OF $4,000 IN GOODS

Make Attempt to Destroy

Silk dresses, lingerie and hosiery
were stolen last night from kafka's,
wearing apparel shop, 941 F street,
by a gang of thieves who entered the
store by forcing open front tran
som. and left it through the basement
pausing to attempt to burn the build
ing by setting fire to a package of
shipping tags stored in a corner.
Henry Liebel manager of the store,
who, with Kenneth A. Andrews,
bookkceper, discovered the robbery
this morning, estimated the loss to
he more than $4,000. Maurice Kafka,
proprietor. was still engaged in
checking up on the missing stock at
noon today.
Footprints on n counter beneath the
transom, just to the left of the +
street entrance. indicated that sew
eral men participated i'll the robbery
Only the most expensive articles
were taken. After selecting under
wear and hosiery from the first floor
the bandits went to the second floor
and took an assortment of dresses.
They then went to the basement
and set fire to the package of tags
The flames burnt themselves out
after scorching the exterior of the
package. The bandits opened dou-
BILE -bolted iron door, used to put

Is Days of Grace for Gas and Electric
Bills to Be Sought by Peoples Counsel

Ralph r. Fleharty, peoples counsel
for the Public Utilities Commission,
revealed today that he is planning to
request the Washington Gas Light
and the Potomac Electric Power com
panies to extend the period Of grace"
for the payment OF gas and electric
light bills to Is days.
The present Today period OF
"gracc." Mr. Fleharty feels, is working
a hardship on many people in the Dis.
trict. particularly the Government em-
ployes, who are paid semi-monthly on
the 1st and 18th.
Usually the Federal workers, he
said, wait until the final day on which
payment OF bills can be made without
the addition of the customary 10 per
cent penalty, and then find themselves
without funds. A five-day extension.
he believes. would not cause any seri'
Gus alteration in the bookkeeping ac-
counts of the two utility companies.
The proposed extension, Mr.. Fle-
harty pointed out, probably would he
more beneficial to electricity users
than to gas consumers. as payment OF
electric bills is staggered over different
periods of the month. 11...ss
Evening star., 1927-07-13

Often. Mr.. Fleharty said, the date
for payment falls between the pay
days of the Federal employees.
The situation is somewhat differ
ent, however, in the case of gas
consumers as the gas company rem
ders it's bills about the first of the
month and requires payment by the
10th.
MIR. Fleharty hopes to arrange the
flve-day extension in conferences
with officials of the gas and power
companies, but if unsuccessful, he
said he would appeal to the Public
Utilities Commission to order the
change. The proposed extension OF
the grace" period would not be
applicable to the sapeake & Poto-
mac Telephone Co. Mr.. Fleharty eX-
planned, as it collects in advance and
unless payments are made promptly
telephone service is discontinued.
Just how much money the gas and
electric light users are turning into
the Golfers of the utilities companies
in the form of penalties. Mr.. Fleharty
has not been able to ascertain. but
he expressed the belief that it
amounts to thousands of dollars an

said to me: IF you want a big one. l
will tell you where to find it. Go
down Midland road" He added that l
would recognize the place when l
smelled it.
We located it, and found it contained
factory size building surrounded by
high iron fence, in which there was
double iron gate. A short stocky
man tried to stop us as we entered.
but we swept past him and on to the
building in which all lights went ou:
as we arrived. Charlie Cariffe. one of
my best raiders, entered through
window and opened door for us.
We quickly saw we had found an
enormous still occupying two floors.
The operators had fled when the lights
went out, but the still was in full
alcohol and we also found a large
number of 5-gallon cans filled with
the redistilled product.
Tried to Stop Departure.
I sent for trucks and workmen to
destroy the plant and then started to
leave, as there was nothing further
we could do. The man who had tried
to bar our entrance. now reinforced
by several comrades, tried to prevent
our exit. I at once arrested them.
The largest man in the crowd tried
to strike Cariffe. who is of moderate
stature. but I drew my pistol and
told them would shoot the first man
who made a hostile move. Cariffe
and Maj. Lyon, the third member of
our group, also drew their pistols.
As we waited for reinforcements, the
short stocky man, later identified as
the owner of the still, sidled over to
me and tried to persuade me to accept
his $4,000 car. Ito forget the still is

man prosecuted criminally as | had
hoped to do, but we managed to pad
lock that part of the building used as
a still.
