boldest daylight robberies executed
in this city in many months, IN
WHICH a slick stranger, who had
made frequent visits to the book
and stationery store Of White &
Westall on Lisbon street. inquiring
for Black Beauty, got away unob-
served with $500 in cash and $40
in checks. was carried out about .
o'clock this afternoon.
A man who gave his name as
"Mr Dale" appeared at the store a
few days ago and purchased a copy
of Black Beauty, returning three
days after to resell the book. ac-
cording to the statement of the Lew
iston police and David Westall. The
business deal led to the mans max
ing a rapid inventory of the line of
literature carried by the firm, he
also inquiring for a copy of the life
of John Drew, the actor. He was
informed that it was not in stock
but that copy could be secured
for him.
Dropping into the store occasion
ally, ostensibly to make inquiry as
to whether the book had been re-
ceived, Mr.. Dale evidently got an
insight into the location of the safe.
and it is thought also learned that
it was kept unlocked during the
day.
Today the man visited the store
three or four times, the last appear
ance being to furnish the proprietors
the address of the publishers of the
desired book. Shortly after he had
departed Mr.. Westall was informed
by Miss Katherine Mansfield. a
clerk. that the cash box was miss
ing from the safe, and investiga-
ton further showed that the cash

about $500 were gone.

was assigned to the case, but the
stranger is believed to have had an

nothing that would lead to his ap-
prehension.
Miss Mansfield stated that just be-
fore leaving the store Mr.. Dale had
purchased a pack of playing cards,
but showed no interest in line of
cash boxes which the firm had for
sale and on display.
Mr.. Westall placed the robbery at
about j. o'clock. and is of the belief
that Just previous to Mr.. Dale's last
entry Dale YVES across the street in a

American Operators
Disseminated Against
Foreign Oil Fields

Washington. Feb. 11-Whilc for
eign corporations are among the
largest of those engaged in exploit
ing the petroleum resources of the
United States and now are engaged
in efforts to extend their holdings in
this country. American oil compa-
MES are subject to discrimination
that Virtually prevents any activity
on foreign soil, according to a re-
port submitted to the Senate by the
Federal Trade Commission in re-
Spouse to a resolution calling for
information as to foreign ownership
in the petroleum industry.
'The most important instances of
discrimination by foreign govern
ments against citizens OF this coun-
try says the report. made public
today, are the exclusive policies of
the governments of Great Britain
and the Netherlands in respect to
the oil fields of India and the Dutch
East Indies and the 1922 san Reno
agreement of Great Britain and
France covering the undeveloped oil
fields of MeSopotamia and of the
British and French colonies"
The San Reno agreement provid-
ell that the governments of France
and Great Britain should lend aid
to each other i'll acquiring rights to
. petroleum properties. and gave oil
companies of each country certain
rights Of exploration and cxploita-
ton of oil lands in colonies of the
other country.
The report also cites several cases
where foreign governments have
excluded American oil companies
from acquisition of oil properties,
notably the order in council of the
British government in 1854. which
IS still in effect. providing that mo
trust or corporation connected wit h
>. Ilerpont Morgan or John ID.
itockelcilcr or any company belong
ing thereto, be permitted any facili-
ties or interest in the oil fields of
burma.' This order in effect, it is
declared, excluded all aliens from
such acquisitions.

declared and referred to the biblical
story as "a childish notion"
You know that this is not heresy."
he continued. There are heresy
hunters in the Jewish churches, as
there are in the Protestant, and they
would Danish me if they could"
His sermon, 'Recant or Resign:

Tense of Rev. DR.. Percy Stickney
Grant in his controversy with Bishop
William L. Manning over the Deity

bishop Manning was charged by
Rabbi Wise with evasion in his re-

that it would have meant death to
the moral and spiritual life of the
Christian church for DR.. Grant to
