YEGGS CRACK SAFE
AT COCA COLA co
Secure S97.57 in Cash and
S83.05 in Checks at Local
Bottling Works.

Although the craftsmen that blew
open the 3OO-pound safe in the Of
flee Of the Coca Cola Co, Lincoln
way r and Sample St. some time
Thursday night or Friday morning
left very little evidence for the po-
lice to work on, the local depart
ment is said TO have picked up a
clue which may possibly lead TO their
apprehension.
The Coca Cola Co. reported that
$99.57 in cash and SS3.O5 in checks
was taken by the yeggs. This is the
third burglary of its kind in the last
two weeks, and the circumstances
under which the safe was blown has
convinced the police who are max
ing the investigation that the same
men are responsible for the safe
cracking job of the Indiana and Sin
clair Refining Co. offices.
Payment on the checks which
were taken, which the company had
an accurate account of, was stopped
Immediately after the discovery of
the robbery. Nothing of value, with
the exception of the money and the
checks, was stolen.
Charge of Soup"
A heavy charge of soup" was
used in blowing the safe, and to
drown the noise of the explosion
overalls belonging TO the company
drivers and stockmen and blankets
found on the premises were wrap
, ped tightly around the safe.
Chief of Police Peter Kline be-
lieves the robbery was staged as a
blind" TO throw suspicion off of
George Burns and Charles Cramer,
alleged safe blowers who were ar
| rested early Thursday morning at
the Palace hotel with a complete
outfit of burglars tools and safe
/ blowing apparatus in their posses
sion The police chife believes that
they are members of the same gang
that has been blowing safes for the
/ past fortnight

ANXIOUS FOR new

Federal Cases Would Be

ed by Congress.

South Bend attorneys foresee a
great convenience IN the future IL
the present bill before congress. pro-
viding for another federal district
court for Indiana. carries. Tais will
give the state two district courts. and
South BEND would be in the north
ern district, which. according 10 the
present draft OF the bill. would
make the court sit at Hammond. TT.
Wayne and South Bend
a graphic illustration OF the pos
slble saving IN expense and time has
been revealed in the number of Grim
inal cases alone that were heard be-
fore the sole Indiana district court
at Indianapolis. Had there been
a circuit for the northern half Of
the state. all cases could have been
heard in South Bend. Thus the ex-
pense OF travelling 10 Indianapolis
could have been saved by many wit
nesses. while attorneys would have
been saved consid cradle time.
Many Seek Bench.
The liquor cases now being heard
/ in the district court were there a
northern district, would be brought
TO South Bend under such conditions
and again a considerable saving OF
time and expense could be made.
Further II would relieve the pres
sure on the district court at Indiana
polls. although attorneys point out.
the federal court mas broader pow
ers than the state courts in expedit-
| ing business.
There is already some talk about
candidates for the district court.
The names Of TT. Wayne and Michi-
gan City judges are mentioned as are

none has been considered nor prob
/ ably will be until congress takes act

! ey calling Tor another district court.
Michigan Wants Third.
1t is pointed out further that out
side of New York city, the lone dis
I trict court of Indiana serves a great

Michigan already has two district
/ courts and has a bill pending in con-
/ gTess for the creation OF a third.
