ATTEMPT TO ROB FAILS

Waslraugal
WASHOUGAL. Wash.. April II.
I Special. ) A bungling attempt was
made to rob the Clark County Bank
here early Tuesday, when robbers cut
a hole through to the roof of the vault
and attempted to blow up the structure
with dynamite. The attempt failed be
cause of the heavy railroad Iron with
which the top of the vault was pro
tected. An explosion at about S o'clock
awakened Henri Rlche. of the Commer
cial Hotel. City Marshal Olscn waa
notified and an investigation made
without any results. Nolac of a second
explosion slso attracted attention of
the Marshal and it is supposed bis
activity frightened away the Tobber.
The next mnrnln; fools were found
in the hank which had evidently been
taken from a boat house near by. Meth
ods of operation indicate the work was
done by amateurs.
'mur to the vault Is slight. City
snd county officials are working; on

Starting hla talk by the statement
that there was a rumor five years ago
that the student-body had no money
nor no credit, he was Interrupted by
Superintendent Powers, who declared
that such a statement was untrue and
Incorrect.
A tilt followed, in which Lafky de
clared he had the floor and practically
asked Powers to sit down. Lafky asked
Schrieber. during the course of his talk,
as to how student-body funds should
bo expended In the light of the criti
rism in the recent report alleging Im
proper use of the funds on the part of
some of the members of the faculty.
At this Schrieber gave a long talk In
justification of the report. Schrieber

there will be a decided scene.
From present Indications. It is said
that if the atmosphere does not change
materially before then, both Powers

will be asked to leave. What dlspoui
