SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSED
SCARE AT WASHINGTON.
Guards Rush to RepeI Attack of Sup
posed Robbers.

Washington, Oct 12.-The burglar
alarm of the United States treasury
played a prank today ana the armed
guards of Uncle Sans millions We're
convulsed in fear that the govern
ment's vaults We're about to be sack
ed. With startling suddenness the
quiet of the treasury building was
broken by the signal which is intend
ed to announce robbers
Officials, clerks and watchmen by
the thousands poured into the corri-
dors and scurried pelI nell in an un-
organized sortie upon the supposed
miscreants. The guards grabbed their
rifles and pistols to shoot to kill, but
no robbers were visible Finally when
affairs had reached a climax because
the burglar or burglars apparently had
succeeded in concealment, it was dis
covered that the delicate electric
mechanism which is attached to every
opening to a vault had become disar-
ranged, possibly through short cir
cunt of the wires, and put the danger
gong into active service.
