ROBBERY IN STORE
MYST|F|ES POLICE
$14 Taken From TiII-Safe
DefieS ThieveS-OutSide
Locks Untouched.

Police are trying to figure out how
Sl4 was stolen from the cash register
of Peoples Drug Store at Nineteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue some
time between last midnight and 8
o'clock this morning, the doors and win
dows to the place being found securely
locked when the store was opened to-
day An attempt to rob the safe also
had been made.
The robbery was discovered shortly
before o'clock, when l.. L. Burrows,
assistant manager of the store. opened
up for the day. He Immediately noti-
fed police.
Headquarters Detective Arthur FL
helly, who investigated, said that he
was told that when Burrows opened up
the store he found the two locks on
the outside doors securely fastened, and
thorough search failed to reveal how
entrance could have been gained.
Fihelly advanced the theory that
someone could have been hidden in
the store before it was closed last night
but is admittedly baffled how they
could have gotten out without breaking
the locks on the door or smashing a
window or even letting themselves out
with key if the locks were on the
outside of the door.
A small safe under a counter in the
rear Of the store had been tampered
with, Fihelly said, and an attempt
had been made to break off its hinges
The combination dial had not been
molested.
T. A. McClintic of 213 Seventeenth
street northeast, driver for the w. A.
Simpson Dairy Co., said he delivered
milk in front of the store few minutes
before 3 o'clock this morning and no.
ticed at that time the locks on the door
had not been tampered with and every
thing seemed to be in order.

TEACHERS SALARY
DECISION APPEALED
U. S. Supreme Court Will Be Asked
to Review Judgment of
District Tribunal.

The United States Supreme Court
will be asked to review the decision of
the District Court of Appeals denying
relief to 48l District school teachers
who are asking increases totaling
100000 in their pay under the longevity
law. Paul Z. Lesh, attorney for the
teachers, today asked the Court of Ap-
peals to stay It's mandate to afford him
an opportunity for filing an application
Ill the highest tribunal in the land.
The appellate court last February re-
'Versed a decision of the Municipal
Court which had declared in favor of
the teachers, but left what was regard
ed as loophole for relief of teachers
having outside experience. Attorney
Eesh then asked for a rehearing of the
former cases and with his application
presented two other cases involving
teachers having outside experience be-
fore coming into the local schools.
The court, however, failed to find
any facts in the new cases which would
cause IL to rescind its former ruling so
in a per curiam opinion reversed the
Municipal Court in the new cases and
reaftirmed the ruling in the former
cases.
