and accepted the same with sin
cere regret. His resignation was
accepted with complete under
standing and full recognition of
the altruistic motives which have
prompted him in this action. In

WELLINGTON BANK SAFE
ROBBERY STILL A MYSTERY
DEPOSIT BOXES RIFLED OF
CONTENTS LOSS UNKNOWN
Believed Intruders to Have Looted
the Wrong Safe - Detectives
Without Clue to Identification

Three Baltimore detectives and
the State police of Maryland and
Delaware are loking for thieves
who robbed the Millington Bank
on Sunday night and made their
escape. The amount stolen is es-
timated by G. M. Melvin, the cash
ier of the bank, at between S400
and $500. The robbery was COM
mitted some time early Monday
morning, about the time that snow
was falling heavily and people
were asleep, or those who worked
at night had ben driven inside by
the storm. 1t is believed that the
robbers, who were undoubtedly
professionals, made a mistake in
robbing the safe which they open
ed and allowing the bank vault,
where the money and valuables Of
the bank were, to go untouched.
The bank does not run a safe de-
posit business. 1t had this extra
safe, or vault, and any of the pa
irons of the bank who desired to
place their papers or other arti-
cles in these boxes and store them
in the safe for protection were al
lowed to do so. The robbers are
believed to have thought that a
regular safe deposit business was
being done. They broke into the
bank by opening rear door and
then with an acetylene torch burn
ed off the knob of the combination
on the safe and then manipulated
the combination until it was open
ed. Having gained access to the
boxes the burglars took all of
them, about twenty, emptied them
of their contents and then made
their escape. The robbery was
discovered by @. M. Melvin, the
cashier of the bank when he went
there to open the bank Monday
December %. He at once
called John p Ahern, the presi-
dent of the bank, and notified
Sheriff Haddaway who in turn no.
titled the Maryland and Delaware
State Highway Police and also the
police in various cities Of the
country. Detectives were called
from Baltimore and made a care
full examination of the premises.
There were no niger marks found
which would lead to the Identified
tion Of the men who robbed the
bank. The burglars had worn
gloves so that no finger marks
could be secured. 1t is believed
that the burglars thought they
had robbed the safe deposit
branch of the bank and had made
good enough haul without at
tempting to open the bank vault
where the money of the bank was
Cashier Melvin said
that it would be several days be-
fore it would be possible to tell ex-
actly what had ben stolen as it
had been impossible so far to get
into communication with the own
ers Of some of the boxes. He did
not believe that the loss would be
more than S400 or $500. Most of
the boxes he said, were used to
keep insurance and similar papers
to prevent their destruction by
fire. There were two boxes which
had watches in them and he be-
lieved there was a small quantity
Of other jewelry but the amount,
he did not believe, was large.

forth to be Danny, in thought and in

IL she had been on the ranch, she
might have committed the murder.
She had all three of the primary mo-

greed. The unique feature in this
case-Miss Macdonald says that each
case has its unique feature-was that
the murdered girl had been duplicate

Pacihc Exposition, San Francisco, in 1915, and
other awards at the hands of his colleagues for
works in these mediums. He is represented in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, by
etchings; in the American Museum OF Natural
History by sculptures of Indians and by small
bronzes of Western subjects or subjects Of
laborers IN some of the leading museums of this
country. His painting of Girl and Goat" now
view at the Public Library, is a colorful
work broadly rendered, little suggestive Of his
etched subjects, but in a manner quite his own.
The painting by Hayley Lever in this little
group is a picture Of Rockport Harbor. Mr..

his work appears quite conservative. Hayley
Lever is represented in practically all of the
American art museums and many private COZ
lections.
The Spaniard represented here is Clttadini,
and his painting sets forth q realistic transcript
ton OF the opening of a grotto-rich colored
rock, deep blue sea- picture Of utmost interest
because of its color and pattern. A comprehen-
sive exhibition Of Cittadini's paintings was held
some years ago in this city at the Van Dyck
Galleries. conducted by Col French and Mr..
Cunningham. Cittadini at that time had a
studio on the Island of Mallorca, where it will
be remembered, the great Anglada- paints.
The Russian American, John Graham, is rep
resented by a still life subject-howers in q
vase-very modern both in technique and choice
of theme, arrangement of composition; the
Frenchman, Jacques Villon by painting of the
interior of machine shop, in which the artist
has found and manifested an interesting play
of color. Curiously enough, the complaint made
by some of the Hungarian critics when an
hibition Of American art was recently shown in
Budapest was that none of the artists had
taken machinery a theme whereas America
was great manufacturing country. The ma
chine shop which M. Villon presents is essen
tally that of his own country, where many of
the factories small and privately owned.

acquisitions not heretofore shown. These have
been placed in the two galleries to the right
Of the entrance In which formerly have been ex-
hibited otehings and Autographs.
The first Of these rooms is given over en-
tirely to one piece Of sculpture and leaves from
ancient volumes, mostly Persian, showing
quiSite miniatures. The bronze was produced
in South India during the twelfth century and
represents, it is thought, the Hindu goddess
Parvau. 1t is in perfect state of preservation
and is a most remarkable work Of art. Special
reference was made to this bronze and to its
importance in the history of art by Prof.
CoOmaraSwamy in his lecture East Indian

Society of the Fine Arts.
In the second gallery are more pages from
manuscripts with miniatures and one superb
panel, votive Offering found in the tomb of the

Searchers Discover
One TOledOan's Body

Toledo. O., June 18.-(P-The find
ing of several articles Of clothing and
the body Of John Liptack, one of
eight Toledoans lost in Lake Erie,
strengthened belief today that all the
men m dead. The manner of their
death remained as much q mystery
as when their speedboat was found
Sunday floating upright in Lake Erie
near West Sister island.
The fact that Coroner Frank G.
Kreft said Liptack's death was due
to exposure and not to drowning, in
creased the wonder why he had left
the boat. His body was discovered
yesterday floating In a life preserver
near where the boat was found.
In the boat were only three life
prcservers, whereas 1t had started
from Toledo with eight. Little Gre
dence was given to the theory that
the men had been victims of hijackers
with vengeance, kidnapping or robbery
as the motive. Search of islands in
the belief the men might have been
marooned was abandoned.
