Burglars Raid Charles Town.

Burglars and safe blowers held o
carnival in Charles Town last Sunday
night, two safes being riHed and rob-
bed Of va,uables, and one being blown
with explosives, but failed to open, all
on North George street.
The Office Of the G. F. Wall Com
pany was entered by q window being
forced, and an attempt was made TO
blow the safe open with a powerful ex-
plosive, which blew the knob and COM
bination of, but failed to open the safe
door.
The Offices OF the Reed Grain and
Milling Company and Hyman Wiener
were broken into by a window being
forced, and the safes in each Office
plundered and robbed OF everything Of
value.
Mr.. Wiener lost about SIS or $50 in
money, about 500 worth OF jewelry,
and diamond ring which was worth
fully $1,000, besides having valuable
papers scattered around over the floor
and lost.
About $1,000 in negotiable notes
were taken from the safe OF the Reed
Grain and Milling Company and about
$40 from the cash register. One Of
the boxes out Of the Reed safe was
found near the Jefferson Mill Monday
morning.
Mr.. Viener's lDss is the greatest in
actual cash value, although Messrs
Wall and Redd are put to great in
convenience and trouble. Mr.. Wallis
safe cannot be opened, except by a
machinist or safe expert, and the fast
ening arrangement is probably ruined
The notes, etc. lost by the Reed Grain
and Milling Company will cause a great
deal OF trouble and inconvenience.
The county and city authorities
have been investigating the robbery
but so far as we can learn, there seems
to be no cue whatever as to the
identity OF the robbers Spirit.

ACCORDING to a statement made
by H. H. Taggart, district passenger
agent, there has been a marked In
crease in passenger travel over the B.
< o. Railroad since the per cent tax
vas removed on the first OF January.
This shows very plainly that II the
railroads would reduce their fares to
reasonable rates there would be die
tinct improvement in business.
Much more would this re the case II
freight rates were brought down to a
fair level

THE Tax Commissioners Office Is to
be commended for its efforts to bring
about a fair and equitable assessment
OF all property, yet the underlying mo-

THE appointment Of George Whar-

considerable in the way of elevating
the tone OF the Senate. His first vote.
however, was cast in favor OF seating
Newoerry, and instead of elevating
others he brought himself down to
the lowest level.

day declared that Truman II. Newberry
Has entitled to a seat In the Senate
fnnm Michigan. even though il had been
clearly proven that he had bought the
place by the expenditures OF some
$25O,O00, contrary to law and morals
His hide was saved through the stren-
nous efforts OF such answering parti-
sans as Lodge, Smoot, New, Hale and
other Republicans who put politics
above decency. Nine Republicans re-
fused to swallow the dose and voted
against Newberry. They we're Borah,
Capper, Jones Of Washington, LaPol-
lefte, Sutherland Of West Virginia,
Kenyon, Norris. Laid an Norbeck
HE final vote stood 46 for Newberry
add Al against him. Every Democratic
vote was cast against him except that OF
Watson Of Georgia, who did not vote
at all
II is outrageous. Of course, that New
berry should be given q seat in the
Senate after the immoral and ileeal
campaign he made, ana which was so
clearly proven against him, and the
Senate has degraded itself by ad-
uniting him 10 fellowship.
Senator Howard Sutherland OF West
Virginia, who is a poor nan, honored
himself and his State by voting against
Newberry. Senator Davis, who is a
rich man, made it point to be present

WORD comes from Washington that
VII Hays, Postmaster General under
President Harding. will shortly retire
from Office to become president of a
great combination of moving picture
producers. He is to get a salary of
st5O,0OO year. Mr.. Hays has been
avery capable head of the Ppstofice
Department and there is regret that he
is. leaving the cabinet. Still, no one
can blame him for accepting such a
tempting offer.
This is a shrewd move on the part
Of the movie producers. The degene-
rate and immoral practices Of so many
Of the movie stars and the lowering
ut the standard Of such a large pro-
portion OF the productions has brought
the business into disrepute, and the
managers feel the necessity of bring
Jag some responsibility to the indus

Detroit Springs Surprise
by Great Showing in East;
Rookie Pitchers Deliver

NEW YORK, May 16.-Ty Cobb may
reach the point where he can realize that
the last chuckle Is the loudest, the long
est and the funnies:.
Ty lays claim to an outfit OF possibly
the most sincere hitters In baseball, but
he was supposed to have an anaemic
pitching stafr. and therefore. no sort Of
ball club to tie 10. His vehement
claims to the contrary brought an In
dulgent smile from the critics.
However. the Tigers. within single
week have moved up from last place in
the American League to n tie for third,
and the answer. among other things, Is
pitching. They took four straight from
the Red Sox and then came on to win
three out Of four from the Yankees. a
youth by the name Of LII Stonar holding
the champions to three hits yesterday.
Pillette. another recruit, Is going great
guns, and Cole. Ehmke and others are
advancing from time to time with tidy
performances.
If that staff holds up at all they won't
be able to keep the Tigers out OF the
first division.

Hard Bout Tonight
When Rivals Clash

Tommy Doctor of Grover, Colo. who
has given Jack Reynolds Of Indianapolis
two tough battles already, is confident
that he will defeat the local mat man to-
night when the pair meet In the main
event Of the wrestling show which is to
be the first athletic card to be staged at
the Empire Theater. Tommy is in prime
condition for the bout and feels certain
that with Reynolds leg split hold barred
he will have better than ar even chance to
win.
Local fans look for hard fought con-
test when Tommy and Jack mix 1t to-
night Tommy declares he is going to
even up for the injury he received when
Reynolds put him out with the leg split
in their last bout. Jack on the other
hand Is confident that he will be able to
pin Doctor in straight falls without the
use of his pet hold, as the time limit has
been taken of and the match must go to
q finish.
The large advance sale Of tickets for
the show indicates that capacity house
will see the welters in action. Local fans
seem to be divided as to which man will
win and interest In the match is running
high.

For the first time this year the Indian
apolfs Motor Speedway took on an air
or real preface activity yesterday, and
there were more cars out tuning up for
the 900 mile Decoration day grind than
have been seen on the track since the
last checkered flag fell at the close Of
the 1921 event
And 1t was certainly day of action,
day marked by fast time, thrilling ex
periences and near accidents. Contrary
ers did not seem inclined to take 1t easy
the first day out. but jumped into it
hard with the result that some unusually
good time was made.
The big surprise Of the day was the
work Of little Peter De Paolo. nephew of
Ralph De Palma. who. after riding In the
mechanician's seat of Uncle Ralph's car
for several years. has blossomed out as
full-fedged driver and will handle the
wheel of one of Louis Chevrolet's Eronte
macs. Pete trotted his car, the eight
cylinder Fronty with which Tommy MIL
ton won the race last year. out on the
track and sprung the big surprise of the
day by Keeling off lap at exactly 100
miles an hour. thereby setting at rest
all misgivings as to the ability of the
youngster to travel in fast company free
from the De Palma apron strings.
Eddie Hearne was wearing the
smile that won't come off and all be-
cause no has teamed up with Jules
Goux and In the blue Ballot he ex-
poets to have the best car no ever has
driven In the Indianapolis race. His
hrst time out yesterday was . thriller.
Hearne's Ballot is not yet ready to
ramble and he took a practice spin with
Jimmy Williams In the car to be driven
by Goux. Going down the hackstretch
backfire In the carburetor set off the fire
works and for a minute or two 1t was
even money whether the flames would
spread to the gasoline tank The contents
of two fire extinguishers were shot into
the fire, which became discouraged but
refused to go out of business entirely.
Williams then sacrificed modesty to duty
peeled off his mechanics suit and smoth
cred the fire with 1T. He finished the trip
