NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 6:-An
attempt at robbery in the jewelry
store of o. o. Stillman, 1913 Albany
street, shortly before z O'Clock last
night, was frustrated by a sixteen
year-old boy employed at the store
wEo saw a la in the store working
on one of the safes and notified the
police. Although no arrests were
made the robber, or robbers, were
scared away before they had an OPP
p%ortunity to take anything from the
store. An automobile, bearing a
New York license number, was seen
to speed from a side street shortly
after the police received the report
of the attempted robbery, and con-
tinued down Albany street across
the bridge, disappearing toward
Highland Park.
There we're four safes in the
jewelry store, two of which contain
ed articles of much value. These
w were not touched, the thieves Sc
lecting the wrong safes for their OPP
erations. Entrance was gained by
forcing a back window after a bar
had been cut away. A hand-drill
was used to bore the holes in the
safe, after which crow-bars were re-
sorted to to pry open the doors
Nothing was disturbed In either safe
which the men succeeded in open
ing.
1t is the custom of the jeweler TO
have a boy employe meet the janitor
about z o'clock on Sunday night in
order that the %janitor might fix the
furnace for the night. The boy ar
rived at the store a little before the
usual hour and saw a man working
over one of the safes. He went to
the police and told them of what he
saw. Several officers were gotten
and the party returned to the store
only to find it empty.

the payment of, poll taxes for 1919
compared with 1918, but the Fourth
