THE BETTER VALUE STORE {LOCKED IN VAULT, TAPS IN MORSE CODE A City Official in Philadelphia Was Imprisoned -- 8ix Hours. Philadelphia; Pa., Jan. 20--Lock- ed for nearly six hours in a hermeti- tally sealed concrete and steel vault In the city treasurer's office at night, a knowledge of the Morse telegraph code' probably saved the life of 'Arthur Brenner, assistant city treasurer, it became known to-day. A mouse, locked in at the same time, failed to survive, and when Brenner was rescued its body was found. Brenner entered the vault, a room 15 feet square amd 20 feet high, five minutes before closing time, yester- day hunting for a warrant. While he was there the big steel doors swung shut. He shouted for heip without attracting notice. The lights went out automatically as the doors shut. Brenner was on a balcony in the rear. He felt his way downstairs, pulled open every drawer, and piled the books on tHe floor to get the maximum amount of air possible and then slept for a while, with his face as near the bot- tom of the door as possible, on the assumption that a slight amount of alr might come through at that point. When he woke his hand came in contact with a wooden slat, &nd remembering that Charles Hock- wald, a nightwatchman, also could telegraph, he pounded out in Morse: "I am locked in." "Will get help," came the answer from Hockwald, who immediately telephoned for a man who knew the combination of the vault. ------------ PETER B. BAKER DEAD. en Conducted Farm on.
