BREAK OPEN ONE SAFE
State Board of Education Decides Fall Mountaineers Must Build Own School-Resolution on Rev. Mir. Wismer's Resignation.

The office of the American Rail- way Express Go. on Prospect street was broken into by burglars last night, entrance being gained by forcing a window on the east side of the building with a jimmy. The sum total of their loot. however, was very small, but s2.60 in money being se- cured from the cash register. Twen- scorned by the burglars. The safe had been left open by employees of the company. probably due to it's containing nothing of value. The burglars searched the safe and took with them some insurance policies for some unknown reason unless it was due to the fact that they were amateurs and did net know the papers to be valueless except in the hands of the owners.
 Although there were q number of express packages in the office, none of these were molested, the burg lars being apparently interested in nothing but cash. Detective Ser geant Daniel McGillicuddy is con- ducting the investigation of the break.
 Bowling Alleys Burglarized
 Burglars also entered Macs Bowl ing alleys next door to the Ameri can Railway Express Co. office last night, discovery of their activities being made immediately after enl- ployes opened the alleys shortly be- fore II o'clock this morning. A small safe, located in the front win dow, had been picked up and car- ried to the rear of the building where it was broken into in the same manner employed on the safe of the Bristol theater a few months ago. A chisel and heavy hammer were the only implements used the combination and the handle of the safe being broken off. The amount of the loot was not ob tainable. although Arthur Lalane. owner of the alleys, said the safe had contained the entire days re- ceipts.
 Entrance was gained in the same manner as that employed in the Ex- press company's office, by forcing q window on the side of the building with a jimmy.
