Bandits Into Building.
NEW YORK, April 20.— Police are
are on th<; lookout for a pretty sten-
ographer, said to be one of the heyds
of a party of nine safe-blowers, who
entered the Royal Insurance build-
ing here, three days ago, and carried
sway loot valued at more than $50.-
000, after blowing seven vaults and
safes in various parts of the building
It is declared that ths girl, said to
have been employed In one of the of-
fices for several weeks prior to the
daring job, is a professional infor-
mation gatherer for the gang of safe-
blowers. She obtains employment In
buildings where the gang intends to
work and then secures data upon the
opportunities offered for the best
hauls.
George Breckenridge, a watchman
whd was found bound and gagged
shortly after the building was looted,
confessed later to having let nine
men into the building after being of
fered a large sum of money. When
first discovered he declared that he-
had been overpowered by the gang
of burglars.
Detectives on the case declared
that a master crook was at the head
of the deal and that he made all the
arrangements and made the proposi-
tion to the watchman and had the
girl placed in the building. Detec-
tives declined to state the mans
name.

SEATTLE MAY GET
3 KENTGftR FARE
Proposal For Maintenance By
Taxation Up To Voters.
SKATTLE, April 20 This city m \y
!w\e the y-eent tar fure on itn mu-
nicipal railways as the result of a
bill before the voters in the coming
election which provides that all costs
for maintenance and operation of the
car system must be paid from taxa-
tion. Only interest and redemption
charge.* to the Iioston bondholders
from whom the city bought the rail-
ways, would be paid from the fares.
The proposal is backed by Coun-
cilman Oliver T. Krlckson. nationally
known as a warm advocate of mu-
nicipal ownership. The theory be-
hind the bill is that the taxpayers,
who will own the railways when
they ale paid for, should help pay
the $15,000,000 cost with added inter-
Inasmuch as the heavy property
holders use limousines Instead of
street cars for transportation, they
are evading their share of the bur-
den although without transportation
neither their large downtown or su-
burban tracts would be worth one-
tenth of their present value.
Small home owners would save up-
ward of $50 a year under the Erlck-
son plan, It is estimated. The pro-
posal has the unanimous backing of
the Central Labor council and the
unanimous opposition of the chamber
of commerce.

MEXICAN SECURITY

secretary. Pan-American Federation
of Labor, in the current American
Eederationist. He attributes the new
security or democratic power In
