JEWELRY Store in
P. 0. Was ROBBED

YORK, N. D., Aug. 1.-THE post
Office here was entered in the night,
and the jewelry store operated in
connection, which is owned by Mr..
Abel, was robbed. A tray of valu-
able rings was stolen, also five gold
watches and two bracelets. Mr.. Abel
has thus far been unable to estimate
his loss, which is certain to amount to
several hundred dollars.
The theft entered through win
dow at the rear of the postoffice and
evidently was an amatuer at the busi-
ness, the safe where the postoftice
supplies are kept being unmolested.
This is the second robbery case
York has experienced during the last
few months, it is thought that some
of the unemployed numerous about
here. are responsible for the thefts.

GETS INFORMATION ABOUT
KANSAS CITY EXPLOSIONS,
Federal Grand Jury Hears Testimony
of Chief of Police.

Indianapolis, Dec. 15.-Government
officials who are cooperating with
District Attorney Miller in conducting
the investigation of the dynamite con-
spiraly before the federal grand jury,
Ieal ned from two sources today the
details of explosions in which it is said

W. B. Griffin. chief of police of Kan
SIS City, was questioned about certain
facts which it is said had never been
revealed. These explosions all direct
ed against structures erected by firms
employing nom unioo men, occurred
from 1908 TO 1910. Since not more
than two of them were confessedly
the work of Ortfe McManigal, Chief
Griffin's information was sifted to as
ed the property.
Much important testimony bearing
on the records taken from the head
quarters of the International Asso-
Workers was also obtained from Miss
Mary Dye, who went before the grand
jury. Until several years ago, Miss
Dye, now of Pittsburg. was confiden-
tiaI secretary in the iron workers
headquarters and as such had to do
with the correspondence Of ]. ]. Nc
Namara. the secretary treasurer.
Mrs Andrew j. Hull, the iron work
ers' former bookkeeper, also visited
the federal building. Many hotel
clerks from various parts of the coun-
try had been SubpOenaed to tell what
they know of McManigal while he was
on his dynamitin2 expeditions.
The hotel men are to be questioned
chiefly to corroborate McManigal's
confessed visits to certain towns with
a suit case filed either with dynamite
or nitro o-glycerine.
1t was intfmated that the iron work.
ers' officials were not opposing the
governments efforts to expose all i'm
plicated in the dynamiting, the fact
being pointed to that II. S. Hockin
acting secretary of the association,
again conferred with District Attorney
Miller. 1t was while HocIin was alb
sent that several wagon loads of pa
pers recently We're taken from the
headquarters. Hoclin refused to saw
whether they were taken with his con-
sent. About 10000 papers are to be
digested for the benefit of the grand
jury.

she failed to furnish much information
as to whether or not she has any as
sets that receiver in bankruptcy

said that all she knew about report
that Colonel Wilson took $3.50, 900 to
Europe and deposited it in banks there
while the government was investigat-
ing the affairs of the wireless COM
pany, was what she had seen in the
newspapers
Il don't believe he has any money
at all; in fact, I know he HASN'T was
her emphatic declaration towards the
close of her examination. The furnish
ings of her house, she said, were given
her by Wilson, and she believed they
were worth $4,000. She said she had
seen her husband every two weeks at
the Atlanta prison, but he had never
made a cOnfidant of her.
