No ts ahve been made yet in con- tion with the theft. The burglars entered the store| by climbing up a wooden manway that extends from the beach be- neath the store to a front corner of the salesroom. Used Te Regulate Water The manway, which is just large enough to permit the ascent and | nt of a person, is used to turn ff and turn on water in a water pipe leading into the building from the main water pipe on Froat Street. Undoubtedly the thieves left the store as they entered it, by the manway. The rifles were taken from a rack behind the front counter. The missing revolver—a .22 caliber Smith and Wessen—was one of two in a front counter show case. The other revolver was not taken. The ammunition was also at the counter. May Have Stolen More articles may have been stolen, but none, besides the fire- arm and ammunition, has been missed by the management. The Juneau-Young Store was entered about a year ago by bur- slars and a number of articles taken. The thieves gained admis- sion then from the beach at the| rear of the store, sawing a hole |Wilson and Mrs. in the floor son. o Funeral services will be held at . 3 o'clock Sunday afternon in the Secretaries Marry Into Native Presbyterian Church.

He was shot in the back. Bovono's assistant, Angelo Sbar- dellotto, was bound in a chair and shot a few minutes after Bovono paid the penalty.

FARGHER GOES SOUTH MORATORIUM EXTENDED FOR BRIEF PERIOD Much Progress Being Made at Interna tional Conference LAUSANNE, June 17.—Great Bri- tain today offered to wipe the slate clean of reparations and war debts. The offer was made at the International Economic Conference. France however insisted in elim- ination of trade barriers as more important than cancellation of war payments. The German spokesman made no reference to repudiation of repara- tions but indicated it might be necessary to declare a morator- ium on private debts, most of which are owed Americans. The most important concrete achievement of today's session was the acceptance by Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and Japan of a temporary agreement to sus- pend reparations payments from June 30, when the Hoover morat- orium ends, to the close of the present conference. This sidetrack- ed the suggestion that the Hoover Holiday be extended another six months and assured continuation of the conference at least until next month.

It is feared others are dead. The four persons known to have been killed were caught by the second blast as they attempted to quench the flames.

Exit CANDIDATES OPENING THEIR HEADQUARTERS Curtis Had Close Call for Nomination—Wet Issue Growing CHICAGO, Ill, June 17. — The big Republican show is over, fol- lowing the adjournment of the con- vention yesterday afternoon, and the Democrats began moving in with even more imposing array and political stage trimmings for their convention on June 27. The vanguard of Democrats was here before the Republicans moved beyond the city limits. Advance agents of a dozen Dem- ocratic Presidential candidates will set up their headquarters over the | Week-end. Close For Curtis The outstanding events of the G. O. P. Convention was the up- ward surge of sentiment for Pro- hibition repeal, curbed only after the real battle of the convention, and another was final victory for Charles Curtis, for Vice-President. in the face of strong wet opposi- tion to him. For a time it looked like defeat. It was also a move- ment for a younger and more spec- tacular figure. Woman vs. Woman Then there was an under-cur- rent of the social war between Mrs. Dolly Gann;- sister of Curtis, and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long- worth. Mrs. Gann herself worked for months and at the convention for her brother. Had the field been able to get together and de- cide on another man, the result would probably have been differ- ent. e e HOOVER GETTING READY TO WAGE HARD CAMPAIGN First Battle Cry Will Be Sounded Within Next Few Weeks ‘WASHINGTON, June 17.—Heart- ened by the overwhelming support conferred on him and his Ad- ministration by the Republican Na- tion Convention, President Hoover, renominated, today began prepara- tions for the stirring campaign he must wage before the November election.
