BURGLARS VISIT STORE
TWICE WITHIN MONTH
Steal Another Coat, Valued at 1895,
From ]. M. Giddings & Co.
Other Robberies Reported.

Robbers who visited the store Of j.
morning of November 10, smashed a
big plate glass window and stole a
coat valued at $3.50, were SO well
pleased with their success that they
paid another visit to the store this
morning, repeated the window-smash -
ing and took a coat valued at 1895. 1t
was not until after o'clock this morn
ing that the robbery became known
Persons employed in the vicinity of the
store told Detective O'Brien that the
robbery was committed between 6:55
and o'clock this morning. They were
working on the pavement, they stated,
and were certain the window was not
smashed when their work was finished
at $50 o'clock.
Inspector Grant, chief of detectives,
thinks the persons who made the
statement simply failed to notice the
break. He is satisfied that the robbery
was committee before daybreak When
the coat was taken from the show
window last month the robbers smash
ed the west glass of the window, and
this morning the east glass was
broken.
glass cutter was first used on each
occasion, and the piece of glass taken
from the window this morning was
very small. according to the police. but
it was large enough to enable a robber
to reach in and get the coat. Photo
grapher Sandberg of the detective bu-
reau hopes he will be able to obtain
fngerprints that will assist in bringing
the robbers to justice.
Burglars last night visited the real
estate office of Francis Bennett Poe,
924 18th street, and made an unsuc-
cessful effort to open the safe. En-
trance was gained by cutting a pane
of glass from rear window A desk in
the office was ransacked and the knob
of the safe was battered. Mr.. Poe said
he thought nothing was stolen

Queer Thing About July.

How we came to pronounce July as
we do now, with the accent on the
second syllable, is one of the unsolved
mysteries of speech. Named, of course
after julius Caesar, it should really
be pronounced to rhyme with duly"
and so our forefathers actually did
pronounce it. Spenser, for instance,
has the line, Then came hot July
boiling like to fire. and even so late
as Johnson's time the accent was still
on the 'Ju." It is one of many words
which would startle those ancestors
of ours, spoken as we speak them
now.

QUICK HEARING IN
CASE IS WANTED
State Depository Board
Passes Resolution Intro
duced by Governor.

The state depository board passed a
resolution this morning introduced by
Governor Alexander calling upon the
attorney general to brush aside all
technicalities in connection with a
hearing in the Coffin claim case now
pending before the supreme court and
bring the case to tn eattention of that
tribunal at as early date as possible
so that settlement can be brought
about and the money turned into the
general funds of the treasury. The
board hopes to secure an early submits
sion of the case and is not in a temper
to have technicalities block it in any
way.
Il hold" said Governor Alexander
that T. C. Coffin has no legal or moral
claim upon the state OF Idaho for the
large fee he is seeking to recover from
the judgment entered in the district
court on behalf of the state in she Allen
bond case and that the fourteen thous-
and odd dollars that he claims belongs
to the state and to no one else. 1 do
not concede to him any lien whatsoever
on this money which believe should
now be In the general funds of the
state. where, in my opinion, 1t right
fully belongs
THE purpose of my resolution is to
get the matter before the court of last
resort in this stat efor settlement at
as early a date as possible and to
sweep asioe technicalities which may
delay it's presentation and a settle
ment. There is no other Significance
attached to the resolution"
The Coffin claim is for services rem
dered in handling the foreclosure suit
for the state against the National
Surety company in the Allen shortage
matter. Coffin originally gave notice
of filing a lien Of S12,5O0 against the
judgment secured by the state but
later withdrew the lien When the
National Surety company through It's
attorney, Hawley & Hawley, later
sought to settle with the state by deliv-
ering over the amount of the Judgment
Coffin created a sensation by stepping
in with an injunction to hold out the
total amount of his claim which this
time had been increased to $4,000.
The district court directed that this
amount be placed in special fund in
the state treasury pending the outcome
of an appeal to the supreme court as to
the merits of the claim. This appeal is
now pending before the latter tribunal
1t is said that the best Coffin can do is
to get recommendatory judgment to
the next legislature 70: the amount OF
the claim and the legislature may take
such action as ii sees fit toward allow
ing IL.
