pied for various purposes.
The company's extensive additions
to its present factory buildings neces-
STATED the moving of the power plant
from its present location in order to
make room for extensions of the main
buildings. Much more power, too,
will be needed when the new machine
shops and other departments begin
operations. Hence the only alterna-
tive was the acquiring of more ground
and the erection of entirely new
power department.

THIEVES GET $4,000
WORTH Of DIAMONDS
Three Clerks Held Up With Re-
vOIvers, Bound and Gagged
by Robbers

New York. Jan. 30.-Between S40.-
600 and $4,000 worth of diamon onds
were stolen to-day from the pawn
shop of Adolph Stern on the upper
East Side by three men who drove up
to the store in an automobile, held
up the three clerks with revolvers,
bound and gagged them, threw the
jewels into three suit cases and es-
capped in the waiting car.
The first of the three men entered
the store ahead of his companions and
engaged one of the clerks in CONVEX
sation. The other two highwaymen
came in together and snapped the
spring lock on the door behing them
As If by signal, all three highwaymen
drew their revolvers and covered the
clerks with them. The clerks were
marched to the rear of the store,
bound and gagged with cord and
handkerchiefs, then thrown to the
floor and tied together. In addition to
the jewels, the highwaymen took $40
in cash but overlooked other cash
in the safe.
About quarter of an hour elapsed
before one of the clerks freed him
self and released the others and gave
the alarm.
The proprietor of the place, after
rough inventory estimated his loss
at $4,000. The estimate made of the
loss covered the amounts for which
the jewels were pawned the pro-
prietor said. and did not cover the
full value of the gems. This. he
thought, was much higher

PARK EXTENSION BILL
CARRYING ADDITIONAL
100000 NOW READY
Senator Beidleman Will Present
Measure in Senate at Monday
Evenings Session
TO COMPLETE PURCHASES
Governor Brumbaugh Will Go
Over District in Company
With Commission

The bill to appropriate 100000 to
complete the purchase of properties in
the Capitol Park extension has been
drafted at the Capitol and will be in
troduced into the Senate on Monday
night by Senator Edward L. Beidle-
man. of this city. The amount carried
by the bill has been carefully worked
out and will be required to take care
of everything desired. The original
appropriation of $4,000 it has been
found will not reach by the time the
end of the appropriation period ar
rives and the additional sum will en-
able the commission to acquire the
several churches, industrial plants
and other properties in the district.
The members of the commission dis
cussed the wN.In accomplished with
Governor Tener just before he retired
and he approved of what had been
done and of what was deemed neces-
sary. The matter has also been taken
up with Governor Brumbaugh. who is
much interested in the extension as
is every man who has given attention
to the proposition. The new governor
will take a walk around the district
with the commission in a short time,
although he has already noted the
progress made and is familiar with
the details of what has been done.
Thus far the commission has bought
trict and some of those not bought are
optioned or in process of negotiation.
Certain of these will be taken over
this year under the original appro-
priation as it becomes available.
The fact that the commission has
made such splendid progress without
having a case go to court and in a
manner so open and above board that
everyone knows what has been done
has not been lost on the legislators.
Just how Governor Tencr regarded
the project is illustrated by this ref
erence in his f1reweil message: The
Capitol Park Commission. created by
the act of June 3, 1911, has conducted
it's affairs in a thorough businesslike
way and its members are entitled to
the highest praise. The
transaction of the rapidly increasing
business of the various departments
of the State government makes neCes-
sary the acquisition of this area"
The commissioners are all men well
known to everyone here and to many
living elsewhere, being Spencer G..
Gilbert Samuel Kunkel and Samuel c.
Todd.
