Two Intruders Flee
as Waterman
Fires.

A thousand dollars in currency was
blown into such tiny pieces by safe
crackers, who opened a safe at the
Eagles lodge, "a West Vermont
street, last night, that it is believed
none of it can be redeemed.
Officials Of the lodge said the rob
bers obtained $13763 in money
which was in a separate compart-
ment and apparently had not been
damaged. They overlooked 800,
which remained intact in a box In
the safe.
The robbery apparently had been care
fully planned, but the cracksmen seem
ingly used too much nitroglycerin. Il
appeared they had at first opened the
outer door Of the safe without difficulty.
The second charge, in an effort TO open
ths inner door, however, almost complete
~ wrecked the safe.
The sound Of the explosion was munled
by about 200 pounds Of wet rags piled
around the safe. All the cracks around
the doors and windows we're filed with
soap in order to prevent the sound reach
ing the street.
Scattered over the room were 1888 IN
pennies which had been IN the safe. They
had been thrown in every direction by
the force Of the explosion.
The robbery was discovered by Dean
Selig, an employe Of the lodge. Albert
Ledig. 1868 Graceland avenue, secretary
Of the lodge, told the police a number
Of rev members had been initiated and
banquet had been given last night. He
said the money in the safe was the pro-
ceeds Of the banquet.
Selig told the police he left the build
ing about midnight and that all the
doors and windows were locked. The
police believe the men who blew the safe
were hiding in the basement before the
building was closed.
Members Of the police department said
they had clews as to the identity Of the
safe blowers and that they expected to
make arrests soon

For the Sake of Votes.

The Lower House of Congress after
solemn elaboration recently passed
an "anti-lynching bill. The vote CO.
incided roughly with the partisan di-
vision of northern Republicans and
Southern Democrats.
Theoretically, the object of the bill
was to reduce %lynchings, which have
had for their most numerous victims,
the Negroes living in the South. .Ac-
tually, the object of the bill was to
cater favor with Negro voters, who
are numerous in some of the northern
voting centers.
Theoretically, the opposition to
the bill was insured by the altruistic
belief that Federal interference with
state officials for shortcomings in pun
ishing lynchers, is an unwarranted
and dangerous extension of the Fed
eral paternalistic rule. Actually, the
opposition felt that the. southern vo-
tiers would resent any vote which.
might be construed as catering to
Negroes.
Negro voters may look forward
with confidence to the appearance
shortly of some franked copies of the
Congressional Record in which the
suferings of their race are eloquent
ly denounced. So, too, ardent uphold
ers of the Old South may enhearten
themselves with the thought that
printed patriotism, of their W par
ticular brand, will soon be delivered
free.
AS for the bill, if it becomes a
law, there are few southerners who
fear that it will have any more effect
than did the constitutional amend
ment giving the Negro the vote.
Neither do the northerners.
But viewed simply as an arrange
ment of words, the measure is entire
ly c~ommendable. So too, would be a
constitutional amendment prohibit
ing murder Dearborn Independent.
