The nerve of Attorney Wallace P.
Vollmer doubtless saved the residence
of the family .at the corner of West
avenue and Elm street. from being
robbed. lats night. Mr. Vollmer ar-
gved home. about 9:30 o'clock and al.
most immediately retired. Shortly
afterward he was startled by hearing
a. window open in his mother’s room.
and someone climb inside. He secur-
ed hls revolver and waited until he
heard the intruder enter the room of
Dr. J. William Vollmer. two doors
from the room of his mother, who
was out for the evening.

\Vhen Mr. Vollmer faced the man
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. he was surprised to find it was

 

Irvin Fields. who was emplOYEd
about the place. The fellow came
here from Bridgeport, nine months

ago. and admitted that he had intend-
ed to rob the house. He had placed a
ladder in the rear of the building so
that it reached to the window in Mrs.
Vollmcr's roorg.

About three weeks ago another at-
tempt was made to rob the house. and
previously the garage had also been
broken into and articles stolen. and
Fields owned up to be the guilty
party. .

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. Feb. 10.—
Back at work today after 0. three
weeks' vacation. President-elect.
Harding waded into a vast accumula-
tion of correspondence and other mis-
cellaneous businesl that must be
cleared away before he can give seri-
ous thought to final decisionsbn the
personnel of his cabinet and other
major problems. '

Mr. Harding returned to St. Augus-
tine last night from his houseboat
cruise along the Florida coast. and es-
tablished omces in a. St. Augustine
hotel, which will be his home until he
leaves for Washington to be inaugur-
ated. "" " ,
Only the‘ most urgent communica-
tions have been forwarded to him
during his trip. and the stack of un-
answered telegrams and letters prob-
ably will occupy virtually all of his
working time for the remainder of

the week.
While

 

the president-’elect - was
cruising on illl‘ houseboat Victoria.
he also kept as far aWay from his
problems as possible. and it may be
said authoritatively that the most im-
portant decisions of the coming ad-
ministration. including the personnel
of the Cabinet are but little nearer
consummation that they were three
weeks ago. "“ V“

Definite selections are yet to be
made for practically all of the ten
Cabinet positions and in regard to
most of them one guess seems as good
as another. ._ l '

HARTFORD. Feb. lO.———lnterest in

The bill of the clvil'servicc commis-

Governor‘ Lake in his inaugural mes-
sage. and to stop. if possible. the ef-
forts to wipe the present law off the
statute books. was before the judi-

The commission bill was offered by

hearing. all bills of the same charac-
lcr were also embraced in the hear—
ing. Professor Henry \V. Farnam.
president of the Civil Service Reform
Association. headed the proponents
for a revised law.

The State Board of Finance prc-
scntcd its report to the General As-

appropriations recommended. esti-
mates made and diagrams illustrating
the disbursement of state moneys.
The report of the Board—its biennial

a survey of the subject matter in the
letter of transmittal. No such com—
prehensive document has ever before
been submitted. nor have facts and
figures ever been placed before the
legislature in such comprehensive
form. Tabulations are in the millions.
The appropriations for the next two
.vcars as recommended are 528.192.—

timates. The. revenue estimated is
