LOST LIBERTY BONDS IN
DARING THEFT.
BIG SECURITIES GONE
TAKEN FROM STRONG BOX IN

western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, March 2-One of the most
startling robberies perpetrated in
years, enacted in the heart of the
Denver financial district. astonished
the police when officials of the Mid
west Refining Company, with offices
on the eighth and ninth floors of the
First National Bank building. re-
ported the loss of S1S,35O in Liberty
bonds, which disappeared from the Of
flee of Henry A. Jones, treasurer of
the company, some time between = 80
O'Clock Saturday afternoon and 8 80
yesterday morning.
Appearances indicate that the theft
was what the police term IAN inside
job"-the work of someone familiar
with the office surroundings.
The bond burglary affords a paral
lei TO similar Liberty bond thefts in
the New York financial district re-
Gently which caused police all over
the United States concern. with alb
solutcly no tangible clew, the author
tiles have begun an investigation, De-
tcctive George Sanders being assigned
To the case.
There is not the slightest evidence
that Il sneak thief unfamiliar with the
office could have robbed the treas
urer's desk, which apparently had
been opened with key.
Inside the desk an iron strong box
which held the bonds was found with
its lid pried open and the contents,
$4,000 in Liberty bonds of all de-
nominations and $500 of personal Sc
curiticS, missing.
Treasurer Jones reported the rob-
berry 10 the police Immediately after
he had opened the desk and noted the
loss. He declared to the police that
he had left the box inside his desk,
securely locked, Saturday afternoon.
As he left the offices on the ninth
floor of the bank building, he said, he
noticed several clerks perusing the
lcdge"s and accounts, working Satur-
day afternoon, which is Il half-hOli-
day, To catch up.
The missing bonds were held by the
treasurer for distribution among en-
ployes as they made final payments
for them by time subscription ar
rangement The police say that the
bonds are not registered, and thus are
readily negotiable.
That the robbery is the work of II
person familiar with Mr.. Jones' office
Is evidenced by the fact, the police
say, that the burglar entered office
number 800, that of the treasurer,
without molesting any of the dozens
of other private offices. Nothing but
the strong box within the desk was
tempered with, the robber going di-
rectly to the box and making away
with his loot quickly and quietly.

Increase in Trolley Fares.

The increase Of fares on trolley lines
seems TO have assumed the form of an
endemic in Pennsylvania, and the people
in that State are realizing that travel by
trolley is becoming sn expensive luxury
Thirty lines, covering a wide area Of
country adjacent TO Reading, Lebanon
and Lancaster, have just been permitted
TO increase their rates from seven to eight
cents. while lines operating from and In
Norrlstoun are TO raise the fare from eight
to nine cents.
Despite the largely populated sections
through which these roads traverse, it is
obvious they are unable to earn 'fair"
return on the capital, at seven cents and
turn to the increase as final hope Of over
coming the operating shortage. Whether
this will OF will not decrease the volume
of travel, as has been the result of sd-
vances in other sections, is the question
that confronts the managers Of almost all
trolley lines. Patrons Of those railways
object to paying eight cents or more per
mile for transportation, which is the
average in sections adjacent 10 cities and
towns where the distance they travel is
sbcrt, and from whence the principal
part Of the traffic. comes.

School Teachers in Politics.

An interesting situation has been
raised by the action Of the superintendent
of the Howard Negro school in this city
in suspending woman teacher Of his
staff for absenting herself from school for
day in order to attend a political con-
ference. He explained that absence at
this time, when the schools are still
wrestling with opening details, unusually
delayed this year. was serious matter,
and in this he was right.
The incident also raises the pertinent
question of the propriety Of public school
teachers taking an active part IN partisan
politics, even during the hours they are of
duty. It has generally been held that
teachers should abstain from participation
in political activity, and there IS much
TO support this position. For teacher to
neglect duty in order 70 take part IN
political work seems much like an Offend

ARE PEOPLE FED UP ON WAR?

Librarians report a notable falling away
of interest in war books Publishers have
notified story writer's and dramatists that
books and plays dealing with the war no
longer find ready market. Axwell- known
author recently declared that fhe public is
tired of war and all that pertains thereto.
No doubt there is much truth in this
contention, but it does not mean that the
people will give up their memories of the
great conflict or that they are going to
forget the great sacrifices made.
For four years and more the world was in
a state of constant excitement. Some let
down must inevitably follow. This is per-
fectly natural. The unbalanced or insane
person cannot let subject go, but dwells
upon it to the point of obsession. 1t is
the mark OF sanity to release one idea for
another.
Psychologists say that even a highly de-
veloped intellect cannot focus continuous
ly on one thing more than quarter OF an
hour at time. How then can it be ex-
pected that the aggregate of individuals

A MUNIFICENT GIFT.

Nothing more magnificent in the WAY
of tribute 10 the soldiers OF the world
war has been suggested than the offer OF
the knights of columbus to the American
Legion to erect In the National capital q
suitable building In memory of those
heroes who gave up their lives on the
battlefelds of France. While the offer has
not yet been formally made to officials
of the legion, there is little doubt that
it viii be accepted and that Washington
ultimately will see the erection here of a
building OF monumental character, add
ing TO the beauty and convenience of the
nations capital.
This muni6cent gift is 70 be provided
out of the fund of $40, coo, 900 collected
by the Knights of Columbus for war pur-
poses. No one can doubt that it will
meet the approval of the donors to that
fund. The building is to cost 81 ,0O0, 900,
with another million set aside as an en-
dowment fund for IT'S upkeep. Should the
American Legion cease TO exist. the title
to the memorial will pass to the United
States.
This proposed memorial may fill one
OF the greatest needs of Washington by
providing an auditorium seating 10000
people. The announcement of the gnt
sets forth that the building is to be devoted
as far as possible, to the public use and
the public welfaie. If the purely military
uses of the building can be provided for
without conflicting with the public use
of the auditorium, every need will have
been met. Some cities, however, have
found that armories could not be devoted
to permanent auditorium purposes. No
doubt this question will be met and dis
posed of at the proper time.-Washington

Woek Fer Price-Fixing Agency

Aprrnt fair price commissioner, so
that q hoard for looking after the matter
of fair prices may be put into operation
ir this community If there is authority

II also is q cause for wonder TO learn
that for hah-pint bottle Of witch hazel,
