WatChman'S Stories
 Don't Listen Right
 To The Authorities
Some Features of His sev- eral Tales on Safe Blow
 ing Don't Jibe, Is Said.

More complex than ever today is the mystery surrounding the blowing o1 the Gulf Refining company's safe on Bishop avenue Saturday night; the robbery of the Baird Machine com pany's vault and later reported bur glaries in Milford
 Manager H. G. Freeman of the Re fning company spent some time in conversation with Capt George Ar mold at headuarters this morning.
 Whether the watchman who was gagged was actually in the office at the time of the robbery or had fallen asleep iE the born is a question which the police would like to sof~e. They are of the opinion that Pickett has not divulged all he knows about the af- fair, as there are several material dis crepancies in the stories he has al- ready related. A gag which he ayers was tied about his head and mouth is big enough to fit upon his shoulders and he has not as yet satisfactorily accounted for the straps which were tied about his arms and legs.
 lit has been satisfa ctorily proven that the safe was blown with nitro glycerine, that about $1OO was taken, and that some of the records are also missing. That the robbers were ac- quainted with the premises has also been shown.
 not the first loss the Gulf Refining Co. sustained The new managers pres euce here is due to peculations on the part of a former official. It was stat ei by the present head of the con- cern to Capt. Arnold today that the rested in Savannah, Ga, by detectives employed by his bonding company, but that the matter was settled by repay rent of the losses.

''GREED" SAYS BISHOP CAUSED
 COAL STRIKE
Tells Senate Probers That If He Had the Power to Remedy Conditions He Would Send Both Oper- ators and Miners to Church Twice Every Sun
 day.

Washington, Sept. s-Greed of coal operators well as the miners, Bish- op P. J. Donahue, Catholic, of Wheel ing, W. Va, told the Senate invest:- gating committee, today, was the fun damental cause of the West Virginia strike. Exorbitant prices in company stores from IS to 25 percent above the market he gave as one instance on the part of the operators.
 The Bishop was on commission which investigated conditions on Paint and Cabin Creeks. He was agreeably surprised by the living conditions of the miners.
 "Of course, we found no Turkish rugs but we did find fairly comfortable workingm homeS,'' said the pre1ate.
 Were the men contented?' asked Senator Kenyon. 'r1 can best answer in the words of witness Griffith who said the men would not be satisfied un- til they owned the mines
 Coming to the cause of the strike the BisHop quoted a line from the Psalms--'The rich man flaunts his wealth and sets the poor man on fire,'' and declared it applied to the situa- ton in West Virginia. He added that this incidentally had been taught to the miners; that they had been taught that the saying poor we have with us always was in force and the min CTS had just as much right to auto mobiles and to live in Kanawha street as the coal operators.
 Senator Borah contended that if la boring men were not ambitious they would become industrial slaves.
 ''Ah! But not so if property owners are not filled with greed,'' returned the Bishop. 'I believe men should hold property not as their own but as trus- tees for others and that trusteeship should be shown by acts.'
 Senator Maritime asked Bishop Don ahue if labor unions were not orga- nized, in his opinion, for the good of the mem bers The Bishop hesitated until the question was repeated, then said That may be one reason; another is to furnish fat salaries to officials
 Attorney Monnett, also for the min CTS, asked if the Bishop thought Cat ling guns, armored cars and blood

NeighbOrs Say They Can't Sleep Because
 Of Racket In Dairy
Health Board Will Give Them Opportunity to State Grievances at Pub lie Hearing.
Cans to the right of them, Cans to the left of them, Cans all around them,
 Vo11eyed and thundered.


 That's what the neighbors say about Mitchel's Dairy in Grove street,
 The charge of the six hundred will take place tomorrow when the indig- nant residents will swoop down on a meeting of the Board of Health to demand that MT. Mitchells dairy be restrained.
 They say they can't sleep O nights, any more, because the pots and pans, and bottles and cans, teams and au- tomobiles, make such a merry din that old MT. Morpheus has fled the local ity.
 They ask the Health Board to order the dairy to move out of the local ity on the technical ground that the noise of the esta blishment constitutes a nuisance and that the plant is there fore amenable to the Health Board s orders.
 The board announced recently that it would give a public hearing on the petition remonstrating against the dairy and tomorrow night the Grove streets residents will be given an op- portunity to tell the board why they think that body should tie the tinware to the thriving dairy.
 In connection with the boards meet ing tomorrow night Dr. Florence Sher- man, medical inspector of schools who has just returned from her summer vacation, will outline her plans for the year. Dr. sherman addressed a meet ing of the public school teachers in the Bridgeport High school this after noon, and outlined the working of her card system for the promotion of the health of public school children.

OLD DRAFT
1t is Offered to Be Cashed
After Fifteen Years.

Minneapolis, March IL When
Christ Tompson, a farmer living near
Grantsburg, Wis went over to Nor
way fifteen years ago for a visit at his
old home, be put his money over in
to Broners and when he started back
soon afterwards be put his extra
kroners back into the form of a draft
for $40, drawn on the Security Ma
tional Bank of Minneapolis, and
several days ago cashed the draft.
When President A. p. Nelson of the
First State bank of GrantsbUrg, who
accepted the ffteen-year- old draft from
Thompson. walked mp to Cashier Fred
Spsfford at the Security National snd
laid down the old certificate, Assistant
Cashiers Walter Meachmsn and s. II.
Bezoir promptly figured up that if the
daft had been drawing 8 per CEN in in
terest since 1898 instead of lying among
Thompson's effects ON the Wisconsin
farm, Thompson would now have
$33S. so coming to him. AS it was
be lost Sl9s. so interest, or S5S. so
more than the face value.
''It is perfectly good said Mr.. Be-
zoir, "but it represents an interest loss
that is remarkable"

AN IMMORTAL BOOK
Crowded House at NJ. E. Church
Hears Sermon on Judg-
ment.

The Methodist church was filed
practically to capacity last night, the
second Sunday night Of the special
meetings in progress there. The song
service with which the meeting opened
was thoroughly enjoyed, both choir
and audience singing with hearty good
will and manifest pleasure. Prof. Lin
toms sole, "My Lord aud l." was a
plain and tender gospel message, ap-
p~esling and persuasive. The PASTORS
sermon was from a text describing
the last judgment and the opening of
the books. He declared that there is
not one record kept in heaven of our
deeds, but that each person keeps his
own record, inscribed on his memory;
that nothing is ever really forgotten;
and that on the judgment we will be
confronted by the record written in our
own memories. The questions that
confront us are two: are there any laws
being broken, and have we ourselves
broken any laws. There is but one
way to have the evil record blotted out,
and that is 10y Gods forgiveness, for
God says that if we repent he will re-
member our sins no more against us
and when God has forgotten them we
may afford to do so, but not until
then.
Tonight the chorus of young people
will be supplsnted by a children's
chorus of fifty or more voices. These
will occupy the choir loft and have the
prominent place in the musical pro-
gram. The pastor will preach on
"Some Liars that [ have met and
Prof. Linton will sing lis 1t YOU
Pastor and singer both declare that the
apparent significance in the conjunction
of these subjects is only accidental aud
not real. Wednesday night is rail
road mems night; the sermon will be
on "R~ailroading According to Time
CaId" Thursday night is Fraternity
night, all the lodge men and ladies be-
ing especially invited; the Odd Eel
lows will attend in a body. Services
will be held every night this week ex-
cept Saturday night.
