robbers backed up this forcible demand
with the words, We'll blow both your
heads off if you don't turn all your stuff
up at once"
Cashier Hutchinson quickly complied
with the request, and handed over about
$1,000 which lay on the counter before
him. Then one of the robbers compelled
the cashier and the clerk to go in the
hall and turns their heads, while the
other robber walked backwards out of
the door and into the street. His accom-
plice quickly followed
In a moment the cashiers courage re-
turned, and he and the clerk rushed into
the street after the robbers. The cashier
had grabbed pistol in the bank, with
which he Immediately began firing at
the fleeing thieves The robbers re-
turned his fire, and the exchange of
shots and the cries of Hutchinson and
the clerk soon aroused the village, and
almost Immediately score of persons
were in pursuit.
About two squares from the bank the
robbers were captured. Threats of
lynching were made by the villagers,
and had the robbers not surrendered
quietly they would no doubt have been
roughly handled. They gave their names
as ]. d. Morris and Frederick Smith
and were at once removed to Freehold
Jail. The money given to them by
Cashier Hutchinson was recovered.

Immigration PROBLEMS
Propositions Submitted to the SEN
ate Investigating Committee.
BAR EUROPEANS FOR ONE YEAR

This Was the Most Important sug-
Gestion Made. Though No Definite
] Action on the Question Has Yet
Been Taken-other Propositions.
New YORK, Nov. 30.-The senate COM
mittee on immigration resumed its ses-
sion yesterday at the Fifth Avenue ho-
tel. Five of the six members, including
Senators Chandler, Proctor, Grey, Hale
and Faulkner. were present. Senator
Call, of Florida, is detained in Washing
ton on important business.
The most important proposition which
was submitted at the meeting was this:
THAT all immigration, except from
North and South American countries,
Shall be suspended for ono year from
March |, 1898, the law to be SO framed
as not to hinder the free return of Amer
lean citizens or the easy admission of
visitors"
Other suggestions made were:
An Educational Qualification.
"No immigrant shall be admitted to
the United States between the ages of
~ and 55 unless he can read and write
freely his native language, nor shall a
person above So, who cannot read or
. write. be admitted unless he is member
of an incoming family.
mo immigrant shall be admitted un-
less he possesses 800 in money. or its
equivalent, except that a head of fam
lily may bring with him or send for other
members of his family if he or they pos
sess $25 for each member.
"All persons seeking final naturaliza-
ton papers shall give reasonable notice
to the court to which he intends to
apply, or to some official representing
the government, who shall investigate
the facts in the country from which the
immigrant comes, when the application
is considered.
'All intending immigrants shall bring
certificates from United States consuls
abroad, showing that they have satisfied
the consul that they have right to ad-
mission as immigrants"
No conclusion was reached in reference
to any of these propositions. The time
is so short that the committee will prob
ably not submit bill with their report,
but the latter will, it is expected, be re-
ferred back to the committee by the
senate, with instructions to bring in a
bill.
The committee convened again at II
O'Clock this forenoon, and is now in
secret session.
