Modern Cracksmen with 1 Electrically Operated Tools and Nitroglycerine Get Into a Big Safe. (Continued Prom Page One.) tbe safe this morning. A year ago when the bank wan entered by yeggmen, they wore frightened away by a warning given by Mm. Marie BeeMon. who heard the men drilling on the safo door, Finds Hit Horse Cone. Upon going to his livery stable at about 6 o'clock this morning Frank Morris discovered that his lmst horse and buggy, also several blankets and lap robes, had been stolen, the total alue of which Is approximately $350. He Immediately thought that the bank had been robbed and notified Miller, the harness man, who then got Oacar Kcrlin, the cashier, and an investigation was made. Things were found to be in a very bad condition. The Interior of the building was badly damaged and tbo safe, weighing tons, was turned completely around. The window panes were broken. The condition of affairs, as first viewed. Indicated that the robbers had been entirely successful, but a little later cashier Kerlln announced that the deposits In the Inner vault of the safe were untouched, although the door of this was twisted and an entrance could have been made by the burglars with a little more effort. A silver tray, on which was deposited the money carried over from Friday, to open business on Saturday morning, and estimated at between $300 and 1400, was taken from the apartment entered through the fire-proof or outer door. This was all that was taken, according to a statement made after the first Investigation. la the Inner vault, on the door of which the nitroglycerine attempt was made, were several thousand! of dollars. How Entrance Was Made. Entrance to the bank was secured by the yeggmen by prying open a door to the Odd Fellows ball with a chisel or Jimmy. In this hall at the foot of the stairway Is another door, which enters the bank rooms. 'This was knocked oicn. In the bank room, the experts openen the east window on the south side of the bank building and through this window ran their electric wires to the trolley wire and car rails, which furnished a complete connection, giving a voltage of 550. The first door was oiiened by melting the lock, but this process, apparently was not successful on the second door, known as the burglar-proof door. Nitroglycerine was Inserted ' In the cracks of the burglar proof door and the fuse set. In order to deaden the sound of the explosion the Innervault was wrapped with laprobes, , horse blanketa and sacks, obtained from the Morris barn. The explosion was of great force as wss Indicated by the havoc which It worked In the room. No clue has been discovered which Indicates the direction which the, men took In escaping, although it Is I nought they drove towards Oonnersvlllel where they could catch a Big Four train. 'The Institution Is a private bank and Is capitalized at $25,000. CURIOUS BLUNDERS. The Anachronisms That Crowded a Once Famous Poem. The medieval romauces are full pi blunders, making contemporaries of men who were separated sometimes by hundreds, sometime by tbounanda, of years, but as historical criticism bad not then a being and the general Information of the age was not superior In any particular to that of the novelist tbelr plans do not amount to much from a literary point of view. Kuch an Instance la the cae of Ariosto, who might be supposed to know something at least of the truth of history, but whose ooce famous poem.

START LEGAL WAR FOR JAST ESTATE "Lucky" Baldwin's Millions Are Being Contested for in Los Angeles, Cal. (American News Service) Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 10. What promises to be an almost endless litigation for possession of the millions left by Ellas J. ("Lucky") Baldwin is scheduled to begin in the superior court here Monday when Judge Rives will consider a petition for' the distribution of nearly the entire Baldwin estate, amounting to about 12,000,000. . For many years prior to the death of "Lucky" Baldwin, which .occurred at his Santa Anita ranch on March 1, 1909, the public was more or less familiar with his checkered career, but even those persona who shared his confidences most were scarcely prepared for the many sensational chapters which have been Inserted in the life story of the famous old bonanza miner and turfman since be passed from earth. If half that is rumored is true, the court proceedings now about to begin will reveal the persistence with which the old millionaire hammered the Seventh Commandment, beginning before he left Racine. Wis., way back in 1S50 for the California gold fields and continuing up to the very end of his remarkable career nearly sixty years later. Many years ago a friend of Baldwin was heard to remark that the millionaire , had knocked the Seventh Commandment endwise in nearly every county of the state, and that in nearly every county of the state a divorced wife or pensioned female sat mourning. But later developments would seem to indicate that the old man did not confine his wild oat crop to the fifty-seven counties of California, but extended it to other states as well. Matrimonial Ventures. "Lucky" Baldwin's matrimonial ventures were not less sensational than the startling fluctuations of fortune which made his life full of kaleidoscopic change. It is known that he was married when he startetd for California, and three times after he got here after the proper intervals succeeding divorce. In addition, he defended four different suits for breach of promise, and paid one judgment of $75,000. His life was twice attempted by women, one of these being Anita Baldwin, later said to be his niece who wounded him with a pistol shot in the Baldwin hotel tn San Francisco in 1883. Small wonder, then, that the old millionaire when he saw death approaching deemed it wise to add to his will a specific statement denying the existence of more than a single widow In an effort to provide against a possible contest in that direction. Although possessed of all the devil3 that usually drive men to destruction (with which devils he always was on good terms) "Lucky" Baldwin had the good sense to hold on to his fortune and increase it. Many times in the course of his sensational career it was reported that he was broke, and on several occasions these reports were doubtless pretty near the truth. But each time the astute old pTunger managed to recoup his losses and be died leaving many millions. Litigation promises to wipe out the bulk of the Baldwin fortune, distributing it among many claimants andj Mnucwug ii ucr uinuy iaies leaving i jonly the great Santa Anita ranch as his only memorial in the state from! which he scooped millions in mines : 'and stocks. What he had hoped at!

onc time would stand as an everlast- j lievc it does as much for me as my ing monument for the diffusion of his ! painting." However, in 1S27 his name and fame proved scarcely more ! friends succeeded in persuading him everlasting than a soap bubble. This to get his hair cut according to the prewas tha palatial Baldwin hotel and ! vailing fashion. On March 10 of that

; theater that he erected on Market! j street in San Francisco at a cost of i $3,000,000. All the culture and pride that he had were centered in that hotel. A few years after it was built he saw it go up In smoke, and as he watched the flames wrap themselves around it he wept for the first time to anyone's knowledge. C-urrin t'.n Siseuit. .

It appears to be the purpose of the Indians to look up the title to some lands'within your state t'jat they believe was granted to them through their forefathers, which was for service rendered your city and state in reconciling and subduing the Apache and other Indians about the year of IN SENATE FIGHT New Jersey Governor-elect Demands the Election of Primary Nominee. Trenton, N. J., Dec. 10. Governor Elect Woodrow Wilson crossed the Rubicon in politics last night by declaring that James E. Martine, Democratic primary nominee, should be elected to succeed John Keau in the United States senate, and that if Jas. Smith, Jr., were elected he would not go to Washington as the representative of the people of New Jersey. His declarations was in the form of a signed statement 'and was given out at Princeton after its contents bad been carefully considered. Realizes Delicacy of Position. The statement follows: "I realize the delicacy of taking any part in the discussion of the matter. As governor of New Jersey, I shall have no part in the choice of a senator. Legally speaking it is not my duty even to give advice with regard to the choice, but there are other duties besides legal duties. The recent campaign has put me in an unusual position. "I offered if elected to be the political spokesman and advisor of the people. I even asked voters who did not care to make their choice of governor upon that understanding not to vote for me. I believe the choice was made upon that understanding and I cannot escape the responsibility Involved. I have no desire to escape it. "It is my duty to say. with a full sense of the peculiar responsibility of my position, what I deem to be the obligation of the legislature to do in this gravely important matter. Smith Net People's Choice. "I know that tne people of New Jersey do not deoire James Smith, Jr., to be sent again to the senate. If lie should be, he will not go as their representative. The only means I have of knowing whom they desire to represent them is the vote at tbe recent primaries, where 4S.000 Democratic voters, a majority, declared their preference for Mr. Martine of Union county. "For me. that vote Is conclusive. I think it should be for every member of the legislature. Absolute good faith in dealing with the people and unhesitating fidelity to the principle avowed is t'ac highest law of political morality uader a constitutional government." Mr. Wilson's unqualified declaration for Martine followed a conference he had with Mr. Smith at the latter's home in Newark on Tuesday evening, when the governor-elect urged Mr. Smith to remove himself from the contest and to come out iu support of Mr. Martine. The Smith supporters in this vicinity last night expressed the conviction that Mr. Wilson's statement marks tbe beginning rather than the end of thefight. Audubon and His Hair. Audubon, the great naturalist, early in bis career wore his hair very long. He wrote in his diary one day: ."I wear my hair as long as usual. I beyear he wrote In his diary: "This day my hair sacrificed and the will of God usurped by the wishes of man.

Contest Between a Strong Swimmer and an Expert Angler. A novel contest took place some time ago at the Endiuburgh corporation baths between one of the strongest swimmers in Scotland and a well known angler. The contest occurred In a pool eighty feet long and forty feet wide. The angler was furnished with an eleven foot trolling rod and an undressed silk line. The line was fixed to a girth belt, made expressly for the purpose, by a swivel immediately between the shoulders of the swimmer at the point where he bad tbe greatest pulling power. In the first trial the line snapped. In the second the angler gave and played without altogether slacking line, and several porpoise dives were well handled. The swimmer then tried cross swimming from corner to corner, but ultimately was beaten, the match ending with a victory for the rod and line. Another contest took place In wklcb the angler employed a very light trouting rod ten feet long aud weighing only six and one-half ounces, the line belrrg the same as that used with the trolling rod. The swimmer, whose aim evidently was to smash the rod. pulled und leaped . Into the water. He was held steadily, however, and In about five minutes was forced to give In. The rod was again successful. At the finish both competitors were almost exhausted. Sure an One Point. "Do vou believe that great ; wealth has a tendency to keep a man out of heaven?' queried the party who was addicted to the conundrum habit. "I am not prepared to express an opinion on that subject," answered the student of human nature, "but I know that great wealth has kept many a man out of the penitentiary." Chicago News.

Mtio. He!e. Outrieu, Aviato.-y Called the "Human Arrow." ULLK. BKLCKS DtJTRXEU, FBKKCBWOMA AVIATOR. Mile. Ilelene Dutrleu, a Frenchwo man, has Just been officially recognized by the Aero Club of France as an aviator capable of managing an aeroplane. She celebrated the event by making a flight from Blankenberghe. in Belgium, to Bruges and back, the total distance being about fifteen miles. The feat was the more remarkable by reason of the fact that she carried a passenger with her. For the greater part of the Journey she flew at a height of about 1,250 feet. On reaching Bruges she circled the steeple of a church and then set off on the. return Journey, On. reaching Blankenbergbe she descended without mishap and was almost overwhelmed with congrarula tions. All records made by women in tbe air have been broken by her Journey. Mile. Dutrleu was at one time an attraction in one of the Parisian music balls. She was known as "the human arrow," her performance consisting of a leap of forty-five feet through space on a bicycle. She had been fond of cycling from an early age, and the sensational leap was her own Invention. It was considered so dangerous that tbe prefecture of police forbade it Mile. Dutrleu then turned her attention to aviation. She began practicing last year at Issy-les-Moulineaux and had a few mishaps in the course of her apprenticeship.. She has now successfully, gone through the tests required by tbo Aero club at Mourmelon, and her name has been added to the list of recognized women aviators. The three others are Mme. la Roche, Mme. Koechlln and Mme. Franck. What Maroel Provost Says.
