SLIGHT LOSS IN
ROBBERY or BANK
At cENTRAHoMA
Yeggmen Enter Vault at
Night; Cash Taken.

CENTRAH0MA. Okla, Oct IL
Special, ,)-Yeggmen blew the vault
OF the Peoples State bank of Ccn,ra
homa last night, got 500 or $3.50 in
cash belonging TO the bank and an
unknown quantity OF Liberty bonds
owned by customers, and escaped
withou, leaving a trace.
A. NJ. Stuart, cashier OF the bank,
discovered the robbery on opening the
bank his morning. II is assumed that
the robbery was staged at II o'clock
last night, since several persons liv-
ing near the bank said they heard
faint explosion a, that hour.
The robbers failed to open the safe
within the vault, which contained a
quantity OF money and Liberty bonds
belonging TO the bank
So quietly did the yeggnen work
that the Ccn,rahoma police have no
clue az TO their identity. Ii is as
sumed that the robbers left town i'm
mediately after the robbery in an
automobile.
The bank officers are checking up
the Liberty bond losses today 10 as
oerrSM the extent OF the robbery.

Coal Reserve Low.
Even the shortest break in coal
production will affect the nation s.ri-
ously, il was learned today The
estimates OF coal now on hand in the
country, which have been prepared
by the United States geological sur
yey, show that there is bu, little coal
in reserve. 1t was understood tina,
the railroads have hardly more than a
ten days supply in reserve, and tina,
great numbers OF manufacturing
plants have hut a few days supply OF
coal in storage. The estimates in.
dicated that even few days cessation
OF work would create a shortage tina,
would cause suffering during the en-
tire winter.

open break today, II was understood

FLOODS THREATEN
MARYLAND HOMES

Residents Of Yyattsville and Bla-
densbrg, Nd, are fearing that their
homes will probably be flooded If the
rains of the past week continue, and
will possibly be carried away.
Eastern and western branches OF
the Anacostia river at Hyattsville are
continuing to overflow their banks.
The low country all through that sec
ton is inundated. The low level
conditions of the country make i'm
possible the rapid carrying of OF the
water, and consequences may be
serious.
The water has reached the top of
the bridge on the Washington-Balti-
more pike between Hyattsville and
Bladensburg. II the waters continue
rising most of Bladensburg will be
flooded
This condition is an annual affair
and residents are somewhat used to
it but the continued heavy downpours
Of the past week cause graver con-
ditions than usual.
The Potomac above Georgetown
has become dangerously swift.
Rivermen warn that canoeing on the
Potomac today is dangerous. 1t
is expected that when the high stage
of Shenandoah river water reaches
here the Potomac will rise at least
foot. 1t is already six inches higher
than normal. Precautions have been
taken along the riverside so that
great damage is not expected.
