YEGGMEN TAKE
$500 FROM SAFE
Thieves Thought to Have Used
Explosives in Grocery
Robbery.

Burglars last night broke into the
Sanitary grocery store at TIA Eleventh
street, carried a 200-pound safe to a
back room, where they broke it open,
and escaped with $500.
Raymond May, manager, 223 r street
northeast, discovered the robbery when
he opened the store for business ct
7 o'clock this morning. He notified
the police.
Headquarters Detective Oscar Mans
field, who was dispatched to the scene,
said that the safe had apparently been
pushed into the rear room with the
aid of long iron bar that was found
on the floor beside it. The hinges had
been sawed off and the safe so badly
battered that it looked as though an
explosive had also been used.
May told Mansfield that he visited
the store at o'clock yesterday after
noon and that the safe was at that
time in its accustomed place. With the
exception of the iron bar, the burglars
had left no tools or other clues that
might lead to their detection. Efforts
will be made today to obtain finger
prints.

An unofficial report was received at
national headquarters today describing
the suffering in Porto Rico, where, it
was said, $4,000 persons already have
contracted influenza. A successful effort
to combat the spread of this disease
will require great deal of money and
work, and Red Cross officials indicated
today their major work now will be
concentrated on this stricken island.

al headquarters early yesterday totaled

try, we may we'll fear that it will be-

world has ever seen, monopoly which
in the end may control the government.
Gov. Smiths speech on water power
Saturday night was great speech"
He said that it would be calamity
If the group of Progressive Senators
now up for reelection men who have
opposed the water power trust. failed
of reelection. He listed the Senators
for whom he proposed to campaign as !:
Senator La Toilette. Wisconsin, Re-
publican; Senator Frazier, North Da-
kota. Republican,; Senator Shipstead,
Minnesota, Farmer Labor: Senator
Wheeler, Montana, Democrat; Senator
Dill, Washington, Democrat; Senator
Howell, Nebraska, Republican; Senator
Johnson. California. Republican.
Senator Norris said there we've other
progressive Senators, but that these
were the only members of the pro-
gressive group who were up for re-
election this year.
Plans Stump Trip.
He is planning campaign trip, soon
to begin, which will start in Minnesota
and carry him through North Dakota.
Montana and Washington. He regards
the reelection of Senator La Toilette
in Wisconsin as absolutely sure, as we'll
as the reelection of Senator johnson
in California. He will wind up his CAM
paign in Nebraska for Senator Howell,
his colleague.
Senator Norris declined absolutely to
nnnlYp1it hir1colf in ronord m
tional ticket of either party. This is
much the same attitude he maintained
during the campaign in 1924. when
President Coolidge was running against
the late Senator La Toilette and John
w. Davis. Democrat.
The Nebraska Senator pointed out
that Senator Dill and Senator Wheeler
were running as Democrats in States
that are usually Republican and that
Senator Howell and Senator La Fol1
lette and Senator Frazier were running
as Republicans in States that might be
considered doubtful. He did not. he
said. propose to embarraSs their cam
paigns for reelection by talking about
the national tickets in his speeches in
those States.
Senator Norris is a powerful figure in
Nebraska politics today, the most pow
erful. If he remains neutral, the Re-
publicans will be content, though they
would be delighted if he came out TO.
the Hoover-Curtis ticket. If he came
out for Smith it would be great blow
to the Republicans in Nebraska and a
corresponding joy to the Democrats,
He retains the right, of course, to make
any statement he may desire when he
finally gets back into Nebraska at the
wind up of the campaign.
Views Farm Stand.
In reply to a question as to whether
the speech of Gov. Smith in Omaha OF
the farm issue had made votes for the
Democratic candidate, Senator Norris
said:
ITO any one who believes in the prin-
ciple of the McNary- Haugen bill and
considers the farm issue the paramount
issue in the campaign, Gov Smiths
speech must make a strong appeal. He
declares himself for the principle of
having the cost of handling surplus
crops allocated to the producers of
those crops. That is the principle the
McNary- Haugen bill was built upon"
