.ROBBER BREAKS INTO
.PALA|S ROYAL STORE
Nervy Burglar Breaks Sky.
light and Drops Into
Room.

Lone handed, nervy burglar broke
sky light, slid down a small piece
of telephone wire and dropped fifteen
or twenty feet into the Palais Royal
store last night. He went through
three cash drawers and pried open a
desk but took nothing, all the money
in the store having been locked in
a big safe before the store was
closed.
After an examination of the place,
the police declared the entrance had
been made by or with the assistance
of a person we'll acquainted with the
building. The burglar had used a
stairway, well hidden from public
view, to reach the roof He crossed
two roofs before getting onto the one
over the Palais Royal.
Used a Jimmy.
A Jimmy was used to crack the
skylight half an inch thick. The wire
had been cut from a bunch leading
across the roofs to the Western Union
Telegraph company. The hole in the
skylight was hardly more than foot
square, but the burglar let himself
down on the wire through it.
Not a garment or fur set had been
and small articles of value
which might have been carried away
without inconvenience, were not
touched Only places where money
might be found were pried into.
The police have no clue as to the
identity of the burglar.

Study BurIeson Report.
Government experts estimated to-
day that the cost of taking over the
operation of telegraph and telephone
lines, as recommended by Postmaster
General Burleson in his annual report,
would be more than one billion dol
lars. The postmaster generals rec
ommendation projected into congress
an issue over which there is already
marked difference of opinion, and
which President Wilson himself may
have to determine. A party caucus
was held for the purpose of getting
the exact views of the president and
majority of the party leaders.
Representative Lewis of Maryland
who has devoted months to the study
of the plan, is not committed fully to
the plan advanced by Burleson.
May Call Caucus.
Mr. Lewis estimates that the teIe-
phone system of the country, includ-
ing the Bell and independent lines,
may be purchased for $500, 900, 900.
The acquisition of the telegraph, he
says, would cost at least $200,OOO,OOO

which Mayor Zimmerman's municipal
Christmas tree committee received
from Santa Claus last night in an

From all over the state there
comes a cry for a change in the
road law. The sentiment seems
to be in favor of the repeal of the
present law, and the re-enactment
Of the law permitting the road
poll tax to be paid in labor by the
person from whom it is due. It
is claimed by the advocates Of the
suggested change, that better re-
suits were secured under the old
law than under the existing one;
that more work was secured on
the roads for the money expend-
ed then, than now. A large part
Of the road poll tax is levied on
men who own no property, and
it has been found to be more ex-
pedient and less expensive, to
collect this tax in labor than in
cash. This statement is made by
men who have heretofore served
as road overseers, and have had
the reputation of maintaining the
roads in their districts at a COM
paratively small cost. If the peo-
pie want the road law changed in
this respect they should take the
matter up, and write to their rep
resentatives in the legislature and
urge them to work for the sug-
gested change in the law.
