The opening of the safe still re-
mains a mystery. for unless the safe
was left open, which, according to
authorities. Is highly improbable. the
combination was known to the rob-
bers.
Lieutenant Detective Lawrence A.
Long stated this morning that his
department expects results shortly
ard arrests may be made within the
next two days. Lieutenant Detec-
tive John Huff was detailed on the
case Saturday morning. and IS al
present working on clues obtained
at the schools. The finding of the
bonds spread around the stairway
leading to the third floor OF the
building throws a different light on
the robbery, and Lieutenant Long
is quite confident that the robbery
was the work of young amateurs
Although 1t was possible that
there were two different gangs re-
-eponsible for the school robberics
it is the belief of the police that
the mischief makers might have first
visited School No. ., and then visit
ed the high school. The police are
of the opinion that the persons who
visited the high school. did not &C

that there was an unusual amount
of valuables in the building, as the
leaving of the bonds, coupons and
money shows.

All Stolen Bonds Except
One Found At High School
Get No Clue To Thieves

The discovery of all the bonds
except one, which were taken in the
high school robbery Friday night
has given no clue to the identity OF
the robbers except to convince the
authorities that the layout of the
school building was familiar to the
guilty ones. The bonds. amounting
to $3.50 and belonging to the several
schools of the city were all found on
the stairway between the second and
third floors. with the exception OF
one bond whose coupon was torn
off and left with the other docu-
ments.
= Evidences of the robbers visit to
the third floor we're left in the form
of cigarette butts and a disordered
desk in one of the rooms which faces
Hobart street. The theory at this
time Is that this room was picked
with the knowledge that 1t received
light from the lights on Hobart street

was familiar to the unknown raiders.

10y -NCNS SOAANSPOhdtht-J
TRENTON, Feb. 2S.-The vote
of the Wallworth bill to create a
new Public Utility Commission of
three members, each to receive s12,-
900 per year. is expected to be sent
to the legislature when it recon-
venes tonight. The feeling here to-
day is that the governor will not
stand for this bill in its present
shape, at least SO long as it elm
mates the clause in the original utili-
ty act of 1911, which vested in the
Office of the Chief Executive the
power to remove members of this
body upon charges being preferred
and a hearing given the accused.
Thus it is anticipated that the
eighth week of the present ses-
sion of the legislature will open
this evening with the vexing utili-
ty board problem as far away from
during the long controversy over this
subject. This too in face of the
fact that the state is being de-
prived. while the political forces
and other interests jockey, of the
services of an important state body
and the question of the ten cent
fare and regulation of rates and
the services of many companies are
held in abeyance.
Among the hearings scheduled
for today is that before the senate
judiciary committee on the Parry
bill relating to the time-worn ques-
ton about the Morris Canal. The
only other senate scheduled hear
ing for this afternoon is on the
bill presented by Senator Heath, of
Mercer. which is before the COM
mittee on Labor and Industries. and
which would authorize corporations
to pay their employees by check.
The annual appropriation bill has
been whipped into shape by Senator
Whitney's committee and is expect
ed to be introduced tonight. 1t is
understood that it will closely follow
the budget recommended by Cover
nor Edwards and will total approx
imately $15.000,000 for the support
of the state government for the fis-
cal year starting July 1 next. The
budget message Of Mr.. Edwards
called for a recommendation
amounting to s15.325.7Ss.
The bill will carry a tentative item
of 100000 to equip the proposed
state constabulary. This, of course.
Is contingent upon the Case bill TO
esta blish this force which has been
weeks, because its hackers have been
unable to get the required eleven
votes to pass in that body.
Tie time limit for the introduce
tion of new bills. except by unani-
nous consent. having expired last
week. beginning tonight the senate
and assembly will devote their time
to the consideration of the measures
that are already before them.
As the lawmakers gathered today
the startling denunciation issued by
.srs Margaret B. Laird. the Essex

BILE" rule of the men in the law
making body by handful of Re-
publican women was the subject of
considerable attention. Mrs. Laird.
