooking
a large amount in checks and otho
cash items, Mr.. Speer could not dis
cove any loss in money or goods
The Jones store was the rich prize,
tho thieves getting over 5000 in cash,
fine gold watch and other valuables
Notes, deeds and other papers We're
scattered about the store. Entrance
was effected through store window,
the thieves breaking glass and rails
ng the bar over the door.
An old buggy spring and hatchat
belonging in the store took the place
of regular "jimmies.'
In the light Of past experience M,
Jones has been accustomed to leave
his safe unlocked at night, merely
closing the heavy door and turning
the bolt. He does this rather than
have his safe wrecked by dynamite,
as he thinks burglars will not stay
out if they wish to get in.
The yeggmen yesterday evidently
knew this fact, for they easily opened
the outer door and they smashed the
locks of the inside iron door protecting
the cash drawer.
The fact that the robbers did not
attack the safe at the Griffin
warehouse shows that they were anna
teurs, The burglaries were discover
ed early yesterday morning and a gem

NO VOTE FOR TAFT
AT NEXT ELECTION.
He Failed to Register Properly.

Chicago, Oct. 28.-The president of
the United State can't vote-that is,
not this year. He failed to register
properly in Cincinnati.
Mr. Taft heard the sad news to-day
and when discovered that his ignor-
ance of registration laws was the real
reason for his undoing, it is stated he
calculated expressions more or less in
keeping with presidential dignity.
Another reason that had to do with
barring the president from the polls,
was lack of speed in the postal SER
vice. The presidents frs, registra-
tion papers we~e forwarded to Gin
cinnati with his "uns called signature
These were not acCopdble under the
law, so a now affidavit made in the
presence Of a notary was forwarded

"PtNNSY' is AFTER
ADVERTISING SW|NDLERS
Who Are Making Use of the New Sta
ton at New York to Work
Their Little Game.

Advertising swindlers are using the
Pennsylvania station in New York as
means for swindles in many parts
OF the country. A number of these
have been brought to the attention of
the Pennsylvania Railroad and vigor-
Gus means are to be taken to put an
end to them. One swindle which has
been perpetrated most generally
is that of large advertising poster,
which it is claimed win be hung in
the Pennsylvania station in New York
and in addition in various places a1d
TIE lines of the company. This poster
contains a large picture of the Penn
sylvania station, surrounded by adver-
tisements.
A rather unique method is used by
the solicitors in this schsm IN that
they state that they do not want any
money, only a signed contract, and
that the auditor OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad will make the collection.
When the contract is signed and the
town is worked, the solicitors leave,
and later on the printing concern
draws a draft on the advertiser for
the amount of the contract One of
the contracts is marked Accepted, G.
f. Keen, 90S Monadlock building, Chi
cago, Ill.," and the posters are printed
| by a Chicago firm.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials
said yesterday that the company knew
absolutely nothing about any Of these
schemes and that the railroad had no
connection whatever with any of them
1t was further stated that it was a
well established policy of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company not to have
any advertising matter posted on its
property.

DEATH OF SENATOR ELklNs.

Public men of all parties will mourn
the death of Stephen II. Elklns, sena-
tor from West Virginia. While intima-
tons came recently that he had taken
a turn for worse, news of his death
comes as shock and his passing
away will be universally regretted.
Senator Elkins was so strong full OF
yigor. SO optimistic, that he seemed
to be in the heyday of health.
Soon after the adjournment of Con
gress last summer Mr. Elkns suffered
severely from what appeared to be the
effect OF overwork. He had labored
necessarily on railroad rate legisia-
lion and ii was due to his efforts, more
shan to those of any other man, that
Congress enacted the law amending
the interstate commerce act. Senator
Elkins gave himself to his country
with as much devotion as a soldier on
the field of battle. At the conclu'ic ion
of his work he took long vacation,
expecting that rest would repair the
inrJads made upon his strength. He
had bsen stricken, however, With
fatal malady the nature of which was
never clearly discovered by his physi-
clans, and while he seemed to rally az
times. it became evident few days
ago that his end was near.
The West Virginia senator was a
wholesome, comparable, lovable man.
His friends were as numerous among
Democrats as among Republicans. His
partsanship was keen and his politi-
cal life active. but there was no ran
cor in his nature and he won endur-
ing friendships. Being a successful
man. he was sometimes the target OF
envy and malice, but he was content
to be judged by the quality of his SER
vices as a senator. The record stands
and it is an honorable one. His name
il indissilubly linked with legislation
that has worked reforms in the con-
duct of the railroad business.
While other men detained and
sought personal popularity he worked
10 practical ends for the public well
fare. His great business ability was
OF invaluable service to the country.
As time went on his experience in
the Senate made him a legislator OF
exceptional skill, and he gave his tai
ents to his State and country without
stint. even to the ultimate breakdown
of his health
den in the thick of life's struggle

brave. generous nature of Stephen b.
Elkins. They will miss and mourn
him, and will cherish his memory

GIRLS AND NiCkELODEONS.

The Cleveland Leader Thus de-
scribes an evil that has been noted in
various cities:
All who go To the picture shows,
and they embrace a large part of the
city's population, will agree with Mrs.
Stegman, probat.o on officer, that some
over sight should be kept over the
young girls who attend them. Though
no fault OF the proprietors, these
places, in all probability, have created
the conditions whereby more than a
few lives have been bHghted.
The young corner loater sits beside
the girl from a respectable home. Her
parents have really given her rermis-
sion to go to the show, though they
would not have permitted her to wan
der about on the strests at night. The
necessary semi-darkness Of the room
ard the emotions stirred by the pic4
lures make it easy for the vicious
young man to begin q speaking ac-
quaintanca with her. After that, the
show provides a good excuse and OPP
portunity for ether meetings.
The natural result of this condition
of AFFAIRS is shown in the cases of a
number of young girls who have been
brought before the juvenile court with
in the last two weeks. They have
been started on the road to ruin by
way of the da kened picture show
halls.

BUT PRELIMINARY
Davis EIkins' Friends Plan Senate Ca
reer For Him-Position Was
Not Sought.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 11.-Repub-
i can friends OF the new Senator from
West Virginia. Davis Elkins, believe
that his present brief appointive term
in the upper house of Congress Is pre-
urinary to long Senate career.
They cherish the hope, and deem it
well founded, that when the Republic
cans recapture the West Virginia Leg
islature, Senator Davis EIkins will be
elected and will fill for many years
the place filed by his father, Senator
Stephen b. Elkins The term of the
latter will end March 3, 1919. and the
election which will be held in the Leg
islature in a short time to fill the un.
expired term of Senator Stephen B.
Eikils will hold only until that time.
II is thought by the friends Of SEN
ator Davis Elkins that the prestige
given him by his appointment for the
time between now and the election by
the Legislature will probably result
ultimately in giving him long lease
