ROBBERS CRACK
SAFEGET $10
Cold, Silver, Money and Checks
Taken From Franklin Pen
Company 'Office
BELIEVE EXPERTS DID JOB
Robbers blew ope.n the safe of the
Franklin Fountain Pen Company, Gl
North Tenth Street, somo time after
mldniglit, and got away with approxi
mately 54000 In raw gold, silver, gold
pen points,'' money and checks.
Before opening the safe the men
collected old clothing nnd pieces of
cardboard scattered throughout the
plant. They wet the cardboard and
btuffed tho cracks of the shop windows
so as to deaden the noiso of the explo
sion. Tio safe waft in the second -stoiy
of the establishment, directly
against a window.
A hole was drilled in the door of the
safe nnd into it was poured an ex
plosive. The door was blown off as
cleanly as though it was of tin nnd had
been cut by n knife.
Nothing is the building was disturbed
by the explosion, indicating, detectives
say, that the job was the work of ex
perts. Two other snfes were in the place.
The key to one ot them was alongside
the safe, on a table. The safe blowers
tried to fit the key into one of the safes
and when it did not open they gave up
the job. They had selected the wrong
safe.
The only clue to the identity of the
robbers is a black shoe button found on
the floor near the safo that was blown.
Near the button was also found a
brown, sticky substance, some of which
is believed to have been used in the
blowing.
J. E. Goodrich, president of the com
pany, said tho robbers took" 4000 pen
points, valued at $2500; three ounces
of twenty-four-karat raw gold; 110
pennyweight of raw gold; three ounces
of silver; three ounces of,, iridium,
worm $mo an ounce ; $iu n money ana
$40 in checks. a
The foreman of theiplant.''found the
safe blown whenJieentere'dlthe place at
y:su o'ciock, tnis'mormng. lie imme
diately'uotlfied the police.
'" Mr'Goodrich declared that the estab
lishment had been robbed several times
before. lie said he is at a loss to un
derstand why no person in the streets
heard the explosion.
He added that the plant was getting
ready a big shipment of finished ma.
terial. This, he said, accounted for
the presence of so much material in the
safe.

One fireman was injured and another
overcome by smoke this morning In at

Supplce Ice Cream Company, which
caught on, fire while standing at Thirty-
fourth and Filbert streets, fl'hc truck
was completely destroyed.
The injured fireman is John Katcl -

mer, of engine company Iso. 5. His
left leg was broken and he received
minor burns. John Harkins, of the
same company, was overcome by smoke
and gasoline fumes.
The blaze is believed to have been
started by a leak in the gasoline tank.
Every effort was made by the driver
to extinguish the flames, but they soon
got beyond his control.
For a time it was feared that the
blazo would communicate to nearby
buildings, but the quick action of the
firemen prevented this. The loss was
about $2000.

Paris. June 7. It is announced. byjAjfji
a person clo-e to President Wilson thatf-M
the situation is less critical today. TuU.jvMj
however, is only superficially true rl3?;J
onlj because of the effort of the Prei-3?
dent to effect a compromise nnd hold t-3
gether the French nnd English' delegates.;
on some moderate basis of change in.tfa
treaty, which will not result in, deb
nor reopen the larger questions.
French have announced officially i
President Wilson and Premier Clcraeij
ceau are standing together, audi
American circles it is admitted tha
is not far from the truth. BotK!
opposed to the sweeping changes ii
manded by the English. Pre
Wilson nrobablv is willine to make i
changes than Clemcnceau. The fatw,
however, is not entirely opposed to 1
change. The greatest difficulty in. tJwO
way of the effort to effect harraonyf Ja .:
that German 'b strategic position
strong. If she refuse to sign the treati'gk
there Is reason to believe that publiCf-
opinion iu England yM prevent Lloyd
George from supporting any plan 'pi Ja
the Allies cither to put the blockade in -
force again or to use armed forces A
against Germany. v- M
Opinion iu England against the treaty M
seems to be almost unanimous. Thtiai
Liberals arc the most strongly OPP08!!!
to it, but the conservatives are l5g
attacking it. Big business in England!g
stands with labor in opposition. 8ome5fe
of the best judges think that any effort ""j
to coerce Germany to fulfill the terms ytt
of the present treat will lead to a 2?
general strike in England. For thlsSf
reason and because of the social situa-H
tion developed in France the condition .J&S.
of Peace Conference affairs today is 2QW
onlv superficially less critical. rt $jw9
The strike in Paris involves 4O0,O00g
workmen. This demonstration is notCJB
aimed against the treaty, but it serves Joypl
weaken the hands, of the CJemenceaoij
government and undoubtedly is helplne
Germany. ' ?M
