E1Y MORNING
.... SPRINGFIELD, Ore., Jan. 81.
(Special) Loot valued at about $20,
including a silver compact, a watch,
eilk-lingerie, and a small sum In
change, was taken from the home of
Mr. and Mrs. George H. Ditto, 2U8
Vj street, Springfield, at about 4
o'clock yesterday morning. Entrance
and exit were made through the front
door, which had been left unlocked
during the night. Though only one
man entered the house, as far as could
. be learned, two men were partners in
,' the robbery, according to Chief of
Police Charles Nolf.
: The thieves, one of whom , wore
about an eight shoe, and the other
about a number six and a half, made
a tour of the grounds, leaving their
footprints sear the house and under
two or three windows which they
.tried to force. The one who entered
ithe house bound his feet up with nap
ikina which were hanglng on s line on
Ithe back porch, after he found the
i front doer unlocked. Muddy tracks
'were not found through the house,
due to this device, but the discarded
napery was left.
i The room occupied by Mrs. Ditto
was entered, and she was awakened
by feeling someone touching her face.
' Bhe screamed, and summoned the rest
of the household, but not before the
.thieves had made their escape. It is
thought that the robbera were after
I her jewelry, since she bad worn to
!bed three valuable rings, a wrist
watch, and a bracelet. The silver
.compact was taken from the dresser,
'the watch snatched up from the din
ting room table, and the sum of money
from a dish in the cupboard. The silk
lingerie, which was stolen from the
bedroom, waa found later in the day
' along the railroad tracka a few
'blocks from the Ditto r'esldence,
where the burglars had evidently dls
carded it either because of Its bulk or
because they feared they could not
dispose of it.
Mr. Ditto's room had evidently hot
been entered yet, since his pocket-
hook was lying on the chair by his
bed. The silverware was not touched.
The burglars, whoever they were,
'left behind them as a clue two largo
I yellow apples, evidently tnken from
their pockets and laid on a window
ill. Police are working on the case.

! Damage in January, 1025, $2.45.
The foregoing report tells its own
. story, says W. E. Nuebsum, chief of

destroyed.
1 "All we have done this month is
i to answer fire calls," ssts Mr. Nu
baum. "Three of those were flue
fires, and two resulted from an ima'
tcur's attempt to thaw out a water
Dire." '
Mr. Nusbsum and his entire fire
fighting staff is hoping thst the pec
rle of Eugene will approve the mess
ure to enlarge the fire department
and provide room for housing the
$25,000 worth of new fire equip
ment recently purchaaed and deliver'
ed to the city.

Business ss usual. " says Dr. F.

In November, 1023, Margaret W.
Rowan, to them an inspired mouth
piece from the supernatural, spoke
from a deathlike rigidity:
"The socond coming of Christ
is nearing. He will come person
ally, literally and visibly to res
urrect the righteous and trans
port the elect to heaven."
"Thst was more tan a year ago,"
declared the doctor, speaking solemnly
in the cubbyhole kltehcn cabinet,
which is his medical office sanctury

"We expect the prophecy to bo ful

states the doctor, there Is the word
of Scripture. Ho otters this from 12
Daniel:
"At the time of the end msny

shall be a great increase in knowledge."
"What is more descriptive of life
today';'' asks the doctor. "The Jasa
age, an age of running to and fro,
and our sudden vast increase in .scicn
tific knowledge perhaps surpasses the
combined increases of all other gen

Mrs. Rowan, who started It all,
has not much to say. She is consider.

who from a moribund trance speaks a

However, other predictions of hers
have come to pass, avow members of
the sect. And the group is willing
"stand to full stigma" should this
most momentous prediction fail.
, "I am not rcody to soy just whnt
wo will do in cubc this test should
fail," declares Dr. Mullmer. "In
such case, I will bo here practicing
medicine, and doubtless the others
will go ahead also."
Dr. Fullmer, denies that tbo Re
formed church plans any special cere

Whether there Is yet time for the
