RAMPANT
in SALEM
5 Homes of Prominent
People Visited Last
Night; Loot Valued
at $3.50

Burglars who chose as their
hunting grounds Salem's most
fashionable residence district last
night visited five homes and es-
capped with money and valuables
said to have been worth approx
mately $3.50.
All of the cases were investi-
gated by the police who are of the
opinion that the robberies were
committed by one group of profess
sional workers.
In all but one case entrance was
gained through windows at the
different homes. The exception
was at the residence of Homer
Smith, insurance man who resides
at CTS Summer street. At the
Smith home the burglars failed to
get inside.
Rob Children's Bank.
The houses robbed were as fol-
lows:
Herbert Stiff, furniture dealer,
1895 North Summer street.
Lewis Griffith, lumberman,
1867 Court street.
L. II. Roberts, retired rancher,
1887 North Winter street.
William McGilchrist Jr, broker,
sos North Summer street.
At the Stiff home the thieves
gained entrance by jimmying
open a window In the front OF the
house. After ransacklng the house
the burglars escaped with a dia-
mond stick pin valued at $3.50
which had been left on q dining
table and about $40 in silver
which they removed from a chlld's
savings bank.
Only 25 Cents Gone.
Although they made search
Of the house, the thieves obtained
but 25 cents from the home of Mr..
Griffith, according to the police.
Entrance was gained through a
window on the west side of the
house.
An open-face gold watch, a gold
chain and a quantity OF small
change made up the haul which
was taken from the Roberts home.
The thieves made their way in by
kitchen window in the north end
Of the residence.
No money or jewellery were stol-
en- from the McGIlchrist home,
but a small camera was taken. En-
trance was gained through a win
dow in the front Of the house.
Speed and Skill Shown.
Some idea Of the skill and dis
patch with which the burglars op-
Grated may be seen in the fact that
none Of the robberies was discov-
cred until this morning.
Police were thoroughly inyesti-
eating this afternoon but no ar
rests had been made ct q late
hour.

Liquor Sold to Soldiers
Finally Run Down.

Following q search OF more than
four months for the moonshine still
which has been the chief source OF
bootleg liquor for soldiers of Camp
Humphreys. the Internal Revenue
Bureau announced today that the
still was located in a ravine this
morning by Agents William H. Parr
and George Fowler.
When located the still was In full
operation and was being tended by
Bessie Shelton, aged thirty.four

OF the woman. Search for the

being found about a mile from his
home plowing on another part OF
the Shelton farm, which is located
near Lorton, about three miles from
Camp Humphreys.
Charley Shelton, the woman's
husband, and James Shelton, lis
brother were locked up in the Alex

small children. A preliminary hear
ing will be given the trio today oe.

without results, when the case WAS
turned over to the Washington In.
ternal Revenue Bureau.
According to Agent Parr the Shel
tons have made a small forturl
selling liquor to the soldiers. The
daily capacity Of the still was about
twenty-five gallons and they were
charging $40 per gallon the agents

Fined AS Speeder,
Takes Jail Term
Instead

If somebody tipped off
Thomas C. Burrell, of 1919
Eleventh street northwest, that
Judge Mcmahon was a speed
king" when it came to SEN
fencing speeding motorists, he
apparently didn't believe it.
But he's a changed man now.
And here's why:
1856 a. m. today-Nabbed
for speeding by Policeman
Willard D. Vaughn, of Fourth
precinct, at Sixth street and
Missouri avenue.
S:57-The sad march to
Police Court begins.
9:07-Arrives at Police
Court.
9:O8-"Next case" bawls
His Honor.
9:1O-"Twenty-five dollars
or thirty days in Jail.
9:12-Not having $25, Bur-
rell joined the "army Of mar
tyrs" ant soon was speeding
jailward.
Moral: II you WILL insist
on speeding, make sure Police
man Vaughn doesn't arrest you
and make double sure Judge
Mcmahon is not sitting in
Police Court.

2RENT BOARD
MEMBERS MAY
BEHELD OVER
Harding Expected to Name
Three Lawyers on New
Commission.

Two members, at least, of the pres
ent District Rent Commission will
serve ON the new board OF five. II was
predicted in official circles today.
1t has been pointed out to Presi-
dent Harding that considerable con-
fusion would result IL an entirely
new commission was named by him.
This means that William F. GUIDE
and either A. Leftwich Sinclair or
Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, or perhaps
all three, will continue to serve, be-
cause Of their experience.
The new rent law imposes 30
much additional work on the com
mission that 1t would be virtually
impossible for 1t to function with
three members, as under the origi-
nal regulations, or even with ma
tority of members who are not law
yers.
To Have Three Lawyers.
The name of Gus A. Schuldt, we'll
known Washington lawyer, today
was added to the list of prospective
appointees. 1t Is understood that, in
view of the new conditions, the
President will name at least three
LAWYERS on the commission, and that
one OF these will be a woman.
Among the stipulations OF the ex.
tension law is one requiring that, as
soon as practicable after the passage
of the bill and semi-annually there
after. the commission shall publish
a full report OF its determinations,
opinions and other decisions. to-
gether with cumulative index
digest.
This work, 1t is believed. will de-
mand the exclusive services Of one
member Of the board, and may neces-
state enlargement Of the commits
sion's working force.
Work More Difficult.
Under the terms OF the law the
commission also is asked to go into
exhaustive details in fixing rents.
The requirements are so comprehen-
sive that they will result in protract-
ed hearings and in much additional
statistical work.
1t is expected that, after the ap-
pointment of the full board, the
body will ask the Public Buildings
Commissions to find quarters for
them in a Government build
ing, as the present offices will be
inadequate In n short time.

Nominations for the five new
members of the District Rent Com.
mission in all probability will go to
the Senate within a week or ten
days. it was said by officials to-
day. That no time will be lost in
their selection is indicated by the
fact that Senator l.. Heisler Ball.

confer with President Harding on
the nominations before the end Of
the present week.
