ROBBERY
Some time during last night on early
this morning burglars forced an entrance
to, ihe bAUdlng occupied by the City
Laundry, on North Fourth, street and
breaking Into the safe took I the contents
amounting1 to about 1300, ,v,
.'V Detective Cordano was) detailed on the
caas; and' he is satisfied that the safe
crackers are amateurs In that line. The
safe la an old-fashioned one and could al
most be broken into , With a sUck of
wood. All the burglars had to do was to
knock off the knob with a hammer, and
complete the Job by disarranging the
combination with a steel punch. Then
the door could be swunc open with ease.
Whoever did the Job were very deliber
ate In their movements, as they evident
ly counted over the -money, -and divided
it before leaving, the building. This U
mads evident by the fact that they leit
a .bad dollar on the floor. In speaking of
the case Detective 'Cordano said:
,. 'I think tramps did the work. The
sledge hammer used in "breaking. Into the
safe was stolen front tho O. R. A N. car
shops on the East Side, as was probably
the other tools I found beside the safe.
It is hardly likely ..; that a professional
safe-cracker would carry this heavy out
fit this far, when It would be Just as
easy to get chm nearer the scene of the
burglary. -V-. "
"It was simply an accident that the
burglars hit upon last night as the time
for the robbery. I don't believe In the
theory that some one familiar with the
place had a hand In It but still X may be
wrong. Usually there is very little money
left over night in the safe, but this being
pay day, yesterday's collections were not
banked." . - V
No arrests have been made.
' It Is probable that' Henry E , Dosch,
commissioner-general from Oregon to
four, great expositions, will be appointed
director-general of (hp Lewis and 'Clark
Exposition. He Is thought to be favored
by President Corbett and many of the
directors of the Exposition, , .
There are no avowed candidates for ths
place, but several names have been sug
gested. ,;, ' . t wi in,,, ijfcj.

efforts , to secure . the . appointment; but
several sitiseas have suggested bis name
and. urged his capabilities to the directors.
