Entrance Gained By Blocking Glass Out of Transom. 8afe Frtaed Open and RifledNo Clue m to Identity of I Thieves, But ' ' Thought There Were Several of of Them. ' The store of M. C. Walter Company ob West Depot street waa entered last night and a quantiy of goods and $200 in money was stolen. Entrance was gained by knocking the glass out of the transom over the front door. It is thought that several persons eommitteed the robbery" as the door waa nnloeked from the inside. This fact makes it plain that one person crawled through the transom and nn loeked the door for the others to en ter. The inside door of the safe was prised open and a drawer containing $200 i nmoney was taken. Mr. R. B, Biggera, .manager of the store, stated this morning that the outside door of the safe was very, probably left open., On the floor around the safe was a number of match "stabs," which indicated that the thieves spent some time in prizing open the inside door of the safe. A number of arti cles of various kinds are missing from the stock of goods. There is not the alightest clue as to who committed the robbery. Mr. Biggera stated this morning that be was doubtful of the tbeives would be apprehended on account of the fact that there waa no way of identifying Ue money, whereas if they had taken a large quantity of goods it would be an easy matter to identify them in ease, they were found.

Mr. Bryan had announced his in tention of introducing a resolution in effect discharging the national com mittee from conduct of the eoming campaign and allowing Governor Wil son to appoint his own campaign com mittee. He was dissuaded from this course and instead of making a move that might have stirred tip strife, be made a little speech which' he termed his "valedictory" and in happy vein turned over the mantle of his former leadership as a presidential candi date to Governor Wilson. - He pledged his faithful support to the presidential nominee and ended by urging that either Governor Burke or Senator George Chamberlain, of Oregon,, be nominated for Vice Pres ident. The Nebraskan 'was under stood particularly to favor Governor Burke as a type of the modem . pro gressive.

The governor believes in re form in moderation. Also he be lieves in progressing with modera tion. He does not believe that this great and glorious commonwealth is going to the "demnition bow-wows," in fact he points' with pride to his belief that the country is just a little bit better politically, financially and morally than ever before. It required heroic measures on the part of his friends to induce Gov. Marshall to take his presidential chances seriously and even then be re fused to allow any effort to be made in his behalf outside of the State of Indiana. :V "The Presidential nomination is a thing too big to run after and too big to run away from," was his com ment on the situation. "It is sure to overtake yon if you should happen to be the man really wanted by the people." That waa his attitude when Indiana Democrats urged him to "come out" and after be got the indorsement of CIKCOS DEFEAT SPENCER.

The whole Speneer team kicked vigor ously. The hitter raj to third and there be stopped. Why he stopped at third will never be known, as the balled rolled through a crack in the fence and if he was entitled to any thing it was a home run. Anyway the captain and whole team kicked. John M. Oglesby was umpiring. The captain said the ball was fair, the um pire said it was foul. The former re fused to continue to play and under the rules the game was forfeited. . When the bolt came the grandstand which is near the third base line, was divided, a number expressing the opinion that the ball waa fair while others were of the opinion, it was foul. It is to be earnestly hoped, however, that the abrupt ending of the game and the fact tbat it was not played to a finish will not in anyway hurt the interest in the game here and cause the attendance-to fall off. The Cinoos were in no sense to blame. The boys from - Spencer evidently thought their kick was a just one. Thev refused to play after the ball was bit and the only tbing leic under the rules to do was to forfeit the game.

It and bis political history that that "Little Giant" term ia understood. The Governor likes bis friends and he will stand by them through thick and thin to the M ditch.

Washington, July 3. An adminis tration scandal may develop from letters sent to President Taft and Secretary MacVeagh, by Assistant Secretary A. Piatt Andrew. . On re signing his position Andrew criticized MacVeagh a conduct of department and speaks of MacVeagh 's "indecis ion and attitude of hostility to offi cials in the department." In a letter to Taft Andrew names many bureau heads aa having trouble with Mac Veagh. Andrew made no comment, except his letter. Andrew is advisor to the monetary commission and practically const: ucted the Aldrich central bank bill plan. A statement issued at the White ; House said : Andrew's resignation was request- id, submitted and accepted in view of his failure to obey orders given by the secretary." Andrew cited in stances where he declared MacVeagh refused to have relations with Secre tary Hilles then assistant secretary to treasurer. Treasurer McClung has only allowed one interview with MacVeagh in more than a year, ac cording to Andrew Director Ralph, of the bureau of engraving, was sim ilarly treated. He said MacVeagh haa the delusion that bis subordin ates are conspiring againsthira. He treated efficient aides, Andrew said. with "harsh ingratitude and lack of consideration, little abort of brutal."

Now ia tha Tinw for all Goad CitUena to Coma to tha Aid of tha Baseball Team. A meeting wss held at the court house last night for tbe purpose of considering ways and means of secur ing a winning ball team for Concord. The object of the meeting was stat ed by Mr. Claude West Mr. West reviewed tbe situation in the Pied mont League, stating that with the addition of three other men, it would so strengthen the team that the same team played here could also go to the other towns and play. By the present arrangements there are a number of good players who can be with tbe team here but cannot go away on account of other duties. This fact haa caused Concord to loee a ma jority of the games away from here. Mr. West pointed out the advantages of a winning ball team as an adver tisement for a town. He took as an example the hustling little city of Wadesboro, which for three years had had a ball team that literally put Wadesboro on the may of live towns in Worth Carolina. High Point has already recognized the value of a gjod baseball team and the business men there were supporting tbe team in a most substantial way. Mr. West stated that in his opinion with the addition of Winston, a heavy hitting catcher, Meadows, the young phenom who twirled such sensational ball for Horner's this season, and j Fred Patterson, the local team could be whipped into a winning combina tion and easily cop the gonfalon on the Piedmont race. All of these men can be secured now, but if action is not taken at once they will likely sign with some other club. For this reason the man agement of the local club decided to make an effort to secure funds suffi cient to sign them and to also run the team the remainder of the season. Manager Weddington stated that by selling 100 season tickets at $5 each the team could be run through the remainder of the season and the additional men secured. It was also decided to give alawrflSff?"8aftlr?1 day evening on the courthouse lawn and in this way raise funds. To as sist in carrying out the above plans the following committees were ap pointed : Committee on season tickets Ross Cannon, J. C. Witleford, A. R. Hoover and John M. Oglesby. Committee on donations W. J. Montgomery, Jr. Committee on ice cream supper Mesdames W. J. Weddington, N. A. Archibald; "Misses Ashlyn Lowe, Mary Hartsell, Alice Brown, Laura Ridenhour, Mace Lafferty, Catherine Goodson, Nannie Lee Patterson, Mary Branson Coltrane, Mary MacLaugh- lin, Laura May West, Mariam Morris, Margaret Virginia Ervin, Helen Marsh, Minette Marshall and Mar garet Bell; Messrs.

The stampede did not end until 990 of the 1,088 votes in the convention had been cast for the nominee. Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, was seen making his way to the stage. Word flashed over the great armory that his purpose was to withdraw Mr. Underwood from the race and release his delegates to vote for whom thi- saw fit. The only display of temper mark ing the nominating session came from some of the Missouri delegates. They demanded to know of Senator Bank- head why Mr. Underwood had not wuudrawn when Clark appeared to have a chance for the nomination and accused the Underwood delegates of "faking." Senator Bankhead paid no heed to the questions hurled at him. He said Mr. Underwood desir ed tbe success of his party above everything else and would not lend himself to any plan to prevent a nom ination. Senator Stone of Missouri, who had Deen in consultation with Speaker Clark, climbed to the stage and re leased in the name of the speaker all of the delegates who had been pledged to him. l. r: .. . votes for old Champ Clark to tbe end.
