YEGG5 QUIT JOB
On BANK SAFE

HUGHESVILLE, Md, Nov. 25.
After burning through the steel
door of the vault, safe crackers
are believed to have been fright
ened off before they could cut into
the inner door and obtain the
funds of the Hughesville Saving
Bank early today.
Bank officials believe the yeggs
were frightened away before they
could obtain any loot, as the inner
door was found today still locked.
Used Torch
No one has been allowed to
touch the safe to determine if the
money if left, pending the arrival
Of detectives from Baltimore.
The robbery was discovered this
morning when bank clerks arrived
to go to work. The burglar alarm
had been disconnected and the
gang had gone to work with an
acetylene torch.
Left Tools
Local officers believe the ban
dts were frightened away. They
left tools behind in the rush. It
is hoped that these may offer
some clue to the identity of the
cracksmen.
It is believed that this may be
the work of the same gang that
cracked a safe in a store here
about two months ago, taking
$500.

QUEEN 'SLAY|NG'
PUZZLE SOLVED

A blood-stained handkerchief, a
pocketbook and notes telling Of
murder Of Queen Rose" found
yesterday afternoon in a grave
yard, near Leland, Md, led Off
cials of Prince Georges county
to suspect for a short time that
tragedy might have been COM
mitted there.
The discovery was made by
Allen Sweeney and Roy Smith,
Leland youths, who rushed their
find to the sheriff at Upper
Marlboro.
In the pocketbook, besides the
notes, were found a rosary, two
pennies and gas bills addressed
to John Leo Barr, 1923 Thirty
third st. N. w.
A visit to the home of Mr..
Barr soon diSpelled the tragedy
theory. It was explained that
the notes about the murder of
Queen Rose" were a synopsis Of
a play in which his daughter
Mary, years old, took part in
last summer.
Further explanations told that
Mrs. Barr had lost the articles
last summer when she was re-
turning with her children from a
visit to a beach. Billy, her 5-year-
old son, fell and cut his leg. Mrs.
Barr wrapped a handkerchief
around the cut but as the ban.

at the cemetery to remove it. It

A story of being invited for
an automobile ride and then be-
ing left stranded in Middleton,
Md, with only so cents between

posed to be the owner of a ser,
vice station at Eighth and L
Streets Southeast and after visit
ing Harpers Ferry started home.
On the way, another man named
Al Stokes and a woman were

their car was forced from the
road by another machine which
was following them and Pitts was
ordered by the occupants to hand
it over" Lynch and the girl and
young Scocca left the machine
only to see Pitts step on the gas
and speed down the road followed

CORRECT THEY ARE

Quoting MT Connors, Demo Nation Committee, "The fight against the system has been too long and bitter, verging often onto victorious, and too recent in it's ending for the people of the First Division to be misled into thinking that the promises now being made by Troy-Con- nors, combination, "are sincere in a proposal to change the system"
 Changing the spots on the leopard does not change the leopard one iota. Tho the cham eleon change it's color ever so often it remains a chameleon. And tho the Empire changes it's tune and color ever so often, it is the same old gang of high binders. And just the mere changing of those politicel tunes does not secure the confidence nor faith of the electorate.

HE WAS DELEGATE
 IN CONGRESS

George Grigsby was Delegate in Congress when the Jones Marine Act was passed by which Alaska is made the goat. That law permits the use of Canadian lines and boats FROM Chicago to Vancouver South to Seattle, but PROHIBITS the same goods in the same ship NORTH to Alaska.
 George says he was in Cali fornia. He also says he was sick Others who claim to know say that he was in California and that he was sick-and they grir when they say he was "sick." In every battle between the special interests that have milk ed Alaska, George Grigsby vii be in California; sick" It may be an alibi but it is no excuse

TIT IS AN ERROR"

Says the Democratic national committeeman ''in making the office of Commissioner of Educa- ton elective since it will inevit- ably bring the school system of the Territory into politics"
 The vail of the Empire and it's committeeman is Full Terri torial Government. But it does not want the electors to have any choice in the election or appointment of it's commissioner of education. Rather it would have that office appointive and responsible to an official ap- pointed from and responsible to Washington. It is rank hypo- crisy to say that Troy and his henchmen are working for full territorial government when II and they oppose every measure of elective government.
 Why not oppose election o1 delegate and the legislature and why not have those offices ap- pointive. It will insure perpetu- ation of federal political ma- chine which will give it's pat ronage to the Empire and holc in line the bunch of transients by keeping their feet in the troughs.

Xake was in Juneau and there met his old friend J. J. ConnorS. Mr. Connors introduced hopeful 1om Gaffney to SaWa and then aunched into his camp ,i9n talk aid he, "Guit voting the Re

HEADS I WIN,
 TAILS YOU LOSE

In Alaska the cannerymen have supported the trap system because it is the most efficient, least expensive and is a labor saving device in contrast with the purse seines.
 Tn Washington, these same cannerymen want the purse seine restricted because it is too efficient.
 We expect to hear George Grigsby explain this paradox for lie has had the support of these canrers and now that they re- fuse longer to cast away their pearls he has turned against them and is advocating an anti trap plank. Perhaps he will ex- plain the inconsistency of the statements. PERHAPS!

THE ALEXANDER BILL

The people of Alaska need eX rect no help from GrigSby il matters relating to fisheries le gislation. The worst law eve, proposed for management Of tn fisheries was the Alexander Fis. Bill, sponsored by the Wilson administration. Under it thf canneries would have had til to their trapsites and to thf waters wherein their traps stoo and it would have been unlawful 10 fish WITHIN ONE MILE or THE TRAP. It further curtaileo the powers of the legislature tC tax any part of the cannery business in Alaska. This nefari ous bill was defeated by the skill and ingenuity of Delegate Wick ersham. By parliamentary tao tics the Judge talked the bill of the floor of the House of Repre- sentatives and killed it till i could raise it's head no more.
 Until George Grigsby and his cnonSOrS who Onn0Sn 9nv leQiS- lating of the trap system out ot existence show that they vii not try to cut our throats, the economic throat of the fisher men and resident business men they need expect no votes from the electors, no matter how bad ly we are or may be treated by the Republicans.

cannery.

Tom Gaffney, that noble de- fender of and friend of labor, would stand for no such provi- sion. Pooling working girls, forcing them to work for $3.50 an entire season, net, driving them into prostitution, because labor's noble champion held it a sacred right of Capital to take it's toll from the flesh pots, from the decency and virginity of American WCmanhood. So fool no and defrauding these girls remains a protected industry and will remain such while the Gaffney-LOmen brand of pants wearerS are elected into office.
 Tom the Friend of Labor cCEnes before the electorate and asks the labCrerS to elect him on his record-as their friend. If they did-he would be elected to 20 back to his Lomenized town Fl the Boring Sea.
