ALARM SCARES BURGLARS
 AT BESSE-LELAND STORE
Policemen Hurry to Building When Gong Sounds But Intruders
 Had Disappeared

Thieves were more successful in jimmying the door at the third floor of Besse-I.eland's than at the second, but their success availed them nothing as the opening of the door set off the burglar alarm and brought number of policemen to the scene before they could accomplish any more than a clean getaway. Upon arriving at the scene.. the police were unable to dis cover anything missing, found the door leading from the fire escape on tho rear of the building open, and also the marks made by jimmy on the door of the second floor.
 Sergeant George c. Ellinger inves- tigated the break this morning and was unable to discover any clue that would lead to the arrest of the in- truders. Walter w. Leland said that nothing had been taken from the store.

SAY IT WITH CASH, i WEAF ANNOUNCES
BrOadcaStins Station to Charge
 Politicians St a Minute

New York, Feb. as.--The WEAF' station of the American Telephone and Telegraph company now charges comm ercial firms at the rate of s10 a minute for broadcasting. according to William F. Hardness, assistant yice-president in charge of radio, and will probably charge political cam- paigners at the same rate this fall. The company sells broadcasting time only in ten minute lots, so that the cheapest political speech will be sl0o. The WEAF station is the only one re- control of patents it is able 10 make charges and to prevent other com- panies from doing SO.
 ''We have had no applications from politicians for broadcasting time so far" said Mir. Hardness, "and do not expect to have many applications un- til after the primaries and conven- tions, when the candidates can deal directly with the public.
 At that time we may allow two or three short speeches with each pro- sldiii. lfoiiS stuuttSctS bs lduio VIII be exceptional. We find that the ra- dio listeners, generally speaking, do not care for speeches more than ten minutes in length.
 Some politicians would make a great mistake if they talked over the radio at all. There is a type of ora tory which goes well face to face with an audience but falls flat when it is broadcast. A speaker cannot cover up a weak argument by impressive gestures. Many speakers can make involved and ungrammatical sentences sound we'll from the platform, but not by radio. Mixed up sentences and bad grammar go very badly by ra- dio. Many ring off and write letters telling how unpleasant the experience was.
 At the best I do not believe that much time can be surrendered from the regular program for political speeches. I don't think the audiences will care for much of it. A fair dis tribution of time will have to be made between the two parties"
 Mir. Hardness said that no charge was made for religious services broad cast from the company's studios, and that a charge of less than cost was made to churches which needed spe- cial arrangements for broadcasting.

PUTTING BIG TANK IN PLACE
Citizens Coal Co. Installing Largest Underground Reservoir in City Near Hungerford Court.

The largest oil tank ever stored un- derground, is being buried in the rear of tho New Britain Realty company's block on the corner of Main and Hungerford Court. The tank is being constructed by the Citizens Coal Co.,, for the storage of fuel for oil furnaces in that block. It has capcity of 1000 gallons and is 25 feet long, eight and a half fet fin diameter,
 Because of the fact that oil from these tanks is drawn o.f by vacuum pulling power instead Of gravity, 1t is possible to store the tank underground and draw from the top. This elimin- ates the danger Of leakage also, as there are no opening anywhere except the top.

.BORAH READY ID .' DUST DAUGHERTY
lcontinued From the First Page.)

said Senator Borah. there are times when a man must make personal sacrifices for the public good. I have no present interest in the charges made against him. but the situation calls for a man at the head of that department of transcendent ability. personal health and vigor and holding the utmost public confidence.
 "1 look upon the department of justice as the key to the whole situa- tion as it now lies. It must be ap- parent that legal proceedings must be had not only for recovery of prop erty but for the punishment of guilty persons not only in the oil lease cases but in those relating to the veterans bureau. alien property and other matters. It's merely a matter of public duty to try to get at the head of the department for handling these matters. a man who has the public confidence.
 ''rhe greatest evil flowing from the matter under investigation for the past seven weeks, has not been the loss of some oil or the possible escape of one or more guilty persons It is that from center to circumference, the people have come to doubt the efficiency, the competency. if not the cleanness of their government. Every senator should be ready to sac rifice not only his party but himself to correct that situation"
 Having been told the sentiment among republican senators, MT. Borah said. President Coolidge alone must answer to the American people for Mir. Daugherty's retention. The only one way for the senate to act, he said, was by impeachment, and he added that he was willing Ao ''join with anyone in laying the foundation for such action."
