No attempt was made to tamper with the vault, where the cash is kept.

Employes who opened, the office this morning found an iron bar about four feet long besides the cash register, and the cover that is placed over the machine, partially removed.

Entrance to the office was gained through the transom, although the door was open eight or nine inches. Fingerprints in the dust around tha transom were small, and the opening is not large enough to admit a man, so it is thought a boy did the work. The sheriff is Investigating the case.

NEW YORK, Oct. the White Star freighter Bovlc sighted an eastward bound submarine in the Atlantic yesterday morning she was ap- parentfv in pursuit of a Danish passenger ship, the Helllg Olar, according to observers on the deck of the Bovic.

which arrived here today. The nationality of the submarine was not identified. The Bovic, fear of attack because of being a freight ship, put on full speed and headed di- retcly west. At the time she passed out of the sight of the other two vessels the Danish boat still seemed to be endeavoring to escape from the submarine. The weather was clear and the Helliff Olav was between two and three miles distant at the moment she was flrst observed, with the submarine nbout one mile to the Dane's stern.

This was about 8:30 a. when the Bovic was approximately 200 miles east of New York. The Hellig Olav left here Thursday for Copenhagen, and other Scandinavian ports, carrying thirty-six passengers in the first cabin, thirty-seven in the second cabin and steerage erc. Many those in the cabins are Americans. At the time she was sighted by the Bovic the Dane was flying no flag, but hoi identity was distinguished by her name and the Danish flag: painted on her side.

The Bovic reached port with a gun mounted on her stern. Repiesentatives of the Scandinavian-American line said here today that the Helllg Olav carried no contraband and they did not believe her captain would undertake to escape from a submarine.

(Associated Press) FALLS CITY. Oct. 14--Charles E. Hughes today opened his campaign in Nebraska from the real platform of his car to a crowd of farmers at the station here. The nominee outlined his policy of a protective tariff, declared that the present prosperity of the country was due to the "stimulus of the European war," and that when the war ceased there would be a great deal of labor disappointed in this country." Mr.

Hughes also assailed the administration for its Mexican policy. He declared that extension abroad of American trade would not be accomplished unless American rights were fully maintained. "We must remember," he said, "that it is perfectly idle to ask American merchants, American engineers, American traders, the boys who go forth in the various opportunities that are afforded in connection with branch houses abroad, it is perfectly idle to ask them to go forward in the interest of American enterprise if the American flag does not mean full protection to every citizen lawfully engaged, wherever he is. AVe cannot have an extension of our foreign trade unless we have a recognition of the dignity of our citizenship and are prepared to maintain our own rights. Now, I am a man of peace.

to me is more extraordinary than the claim of this administration that it has kept us out of war. Only inexcusable blundering could have gotten us into war. "We did not lave peace in Mexico. We had war. It was an ignoble warfare; it was a personsl war.

It was not based on anything that is sanctioned by international law. It was a matter of vindictiveness to destroy the only semblance of government Mexico had. "We have had no proper policy of peace in Mexico. I desire to see peace maintained but it will not be maintained unless we have it understood that we do not propose to meddle with things that do not concern us and in the next place, that the just rights of our citizens with respect to their lives and property will be maintained." Attacks 8-Hour Law WYMORE, Oct. M--At the railroad junction here where the Hughes special stopped to change engines, several hundred railroad em- ployes crowded around the rear platform.

Mr. Hughes came out and waved his hand. "Tell us about ths Adamson law," someone shouted. Mr. Hughes had not intended to speak here but accepted the invitation.

"I think this bill was a 'gold brick' for labor," he said. "That is my opinion of it. I do not think it will get labor anywhere. If wages can be raised overnight in response to force, properly applitd, you can have wages reduced by law, sometimes overnight, according to the application of the proper amount of force. "I am absolutely opposed to dealing with things without knowledge and having legislation passed by either congress or state legislatures when the men who are passing the laws do not know whether they are just or not arid do not pretend to know.

That is not a fair way of doing business." Mr. Hughes spoke for five minutes, outlining his views on the law. He wai interrupted twice by applause. Hurricane Warnings Sent to the Gulf WASHINGTON, Oct. warnings to shipping in the gulf of Mexico were sent out today by the weather bureau.

President Tells Gov.

Whitman, Emergency Still Exists On Border. Sees Improvement In Mexico But Still Fearful of. Aggressions. (Associated Press.) t-ONO BRANCH, N. J-, Oct.

14, President Wilson, In a letter to Governor Whitman of New York, sent October 9, and made public day, declared that the emergency -frhleh caused the sending of tho militia to the Mexican border "unhappily still exists." He added, however, that believed conditions in northern Mexico are improving- and that In the near future It probably will be possible to "do more than has been, done to relieve thn embarrassments under which organized mtlltla regiments necessarily suffered." President Wilson wrote to Governor Whitman in answer to a letter from the Now York executive regarding New York militia organizations On tho border. The president told Mr. Whit- man that it was impossible to set a date on which the icmalnlng New Yorls regiments there could be released. The piosidcnt. In his letter, declared he had been advised by the war department that a withdrawal of militia at any tlmo since they werrt sent to the border "would in all human likelihood have been followed by fresh aggressions from Mexico upon.

tho lives and property of the peoplo of the United States." In his letter tho president paid a high tribute to the character of tha militiamen on the border and denied that any organizations were being there to perfect their military training. Tho Letter. The president's letter follows: "My dear Governor "Whitman: I havo received your letter ot September 20 havo taken up with tho secretary of war tho situation as it attests tho presence of Now York troops on tho border. From the beginning of the difficulty which necessitated the call for tho militia, 1 havo been deeply sensitive of the Inconvenience caused to tho members of these citizen militia organizations because of their separation from their families and from their ordinary business engagements and pursuits. "In order to minimize these sacrifices tho war department is pending to tho border from time to time which havo not participated in service there, and an each fresh tlngent goes to the border.

General Funston selects for return to their home stations and mustering: out such units as in his Judgment con best be spared. This policy will distribute this duty an wide an area as poa- nlble and make Its burdon fall as equally an Is practicable upon tile organized mllltla forces. It has already resulted In tho return of a number of New York organizations. The Fourteenth and Seventy-first infantry and First brigade headquarters arc at present in their state armories preparing to muster out. The Third Infantry in the ftate mobilization la going to muster out, the Second infantry la en- route from the border to the mobilization camp, also for muster out.

The First ambulance company and tho First regiment of field artillery have been designated to return from thn border to their state mobilization camps for muster out and the first aero company was not sent to the border mustered out at Mineola, N. Y. True, a substantial number of the Now York contingent either have been or are In course of being released from the federal service at this time and as other forces are sent to the border It may well be that General Funston will find It possible to afford our Neir York militia even further relief. "The emergency -which led to tha call of the mllltla was, as defined in my call of June 18, the possibility of aggression from Mexico and the protection of our frontier. This emerg 1 ency still unhappily exists and I am advised by the military authorities withdrawal of the militia at any time from the date of Its orginal call up to and including the present would In all human likelihood have been followed by fresh aggression from Mexico the lives and the property of the people of tho" United States.

The military have therefore bwn 1 used and are being used, to repel In- vasion and are rendering services of the highest quality and most urgently needed character to their country. "It would of course, be impossible to set a date at which the release ot tha remaining New York units can with certainty be accomplished. I am happy, however, to believe that the condition in northern Mexico is Improvuflf and that in the near future we will able to do even more than has been done to relieve the embarrassments under which these organized militU regiments have "I share your s.dmlration, my dear. Governor, for the spirit In which men have served and are serving: thfttf country and would be very sorry have it supposed that their retention on the border is for any of completion of their military training or any less commanding purpow than the preservation of our WOODROW -WILSON."
