POLICE SEARCHING
FOR ROBBERS OF
BURLINGTON HOME

The police arc today endeavoring
to discover the robbers who boldly
entered the home of Edwin l.. Shut
tlcworth, superintendent of the Win
ooski mill, yesterday morning and
entering the room where he and his
wife were sleeping robbed them of
valuable pearl necklace and gold
watch.
The Shuttlcworth home is on Main
street, just above the corner of Will
lard, and the crooks evidently knew
the lay of the land perfectly for they
manoeuvred so that their entrance,
which was made through a rear base
mcnt window, was at such time
that the officer on the beat was far
thest from the house.
Gaining entrance to the house the
men, for it is believed that there were
two of them, made their way to the
second floor of the home and evident
ly carrying out a prc-arranged plan,
they went Immediately to the bed
room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Shut
tlcworth.
On the dresser in this room lay
necklace of pearls, the property of
Mrs. Shuttlcworth, and reported to be
worth considerable sum of money,
although no value was set upon the
stones yesterday; also nearby was
valuable gold watch, the property
of Mr.. Shuttleworth. The thieves
took both of these articles and were
apparently searching about for more
when they awakened the occupants
of the room.
AS soon as Mr.. Shuttlcworth had
stirred and before he could make an
effort to stop the thieves or even to
get view of them, they hustled from
the room, ran down the stairs and
with an evident knowledge of the
premises made for an obscure side
door that let them out into side
street, where they quickly made their
getaway.
Neither Mr.. Shuttleworth or the
police would have anything to say
regarding the robcbry, although it is
presumed that he reported the mat
ter to the authorities; in fact, invcs-
tigators were seen about the home,
which is located on one of the resi-
dental sections of the city, all the
The thieves left no clue other than
that their work indicated some
knowledge of the premises and also
indicated that they were not anna
teurs, for they passed up valuable
stuff downstairs and went directly to
the sleeping quarters, where the
necklace and other valuables were
kept.
1t is believed that other articles will
be found missing but there was no
way of confirming this fact, because
of the reluctance of Mr.. Shuttleworth
to discuss the matter.

| The speaker made an interesting
outline of what could be done by COM
bincd work in carrying the spirit OF
the church into every household. He
said that the church work could be
better carried into every family. The
church could combine for social up
lift, studying motion pictures,
strengthen the Improvement associa-
ton work and enjoy Old Home days
and community ricnics.
In the final analysis the pastor said
we could not go forward and win un-
less our relation with Him were right
and VIC must make the effort to work
as Jesus did.
Four young ladies: Miss Margaret
Z. Warden, Miss Hester M. McLarcn,
Elsie j. McLaren and Mary l.. Ward
en-, sang in excellent voice.
Rev. Mr.. Pierce of the Baptist
church at Passumpsic, spoke on "The
Things That Make for Stronger
Faith"
He said the gathering reminded
him of his boyhood days when he
drove three miles over the roads to
attend church. He spoke of the hardy
country people as the strongest
church gocrs of the nation. He said
the crying need of the world was for
"a Greater Faith" He said people
attended church but that some were
without the Power of God. He said
the church must do the ground work
of religion.
He made strong appeal for reli-
Gion in the home. Hc said the Bible
should become the fixed institution
of the home. He said that without
the Bible the preacher was working
on uncultivated soil when the people
came into the church.
In telling what the church did for
its members, he said: "It holds you
to your good intentions, it increases
your faith, it calls you into Christian
service and it helps you to show your
colors."
He spoke of Religious infdels-
the people who profcsscd the faith
but did not live up to it. He said
that times are never so dangerous
as when the church is satisfied with
itself. He said that faith comes with
the hearing of the word and people
must attend church to hear the word.
Hc said the Sunday school was an
other place to hear the word.
lie spoke convincingly of The power
of the Bible in the nome to- the boy OF
girl until they are twelve years cid.
Then he said that if the father sub
stitutcd the Bible for the Sunday
stituted the Sunday newspaper for
the Bible and did not attend church
the boy wriftcd from the
church never to come back. He said
the boy would do what "his dad did"
He made strong appeal for moth
ers to keep their DAUGHTERS in church
after they were twelve years old ard
for fathers to attenl church after
that age as an example to their boys.
He said that once outside of .he
church the boys seldom come back
and when one generation abandons
the church it takes some effort or
some calamity in their family TO get
them back into the faith.
Mr.. Pierce's appeal made a strong
effect upon his hearers.
The service closed shortly after 4
o'clock and for an hour there were
informal gatherings and many happy
parties about the church ground
completing ono of the finest church
days in the history of Barnet.

 WITH VOLUNTEERS
IRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 2S-Plans for manning the strip pit mines of the Kansas coal fields with volunteer work CTS next week were discussed at a conference here tonight between Gov ernor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, and Major General Leonard Wood, com mander of the central department of the army.
 Governor Allen and Adjutant General Charles l. Martin of Kansas, outlined to General Wood and his adjutant Colonel Ralph Harrison the plan by which several thousand volunteer workers will be sent into the strip pit coal fields of the state. Governor Allen said the principle matter taken up was of getting supplies to the coal fields of the volunteer workers. He said he could not discuss other features of the conference.
 The first contingent of volunteer miners will be sent to the coal fields next Monday, Governor Allen said As rapidly as they can be taken care of, others will be rushed to the fields un- til several thousand men are at work. The governor said lists of more than 4,0O0 volunteers had been prepared, adding he expected the number would reach 5000.
 We have enough men to put into the fields at orce to operate 15 steam shovels," said the governor. By the middle of next week we expect to be turning out 10000 tons of coal a day.
 A large proportion of the volunteer miners, the governor said, are mem bers of the American Legion, while large numbers are students at college and universities of the state.
 Final plans for sending supplies to the coal fields were worked out at to- nights conference. it was said Late tonight it was announced Gen eral Wood had placed at the states disposal all of the supplies and equip ment necessary to properly care for the volunteer coal diggers. The ma terial, it was said. would be sent from Camp Funston and Fort Leavenworth Kansas, and St. Louis.
 Army tents for housing the workers blankets, heavy clothing, movable kitchens and, if needed. motor cars and cooks, will be forthcoming, it was stated. In addition the state of Kansas will furnish whatever equipment is ] available there.
 It has been announced that state | troops would be used to protect the volunteer miners, but whether fedora | troops would be employed could not bt | learned. Tn talk here today Genera Wood said we cant do too much tC support the American Legion

MISSOURI GOVERNOR
 ID GALL CONFERENCE

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 2S.-Goy- ernor Frederick D. Gardner of Mis- souri, announced tonight he had not yet received a reply from Dr. H. A. Garfield, federal fuel administrator, to his inquiry as to what action the gov ernment intended to take in the coal situation and that he would not call a conference of governors and attor- neys general of coal producing states to consider the situation until he heard from Dr. Garfield.
 Governor Gardner is chairman of the committee on profiteering ap- pointed at the recent meeting of gov- ernors in Salt Lake City and in calling the coal conference he expects to use his authority as committee chairman.
 Governor Gardner said it seemed to be intimated in press dispatches from Washington today that she govern ment intended to take over the mines, in which case it would not be necessary for him to call the proposed confer ence. In the event that a reply from Dr. Garfield did not disclose any def mite plan of action, Governor Gard ner said he would at once call the con- ference to "see what the governors would do.'
 We've got to play ball with this thing" said the governor. "The situat ton is such that we must have coal in large quantities to supply all needs and we must have it soon."
 The proposed conference, Governor Gardner said, will be held in Chicago probably Monday or Tuesday. He said tonight he proposed to invite al governors who cared to attend

Felipe Angeles Embraced Judge
 Before He Died
[ Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

JUAREZ, Mexico, Nov. 2S.-A few minutes before he was execut- ed, General Felipe Angeles, rebel leader who was put to death in Chi huahua City Wednesday, embraced one of his judges, General J. Con zalo Escobar, commander of the Juarez military district, accord ing to word brought here tonight by General Escobar upon his ar rival from the state capital.
 ''The best proof that Angeles realized that the sentence we inn posed was just, was note that he wrote to me on small slip of paper a short time before he was shot" said General Escobar. I have this note with me now. In a few words he said he had writ ten the note as an expression of affection toward one of his judges. and to prove that in his soul there remained no i'll will toward those who had tried him or toward the constitutionalist party.
 T think all the members of the court personally felt sorry for An geles, but they had to do their duty according to the law. At the same time, l believe that General An tgeles would have had more sym pathy from the people if he had not lowered himself by joining forces with Francisco Villa"

 DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 2S-An American negro who deserted re- gently from the Tenth U. s. cav airy, is reported to be the leader of a band of approximately 300 Yaqui Indians who raided the eastern part of the Moctezuma dis trict early this month. The mans name could not be learned from the arrivals. At last report the fed eral forces under General Juan Torres, military commander of Sonora, still were in pursuit of the Indians near Tonichi. The reds were believed to be heading for their stronghold in the Bavatete mountains.
 Sam Suplee. foreman for the Nina Mexico, in the Sahuaripa dis trict said he dined recently with the general at the Progresso mine. The general expressed the inten- tioh of subduing the Indians if it were possible, in order to bring more foreign capital into the state. badly needed not only to furnish revenue but employment. The h. dians have adopted caSics similar to those of the Apache in early American border history, scatter ing at the first sign of trouble, leaving many trails. any one of which, when followed, would lead to the next meeting place of the Indians, but several hours after they again have taGen the trail as a band.
