 No less than ten cases of bur glarv have been committed in the town during the last three weeks. They are not confined to any partic- ular section but are scattered from Assum's Bakery opposite the town hall to the outskirts. The latest case to be reported is at 1925 Barnum ave- nue where Michael W. Sedorka lost his roll of $500 which was taken from i his trousers hanging on the foot Of the bed in which he was sleeping. l The evening school conducted at Honeyspot is proving a great success. It is for the purpose of teaching Eng fish to foreigners, thereby making these people better American citizens. The staff of teachers deserve great credit for the work they are doing. One of the reasons for the success of the night school at HoneEspot Is the arrangement of the classes. There are three in all. The most advanced class is under the supervision of Mir. 1 Thompson, superintendent of the Stratford public schools. All men and women over 16 years of age, who have attended public school or those who can read and write English fairly well, are welcome.
 The middle class under MT. Robin son Is for those people who can just read or write English a little. | The Rev Carpenter has charge of the lowest class. This is attended mostly by married people who can neither read or write English.
 In all. 70 grown people are taking advantage of the splendid opportunity offered at Honeyspot school.

Negro Editor Blames
Whites for Race Riots

DR.. w. +. p. Du Bois, of 70 Fifth
Avenue, editor Of "The Crisis" a maga-
zine published in connection with the
work Of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colorcd People,
yesterday attributed the race riots in
Washington to the irritability Of all
people and the unscttling of many
ideas caused by the war, to the influx
Of large number of Southerncrs into
Washington, and to tho presence In
that city of many Of tho representa- =
tivcs Of the educated, we'll dressed

tagonists dislike.
Washington policemen are notori-
ously unfricndly TO the colorcd people,
he added "Time and time again they
stand by and witness n dispute be
tween white man and negro, and
when it is over and tho negro has been
beaten they arrest the negro and not
The white man who caused the trouble
in the first place"
The colorcd editor pointed out the
simlaritics between the prcrcnt riots
in Washington and the Atlanta riots
which occurred about twelve years ago.
In both places, he said white hood

1t is expected the ammany Execu-

upon the following slate:

Production of Oil in
Louisiana Is Growing
Fields in Northern Part of State
Are Turning Out $4,000
Barrels Daily

According to late information. the
daily production in the North Louisi-
ana fields IS $4,000 barrels, that Of the
Ranger field in Texas approximately
$4,000 barrels. and that OF the famous
Burkburnett Texas field 3S 900 bar
rels: This figure will give some idea
of the Importance of the North LouIsi-
ana territory from an oil producing
standpoint.
Practically every field in the United
States has been widely advertised and
expolted all over the country and
largely developed by small inde pendent
operators. This condition has not been
true of North Louisiana fields, due to
the fact that in the early days of its
development the production was devel-
oped almost entirely by the three large
companies the Gulf. Texas and Stand
ard Oil companies.
From the standpoint of cost of op-
Grating and cost of developing. the
North Louisiana field is the cheapes st
proposition in the United States to -dav
Production is found at depths ranging
from 1,400 10 2,700 feet, with drilling
costs ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, as

Norwegian Patents Device
For Radio Iclegraphv Us

According to "Norges Handels og
Sjofartstidcnde' OF May 6, Engineer
Hermod Peterson has recently patented
device for the production of electrical
current for radlo-t teegraphy The cleo
tricity is received BY. an accumulator,
which releases it at certain intervals.
The system is sparklese, and the
sounds are clearer than in the older
Inventions The clcarncss of sound
depends upon the regularity of the
current, and with this system the cur
rent is released with a mathematical
exactness. The device has further ad-
Vantages in that it is cheaper, simpler,
and more durable than those now in
use.
If the claims made for this inven-
tion prove we'll founded it is thought
that it will mark distinct step in
advance Of what has so far been
accomplished in this line, and hence
its possibilities are creating consider
able interest in the radio world.
