Blow Real Estate Office Safe
and Then Loot Store Of
Valuable Jewelry

Safe blowers, riding in an auto
mobile. drove into Falls Church,
Va, early today and, after enter
ing and ransacking a real estate
and grocery store, made their
escape.
County authorities, aided by
Washington police, today are
searching the countryside for the
robhers. They declare the two
robberies were the most daring
known to Falls Church.
Several thousand dollars in
jewelry and about $50 in cash
were taken.
Blew Safe with Nitro.
The robbers visited the town
about 3 o'clock this morning. They
opened a side window in the H. Fl
Anderson Company real estate of
flee. A safe about eight feet high
and five feet wide was blown open
with nitro glycerine. Two explo
sions were necessary before the
door would yield. The safe was
ransacked, valuable papers strewed
about the floor, and about $40 in
cash taken.
L. e. Thomas, who lives about
fifty yards from the real estate Of
fice, heard the explosions and went
to his front porch in his night
clothes. Thomas did not have a
gun, and Mrs. Thomas would not let
him go after the cracksmen. Thomas
declared today that If he had gun
he thought he could have captured
all of the men.
The yeggs spent nearly a half
hour in the real estate office. Then
they jumped into an automobile and
drove seyenty-five yards down the
road to the Ideal Grocery Store. run
by Gillern and Pear.

The robbers entered a side win
dow. Practically every bit of the
stores small supply of jewelry was

FOR ALL
FACTS
Two Separate Inquiries Ex-
pscted to Bring About Action
BY Congress.

The sugar growers of Cuba
and the sugar refiners and bank
ers of the American Atlantis
Coast-and not merely the sugar
spectators" of the New York
Sugar Exchan are goiue
be Investigated clear through 70
the bitter or joyous end +; and
this inquiry into their actions to
day gave signs Of becoming the
largest and longest Governmental
inouisition ever undertaken into
an international industry.
Conducting Research.
Agents of the American Depart
ment of Justice and agents 81 the
American Department OF Commercs
are in Cuba conducting reseaIc ~
| into the whole structure or Ins
| Cuban sugar business from the time
the cane is cut to the time when
the miiled raw sugar is put into
boats for carriage to the Unlteo
Agents of both these departments
are Also following this sugar from
| the time it is landed in the ports
! OF the United States to the ume
when IL has passed through the r.
| fineries and is sold to the Wnoie
sale and retail trade.
A complete picture of the interna-
tional sugar industry will have been
pieced together by the time Con
gress re-assembles; and then the
| s.Rrookhart Resolution" for gen
eral legislative inquiry into the sugar
situation will at once be brought 90
| the front by the Progressive Bloc ;
and it looks today as If the resoiu-
ton would be passed. q.
The forces behind II will be not
only the Progressive Bloc, but
also our American domestic sugar
growing interests. The beet sugar
growers of our West and the cane
sugar growers of our South are
delighted to see the GovernmSnt
! getting out in hot pursuit OF the
Atlantic coast refiners and bankers
and the Cuban growers and grind
ers-all of whom our own growers
detest.
Result of Inquiry,
The present high prices have
brought no gains to our own grow
ers: because their crop was already
esthered and sold. The killing has
been made by the Atlantic coast
and Cuban interests, the dominating
representatives of which could be
nicked up by one police patrol
wagon in New York city, with per-
| hans a little very incidental help
from wagons in Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Montreal. :,
This writer, after inquiries in al
the different circles concerned IN
the matter, is able to state that AZ
this moment the outcome OF all the
Governmental efforts now under
way is believed to be likely to turn
out as follows:
NO great bag" of criminals
will be secured. That is. mo- in
diyidual criminal, responsibility
will be easily found.
2-The chaotic conditions whicn
led to the present sugar grab
will be so glaringly demonstrated
that proposals for a large Govern
mental oversight Of the sugar In
dustry will be brought forward IN
Congress and will be pressed earn
estly toward passage.
These proposals will follow the
lines already laid down in the law
nassed for the regulation" Of the
hackers" in the cattle and sheep
and hog industry.
In other words we are not likely
to acquire many more jatlbtrds

Whole Sugar Industry Under Probe
Saints Statue Weeps,
Report; Crowds
Pack Church

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May
5.-Pious Italians are today
crowding the church Of st.
Mary Magdelen de Pazzi, fol-
lowing a widespread report that
a statue of Santa Rosa di Lima
had shed tears late Friday.
The report originated with
three little girls who were at
service conducted by nuns at
that time. Gazing up at the
statue, the children claim to
have seen tears well up in its
eyes and then roll down its
cheeks.
According to Monsignor An
tonic Isoleri, rector of the
church, he personally had seen
no such manifestation, although
a number of persons who were
in the church have declared the
eyes of the statue appeared to
be moist.

Here's a lot of letters. addressed

Won't they be Identification

Il am sorry" said the cashier,
.'but while l have no doubt
that YOU are the party, our rule
is to require better Identification.
The man unbuttoned his vest
and showed the initial II. Is. s.,
on his shirt. Does that go?"
he asked. The cashier shook
his head. "You might have
Henry B. Saunders letters. and
his papers, and also his shirt
on, without being the right man.
We are forced to be very care
full
