The office of the Great Synagogue in the Tlomackie Street has been broken into by thieves, who blew up the safe and according to reports in the Press here carried off a number of costly crowns and other ornaments used for the Scrolls of the Law, as well as a considerable amount in cash. The J.T.A. learns, however, that the religious articles were not touched and that only cash was taken.
