Spartanburg, Dec. "A yeggman or
yeggmen broke into the Aug. w. Smith
department store, cracked the safe
and secured approximately $1,000 in
cash and $1,000 in Liberty bonds and
war saving stamps some time Saturday
night or Sunday morning, it was dis
covered today when j. (B. lilies, a
clerk, entered the store about IL
o'clock this morning to write a let
ter.
indications according to the police
are that the job was done by experts,
who were familiar with mechanism
OF the safe. A hole was drilled near
the combination mob where the two
doors met and an iron pin inserted. BY
means Of a stel hoop-shaped brace
which. was placed around the safe, lew
erage was secured and great pressure
brought to bear on the pin which fin
ally caused the mechanism on the in:
side to yield. This released the steel
catches holding the doors shut and the
safe was opened. No explosives were
used.
Detectives are working on the
case, but have made 20 progress as
yet. They refused to discuss the rob-
berry tonight. The tools used were
left on the floor. Entrance was made
from the rear Of the store which is
situated on East Main street in the
heart OF the shopping district. There
was no light burning near the safe.
This is the fourth time within two
years that the department store has
been entered, III. Frank McGee, man
ager, stated tonight. The store car

SHALL SHERIFF
OCCUPY JAIL =?

ohcEiil held Has Moved Into Vacant
Rooms in New Jail, but May be
Forced to Move Out. Question
Haised by Supervisor.
Is the sheriff 8f the county to live
In the new county Jail, into which he
mas already moved, or will he have to
move out? The question will likely
nave to be decided by some higher
authority than now exists in the
county.
several weeks ago the jail commits
sion turned the new jail over to the
board of county commissioners, of
winch the supervisor Is ex-onicio
chairman When they turned the Jail
over into the hands of the county com
missioners, according to Supervisor
watts, they reported that it was not
In finished condition as funds had
not been sufficient to place cells on the
lower floor. Supervisor Watts, acting
FOR the county commissioners, in turn
delivered the keys of the Jail to
Sheriff Reid When the formality of
turning the keys over was gone
through the supervisor, as he says,
advised the sheriff that the Jail was
delivered for the keeping of prisoners
only. The intimation was, SO it is
understood, that the sheriff was not to
move his family into the. jail.
The sheriff, whether or not he gath
cred the full Significance of the SUPER
vlsor's remark, moved his family into
the Jail last week, occupying the lower
rooms Of the building originally in
tended to be used for cells but not
actually containing pr:son equipment.
When the board Of county commits
sioners met in annual session yester-
day Sheriff Reid was called to meet
with the commissioners and state his
claim for occupying the space he does
In the Jail. The Sheriff was out of
town. 1t is understood that he claims
that as the prisoners are in his Gus
tody and that as he is held RESPONSE
bic for them he has right to remain
In the jail and be near them More
over he contends that by staying In
the jail building himself he saves the
county the expense OF an extra jailer.
The Jail building has small room
and office for a jailer.
The contention Of Supervisor Watts
Is that the plans Of the Jail building
did not call for occupancy of so much
of it's space as living quarters that
without the space now occupied by the
sheriff the accommodations for pris-
Oners are inadequate since necessities
require that males, females, whites,
blacks, Juveniles and hospital patients
be held in different wards; and that
while the rooms occupied by the sheriff
are not fitted with cells they are in all
other respects as safe as the rooms
upstairs and may be used to advan-
tage for prisoners.
What steps are to be taken in the
matter have not been decided upon
or at least have not been dvulged.
Supervisor Watts, who incidentally
said that there was no personal mo-
tive on his part, intimated that he
might appeal to the state welfare
board or to the governor as means
Of arriving at an understanding.

ID DELEGATES AT LAUSSANE DE-
CLAIRE THAT BOSPHORUS AND
DA6DANELLES BELONG TO TUR-
KEY AND THAT TURKISH PEG
PIE ENTITLED TO FULL SOY.
EREIGNTY THERE.


Laussane, Dec. 4.-Thc fundamen-
tai position of Russia on the Bospho-
rous, the Sea OF Marmosa and the
straits of the Dardanelles was out
lined by foreign minister Tchnitcherin
who read prepared statement in
French, Of which the following offic-
1al summary was given out this after
noon:
The Russian delegation will strive
to attain two objects first, equality
of the positions and rights Of Rus
sia and her allies-The Ukraine and
Georgia-with the positions and
rights Of the other powers; second,
s safe guarding Of the peace and Sc
curity of the Russian territories, and
liberty Of their economic relations
with the other powers.
M. Tchnitcherin conceded that nav
igation and Pacific maritime com
munication in the Bosphorous, the
Sea Of Marmosa and the Dardanelles,
must be assured in the most absolute
manner and without restrictions He
said:
Maintenance Of peace on the
Black Sea and the security of it's
coasts, peace in the Near East and
the security Of Constantinople should
be guaranteed in a durable manner.
Thls means that the Dardanelles and
the Bospherous, in time OF peace as in
time Of wt1, ought ID be constantly
closed to the .warships and armed ves-
sels, as we'll as the military airplanes
OF all countries except Turkey, only
In this way can liberty of peaceful
navigation in these waters be cffec-
tually guaranteed"
M. Tchnitchcrin continued bv saw
ing that the Russian government start
ed with the elementary fact that the
B0sphorous and the Dardanelles be-
long to Turkey and that the Turkish
people are entitled to full sovereignty
over their territory and waters.
M. Tchnitcherln said Turkey could
effectively defend her waters against
attack by possessing the right to
fortify and arm her coasts by pos
sessing fleet of warships and by
utilizing for her defense every tech
nicaNmeans of modern warfare.
M. Tchniitcherin then passed to
what was interpreted as an allusion
TO England. He said:
ur1noi,or tho
ships conforms to the principle of
equality between states. Throwing
them open will give preponderating
position to the strongest maritime
Power."
Russia and her allied republic,
M. Tchnitcherin argued, had 10 ag-
gressi~e, bellicose, militaristicl de-
signs against the liberty OF other peo-
pies; therefore they were in necu-
liar position to watch over the inter-
ests of the working masses and to
contribute to the worlds economic
development. Their solution was tho
only possible solution of the straights
problem.
Tho Russian leader added:
Soviet Russia in annnlling without
compensation the agreements touch
ing upon the return Of Constantinople
to Russia, and in liberating all the
countries on the Mediterranean basin
from the former menace and ambitions
OF Czarism, will never permn a settle
