PROFESSIONALS
CRACK SAFEAT
READFLELD DEPOT
fSpccial to Kennebec JournaD


Readfield. Oct. 1.-the postoff1ce at
Readfield Depot was broken into Fri
day morning about o'clock and the
safe blown, the robbers getting away
, with about $50 in cash and several
notes which, however, will be worth
j less.
No clue has been found as to the
identity of the robbers. and it is be-
lieved by the people of the town that
the work was done by professionals.
The usual method, employing soap
| and nitroglycerine was used and 1t is
believed that it must have been
necessary to "shoot" the safe at least
twice as both the heavy outside door
and the lighter inner door were blown
! out.
The money and the notes were in
the same pocketbook and were taken
together. The exact amount of
money gone is not known but it was
estimated to be about $50.
The clock in the store. which Is
conducted by the n. T. Gordon Co.,
stopped at o'clock. presumably be-
cause of the force Of the explosion
hich blew out all of the windows
and wrecked the inside of the post
Office.
People living near the postoffice
heard the explosion but as it was not
very loud they did not realize what
it was. Oscar Chesley. the nearest
resident to the postoffice did not hear
the blast at all. but Charles A. Handy
who lives across the road did hear it,
The opinionNof the people of the town
is that the robbers came in an auto
and left Immediately upon finishing
the job.

SEATTLE WOMAN
RAPS SCHOOL LAW
Mrs. Flanagan Declares 1910
Plan Will Greatly Increase
School Taxes

Mrs. Sarah Flanagan, of Seattle
representative of the State Fedora
tion Of Tax Payers association ad-
dressed two meetings in Kenne-
wick Wednesday in the interest of
a tax reduction program.
At 1890 Mrs. Flanagan spoke
to number of women who as
sembled at the home of Mrs. C. E.
Edwards. A feature of the meet
ing was the preliminary organi-
cation of a womens committee to
work for lower taxes generally and
to oppose the 3O-10 school plan on
the ground that it will increase
taxation.
Mrs. Flanagan was a speaker at
the noon luncheon of the CONNER
cial club. She briefly pointed out
that during the past five years the
states tax bill had increased SOC
per cent, and the bonded debt in
seven years had increased $85, ,O00,-
600 and the per capita debt is
now $139.87.
She argued that the 30-10 school
plan will increase the school taxes
approximately $4,OOO,0OO and call
ed upon all members of the Com
mercial club to vote and work
against the measure.

Russell Not Discouraged

President Edward S. Russell of
the Wenatchee Southern railway,
when told of the examiners report
said that while the report of one
of the commissions examiners
might be unfavorable, this does
not indicate what the action of the
commission will do.
The question of granting the ap-
plication of the Wenatchee South
ern has not yet been argued be-
fore the commission, nor has the
recommendation of the state sup
ervision of transportation been
submitted to the interstate COM
merce commission. Until this is
done no final action will be taken
by that body. The Wenatchee
Southern VII continue to press its
application for a certificate of con-
venience and necessity before the
interstate commerce commission.
