THE MORNING STAR; WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1914. FIVE BURGLAR NEW BAG (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, June 15. The West Raleigh postoffice, the big jewelry es tablishment of H. Mahler's Sons, the Thomas H. Briggs &. Sons hardware store; the Boylan-Pearce Co., dry goods store and the Raleigh Motor Car Co., Lomls Goodwin, manager, all the biggest establishments, in their lines in Raleigh, were burglarized last night, but a comparatively small amount of loot secured. ( The door was forced and the safe blown open at the West Raleigh, post office and stamps and cash taken, the amount of which the postmaster, un der instructions from Postofflce In spector Chester, who is here , investi gating the case, declines to state. At the jewelry store of H. Mahler's Sons the rear aoor was forced and the inner fire-proofing shutters sprung so that the inner fastenings could be re leased. The burglars went through cases, drawers and stands of silver ware and jewelry, but made no at tempt to force the great safe where all the more valuable stock, is kept. The Messrs. Mahler have not deter mined yet. just what their loss is, but whatever 'it is is amply covered by burglary insurance. Only the second floor of the Briggs hardware store was entered end noth ing taken except a long coil of hemp rope that was used in scaling the ad jacent walls to the Boylan-Pearce store, which they entered through the jskvlight. They got no moneys here ,&nd the company has no means of tel ling Just what was taken from the stock. They do not consider their loss at all heavy. - It was the office of the Raleigh Mo tor Car Co., that was entered. The combinations of two- safes were -worked and about $100 secured. - The police are doing their best to trail the burglars, .but they seem to have left absolutely nothing that will serve as a clue. ,The robbery of the West Raleigh postoffice brings the United State3 government sleuths in to the search, all the robberies being believed to be the result of concerted action, if not all by the same parties.

Cooke, of Louisburg, and Solicitor H. L. Lyon, of WMte ville, arrived here this morning, ac cording to appointment, to take up tne matter of a writ of habeas corpus, for -which Mrs. Grover C. Hand, through her attorney, had applied to Judge Cooke some time ago, they found that she was the mother of a child only a few hours of age The little one was born this morning. Owing to the physical condition of Mrs. Hand, 4 who is' charged with the murder of her brother, George P. Jordan, less than a month ago, Judge Cooke considered a bond of $2,500 sufficient "to insure the woman's ap pearance at next term" of Superior court, which is expected to be con vened the first week in August by Judge O. H. Allen, of Kinston. He accordingly ordered Mrs. Hand re leased from custody upon the filing of bond in that amount. Mrs. Hand has been held in custo dy of the sheriff since two weeks ago," upon order of Judge Cooke, to whom application was; made for a writ of habeas cornus. .The application was made in Wilmington, following the ar rest of the woman upon order of the coroner and his jury. Immediately following the coroner's inquest over the remains of the deceased, the jury ordered that the woman be held in the sum of $1,000 bond, but later de cided they had no right to release her at all, and -ordered the sheriff to take her in custody. This was done and the application . for writ- of habeas corpus then was made. Judge Cooke ordered that the woman be not con fined, to jail but kept -under surveil lance at her home until the conven ing of court at Burgaw a week ago last Wednesday. During the. four days of court, it seems that the judge had no time to investigate the case, so he- announced that he would be here today to take up the matter, leaving Mrs. Hand still in custody, or under surveillance of a deputy sheriff at her home five miles east of here. During the term of court week be fore last, the grand jury returned a true bill for murder against the wo man and a true bill also against her husband. Grover C. Hand, charging him with being an accessory before the fact. He was placed under bond of $3000. The homicide occurred in the home of the father of the deceased, Mr. ueorge F. Jordan, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Hand -and the latter's brother,. George P. Hand, resided. The killing followed a quarrel, it is alleged, dur ing which, it is said, Mrs. Hand lock ed herself in her room for protection. It Is claimed that her brother had threatened to kill her, and that when he broke the door into her room she shot him to deathrTrs. Hand claims self defense. On the other hand, friends of the .deceased declare that he was a man of unusually peaceable nature and held in the highest eteem in his community. He was of local prominence as an Odd Fellow. The case is one of the most inter esting and remarkable in the history of Pender county. M'AOOO STANDS READY TO AID FARMING DISTRICTS. Secretary of the Treasury Will Lend Government Money If Needed. .Washington, June 15. Secretary McAdoo again stands ready to. lend a hand to Western, and Southern banks in case they need money for crop purposes, it was announced to day. The plan of lending government money to the banks in.' agricultural districts for use during crop moving season last year was so successful that it will be adopted this year if the necessity arises.

The total amount loaned to banks was $37,886,000. It went to 198 banks in 62 cities of 28 States. Secretary McAdoo announced he would lend $50,000,000, but that much was not sought. In fact, the Secretary was ready to lend as much as $200, 000,000 had the banks in the farming sections demanded it. NO MEANS OF ESCAPE. Income Tax Dodgers Must be Smooth Ones to Get by With It.

"The administrative officers of the Company have so increased the assets-of the Company as to make these equal the resources of many states and even nations. They have at the same time steadily cheapened the cost of insurance to policy-holders, both by direct means and by the distribution of bonuses." . . -... . - , ITho report shows that the Company has given hack $35,367,293 in bonuses to Industrial policy-holders in nineteen years. .

"That this notable growth has involved no sacrifice of efficiency in the handling of administrative details, but, on the contrary, has been the direct result of constantly increasing efficiency, is shown by the comparatively small losses sustained by the Company in proportion to the large investments made.'? ) ITS POLICY-HOLDERS SATISFIED. "The fact that the percentage of lapses due to the abandonment of their insurance by policy-holders is constantly decreasing, speaks eloquently to the same effect.1! .jmm The lapse ratio of Industrial policies has decreased 31.7 per cent, in eight years.
