YE66S BLOW UP
SAFE AIGIC

mm NITHO-GIA'CEJUNE ANp
UKT AWAY WITH »100 IN
MONEY AM) STAMPS.
After burglarizing the store
owned by A. Uddenberg at Gig
Harbor, a suburb of Tacoma, a
party of yeggs last night forced
l Ik- rear door of the potttoffice at
that place, rolled the 900-pound
safe out upon the beach where
they blew it open with nltro gly
cerine, and escaped with the con
tents. They secured in all about
$100.
Uddenberg, who is also the
postmaster, reported the affair to
the police and the United States
marshals office when he discover
ed the robbery today. The sound
of the explosion did not awaken
anyone In the neighborhood.
It is believed the safe-crack
ers took to a boat after they had
completed their work and escap
ed across the Narrows, as no
tracks could be discovered leading
away from the wrecked safe.
They then went at once to the
postoffice which is but a few
feet distant from the store build-
Ing. Here they smashed in the
door.
The safe was rolled and skid
ded to the beach and blown to
atoms. Besides about >90 In
money the safe contained several
dollars' worth of stamps. These
were also taken.
Peter Stenso, deputy sheriff,
and H. J. Doten, deputy XT. 3.
marshal, went over this morning
to Investigate the robbery, taking
along a John Doe warrant sworn
out by the assistant postmaster
here before U. S. Commissioner
.lainicson. There is no clue to
the perpetrator of the Job, how
ever.

N. Y. Millionaire Society Woman
In Politics 12 Hours a Day
MR3. J. BORDEN HARRIMAN.
What Mrs. J. Borden Harriman,
Millionaire Society Woman,
Means by Deserting "400" to
Battle for Wilson.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Mrs.
J. Borden Harriman, pet of New
York's "4 00" and wife of a great
millionaire, has come out of her
luxurious country home on Long
Island to spend twelve hours a
day in a hot office organizing the
women of this country in a na
tional Wood row Wilson associa
tion.
Said Mrs. Harriman in her
quick, decisive way, "I feel that
the time has come when women
liuve more to do in the world than
just to nit around a bridge table
or a sewing basket. I feel that
we must get out to make the
world better; to help level class
barriers and to create a world in
which everyone shall have a fair
chance.
"People are surprised that 11,
a go-called « 'society woman,'
should of all persons, be under
taking the organizing of the
Women's WiHson-Marshall a/wo
ciation. I don't look upon it In
that way i . all. We should all
be fighting for the common cause
—the progress of mankind. *
'. "And so I consider j that, all
women, rich or poor, should take
upon j themselves in these j days
when thought ' is advancing, to
help In the general purging of our
public: life.
■ '"Women can do a great deal to
create a public sentiment for Wil
son, in j addition to pust control
ling one or two home votes. They
can form-Wilson clubs and bring
speakers In his behalf 'before the
voters of their home town.
; "But the greatest thing the
women I can do la Just : to TALK,
TALK, TALK Wilson everywhere.
I am .a j great \ believer ■ in $J the
thought^currents that roll over a
