The mystery of the theft Of $240
from Barney Edleman's safe, which
was discovered early yesterday morn
ing and which kept the police officers
guessing until toward evening was
solved late last night when local
hoy, l6 years of age. was arrested
and plead guilty. The lad has high
ly respected mother and sister who
are heart-broken over the act. Booze
was the cause of his downfall and If
any prosecution follows, probably the
person or persons guilty of selling it
to him viii come in for their share Of
punishment. As yet, Mr.. Edelmsn
has not filed information against him.
The boy is in Jail and nothing else
will be done until District Attorney
Lane returns from Silverton.

Criticism is contained in the report
of the methods of leasing other lines
practiced by the Boston & Maine, the
amounts being fiat sums each year
without reference to the ability of the
lines leased to make the necessary re-
turns. Such a method of bailding up a
railroad system is denounced by the
commission rs ttinherently vicious
1t would be a monstrous PROPOSE
! ton, declares the report, "that be
cause at some past day some board of
/ directors of the Boston & Maine rail
road had agreed to pay an extravagant
Iprice for the use of the lines making
up its system, therefore the owners Of
/ these properties are for all time en-
titled to obtain this undue return upon
/ their investment. No criticism is made
of the New Haven for its management
of the Boston & Maine, although its
expenditures in operations "have been
made with a free hand.
