MCCORMICK SUIT
OUT OF COURT
Case Dismissed by Federal
Judge BaItzelI.

Decree dismissing the case Of
Harold F. Mccormick, as first friend
of Anita Oser, 2-year-old daughter
of Mathilda Mccormick Oser,
against Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick, Standard Oil Company of In
diana and the Equitable Trust Com
pany Of New York, was on file in
Federal Court today.
Harold Mccormick asked that ST.
500, 900 worth of the company's stock
be placed in the original trust fund
of John D. Rockefeller for his de-
scendants, rather than as income of
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, desig-
mated as life tenant by Rockefeller.
The case was dismissed by Judge
Baltzell because of lack of iuris-
diction. This throws the case en-
tirely out of the local court and
leaves juridiction to the state Su-
preme Court Of New York.

Found Door Lock Jammed
Sunday Night.

Between $4,000 and $4,000 in cash
was secured over the weekend by
yeggs who looted a safe at the Nor
rison Cloak House, 4 w. Washing
ton ST., in the heart of the down
town district, and took the Satur-
days receipts. Store officials, check
ing over the loss, were unable to
give the exact amount taken. More
than 95 per cent of the total was
in cash, 1t was said.
The store was entered some time
between 10 p. m. Saturday and z
a. m. today, according to police.
Officers believe the robbers had
planned to blow the safe with nitro
glycerine, but when one Of the gang
spilled the blasting liquid they re-
sorted to hammers, battered off the
combination and chisseled the locks
in the inner doors.
A safe at the Louis Sagalowsky
junk yard, 627 w. Washington ST.,
also was opened over the weekend,
but practically nothing was taken.
Door Lock Picked
Sunday night about 6, Arnold Nor
rison, 401 E. Maple Rd., proprietor,
visited the store and found the front
door lock picked.
Morrison said he tried to get a
locksmith, and then, unable to
secure one,-went honle~belieWng the
burglars had been unable to get in.
Motor Police Powers and Coleman,
and Detectives Reynolds and Jordan,
said the burglars probably entered
by the front door and then
"jimmed" the lock.
Early today Morrison secured
John Foltz, 126 Virginia Ave, to
saw the lock off the front door,
and the robbery was discovered.
Mrs. Sadie M. Clark, cashier at
the store, said the safe was locked
securely Saturday night. Receipts
were unusually heavy Saturday be-
cause of pre-Easter business, it was
stated
Safe Battered
Sam Cohen, Sagalosky junk yard
manager, told police he found the
safe there battered when he opened
the place today. The combination
and handle and one hinge had been
knocked off. Only 25 cents in
stamps were taken.
Desks in the office of the Harry
Miller junk shop, 534 w. Pearl St,
were ransacked. Nothing was taken.
The Won Cannon Furniture Store,
625 w. Washington St., next to the
Sagalosky shop, was burglarized.
but nothing was taken.
The safe at Morrison's, a small
type, was located at the rear Of the
store on a first floor balcony. About
twenty-five winter coats were car
ried down from the third floor and
piled in front of the safe. Soap was
found on the lower part Of the door,
in preparation for blowing the safe.
At this point the detectives think
the bandits spilled the explosive.
