SALOON SAFE IS CRACIED
Bobbers Eeoir About On Hundred Dollars
for Their Trouble,
kany' PEOPLE HEAR THE EXPLOSION
Considerable Ttsa Elapses Befere
Pellc Are Not I Sea aad Tbey Are
Caable to ria a Trace of
the Rebbers.
The safe In the aaloon of Martin Morten
sen at YU Sixteenth avenue was blown
about S o'clock yesterday morning by
cracksmen, who secured about $HM In cash.
Nitroglycerin waa used to open the safe
and the force of the explosion did consid
erable damage to the Interior of the sa
loon, breaking the glass, showcases and
much of th glassware on the back bar.
. The explosion was beard by several people
residing In the locality, but was supposed
by them to have need In the railroad yards
nearby and R was soma -little time before
It was learned that It had been in the
Morten sen saloon. As soon as It waa learned
that the safe In the aaloon had been blown
the police were notified by telephone, but
by the time an officer arrived on the arena
there wae not the stlghteat trace of the
cracksmen, although there waa plenty of
evidence of their work.
It Is believed the burglars entered the
saloon by the back door, which had evi
dently been forced open with a Jimmy. It
waa found open and the robbers are sup
posed to have made their 'escape the same
way.
Th time for the robbry had evidently
been well planned and It Is believed that
the robbera were well acquainted with
Morteneen's movements and chose a time
when they were aware he would be away
from the place. Morten sen wm attending
a dance at the Danish hall with hla family.
The dance lasted until I o'clock and It was
shortly before this hoar that be started for
home.
The robbers had evidently mad careful
preparations for blowing the aafe and their
work Indicated they were no amateurs. The
dock In the saloon stopped, at 1:67, Indi
cating the time of tbe explosion. Several
holes were drilled In the safe door near
the lock while soep was uned to close up
all cracks and openings..' To deaden the
sound of tbe explosion a big horse blanket
was placed over the safe. The blanket,
one corner of which was burned and blown
oft, was left behind by the robbers and Is
practically the only clue the police have to
tbe robbera.
The door of the aafe was Mown off Its
hinges and plecea of the lining and lock
scattered about the room. Much of tbe
glassware back of the bar was blown off
the shelf and broken, while the glass In the
cigar and other showcases waa broken to
plecea
There were three slot machines In the
saloon and these had been broken open
and robbed of their contents, but how much
Mortensen could not tell.
Mortensen closed hla saloon at midnight
and shortly after placing hla money In tbe
safe and locking up the place went to the
dance la the Danish hall. His departure, it
Ig believed, must have beep Watched by the
robbera. who.,. most hav "shortly after
broke Into the aaloon In order to have ac
complished the drilling and blowing of the
safe by the time Indicated by the stopping
of the dock.. ,.-
Mr. Mortensen stated he left ths dance
at the Danish hall with his wife about 1:30
and whan they paaaed the saloon on their
way home the lights were burning and
everything apparently was all right. The
robbers, It Is supposed, were hid behind
the ban The safe must have" been blown
a few minutes after he passed.
The force of the explosion, while not only
playing havoc with the Inside of ths saloon,
blew out the front window. Pieces of the
door of the safe were found imbedded In
the plaster of th celling. One show case
near where the safe stood waa blown to
fragments.

TWENTY-EIGHT STATES REPRESENTED
Governor Cnasalna Gets Off nt Wroaar
Handoar to Meet Appoint-meet.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, Sept. 2J. (8neclal.)-The
fact that there has been so much political
activity in the state of Jowa this year has
seemingly completely overshadowed the
fact that there I to ba one of tbe greatest
and most noteworthy gatherings In the
country here this ..year, a convention of
delegates from esch state In the union ap
pointed by the governors of the statss for
the purpose 6f discussing and formulating
eom plan for, securing a constitutional
amendment for a direct vote of th people
for United States .senators. Ths conven
tion will be held at the statehouse Decem
ber C, a trine over two monthe from now.
The flrst move Jor th convention was In
a resolution . psased at the last session of
the legislature authorising Governor Cum
min to call such a convention. At this
time there are twenty-eight state, or a
little more than .half, that have made the
necessary appointment, of five delegates to
attend the convention. Twenty-four stales
are, on record a favoring the elevtln or
senators by the people and seventeen of
these are on record aa petitioning congress
to submit the matte, tp the people. Seven
others are on record as making application
for a convention r for . proposing such an
amendment. These seven are Michigan,
Minnesota, Nevada, . Nebraska, Oregon,
Iowa. Montana, . Ths seventeen petitioning
congress are New Hampshire, Kentucky,
Illinois. Wyoming. Ohio, Utah, Florida,
Washington,, NorthDakota. North Carolina,
Idaho, Pennsylvania,. Indiana, Colorado,
South Dakota, Kansaa. The states that
have thus far answered the Invitation of
Governor Cummins to make the appoint
ment of delegates tp the convention In Dea
Moines next November are California, Colo
rado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kannss, Ken
tucky, Louisiana,,, Michigan, Minnesota.
Montana. Nebraska, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota,
Texas, Washington, . West Virginia, Wy
oming, Georgia, .North Dakota, Pennsyl
vania, Tennessee. Utah, Virginia, Wiscon
sin and New York. . The governors of
Maine and Massachusetts have answered
the invitation to the effect that the Isws of
those states do not. give them authority to
make the appointment of delegatea and
hence they have necessarily declined. Under
the provisions of the federal law. If two
thirds of the legislatures of ths states pe
tition congress tp submit the matter-to a
constitutional convention the matter must
be so submitted. . This means thirty states.
It Is partly for. the' purpose of Inducing
enough other ststes.to make the petition to
bring It up to thirty, that tbe convention
here Is to be held. ,,-
