~ BURGLARS OVERLOOK|COAL CONFERENCE IS $10000; GET $io4 DELAYED 3 HOURS Break Info Besse-Leland’s and|Some of the Participants Late in Rifle Gash Register Two Main street stores, one Hart- ford avenue grocery store and a gro- cery store in. Belvidere were entered and an attempt was made to enter another ¢«Main street store on either Saturday or Sunday: nights, according to reports received at police head- | quarters'yesterday and today. In all but one of the stores the would-be turglars did not succeed in stealing anything. Chief Willlam C. Hart has assigned Sergeant Michael J. Flynn to ‘conduct an investigation in all of the cases. At the Besse-Leland store on Main sireet $184 in cash was stolen from & cash register in the, office on the maif’ floor while the safe was un- touched. According to Mr. Leland's story to Bergeant Flynn there was a considerable amount of money left in the safe Saturday night when the store was closed. The burglars failed to get $10,000 which was in the safe. No attempt was made to open the safe. The visi~ tors also overlooked $85 in another cash register. Sergeant Flynn upon investigation, learned that the burglars made their entrance by way of a door on north sida of the building. This was jime=3a open, he said, and the police have the jimmy at headquarters. Part of an old sewing machine which was evidently found in the rear of the Singer Sewing Machine store on Church street-was also used as a means to open the door as were a fountain pen, an eversharp pencil and a large key, all of which were found near the door. Sergeant Flynn said that the pen, pencil and key were badly bent where it is believed an at- tempt was made to use them in springing the lock on the door. Sergeant Flynn said this afternon that he could not say whether the break was made on Saturday or Sun- day night. Mr, Leland made a thorough inves- tigation in the store hut could not determine whether any clothing had been stolen. He expressed the belief to Sergeant Flynn that nothing but the money had been taken. A fow cents in change was left in the cash drawer, 5 Three men, aged about 18 years, ;. were chased through the Belvidere section of the city by Policeman !

The door leading to the winaifi store-was locked and the police- man found g hole cut ip the panel of the door which cnabled the burglars to reach the lock.

Insect life in New Zealand does over $35,000,000 damage a year. the | Arriving at Scene Atlantic City, Aug. 20.—~The open- Ing of the wage conference between anthracite operators and officers of the miners’ union was delayed three hours today. The ference was scheduled to begin at o'clock this morning., Failure of some partici- pants to arrive in time was said to be the reason for the delay. The operators were headed. by Bamuel D. Warriner, chairman of the anthracite operators’ policy commit- tee, and the miners by John L. Lewis, president ‘of the United Mine Work- ers. The negotiations were resumed through the intervention of the Unit- ed States coal commission and will be conducted under a closer federal scrutiny than heretofore, in agreeing to a renewal of the negotiations. Vepy little progress had been made when the conference broke up last month, and today they started on practically the same footing as when the miners’ demands were at first for- mally présented. Included in the demands of the men are a 20 per cent increase in wages, full union recognition includ- ing the check-off and a universal eight hour day. The operators have agreed to abolish the twelve hour day, which prevails in some branches of the industry and to submit to arbi- tration all other disputed points. Ar- bitration was refused by the miners’ representatives, who in the previous conferences also declined to remain at work after September 1 in case of failure to reach an agreement on a new contract by that date. GROUND GLASS FED T0 CARSON, HE SAYS Man Accused of Helping Hammer Murderess to Escape From Jail M‘xed Up in Revolution Plans New York, Aug. 20.—Jesse C. Car- son, agcused of heiping Clara Phillips, hammer murderess, to escape from Jail in Los Angeles, who arrived in New York yesterday aboard the steamship Ulsa, today declared he would have to undergo treatment for ground glass which he said had been put in his food while he was impris- coned in Honduras. ‘When Mrs. Phillips was captured in Honduras she told of plans to over- throw the government there—plans which were to raise Carson, then her protector, to a high place in the new government. Today Carson recited the same tale, with additions. He hinted that he was an agent of the revolutionists engaged in transporting $80,000 and some rifles from Mexico to Honduras. Throughout his story Carson re- ferred mysteriously to an American official in Honduras at whose door he laid most of his troubles. According to Carson this official professed to be heart and soul in the revolution and then double-crossed him. Carson told how he escaped from prison in Honduras by using a fake rifie whittled from a bed post. 346 DEAD IN KOREA ARTER STORM AND FLOOD Tidal Wave Raises Havoc—More Than 1,000 People Missing—25,000 Houses Submerged By The Associated Press.

Expect- cd to Be Sensation, London, Aug. 20—The aim of Bri- tish airplane builders, for some time past, has been to produce a powerful muti-cylinder engine which would cool itself merely by reason of its own swift passage through the air. This would eliminate radiators, water- jackets and other impediments in wateg-cooled engines. Some of the best brains in the air would have ‘been endeavoring to solve this prob- lem. Thé Duke of Sutherland, in pre- senting the prize to the winner of the recent English aerial derby, remark- ed, “This day has seen the triumph of the air-cooled engine,” and it is now believed that he was revealing the official significance which is at- tached to the result of the race.
