Without firing a shot they backea out of the bank in perfect order ana escaped in an automobile they had left at the entrance. Before any one of the scores of witnesses had recov- ered from his surprise the gangsters were going south in Grand boulevard at sixty miles an hour. Less than an hour after the rob- bery Chief of Detectives Hughes and Lieut, Norton arrested four youths who were loitering near the bank and who answered descriptions of mem- bers of the gang. They were rushed to the detective bureau for questioning. The police refused to give out their names. While the search was on Charles E.

The team has been playing under the name of the Amer- ican Legion and has been about clearing expenses up until last week when they played only one game. A small amount was due out of the post’s treasury, and it was the sense of the committee who heard the orig- inal proposition that the post's treas- ury would not be used to finance the organization. Matters were brought to a head when the . team played only one game during the week, and it brought such a condition of affairs that officials of the post were forced to talk with Frank Kiernan, the manager of the Holstein Parks and find out the root of the trouble. It came out in the conversation that the players ex- pected $50 a.week for their services and thatamount was not forthcom- ing. Qne of the players savs that he has a wife in this city and has not | been paid in three weeks. Lawyer Stanley Traceski has been asked to submit a contract at to- night's meeting to clear up the situa- tlon. It will, it passed, give the Ed- dy-Gloyver post a ctearance of $10 on_every home game, after the rent The Harvey & Lewis Co’; OPTICIANS Photographic Supplies. 85 West Main Street New Britain, Conn. * Where Service Begins and With ° Your Pleasure Never Ends Have You Had a Demonstration on the APEX VAGUUM CLEANER THE MOST VERSAT ILE CLEANER MADE The Apex is immediately available for almost every cleaning purpose, and once you have it, nu- merous special uses will suggest themselves to you.
