THIEVES BORE
INTO STORE;
SCARED OFF

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An at
tempt to steal $5OO,OOO in furs
from a West Thirtieth Street
building was frustrated when bur-
glars became frightened and
backed out of their laboriously
constructed tunnel as a burglar
alarm brought police cars with
screaming sirens to the scene.
The alarm, sounded from a fur
shop next door, was believed to
have been set off with the acci-
dental breaking of a skylight,
but it sent the intruderS into
precipitate flight, leaving a val
liable stock of broadtail and Per
sian lamb pelts behind.
The entrance to the tunnel,
which police estimated repre-
sented about two weeks of toll
by four or five men, was in the
rear of a dilapidated frame
dwelling in West Twenty-ninth
Street.
The thieves had dug a shaft
four feet in diameter and IA feet
deep to a point below the fur
buildings foundation line. Then
they had run a nassagewav two
feet inside the walls of the build
ing and an upward shaft brought
them to the eight-inch concrete
floor. This they pierced with a
house-wrecking jack.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. %
G.N.S0.-Because of a "joker"
clause in the new Philadelphia
milk shed marketing agreement,
it was revealed today that house.
wives and other consumers be-
ginning Friday will pay one cent
a bottle instead of one cent a
quart more for their milk.
1t was at first believed that the

retary of Agriculture Wallace and
H. D. Allebach, president of the
Interstate Milk Producers Associa-
tion, would boost the price one
cent quart, but an additional
statement from Allebach indicated
that pints, too, will cost cent
more.
Beginning Friday the price Of
"a" milk in Philadelphia will be
IA cents a quart and 8 cents a
pint and "B" milk will be II cents
a quart and Z cents pint.
Allebach revealed that the new
agreement will give the farmers
$25O,OOO more a month in reve-
nues, while the total additional
cost to consumers will be $409, ,096
a month.
