B—4 = ILLINOIS SCOURGE OF BANK ROBBERS Rewards Offered by Bankers’ Association Fast Bringing Satisfactory Results. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 9.—Once their happy hunting ground, Illinois is rapidly becoming the scourge of bank robbers. Driven to desperation by depredations of the swaggering desperadoes who vic- | timized hundreds of its smaller mem- bers, the Illinois Bankers' Association placed a head price of $1,000 on all bank thieves, organized a crack in-| vestigating department and launched into a relentless war, the results of which are beginning to be felt in the underworld circles over the entire Nation. In the past two weeks alone 20 bank Tobberies, 12 of which were in Illinois and the others in adjoining States, have been cleared up and confessions ob- tained implicating 10 men. Six Bandits Slain. Since January 1, 1030, 6 bandits have been killed, 97 committed to the penitentiary, 3 electrocuted for murders during robberies, 1 electrocuted for slay- ing two policemen who sought to arrest him and 15 are under indictment await- | ing trial “Iron Mules” Sought By Indians Instead Of Hungry Animals By the Assoclated Press. GALLUP, N. Mex, April 8.— The Navajo Indians, long known as the Cossacks of the Southwest, have informed reservation offi- cials here that they would like tractors instead of horses to till their fields. Indian ers pointed out that “steel mules” would not eat when not working, which is not the case with their calico-colored ponies. CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION TAKES KENTUCKY DARE Will Send Delegates to Mine Dis-|’ trict on Challenge by County Prosecutor. T . - By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 9.—The American | / Civil Liberties Union will answer the ! challenge. made in an open letter by Walter B. Smith, Bell County, Ky. prosecutor, by sending a delegation into mine dispute districts the week of April 18, it was announced today. Arthur Garfleld Hays, the union counsel, ‘telegraphed Mr. Smith this | afternoon asking for a copy of the | letter given to the press in which the | “Illinois is tough on bank robbers and it's getting tougher,” Ros C. Saunders, | head of the Crime Prevention Bureau | of the Tllinois Bankers' Association, said. | Saunders, & former chief of police of Des Moines, Iowa, has spent years hunt- | ing down bank robbers. Before becom- | ing associated with the Illinois bankers, | in 1925, he spent three years in a | similar capacity in Iowa | Saunders and his men obtained the | information and set the trap in East | St. Louis that caught the robbers of the Lincoln (Neb.) National Bank & Trust Co.. who made away with $2,870,000. And it was through them, aided by Chicago’s secret six, that Gus Winkler, | henchman of Al Capone, was forced to disgorge the $583.000 in negotiable bonds taken in the Lincoln robbery. Another Prize Catch. Another prize catch in which the Illinois Bankers' Association figured was arrest of the “kidnaping robbers.” They were six men who made a specialty of | kidnaping a banker at his home late | at night, forcing him to accompany them 1o the bank and there opening the vaults The conviction of the “nitro” gang | was _another victory highly prized by the bankers’ association. This mob, so named because its members would carry a small bottle of nitroglycerin into a bank and threaten to explode it if they | met with resistance, terrorized Central Illinois for a long time. They are now in the penitentiary. In all of these cases much of the credit belongs to the police, the sheriff, or the Illinois State highway police force. But it is also true that in almost every case where any of these officials obtained clues they called in Saunders | and his men because of their wide ex- perience, and acquaintance with the appearance and ;hablts of known bank | robbers. Robbers “on the Run.” 1t is because of this co-operation now prevalent throughout Illinois, Saunders says, that bank robbers are “on the‘ Tun.” Possessed of a photostatic mind, Baunders is said- by police officials never to forget a bank robber's face once he sees either the man or his picture. This has been responsible for the identifica- tion of many a criminal. Only last week this remarkable memory led to identification of Donald Loftus, wanted 1n a half dozen States for bank robbery.

PACT CLOSED IN BERLIN ON SHORT-TERM DEBTS Agreement to Prolong Credits Till March 15, 1933, Is Con- cluded. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, April 9—Negotiations which have been proceeding in Berlin for the regulating of short-term debts of certain federal states, cities and communities, | were concluded with an agreement todasy | ent, which was initialed | from England, Holland, witzerland, provides for pro- f the credits to March 15 creditors are to receive a r cent installment immediately on a total debt of 247,000,000 marks (approximately $60,000,000).

The negotiations have been conducted in a friendly spirit and both creditors and debtors did their utmost to take account of prevailing conditions. ' | Tea House, near Bladensburg, Md., last | General Neil Burkinshaw. | an end. | Stearns, | fighting. w&w the Kentuckian “dared” the, delegation to come “under the veiled camouflage of yvour pretense of constitutional rights.” Hays said any American citizen has the right to “visit Kentucky or any other place without being subject to interference or an inquisition.” He will answer the Smith letter when he gets it, he said. The delegation’s trip is prompted, the lawyer asserted, “by the repeated out- Tages on outsiders going into the State and the obvious unwillingness of the authorities in Bell County to concede the ordinary civil rights of citizens." “Smith asked about my religion and my views on marriage,” said Hays. "I am going to ask him if these things constitute a test for a man's constitu- tional right to enter Kentucky."” The delegation is expected to include Amos Pinchot, Corliss Lamont, Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Roger Baldwin, Dorothy Kenyon, Hays and others, in- cluding several Kentuckians.
