on the part of the police, it would have been easy to catch the thief or thieves, according to employes of the store. A coincidence of the burglary is the fact that a door display case, which usually shuts off the exterior of the store, was not used and the store could be seen from front to back. The work was evidently that of professionals. An iron door in the alley was lifted and the thieves went to the cellar. Search lights evidently . were used as many shoe boxes were opened and emptied. Door Found Open. The door at the head of the cellar stairs was locked and the key left in the lock last night. This morning the
aoor was round open and the key was on the floor. Another curious fact regarding the robbery was the method used in getting into the cash register. This is an eight-door register with a sign above which lights whenever a key is punched, to open the drawer. The thieves used a bunch of keys they found and opened, the register from the rear. They then operated small levers and pushed the drawers open without lighting the "sign above. The money was in bills except about $15 worth of change. The banks were closed last night when the store was shut up and no opportunity was had to put the money in a safer place. Recently the Ross drug store was entered and robbed of about $6. An attempt was made to keep the robbery a secret because of the fact that two other robberies occurred on the same night in districts supposed to be well policed. As a result of several robberies in the north end business section at that time, the Eighth street, Fort Wayne avenue and E street merchants have secured a special police.

LEFT TO RIGHT: WOOD, CARRIGAN AND HOBLITZELL. The Boston Red Sox, outside of second base, present the most likely looking winning combination in either league. Bill Sweeney, the old Brave and Cub, has been signed to play second, and if he can come' back the Red Sox will be as near perfect in every department as it is possible to perfect a baseball team. Boston has regulars, Carrlgan, Cady and Thpmas, catchers; Hoblitzell, Jan vrin, Sweeney, Scott, "Wagner and Gardner, infielders; Speaker, Lewis, Hooper, Henriksen and Rehg, outfielders, and Leonard, Collins, Wood, Shore, Ruth, Foster and Gregg, pitchers. Good advice to ambitious recruits is not to try to break iato tbeRed Sox team during the 1915 season, unless you can show how Collins and Evers play second base.
Back to the Family; H New Social Theory
John Melpojder, . secretary -of the Central Charity Bureau, baa submitted, the following: "As public attention is focused juat now upon the burning of the Delaware county infirmary, It may be timely to observe that tnstituttounllam is gradually becoming recognised as an obsolete method of taking care of our dependents, be they ld or young. " 'Back to tbe family,' is the slogan of tbe modern social worker. To this end he has developed a 'placing out system' for the normal care of dependent neglected and even delinquent children, and the children's Institution, it not abolished altogether. 1s maintained merely as a temporary shelter pending investigations and as a clearing bouse and distributing center for tbe efficient operation of tbe placing out system. "(likewise, pur aged and Infirm should be placed out or boarded out in private homes at an allowance which would not exceed the percapita cost for maintenance of a humane county infirmary. Incidentally. It will provide means of a partial livelihood for semi-dependent people. Ignore Aged People. "We segregate the offender, but sometimes not. even then until such

Despite an Increase of over $600 In the current expenses of Second Presbyterian church and financial stringency during the past year the report of the treasurer given at the con
gregational meeting last night showed a good balance on hand. Reports from all departments of the congregation were received and indicated a large growth. Additions were made to the boards of the church because of the membership increase. About 150: members of the congrega
tion attencea tne annual meeting. "In the narrative of the session 79 members were reported added -during the church year with another Sunday to be included. The minister, . the Rev. Elmer B. Davis, predicted an increase Palm Sunday to bring this total over 90. . . Societies Grow. Growth in the women's societies, the Aid and Missionary society, was reported to be 45 in the former and 19 in the latter. The Aid society has a membership of 77 and the Missionary society of 31.

BIBLE INSTITUTE TO BE CONTINUED
That the Bible institute, which opens at the high school auditorium tonight, will be made a permanent annual feature of the Sunday school work in the city, was announced by Principal F. G. Pickell today.
Plans are already laid for holding a course lasting for thirty nights, next year.

The work will prepare teachers for passing the examinations of the state and international Bible study branches.

plant extensions and replacements.ic The city plant has never had a depreciation fund, and since its establishment its earning has been turned back
into plant improvements In the water works decision the commission ruled that improvements provided in such a manner can not be charged to capital acount, which is a basis for rate making. Definite Valuation. "I am confident the commission will determine the entire amount spent for plant improvements in the past and subtract the same from the plant valuation as determined by tbe commission engineers. In which case, even if a "going value" in excess of 125,000 is added. I think the total present valuation of the plant will be definitely established by tbe commission at a figure less than $300,000," Mr. Bavis said. "I cannot see how the commission can change to any- extent my estimates of fixed charges. A depreciation charge of 5 per cent on the plant valuation would replace the plant completely in twenty years, and that is recognized as the life of such a plant. I think that six percent on plant valuation as profits to the city is a very reasonable figure. I am confident that a tax charge will be provided although the plant does not have to pay taxes. The sinking fund charge Is already established and is providing a sufficient amount to provide for bonded indebtedness while my estimate for operating expenses, $50,000, is sufficiently high. Last year with extraordinary expenses amounting to over $25,000 the plant's operating expanses amounted to very little more than $59,000."
tured garrison of Przemysl to Russian prison camps is expected to require a week. Last night's official announcement stated that 119,602 prisoners had been taken when the fortress fell, but war office officials said today that these figures might be increased. Excellent conditions of surrender
were obtained by the Austrian prison-
era at Przemye according to informa
tion from Lemberg. The Austrian troops were cheered as they marched
from tbe fallen city with tbe honors
of war. The chief items of tbe Rus
