ROMANO.S' STORE
ROBBED or $50
Thief Broke Pane of Glass and Raised
Window-Cash Register
Rifed.

The store OF Louis Romanos on Pros.
pect street was the scene of break
last evening when it was entered and
cash register rified Of its contents
which amounted to about $50 in silver
and pennies.
This is the first robbery that has
occurred in several months and for this
reason the thief or thieves, as the case
may be, must have found it great
deal easier to make entry and escape.
Entrance to the store was gained by
the breaking OF pane Of glass in one
of the side windows of the store per-
mitting the thief to raise the window
and force entrance. Mr.. Romanos, with
his family, had retired, leaving the
cash drawer closed but not locked 1t
was simple matter for the robber,
after having made his entrance to ring
up the register and remove its contents
without the knowledge of the propri-
etor and his family. who reside in the
upper part of the building. Escape was
probably made through the window by
which the entrance was forced
Mr.. Romanos became aware of his
loss this morning about O'Clock when
he opened his register and Immediately
notified police headquarters. Officers
went to the scene and an investigation
was made but as far as could be
learned nothing else was taken from
the premises and the only object of
the break was to secure money. 1t was
thought that entrance was made some
time about II o'clock
No clew to the perpetrator of the
robbery has yet been discovered.

announced that the roads in his terri
tory would form new unions and was
understood to have called a meeting Of
eastern railroad presidents to discuss
the plans.

alternative in the matter. The act, it
was explained, provides nothing which
would Justify the board in taking any
action toward recognition until the
unions in question officially appeared
before the board in a plea for settle
ment of dispute between them and
the carriers.
The board then would investigate to
see If the labor organization appearing
were properly organized and repre-
sentative. The term Representative"
