HUGE ROBBERY
New York Lads Had $780,

Ready to Garry Away.
ROBBED HOUSE
Abandoned House Ratified
BY Boys Who Had $4,000
In Gold and Currency.
(By pispatcn 4. p. wirel

NEW YORK, May e.
The story of how three
boys had been arrested as
they were preparing to car
ry away a treasure Of $780,
600 from an abandoned
house was told today in
Yorkville court.
The house in which the
treasure was found was
that of the aged spinster
sisters, Beatrice and Helen
HerWog. Ten years ago
they left it to take up resi-
dence in a hotel. With it's
furniture gathering dust
the old mansion stood
empty, and tales of mystery
were told about it.

Police We're notified. They searched
the house. In q closest they found
hiding q very scared boy. A shot was
fired. Two other boys appeared,
trembling.
On the floor police found heaped to-
gether gold and silver plates, jewels
and heirlooms valued at $2O00O0. In
one of a dozen trunks that had been
broken open they found $4,000 in
currency and gold. On the boys they
found SIG in small change.
The boys, George Bagliero, Rocco
Giamarino and Matthew Mazello, were
held without bail for examination on
June 8. Police testified they found
the front door of the mansion had
been "jimnied.''

BERRY CALLS PHONE
RATE LESS THAN FAIR
Says Present Return to G. & P. Co.
Is Not Adequate-Net in 1928
Was 5.83 Per Cent.
Spec,al Dlspatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
BALTIMORE, June l6.-The pres.
ent amount of return to the CheSa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Co,
under the rates fixed by the Public
Service Commission to net per cent
or slightly over. is less than fair.
A. T.. Berry. president Of the COM
pany, complains.
At the beginning of the year the
telephone company announced that a
further trial of at least six months
under the existing rates would be
made to determine if the company
could provide necessary expansion
with the revenue thus derived before
i, would ask for higher rates.
A ruling of Judge John {. Rose In
United States Court states It return OF
less than 3 per cent TO the company
would he contiscatory.
The net return on the property of
the telephone company in 1928 was
$50 per cent, according to its annual
report.
Commenting on the disappointing
showing made by the company under
the new rates for the first six months
Of this year, Mr.. Berry said
I'm the period which has elapsed
since the present rates were put into
effect it has been demonstrated that
the present return to the company is
less than fair return. To put the
case in another way. it has been dem
onstl1ted that the rates which the
company originally sought would have
been fair and reasonable had they
been put into effect. This justitica
ton of its course is gratifying to the
company.
we believe that the policy of at
tempting to require the telephone
company to do business in Maryland
al a return which is even less than
the cost of financing extensions and
building operations is a mistaken one
md one to which we believe the busi'
,ess interests of the city do not sub.

CATCH OF SALMON
WILL Be SMALLER
PerpIexing Habits of Fish
Family Responsible for
the Short Pack.
BY j. {. RONLE.
SPECIAL Dispatch TO The star,

NEW YORK. June 16.--Wholesale
and retail grocers from the Middle
West to the Atlantic coast are scour-
Ing the markets for supplies of canned
salmon, which has become one of the
staple food products OF this and other
countries.
From every river on the Pacific
Coast come reports that the supply of
fresh fish is so small as to have kept
many Gamers inactive, for long
periods. The total pack from Alaska
to the Columbia River Is expected TO
be extremely small. In consequence,
Gamers are declining to name prices
until the exact amount of the pack
available can be definitely known. II
is expected that quotations VIII run
extremely high.
Many Mistaken Ideas.
Gamers and salmon fishermen de-
clare that more mistaken ideas exist
about the habits Of the Pacific Coast
salmon than about any other fish. AC
cording to DIR. W. r. Rich of the
United States Department of Fish
cries, the mistaken idea exists that all
salmon return to their native waters
every four years to spawn. Erroneous
beliefs. he added. have grown up
about every other phase of salmon
life.
Even the experts, however, are not
thoroughly conversant with salmon
habits, and an internatical federation,
comprising officials of Oregon. Wash
ington, California and British Colum-
bia has been formed to study them.
Between 5000 and $4,000 adult fish
will be marked at sea this year be-
tween British Columbia and Monterey
Bay.
Since 1915 the United States Bu
reau of Fisheries has marked and
liberated more than d million young
fish," said DIR. Rich. Prom these
markings ii has been established con
clusively that salmon return to the
stream from which they originated
They never enter other streams. II
also has been proved that Pacific
Coast salmon spawn only once. After
they make one migration To the spawn
ing ground their lifework has been
accomplished
1T is mistaken idea that all sal
mon run in fouryear cycles The
run in the Frazer River has usually
occurred in four-year periods. but in
the Colombia the return of the fish
may come at any time between one
and seven years. The pink salmon
Of Alaska run in two-year cycles,
WnlI0 the SILVER SluSS are IIlTee-A edl
fish and stay in the native stream
one year before going to sea. The
reds, Chinooks and chums are irreg.
ular. In the southern Pacific Coast
streams the Chinook goes out as a
Young fish. while farther north they
stay in their native stream longer
often as long as Is months. After
the Chinook goes to the ocean it stays
from one 10 five years.
Fresh Business Better.
The Atlantic Coat salmon returns
two and three times to spawn, but
the Pacific Coast variety is done after
one breeding trip
The fish business OF the Pacific
Coast has increased largely in late
years and this Spring the catch of
fresh halbut shipped to points
throughout the country was eXcep.

COPPER LEAGUE
PLAYERS SOUGHT
in BIG LEAGUES

Chicago White Sox are after Vern
Underhill of the Ell Paso club, while
scouts of the Washington Senators
plan to look Charley (Red) Dorman
over within the next few days, it
became known yesterday.
The Sox wired the El Paso right
handler a contract for next season
which calls for him to report at
once to an east Texas club. He now
has the offer under advisement.
Underhill has had some bad breaks
since joining the Giants, but it is
generally considered that he has more
natural stuff than any pitcher in the
league. He is a Rotan, Tex, boy.
Dorman plays center field for the
Bisbee Bees and is rated as the best
natural hitter in the Copper league.
He reported to Bisbee from Los An
geles and has been Copper league
sensation since the day of his sign
ing. At the present time he is hitting
in the neighborhood of 500.
Dorman hit close to 800 per cent
during the recent series with Ell
Paso and will be seen in action
against Juarez in the series which
starts Friday in Dudley field. He is
a right hand hitter.
Both prospects are youngsters I'm
