The leading Saints departed from
Indianapolis Sunday night with all
four games of the Tribe series tucked
away in their bat bag. On Saturday
they won, to and on Sunday they
took the Indians down the fourth con-
secutive time, 4 to 2. Sheehan twirled
for the Saints and scored his nine
teenth victory of the season. Weaver
started for the Tribe and was knocked
out in the second inning. Jess Petty
relieved him and pitched splendid ball.
Sheehan was too good for the Tribe
and. though in danger occasionally,
he refused to crack and actually got
better in the late innings, striking out
two Indians in the ninth. Boone and
Berghammer for the Saints and
Yerkes and Sticking for the Indians
played bang-up ball on the infeld.
The Indians bumped into an unfor-
tunate break in the seventh that
spelled ruin. They had scored one
run and had men on second and first
with one out. Sticking crashed hard
grounder down the third base line that
looked good for two bases. Third Base
man Dresser half stumbled toward the
bag and the speeding sphere took a
sharp hop and bounded into his mid
section. He grabbed the ball as he
hit the third sack, forcing Petty. run
ming from second, and then hurled to
Golvin at first for a double play. 1t
was horseshoes for the Saints and
marked the death Of the Tribes last
desperate effort.

COST OF TREASURY AUDIT
MAY OPEN FUND DISPUTE
Attorney General Alter Gives opIn.
lon a. TO Appropriation


Harrisburg. Pa. June 3.-In rem.
dering an opinion to Cashier Thomas
A. Crichton. Of the State Treasury,
that bills for $18, 900 covering auditing
done BY Main & Co., under di-
rection Of Auditor General Samuel s,
Lewis in the early part Of this year,
can be paid out of deficiency appro-
priation made in 1921. Attorney Gen
eral George r. Alter says: 1T must be
remembered that sound public policy
requires that the Auditor General must
be given very wide discretion in the
performance of the important duties
vested in him for the protection, Of the
interests Of the Commonwealth
The question Of payment of bills of
accountants for the auditing of the
State Treasury and similar work has
been much discussed about the State
Capitol and there were reports recently
that they might be questioned. Mr..
Crichton, however. held the only qucs-
tion was whether the fund was available
for the work included in the bills by
reason of the fact 1t was performed
after May 81. 1921, the appropriation
providing that it was for deficiencies in :
Cured or to be incurred to that date.
Mr.. Alter says the item of $4,000
to the Auditor Generals department
covers such work as that for which
the present bills are rendered and refers
to the contract made by the Auditor
General dated Me- i, 1921. for audit
ing on a per diem basis and containing
O provision for termination. That the
work was not done under the contract
until early this year. says Mr.. Alter,
seems quite within the power OF the
Auditor General" being work referable
to a period prior to May 81, 1921.

[OOTS STORE SAFE
BY TOUCH SYSTEM
Expert Gets $500 and $500 in
Gems From Place at 21st
and Market Streets
NAB EMPLOYE ON SUSPICION

A thief with a velvet touch. evidently
working alone, opened a safe in the
fruit store Of NJ. A. Meriano, 21O2-
21O4 Market street, during the night
and stole $500 in cash and three dia
mond stickpins worth $500.
The neatness and care with which the
job was done lead the police to believe
it was the work Of an expert finger
touch robbcr familiar with the mech.
anism of all kinds of safes. Not n
thing inside the safe or the Office was
disturbed. The robber seemed to know
where to get the money quickly. He
took only that which was in bundles
and left some crumpled bills.
That the job was the work of one
man is shown by footprints. 1t was
evident, too, that the robber tried to
efface that clue, as he took long and
few steps once he got inside. Entrance
was gained by cutting small pane OF
glass in rear room.
The thorough tinesse with which the
man worked was further indicated by
no sign of broken glass being left near
the spot where he forced entrance.
The robber evidently went to the store
in q taxi. Tracks OF an auto were
found near the window.
Two diamond pins were left behind
by the intruder. Just why Is a matter
Of mystery. Philip Meriano, son OF
the proprietor. said he locked the safe
at 8 o'clock last night
Elmer Mcdonald, an employe of the
Meriano establishment, who lives at
Tenth and Waverly streets, was today
arrested on suspicion of being connected
with the robbery.

reaching his nineties. He died in com.
parative poverty because the struggle
with the land was in those days
bitter business. Besides his many mar
riages had left many children.
Some of these-the boys-were bound
out to neighboring farmers. Among
them David Montgomery. Farming
and this lad seem to have had little
affinity. Blacksmithing, to which he
was later apprenticed, he liked no
better.
Can't Recall Early Days
What happened between those years
and the time he became nineteen Cap
tain Montgomery cannot now remember,
or at least cannot tell. From fragments
of his random speech, however. one
gathers that he moved with his mother
to Baltimore, studied navigation, and
Mt nineteen was the full -fiedged master
of a sailing vessel, that made the Indies
and South America. and carried back
great cargoes of hemp, rum, molasses,
sugar and what not.

with him his wife compelled him to
