Aside from weighty problems OF

question OF young men as clerks, book

Difficulty in Securing Material.
The local banks are having trouble in
selecting Just the class of boys and
young men TO make competent book
keepers and accountants. Mainly for
this reason there are indications that
banks and other financial Institutions
are leading away from higher educa-
tion as a prerequisite from their en-
ployes
Particularly in banks Just now there
is a disposition apparent to recruit mes
sengers from the schools. and then
draw from the messengers for their

IA DARING ROBBERY
Man Climbs Into Chicago Mail
Wagon and Drives Off.
DRIVER WAS COLLECTING MAIL.
Police Notified OF ROBBERY Within Five
Minutes, but They Found No Clue,
The Wagon Abandoned.

Chicago-The Chicago postoffice was
robbed of probably $4,000 Saturday in
most daring manner. The rob5er
made his escape without leaving any
clue to his identity. Two mail sacks
containing money, which had just been
picked up from two of the downtown
substations were left in an unprotected
wagon in front of the Masonic Temple
while the mail carrier went into the
building to gather mail that had ac
Inundated there. The carrier was gone
Dnly a moment. but when he returned
ais horse and wagon had disappeared.
While the carrier had been in the
building, the robber, who evidently had
been waiting his opportunity, had
Jumped into the rig and driven away.
The street was full of people at the
lime, but no one seems to have noticed
The thief. The two mail sacks, cut
bpen, and rified of their contents, were
aound fully mile from the scene of the
robbery. The horse and rig were found
two miles further west, where the rob-
Der had left them standing in the
street. The police and federal authOri
ties were notified less than two min
ates after the robbery took place, but
10 trace of the robber has been secured.
Both of the mail bags were full of
registered letters. The postal author
ties are unable to state the exact
AMOUNT stolen, but estimate it at fully
10000.

parting for the West she had sworn to

Americans"

The Rochester incident referred to
occurred last winter. Mrs. Nation ar

things. She was surrounded by a mob

was rescued by the police before any
