GREINER SAFE IS
VICTIM OF YEGGS
Burglars Break Open Safe
in Office of Nash Auto
mobile Dealers.
LITTLE FOR TROUBLE

The safe of the Greiner-Nash COM
pany, dealers in Nash automobiles, was
opened by burglars sometime late Sun
day night or, early this morning and
the pared nail artist secured for his
trouble, which must have been consid-
cradle, the sum of $3.50. Entrance TO
the salesroom and service station on
Wisconsin street was made through
one of the rear windows of the build
ing and the safe expert evidently knew
just what he was looking for. The
safe was of an old fashioned type and
had at one time been the property Of
George Yule. 1t is of the one tumbler
variety and evidently the safe expert
did not have great deal of trouble
opening it, After opening the main
door of the safe, the door leading to
small compartment was broken open
with cold-chisel.
Compartment Never Opened Before.
$50 far as the Greiner-Nash com
pany is concerned, we are just $3.50
out" said Joseph Gaffney of the COM
pany this morning. "We do not know
what was in this little compartment"
he continued, as he pointed to the
broken iron door. "The safe belonged
to. Mr.. Yule before we had it and we
have never been able to get a key
which would open this. one particular
little compartment and Mr.. Yule did
not have key to it. 1t might have
contained a million dollars for all
know" It was admitted that efforts
to open this one particular compart-
ment had not been very successful and
this fact seems to indicate that the
man who opened the safe was consider
able of an expert.
The robbery was reported to the po-
lice but no arrests have been made in
tha case. This is the second time that
the safe in the same Building has been
the victim of burglars. The safe of
Hansen & Robbins in the same build
ing was opened some years ago and
the thieves got small sum of money
at that time.

Mayer Pharmacy is
Entered by Thieves

For the second time in the last few
weeks, thieves broke their way into
the Mayer Pharmacy, located at 1876
Rowland avenue, late Sunday night or
early this morning. The robbery was
discovered this morning when Manager
Phelan came to the store and discov-
cred that about $50 worth of cigarettes
and tobacco had been taken from the
cases. The thieves had broken their
way into the store by a window in the
rear Of the building and had ransacked
the shelves, evidently looking for a
supply of liquor, which was to be sold
on prescription.
Thieves who entered the store sew
eral weeks ago took all of the liquor
on hand and the company has not had
time to replenish its store. A new
shipment had been expected on Satur4
day but failed to reach here. It is be-
lieved that the thieves knew that more
liquor was expected and had broken
into the store in hopes of securing it,
Failing in finding it, they took all the
cigarettes they could find and a small
amount Of change in the cash register.
The thieves left the store boldly by the
side door and left it standing wide
open.

Through the creation of national
railway service, as proposed in the
plan, to be purchasing agency for
cars and other equipment to be leased

This record was joint ly held by the Yale university quar- tet, which. six years later, while competing in the Pennsylvania relay games, covered the distance in the same time.
 No team of American runners has ever raced the distance with such speed.
