20 REAL TEN ARE ARRESTED "IN BANK ROBBERY City Attorney Reed of Pine ‘} - Bluff, Ark., Included in [~ Complicity Charge. B7 the Associated Press. . PINE BLUFF, Ark.. May 18.—A city ofMcial was at liberty under $25,000 bond and nine other persons were in jail here | today, charged with complicity in the hold-up of the People’s Bank & Trust | Co., April 28. The bank was robbed of $20,000 by five unmasked men. Ralph B. Reed, city attorney of Pine Bluff, charged with being an accessory and receiving stolen property, was the tenth person arrested in _connection with the robbery. He was placed in jail yesterday, but late last night bondsmen obtained his release. . He will be given & preliminary hearing next Frida) City and county officers said the war- tant for the city attorney's arrest was based on evidence that he conspired with the hold-up gang and received $10,000 of the stolen money. Travelers’ Checks Taken. Reed's arrest followed that of three Negros on accessory charges yesterday and the recovery of $1.000 in travelers’ checks in their possession. Officers gaid the checks were part of the funds stolen from the bank. Others in custody are three men re- eently arrested in New Orleans with $7.000 in cash, in money belts they wore. They are alleged to have been among the five who actually staged the Tobbery. Two men and a woman were arrested in Little Rock the day after the hold-up on accessory charges. The robbers entered the bank at noon, forced the employes and customers in- 1o the vault and escaped with all the money in sight. Their automobile was later found abandoned several miles from Pine Bluff. i CENTER WAR ON FRUIT FLY Atlanta Chosen as Headquarters for oGvernment Activities.

'HEN Golly Oaks had left the apartment, Anna stood at the door, listening, for several minutes, before she returned to Lila. The girl was alarmed when she saw the strained, frightened look on her old nurse’s face. “No, no—its nothing, my dear,” said Anna, as Lila tried to draw from her the reason for her terror. She opened a drawer in the table, took out & knife, and without a word, thrust it into the ceiling at the spot where the faint outlines of the trap- door could now be seen. The plaster showered down upon her head, but she thrust it toward the celling. “See!” she cried. “There’s the trap- door!"” More plaster and laths had to be torn away, before she could attempt to open the door, and she toiled on. It was af hard, slow task, for she had only the knife with which to work. enough to admit her head and shoulders. She raised her arms and strenght, but it did not budge. Lila found & broom in the pantry, and to- gether they thrust it against the door. Their combined efforts opened it- the merest crack. But that was a begin- ning, at least. Lila rushed about the apartment, snatching up whatever she could find | that could be forced into the opening, | to widen it. Anna wedged these in, as | fast as she could. Wider and wider grew the square of sky visible through the opening. till, at 3 o'clock in_the morning, almost ex- hausted by her efforts, Anna dragged herself through the space and onto the Toof above, When she recovered her breath, she summoned all her strength and, pulling the creaking trap-door wide | open, extended her hand to the girl be- low and drew her up to the roof. Immediately they began their search for the rope ladders and the lockers, but, if there ever were such ap- pliances, they had been removed. The two women were in despair. In less than an hour the first streaks of dawn would be visible in the sky.

KWANGSI POSTS BOMBED BY CANTONESE AVIATORS By the Associated Pre CANTON, China, May 18.—Cantonese aviators returned today from Wuchow, on the Kwangsi border, where they bombed the Kwangsi wireless station and Kwangsi military headquarters. ‘They dropped three 100-pound bombs | on the wireless station and five bombs on the military headquarters, inflicting heavy damages. ‘The British gunboat Moorhan arrived here from Samshui with some English- women who had evacuated their homes there. They were en route to Canton when their vessel ran aground in the Sikiang River 15 miles west of Canton. Fighting at Samshui apparently was more strenuous today, as artlllery fire was audible in Canton.

At last Anna lowered herself into the room below and helped Lila to descend. To close the trap-door was an impossibility. They must take the risk of somebody's going on the roof during the day and finding it open. Though she was weary beyond be- lef, Lila slept restlessly, and she was awake and dressed before break- fast was brought in.
