VOL. RESSED BANK ROBBER | Cebled Parugrapis Driven toBay by Town Marshal Bandit Blew ‘Out His Own Brains DROVE UP T0 BANK IN AUTOMOBILE ‘Hi._ _dmpnfiiop.- the Chauffeur, Arrested—Savings Bank at Hw Park, a Suburb of Chicago, the Scene of a Deliberate and Sensational Hold-Up—Cashier, Book- keeper and Receiving Teller Covered with Revolver- Chicago, Oect.” 13—A fashionably dressed bandit who early this after- noon robbed the savings bank of D. M. Erskine & Co. in Highland -Park, 1il., an aristocratic suburb on the Lake committed suicide by shootir~ kim- self in the mouth when driven to bay by the Highland Park marshal and a posse of citizens. A companion of the robber who ‘had. driven ‘him to the bank in an automobile was cap- tured immediately after the robbery, forcing the principal . perpetrator of the daring daylight crime to flee on foot. Running Duel with Town Marshal. He was engaged in a running duel with Town Marshal John Sheehan, who was the target for many bullets from the fugitive bandit's revolver. one of which went through the sleeve of his coat, Aftér running several blocks and failing to drive back his pursuers, the robber ran into a shed closely fol- lowed by Sheehan. -When he saw Sheehan enter the shed with his re- volver leveled at his head the fug tive put the muzzle of his own revol- ver into his mouth and fired a_ shot which resulted in his death almost immediatedy. Neither of the Men Known. Neither be nor his companion is known The man arrested, who appeared in the guise of a chauffeur, positively re- fused after his arrest to discuss an) thing" concerning his or his compan- fon's jdenti Bank Employes Forced Into Ca: Cage. The robbery was condueted in a de- liberate and sensational ‘manner. The bandit stole about $500 in gold coin and_bills after he had- forced John C, Duffy, cashier of the bank: Miss Nellie Fitzgerald, the bookkeeper, and Joseph F. Richards, the receiving tell- er, into .the cashier's cage just after business closed for the day. Two Visits to the Bank. . In the morning the automobile bear- ing the robber and his chauffeur drove up to the bank. The man who is now dead enteréd the bank and in- quired if a Williams". was in the Jbank. Duffy said he knew of a Mr. ‘Williams at Lib“rtyville, [, “some ‘miles west of Highland, Park, _The-| visitor, {hanked Hm and left. He drove awaf, and, retyrned a little after two | o'clock: in” the afternoon..-He . entered the bank while his gompanion = re- mained outside in the gutomobiie. Did you find Willlame?" asked Duf- | ‘fy, when his er's “No, he wasn't there,” the stranger replied. Duffy then became suspicious and his visitor went to the street and talked with the ehauffeur, return- ing again to the bank and standing in a far corner of the room while Duffy closed the front doors- The side door he left open for the stranger to de- part. Fearing something was wrong, Duffy hurriedly took a large amount of money and locked it in the vault. Several hundred dollars still were in the cage. As he entered the cage Duffy was confronted by the robber, who covered him with a revolver. Tucked Gold and Bills Into His Pock- ets. everyone in here into that cage!” said the bandit, “or Il blow your head off. Hurry u Duffy, unarmed, complied with the demand. Miss Fitzgerald and Rich- ards came into the cage, while the intruder helped himself ' to all the money in sight. He carefully tucked the gold and bills into his pockets and, then exclaimed: “If any of you at- tempt to follow me I will kill you Money Found in His Clothing. He started for the door and Duffy immediately telephoned the marshal's office across the street. By this tiine the robber reached the automotile and Marshal Sheehan was . running toward the bank. At sight of him the robber broke into a run and citiziens held the chauffeur. The chase eifter the fugitive was a thrilling one, but ended in his suicide within a ' few minutes. All the money taken from the bank was found in his clo/hing. Dead Robber Re red as J. Ci Wil- son, Milwaukee.

ONLY ONE WAY TO SETTLE THE POLAR CONTROVERSY Says Professor Jacoby, Columbia Col- lege Professor Astronomy. — New York, Octs, 13.—Only the pro- duction of astronomical records can settle the polar controversy and these same records might ‘e . fabricated. This, in effect, was the paradoxical statement mede teday by Prof. Harold Jacoby, Ruiherford professor of as- tronomy at Columbia university, dur- ing a public lecture. He said that Le believed the North pole had been reached, but that even- whon all the records of polar discovery have begn published, the final verdict would have to rest upon the veracity of the ex- plorer, because of the .possibility of fabricating polar records. In saying 1hat the pole had been attained he did not specify whether he accepted the claime of Peary or Cook or the claims of both. “As far as astronomic records go" declared Professor Jacoby, “it would be possible to fabricate them without ever visiting the locality at all, and yet only the astromémic records will mettie the questfon.. The public ex- hibition of the inktruments with which the observationswere made is quite “immaterial.” “ STRICKEN BY ACUTE ATTACK OF APPENDICITIS. Operation Performed o Party Leader of AL New York, Oet, 13.—State Senator Patrick H.

BIG LABOR UNION SUIT, $240,000 DAMAGES CLAIMED, Attorney for the Plaintiffs Ou: Case to the Jury. Hartford, Comn, Oct. 13.—Attorney Daniel Davenport, for the plaintiffs in the big labor union suit of D. E. Loewe et al. against the Hatters' union of Danbury, in which damages of $240,000 are claimed because of an alleged boy- cott, oceupied two hours this afternoon in cutlining his side of the case to the jury. In the course of his remarks Te characterized the American Federation of Labor as “a great crusading, propa- gandizing propaganda.” He traced the evolution of the labor union from small-local to central bodies and then into the great central organ- ization, the Federation of Labor. He explained how the United Hat- ters ynion of North America was af- filiated with this body. He explained the nature of the Sherman anti-trust law enacted in 1890 and its relation to interstate commerce trade, saying that yone who sustains damage to his business in violation of the law govern- }ing traffic in goods between stites can {sue the party who has injured his business, no matter where such party is located, with the proviso that the defendants must be brought to trial in such cages in the district in which they reside. He said that the hats made by the Loewe firm were largely sold in states other than Connecticut.. He told of the losses sustained by the firm by reason of the alleged boycott. At the time of the outbreak of the trouble its husi- ness amounted to $400,000 a year; afte: the trouble began it dropped to $260.000 a year, the losses of the firm in profits in"two years by reason of the aHeged attack upon fheir business being $40,- 000 Attorney Davenport assured the jury that sufficient evidemce would: be forthcoming -during the trial to . sub- Lstantiate the claims of -the plaintiff as set -forth in. the complaint.. ‘In re- { ferring to the answers of the defend- ants he said that about all they ad- mitted was that they were residents-of the district of Connecticut. Mr. Davenport made allusion to @ statement made by J. A. Moffett in a labor convention in 1907, but Judge Platt suggested that this be omitted until the admissibility of the evidence was passed upon. Tt is understood that when the case is resumed tomorrow D. E. Loewe will Dbe called as the first witness for the plaintiff. ines His WILl BURY REMAINS TODAY.

A fair sized audience found pleasure in the musical comedy, A Stubborn | Cinderella at the Broadway theater on Wednesday evening. It was not all that could have been desired in the way of a musical comedy, but it pass- ed ff well, the wusic being pretty and tuneful, although it lacked the polish of a big orchestra. The chorus was large and noisy, but gave up much of its time to dancing, which was clev- erly done, being rather better than the singing. The piece was by the same authors as The Time, The Place and The Girl, and to some it seemed to follow along similar lines, with plenty of action and many songs. There was generous ap- plause, but it was not as insistent as in many musical plays, so that en- cores were not numerous. There was a feminine display, but no one could be found who had selected the eight prize. winning beauties worthy of big alaries for their looks. It was much better than some of the ; musical productions. and a number of the songs were of the kind which lin- gered in the whistling repertoire. Al- though it is called a musical produ tion, the comedy is emphatic, and K ry Stone as Mac, the part which was taken by Jack Barrymore in the orig- duction, is given a chance to i an enter- ! ainer. The cast is a good one, and Har Stone as Mac leaves nothing to be di sir21. As the college youth of good family, slightly dissipated habits, but withal’ a corking good fellow, he is a big success. Grace Edmond as Lady | Leslie is a young woman of pleasing | face and figure, and was at her best | in th> last act, when she sing: Whea You First Kiss the Last Girl You | love. Lilllan Goldsmith as Lols is one of the big hits of the show and is the typical college girl, ae those out- side the walls know -~ her. She is sprightly and perhaps exaggerates the way a collage miss would act, but in this very fact she seemed to shine the most. Lestor Crawford is natural in is part. and his breaks are humor- in the extreme. Francis Plerlot Fal and Richards as the calamity howling engineer, hoth scor- | €d hits, and Willigme White as the puf- j fing self conscivus guardian of the ! | destinies of Lady ‘Leslie is pleasing | and funny.
