They not only sawed the hinge bolts through. but also sawed off the nick elplated ornaments at either end of the nlnge bolts, which could have easily been unscreWed by hand. It is pre- sumed they thought that after the nlnge bolts were cut through it would be an easy matter to remove the doors or the safe, but in this they were mis- taken, as the thick receding outside doors were held firmly in position by the several lock bolts that could not De released in the regular way, only by releasing the lock by the combination route. That the doors were held In place by the lock bolts was demon- strated when Miss Archie released the. lock bolts. as the doors would have falten from their place without the least resistance. Had the entrance of the burglars not been detected by MT. Noyes and the bookkeeper opened the sa1e as usual, the heavy doors must have fallen out on her, undoubt edly, with serious result.
 The burglars left nothing behind that would tend to lead to Identifies. ton, but it Is believed that they were familiar with the conditions. not onlv In so Tar as the patrolman is concern ca, put also with circumstances con nacetd with the store. It hannen.d that more cash was deposited in the safe in the Gavitt store last Friday night than at any other period for a long time, several large sized bills be- ing paid on that day.
 | Upon finding that the safe would no. open after the saving process. the burglars then brought a breast drill into requisition. with the probable in . tention of using blasting juice. which If exploded would have removed the outer door of the safe without diff1cuI- ty. Even with the outer doors open- the burglars would have been unable to reach the strong box with any tools that they could possibly carry and work without motor power.
 l As 1t was. an attempt was made tc drill hole in the upper part of the out :. CT door, just start being made, and another attempt to bore a hole was made lower down and where the dou- ble doors meet. It is said that this attempt at boring in these locations is other evidence that the intruders were unfamiliar with safe construction. for had they bored holts about the com
 bination it would not have been difi- cult to turn the handle trhat would
 release the lock bolts. It is probable that the fellows spent the greater parl Of the night In the store and worked as steadily as was possible under the
 circumstances until the little clock de-
 noted that it was about time to quit.

NO REFERENDUM
ON RATE CHANGE
UNTIL NEXT YEAR
Vote Cannot Be Taken Until
Plan Is Approved by the
State Authorities.
DENEEN DECLINES TO ACT
VIII Withhold Approval Pending Gen.
eraI Elections In November
Society Is Ready.

There is every reason TO believe
that there will be no referendum Of
the rate question Of the Modern Wood
men before next year. This is due TO
the fact that the state authorities have
practically refused to approve a voting
plan until after the general elections
IN November. II is possible that the
referendum will be held in December.
but as the canvass OF the vote will
take all the way from 30 to 90 days,
II is unlikely that any action TO stay
the rate revision will be taken this
year
PETITION Is FILED.
A properly prepared petition calling
for a referendum IN the matter has
been fled with the executive council
Of the Modern woodmen, and that
body has, after conferences with its
attorneys and state authorities, pre-
pared a plan for the taking OF a vote
Of the membership OF the order. In
accordance with the law. however. the
plan must be approved by committee
OF state officials, including the insur-
ance commissioner, state treasurer and
superintendent Of public instruction.
This committee considered the plan
offered by the Woodmen directors and
called Governor c. s. Deneen into con
ference for his opinion. refusing to
pass on 1t themselves. Governor De
neen fatty refused TO take action in
the premises prior to November, at
which time he comes before the people
OF the state for reelection. Hence,
there Is no approval OF the referendum
plan. and without such there can be
no vote. The result is that the chang
ed rates will in all probability become
effective Jan. /.
