an Electric Light--All With Whom
He Came in Contact Awed by the
Revolver of the Bold Bandit
Secured $3.50.
2 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 14.--In true
Western fashion, lone robber, masked
and armed, cleaned out two restaurants
in the center of the city at o'clock this
morning, under the glare Of an electric
light.
In Lewis restaurant, on Walnut street,
he pointed a pistol at Stanley Brushwood,
the cashier, and tapped the register, while
he kept his revolver in plain view of two
customers eating near by. The contents
of the register had been transferred to
the safe but few minutes previous, and
the robber secured only handful of
change. When he had satisfied himself
that there was nothing more in sight he
gave the waiter and the two customers a
parting word Of warning and skipped
across the street to the restaurant of
Robert McClintock
Here the robber covered Cashier Joseph
Drysdale and commanded two walters
and three customers to hold up their
hands. They complied promptly, and the
robber emptied the register in a twin
king He pocketed the entire contents,
s146, and backing out of the door, encoun-
tered a grocery solicitor. He poked his
revolver into the solicitors face, with the
command not to make any alarm. and
forced him into the restaurant. where all
the others still stood with arms up
stretched.
AT this instant the robber darted down
a nearby alley and disappeared. Hardly
more than five minutes was consumed at
both jobs, and the e@robber had plenty of
time to get away before the scared vic
tins had recovered composure.

WOMAN. LABOR BARRED.
Taken by the Chicago Build
ing Material Trades Council


ing Material Trades Council.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Woman labor is to
be abolished in all factories where build
ing material is produced in Chicago, if
resolution passed by the Building Mate
rial Trades council tonight can be made
effective. The resolutions provide that
each of the organizations affiliated with
the- council demand that a clause be in
serted In all union contracts hereafter
specifying that no woman be employed in
the shops.
There are now 200 women at work in
the various factories, for the most part
as metal ,polishers and buffers and on
plumbers supplies The principal reason
given for the action of the council is that
the work is totally unfit for women. 1t Is
said, however, that the council fears that
there is an effort being made by the man
ufacturers to gradually displace the men
in favor of the cheaper woman labor.
