SAFE ROBBERY AT RUTLAND.
Rutland Fire Clay Co. Robbed of SIS
Tuesday Night.

Burglars, who left behind evidences
that they were experienced in the busi-
ness, Tuesday night forced open a win
dow of the office at the Rutland Fire
Clay company south of Rutland and
stole about SIS in money from safe
in vault which they opened without
breaking the lock. This safe is a small
one and was not locked, it being the
custom of the office to leave it open as
il is used only for comparatively small
sums of money and papers which would
not be valuable to anyone but the own

The office was entered by removing
a wire screen from window on the
east side OF the building, the window
being pried up. The leather handle was
broken of from the vault door, but
from the fact that the lock to the vault
was unbroken it is supposed that the
burglars were sufficiently expert to
turn the combination. The drawers in
the safe showed traces of having been

Sullivan and Penrose Face
an Inquiry by the
Senate
SENATOR NORRIS TO
PRODUCE WITNESSES
Nature of Their Testimony
Will Determine Future
Action

Washington, Sept. 24-The Senate
committee on privileges and elec'
tions will probably conduct an
investigation into alleged expenditures
and contributions to the campaigns OF
Boies Penrose and Roger Sullivan, can
didates for Senator in Pennsylvania and
Illinois respectively.
At a meeting of the committee yes
terday to consider the Norris resolution,
directing such an investigation, the
members of the committee indicated
an intention to proceed with the in
yestigation after hearing certain evi'
dence produced by Senator Norris and
receiving from him the names of wit
nesses in Illinois and Pennsylvania,
who, he said, would testify to the facts.
A witness will be heard from each
state. The committee adjourned until
Saturday, on which day Senator Nor
ris will produce the two witnesses be-
fore the committee and the character
Of the testimony they give will deter
mine the committees course. The
members said after the meeting yester-
day that there was every indication OF
a desire in the committee to go to the
bottom of matters in both states. Sen
ator Norris resolution proceeded on the
theory that money had been spent in
the campaign to promote senatorial
candidates. that was not disclosed in
any report filed with the secretary of
the Senate under the requirements of
the law.
He did not mention Mr.. Sullivan or
Mr.. Penrose by name in the resolution
but it was known that he had them
specifically in mind. His statement be-
fore the committee yesterday left no
doubt of it, for he mentioned both men
by name.
1t appears that representative Of
the Legislative Voters league and Good
Government club was sent to both states
to keep tabs on what went on, and he
reported some interesting findings.
The committee has not decided just
when the investigation will be held,
whether before or after election.

even more evident il livestock had been
considered. and livestock is essential to
the best farming.
"The condition Of roads, bridges,
fences. and farm buildings was poorest
in regions where the most moving was
done.
"The usual reasons given for this con-
dition were. first, that the tenant leaves
the repairs for the next tenant to make
and. second. that the tenant is usually
in poor financial condition to mako
such repairs even il he were so inelined.'
