HANNA WILL STEP OUT.
Senator Declines to Serve as Chair
man of National Republican
Committee.

Chicago. Dec. 24.-Walter Wellman,
Washington correspondent of the Rec
ord-Herald, says Senator Hanna has
declined, formally and finally, to serve
as chairman of the national republican
committee after the expiration of his
term, which will be when the national
convention meets in Chicago in June.
Elihu Root may be his successor. Mr..
Root is to retire from the war depart
ment the latter part Of next month, and
President Roosevelt has offered him the
craftsmanship of the national committee.
Mr.. Root has taken the matter under
consideration. Although lat present Mr..
Root is much inclined to adhere strictly
to his determination to retire wholly
from active politics as we'll as from pub
lie life and to devote his entire time to
the practice of law in New York city,
there is still possibility that President
Roosevelt may be able to induce him to
consent to serve as national chairman
and as manager of next years cam
paign. If Mr.. Root shall decline to serve
former Gov. Crane, of Massachusetts,
will be the new head of the national re-
publican organization. He has con-
scented to take the post If the president
cannot find any one else"

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. ga spe-
cial from South McAlester, l. T., to the
Record says: A bold bank robbery, at
tended by desperate battle, between
a posse of citizens and robbers oc-
CURED at Kiowa, a small town 16
miles south of this city Sunday, the
robbers securing and destroying about
$4,000 which was in the bank. The
men gained entrance to the bank
building through rear window. The
first charge of nitroglycerin made no
impression on the safe, but this noise
aroused residents of the town and soon
a posse composed of so men was con-
gregated in the stock yards at the rear
of the bank. A volley of shots was
fired at the building and it was at once
returned by the sentinels of the rob-
bers secreted on the outside of the
structure.
An almost incessant fire was kept
up for half an hour. during which time
the robbers continued their efforts to
open the safe. 1t required three dis
charges to force the door, The third
explosion was terrific and almost COM
pletely demolished the safe as we'll as
the interior of the bank. Paper
money was blown into shreds, large
quantities of mutilated bills being left
by the bandits. After footing the safe
the robbers left the building from the
front and backed off into the dark
ness, keeping up a fire on the posse,
The men went into a southerly direc-
ton and were followed quite a dis
lance. 1t is said that one of the rob-
bers was injured.
The bank officials place their none
tary loss at $500. 1t is believed
that the bandits made away with only
a small part of this sum, the paper
money being almost altogether de-
stroyed by the explosion. A posse OF
the United States marshals is in pur-
suit of the robbers.
