Marauders' Visit.

The Hoosier Department store, at
600 Main street, was entered by rob-
bers sometime during the weekend,
and practically the entire stock Of
women's silk wearing apparel was
taken. The robbery is thought to
have been committed about midnight
Saturday, but was not discovered un-
til Monday morning.
The store was entered through a
barred window looking into court
yard on the east side of the building,
one Of the bars being wrenched off,
and the glass smashed.
Probably Used Truck.
Indications are that truck or other
conveyance was waiting for the goods,
and that they were packed in bales
and hurried out of town. The robbery
Is almost identical with that at the
Palais Royal several weeks ago, and
may have been done by the same
gang, the police say.

F. n. WILSON RESIGNS
after Is YEARS IN
LOCAL POST0FFICE

Frank N Wilson, superint tendent Of
mails in the Richmond postofice,
handed his resignation to Postmaster
Beck today after 25 years service in
the local office. Mr.. Wilson, who
worked up through various depart
ments to the position of superintend-
ent of mails three years ago, Is plan
ming to leave the first of June for Col
orado and adjoining states to travel
for a month or so. He said today that
he had not completed his plans for
future work.
Clarence Foreman, now at the c. O..
D. window. will probably succeed Mr..
Wilson, as the postmaster recommend
ed him to the department today. c, G..
Hyde, dispatching clerk, will take
up Foreman's work, and C. o. Word
low, of the dispatching department
will do Hyde's work for the present.
Another man will be needed in this
department, Postmaster Beck said to-
day, and added that Leroy Reynolds,
former local postoffice employe, who
has been in army mail service in
France during the war, sailed for the
States on May 10 and will be urged to
resume his work in the Richmond
office.
"I feel that Mr. Wilson's resignation
is a decided loss to the postoffiee, %
said the postmaster today, "but
never feel inclined to urge a good man
to stay in a position when he has op.
portunity to rise to bigger place, and
though Wilson has not definitely de.
cided what he will do feel sure that
his years of service with the postoffice
department have fitted him for what
ever work he has in mind
Wilson's application to duty, and
ability in his work have been admir-
able," said the postmaster.

CONGRESS- OPENS
WITH C. 0. P. IN
CONTROL AGAIN
Many Important Reconstruc-
ton Measures Before Body
Treaty to be Considered.
tBy Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, May 19.-Promptly
at noon today the extraordinary ses-
sion Of congress got smoothly under
way. With republicans in the major
ity In both houses, the leaders plunged
into the work of the organization.
The reconstruction" congress as
sembly in extraordinary session, under
the call issued by President Wilson
from Paris, May Z, marks the return
to power of the Republicans and loss
by the Democrats of control over the
national legislative body.
The immediate work before the con-
gress, the sixty-sixth of the American
republic, Is passage before July 1 of
seven regular annual appropriation
bills which failed in the fillibuster last
March. After that will come consider
alton Of the peace treaty and covenant
Of the league of nations, and railroad,
shipping, revenue, woman suffrage,
prohibition, army and navy and much
other legislation. Many Investigations
particularly into war activities, are
also expected.
The Republicans today, for the first
time since 1911, had majorities In
both branches Of congress as a result
of the congressional elections last No
vember. In the house they have a
margin Of two score votes, but in the
senate their majority is only two
raising questions, in view Of fractional
and other differences, of future action.
Holds Power by Veto.
With President Wilson Democrat
the change In the political complexion
of congress presented q situation sim
liar to that during the last two years
Of former President Tafts .administra
ttion, when there was Democratic
house, and to President Cleveland's
| administration, IN which there was 9
Republican congress.
The senate assembling today had
49 Republicans and AZ Democrats. The
new house roll lists 23S Republicans
1s9 Democrats, Independents, Pro
hibitionist, Socialist and four va
cancies (all in Democratic districts)
q total of 435. The house Division
| gives the Republicans majority oi
46 over the Democrats and 80 over al
combined opposition.
Republican action promises, how
ever, to be restrained by President
Wilson's veto power as two-thirds
vote is necessary to overrule veto
Cooperation between administration
officials and the Republicans is ex
pected on uncontested matters.
