The Robbery Of the Merchants National
bank at Defiance, q.

DEFIANCE, o., Jan. 12.-It is pretty pos
itive that robbery Of the Merchants Ma
tional bank was committed by two men.
Two pairs of overalls and two blouses
were found hidden on the ground of old
Fort Defiance. In the pockets of the
oyeralls We're found dynamite cartridges
and Illuminating caps and matches. The
clothes were stained with brick and NOR
tar dust, and were undoubtedly worn by
burglars. The garments were new, ard
bore the trademark of n Detroit firm.
They were not purchased in this city.
The bank claims to have lost less than
first reported, but it is positively known
the entire reserve fund. which could not
be less than $1,000, is gone. The bank
was to quite an extent n private institu-
tion and the heaviest stockholders used
the vault for depositing private funds.
The robbers got away with not less than
$:.,5 600.
The robbery was carefully planned
down to the smallest details. The devel-
opments today have shown that the
cracksmen were in the city for nearly n
month. In December some young fellows
on two occasions surprised strangers in
the hallway leading to the Young Mems
Christian association rooms 1t was after
nishtfall and only once the boys got q
good view Of the faces of the men. Each
time the strangers ran down the rear
stairway. The lads say one of the men
was tall and heavy. and wore a closely
trimmed red beard. The other was
smooth shaven and dark, and appeared to
he about s. years Of age. The red-whisk
ersd man was in the city several weeks
canvassing for furniture polish. The
bank has not offered n reward for the
capture of the robbers, but has employed
detectives 1t can be said with certainty
that local thieves had no hand in the az
f.t

He says the country out there is abso-

be given away, cattle are almost worth
less, and farms can't be mortgaged for u
dollar an acre. The distress is something

on the currency question. 1t provides for
the issue Of 3 per cent bonds for the pur-
pose Of carrying into effect the resump-
tion act of 1915, the bonds to be payable
at the pleasure Of the government after
five years. Another section provides for
the coinage of the silver seigniorage to the
amount of S., 100000, to be paid for public
expenses as needed, but nothing in the
bill shall change the law rela ting to treas

the bill authorizes the secretary of the

to require one-half of the customs duties
to be paid in gold, gold certificates, or
United States government notes. All
national banks are to be allowed to issue
currency to the full par value of the bonds

WASHINGTON. ia: Il. - Chairman
Springer has called meeting of the Dem
ocratic members Of the house committee
on banking and currency to consider the.
situation on currency legislation. Spring
er says no special line Of action will be
suggested to the meeting, as IL will be for
an exchange of views rather than to agree
on n course The substitute currency bill
is in the hands of Carlisle, receiving such
changes as may overcome objections 1t
is not expected that the bill will be before
the meeting. Outside of the membership
of the committee little or no attention is
given to the currency question, as mem-
sicn.
The feelinSis almost unanimous among
the Democratic members that the situa-
ton is such as to make an extra session
certain. but 1t is equally unanimous to
no authorized or authentic statement that
that effect has yet been given by Cleve-
land Springer has taken occasion to
suggest to Representative Dingley and
several other Republicans that if they at
tempt TO handle the currency question in
the next congress they will meet the
same embarrassments the Carlisle bill
has experienced, in that there will be
fifteen silver senators. according to
Springer's view who will be able to block

DEBS ON JUDGE WOODS.
He Does Not Restrain Himself In Express.
ing His Opinion.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind Jan. 12.-The first
issue of The Railway Times, the Official
organ of the A. r. U, since the removal
Of the headquarters to this city is ont and
President Debs has not restrained himself
in expressing his opinion of Judge Woods
He says: III Judge Woods is not one Of
those ermined United States judicial
clowns tricked out in court spangles,
whose legal tricks, high jumping and
lofty tumbling make angels weep it is be-
cause Heaven will not longer tolerate exhl-
bitions of strolling montebanks in United
States courts. OF all the performances
Of Judge Woods, his latest, relating to
the Pullman strike and the imprisonment
OF innocent men, tattOos him, as God
marked Cain, as a judicial catiff, base,
mean and tyrannical beyond the power of
exaggeration.'
The judges opinion is alluded to as
legal slush" and the judge is said to do
the bidding Of the corporations 'as an
automaton responds to the secret string
which makes it perform its antics for the
qualification Of the audience. This men-
tally deformed tool of corporations be-
came 'entangled in doubt but he was

men OF their liberty, and as that was
what the corporations demanded, he
obeyed their order, regardless of the
eternal damnatiOn of his reputation as
an honest, upright judge. The men his
decision sends to prison are as superior to
him as an archangel is superior to a toad,
and will live in grateful remembrance
when the name Of William A. Woods,
burdened with infamy, will sink to the
soundless depths of oblivion"
Debs thinks the turn of the old brother
hoods to suffer at the hands of the railway
managers is just coming He says the
managers despise those leaders who
stood by the companies because they were
trcacherous to their fellow-workmen.
When the companies begin reducing
wages the brotherhoods have got to accept.
"As protective organizations" he says,
'the old broth erhoods are dead and buried
beyond the hope of resurrection. And the
verdict is suicide"

Adams is another chapter between his
marriage at Martinez some weeks ago and
the inevitable divorce that is threatened.
AS young Adams is OF such tender years it
was represented that he was made the vic
tim OF designing woman, but Adams, al
though young, is smart for his years, and
he will have great difficulty in explaining
why he stated that he was 81 when he took
out the marriage license. As his estate is
in the hands of executors till he comes of
age 1t is somewhat unusual for any one so
situated to apply for a guardian when
living at home with his family. 1t is sur
missed that it is preliminary of divorce
suit that will be instituted by the guardian
on behalf of his ward. In such an event
it would be hard matter forsthe divorced
wife to obtain alimony.
Miss Isabelle J. Potter, who was married
to Fred Adams, has shown rare discre-
ton in discussing her affairs since the
though the Adams family have made much
inquiry they have not been able to prove
the allegation that Mrs. Fred Adams is an
adventures. She simply laws back and
rests on her rights. She claims that she is
legally married to Adams; that she has
offered to live with her husband and has
demanded recognition and support from
him.
II married Fred in good faith" she said,
sat his earnest request. At the time of
the marriage I did not know he was heir
to portion of an estate. Now that am
his lawful wife deem it my duty to protect
my character from all that has been said
about me. have thought all along that
Fred has been induced to stay away from
me through the influence of his family,
and was anxious to meet him personally
Now that / have seen him am satisfied
that the influence of his relatives has been
stronger than the influence of his wife"
The members of the Adams family re-
efally believed that suit will be brought
to have the marriage annulled. In such an
event Mrs. Adams will probably make the
most of the false swearing regarding her
husbands age.

e.: The validity of the city ordinance for
bidding street meetings within the fire
limits will be passed upon by the Superior
Court in bank.
- One drizzly night several months ago
: the Salvation Army, consisting of sixteen
men and women, were arrested for holding
q meeting on the corner of Tenth and
Broadway, where for years past they had
held their "open-airs." The new ordi-
nance was called to their attention, re-
quIring permit from the Mayor; but the
Salvation soldiers decided to test the
ordinance, as the Mayor had refused them
the permit. All the defendants were dis
charged with the exception of Robert Cad
wallader, and he was tried, convicted and
sentenced. Tie case was appealed to the
Superior Court and was on Judge Fricks
= calendar to-day.
The case will go before the court in bank
on two propositions. The test of the or
dinance will be the primary feature, bat
therecis also another question involved.
Judge Wood refused 10 allow Cadwallader
to be tried by jury and the justice OF this
refusal will also be determined by The
Superior Judges. While the same ques-
ton was passed upon nv Judge Frick yes
terday when he declared that all mis-
demeanantS had a rightto demand a jury,
still he prefers TO have all the Judges pass
ION the question. Two weeks were granted
an which to file briefs.
