Three persons were injured be-
tween S and 8 o'clock last night,

tol Traction street car at Twelfth

northwest, suffering numerous cuts
on the face and body. He was
treated at Emergency Hospital. The
accident occurred at o'clock.
Another tramway of the same

W. Day, Of Mellsburg, Pa, at
Fourteenth street and Pennsyl-
vanla avenue northwest, shortly be.
fore 8 o'clock. She refused medical
attention, and proceeded on her

WINDOW
To GET $4,000
IN FURS
Daring Gang, Working Fast,
Escape With Choice Skins
of Saks Firm.

Working with incredible speed, a
gang Of robbers hurled a brick
through the window OF the Saks
Fur Company, 610 Twelfth street
northwest, this morning, and es-
capped with spring furs valued at
$4,000.
Sergeant Burke, of the First
precinct, was about. block away
from the scene of the robbery, and
heard the crash. He ran toward
the spot, but upon arrival, the
robbers had disappeared. %
Operatives Of the Mutual District
Messenger Company, a. private. de-
Ftective agency, reached the store.
They too were unable to trace the
robbers.
The furs, which consisted Of
baum-martins, Russian sables, silver
and blue foxes, had been placed in
the window for the spring display
last Friday. Large fur coats, and
less valuable skins, were left be-
hind.
Evidently the robbers had a fore
knowledge of the value of certain
skins, the police think. Only those
which would be difficult to identify
were in the loot, it was asserted.
When the window was smashed,
police believe, the thieves seized the
furs and jumped into a waiting
automobile. So carefully was the
theft timed that just as the street
lights were extinguished the brick
went through the window.
Jerome SakS, a member OF the
firm, said the loss was covered by
insurance.

Vention.
According to well-informed Re-
publican officials, who are nauseated
by the Teapot Dome revelations,
Hamon is alleged to have arranged
with Daugherty that he himself
would be appointed Secretary of
Interior upon delivery by Hamon
Hamon was to refuse the appoint
ment upon the assurance that AL
bert B. Fall would receive it, it is
alleged.
It is said that Hamon. Doheny
and Sinclair had previously ar
ranged a division Of the oil lands
OF the United States Government
between them, based upon the ap.
pointment of Fall. This was late in
1919 or early in 1920, it is said.
Death Saved Indian Land.
Hamon delivered the votes. Hard.
Ing was nominated and elected.
Then Clara Smith shot and killed
Hamon. Harding was inaugurated
Then Fall was appointed Secretary
Of the Interior. -
Doheny and Sinclair got all Of
the United States Goernment's oil
reserves. lannon's unexpected
death prevented the trio from get
ting the valuable oil lands Of the
Usage Indians in Oklahoma.
A Republican United States SEN
ator today said there isn't a doubt
In his mind that these oil grabs
were definitely planned by these
men back in 1919, and that the
facts are substantially as related.

How Doheny counts up his $1r
100000 Of expense is unknown.
The official records do not quite
total that amount. That he spent
enormous sums is generally known.
Sinclair also probably spent as
much here as he did for Zev.
On DOheny's Payroll.
Doheny paid McAdoo $4,000 a

His salary was put into the recol ds

while for each succeeding year he
took a mere $4,000 a year, the
amount he admitted on the wi-ness
