score, at the closing days shoot
of the Amateur Trapshooting AS
sociation's Atlantic Division tour
nament, over the Quaker City Gun
Club traps at Holmesburg, Satur-
day, from a field of one hundred
shooters.
The victory, however, required
a shoot off, as M. s. Haines, of
Mount Holly, N. j., had also brok-
en- 1877 of his quota. In the shoot
off Hackett broke one target bet
ter than Haines, which'left Haines

CHARLES E. JACKSON,
Mayor.
Mayor Charles E. Jackson today
urged that residents of the city
and Mainland use every precau
ton to protect lives and property
as the Fourth of July is celebrat
ed Monday. Although that day
has been set aside as the Official
day OF celebration because the
Fourth comes on Sunday this
year, scores OF children on the
Mainland will purchase and fire
off their explosives this week.
The Mainland in the past has
been fortunate when it celebrates
with very few injuries, and few, IL
any deaths, being reported the
past few years. The Mayor, with
other city officials, hopes that the
record may continue over this
Fourth of July.
The first accident to mar the
joy of the holiday Fourth came in
the resort Sunday, when an eight
year old girl, Manus Daenda
daughter of Mrs. Anna Daenda,
6512 Winchester avenue, Ventnor
suffered first degree burns which
playing with another girl in the
rear yard of her home. A spark
Ter lighted her dress, and before
it was extinguished, she was bad
yesterday caused her death, while
ly burned.
Mainland pastors. in many cas-
es, are planning services appropri
ate to the Fourth of July in their
churches, Sunday. Outside OF pri.
vate exhibitions of fireworks, Mon
day will be a quiet day in the
city. No celebrations have been
planned. Plans have been formu-
lated to decorate the city hall with
flags and bunting in honor of the
celebration of the 150th anniver-
sary of the signing of the Decla-
ration of Independence. Private
residences will also be decorated
by their owners.
Mayor Jackson officially set
Monday aside as a legal holiday
for the celebration of the Fourth
when he issued proclamation
yesterday.

FEEDING TIME FOR EWES
 ALWAYS ATTRACTS KIDS

At o'clock every afternoon the two little ewes in Nile Park are fed by MT. Story, engineer of the Arcade Building, but long before that hour the plaintive 'baah, baah." of the tufts of wool are heard. They know when it is about time for MT. Story to come walking along the park strip with two bottles of warm milk tucked under his arm, and only need speak to them once, 'here I come Robbie, {" when both start in to make an awful fuss. Each day little children gather and generally are taken into the en- closure and permitted to watch the ewes drink the bottles dry until their little dummies bulch out like the diri- gible Norge. It's a sight well worth seeing.

YEAR BOOK ADS
HIT BY BURR. AL

Learning from numerous com
plants that advertising space in
civil employees associations year
books is being forced on District
workers BY solicitors, who claim it
viii bring them favor from the
hands Of the District Government,
the Washington Better Business
Bureau today sent a protest to the
commissioners.
Commissioner Bell is told In the
letter from Louis Rothchild, acting
director of the bureau, that money
for the advertising goes mostly to
private parties, whereas It is repre-.
scented as going toward the support
OF the employees associations.
"James L. Feeney, who holds the
contract for publishing the city
Employees Association year book.
informs re that the statesmen re-
|ceive from 10 per cent to rs per
cent and the publisher is on cost
plus basis" Rothchild states. This
leaves little money for the associa-
ton
Many District workers take space
in the book because they are told
nc will gain favor for them at the
hands Of the District Government,
the letter points out.
The Board Of Commissioners, on
October Is, last, issued a statement,
at the request or the Bureau, that
contributing or failing to con.
tribute to the books can in no way
affect employees relations in the con.
duct OF business at the District
Building.
The bureau asks the Commits.
sioner to enforce this ruling or
recommend more stringent orders
conductive to curbing these activ-
tiles.

suspected robbers cave" today.
They are prepared for a fight.
When word OF the robbery was
received by prohibition headquarters
in washington, every available n1afl
was summoned.
All were piled into AUTOMOBILES
and rushed to the scene Of the big
gest liquor burglary In the vicinity
OF Washington since the dawn OF
prohibition.
They found that the thieves had
looted the warehouse Of the In
dustrial Grain Products Corpora
tillery, at Tannery, Md four miles
from Westminster.
Guard First Trapped
Charles i. Thompson, a Govern.
ment guard at the distillery, was
the first to fall into the bandits
trap.
Three OF the strangers, armed,
threatened him with reviewers,
handcuffed and gagged him and
pushed him behind q door.
I
night guards, were seized on their
Frank M. Mcdowell, another
Waterman, showed up and was
treated likewise.
Edward Long, fireman at the
plant, was knocked down and
bound.
The raid began to take on the
aspect OF family feud when g.
delegation called on the aged Miles
Long, 80, who was gathering eggs
on his farm nearby when he was
seized. bound and gagged.
The raiders cut the wires or the
house telephone. and later disabled
the telephone system at the ware
house.
George Hughes. bound for his
home in CarroIltOn. was passing by
the distillery, when his attention
was attracted by a large number
of men gathered around the en-
trance.
In the dusk, he could discern
dimly the bulk of trucks.
Didn't Get Along
ITS none of my business" said
Mr.. Hughes, pausing for q mo-
ment, so / guess I'll be getting
along"
He was grabbed from behind,
tied up securely and didn't get
along for somet time.
Confident that they could con-
tinue in peace and quiet, the liquor
hooters began their work.
Truck after truck rolled up be-
fore the door, all through the night.
The sky was Frightening with
dawn when the yawning crew showed
off with the last truckload, leaving
fifteen barrels on the runway.
The cautious Mr.. Hughes enjoyed
4 sleepless night. While the bandits
were at work, he was quietly work
ing on the stout ropes that held
his hands.
He had loosened them consider
ably, but did not dare to move,
although lying on the cold ground
might give him a severe cold.
After thinking the matter over.
Mr.. Hughes decided that lying on the
ground was better than lying in it.
Hughes Gets Up
So he waited until the last truck
had chugged away. Then he rose
and raced his stiff legs to West
minister, where he told the story to
Sheriff William T. Phillips and
States Attorney Theodore Brown.
The telephone wires sizzled. Over
the roads to Westminster roared the
cars bearing officers of Baltimore
and rural communities of the vi
entity. But the trucks had van
Ished completely.
All day long the Maryland Off
GERS searched, joined in the early
part of the day by the Washington
agents.
Today they expect to make an
arrest.
