Mrs. Landes declared Thursday that she is preparing an amend- ment that will seek to eliminate the alleged abuses which have caused widespread protest among moral forces of the city. “There is hibits Sunday night dancing,” Mrs Tandés said. “The mayor and the chief of "police “h {led to en: forge this law and conditions have ecome. #0 Wad that the Sunday dances. must be regulated by ordinance.” Mrs, Landes will pag of speeches before re- the wom. dance hall situation and women of conditions there and who is rexponsibk: for them, she said.

Winifred had long since put aside her personal desires to climb the stairway of dramatic art, in the light of the stern necessity of pitch- ing in and helping support her widowed mother, Mary Gallagher.

The robbers, operating in much the ;%ame manner as the gang which held up the Spencer, Ind., bank early in the week, drove into town in the early hours of the morning in two automobiles. One band cut all tele- phone and telegraph wires leading from the town. They then held off | officers and citizens for two hours while others worked with the safe. Robbers on guard outside the bank fired revolvers at intervals, bullets whizzing down streets, keeping resl- dents indoors. Charge after charge of explosive was let go under the j mate until finally the door was blown off, ‘Whenever residents ventured from their homes or a light was shown @ fusillade of revolver shots came from the robber gang. Explosions wrecked the bank and blew out all of the windows. A posse of soldiers from Fort Riley, near by, joined in taking up the trail of the bandits half an hour after they had left town.
