THE BARTENDER GOT
AWAY WITH THE COIN

This morning, about 1 o'clock, Ar
thur Roberge, bartender at the
Frank H. Collins saloon, robbed the
till of the establishment, and left for
parts unknown. The amount of mon
ey secured was $10S50. Roberge had
room at the Cottage hotel and owes
this hostelry about $75 for board. The
proprietor Of the hotel has asked him
from time to time to settle the
amount of the bill, but he stalled him
off with the promise that as he be-
longed to the bartenders' union that
organization would stand good for his
debts, II he did not find employment
This seemed to satisfy the proprie-
tor and his board bill was allowed to
still further accumulate. Last night
at closing time, Roberge busted him
self about the safe, so as to make the
porter believe that he was putting the
money away, and, instead, was filling
his pockets with Mr. Collins money.
It is safe to assume that he left the
city Immediately. He did not show up
at the hotel this morning as usual
and In all probability is now some dis
lance from Salem. His trunk and
other effects are at the hotel The
theft was not discovered until this
morning, and the police we're immedi-
ately notified, and Chief Hamilton and
Officer Burkhardt went to work on
the case A thorough search has been
made Of the city, but, up to this time
no clue to his whereabouts has been
found
Roberge has worked for Mr. Collins

MAY PARDON NORRIS
CANNOT PAROLE HIM

Friends seeking a parole for W.
Cooper Norris. convicted Portland
banker, found another obstacle in
their way today when they ran up
against an iron-clad rule in the gov
ernor's Office that the governor will
act upon no parole or pardon until
the parole board has passed upon It,
and the consequence Of which will
be that If they desire to get the con-
victed banker out Of prison soon,
they must ask for a pardon and not
parole, for the parole board can
not recommend the latter until the
minimum sentence has expired,
which viii not be until June in the
Morris case.
