4 MOSCOW BANK ROBBED.
Twenty Armed Men Escape 5cith
Booty in Heart of City.

Moscow, March 2O.--The Credit Mutual, one
Of the largest banks in Moscow. was robbed by
masked men at dusk tonight, the robbers get
ting s482,5OO. Circumstances raise the suspicion
that the robbery was committed under the di-
rection Of some one at present or previously
employed I'm the institution.
The bank is in Hinka street, in the heart Of
the city The last of the clerks had just depart
ed leaving a guard of three men inside, while
under the covered driveway outside were po-
hceman and the house porter. The street was
crowded with people hurrying homeward Ac-
cording 10 the story of the guards. they were
suddenly confronted with revoIvers in the hands
OF twenty masked men who had entered silently
by the main door, which had been locked when
the Office force left the Building
After a command to the guards to hold up
their hands not word was spoken. The guards
were quickly bound and gagged and thrown into
a dark corner. The robbers then took positions
at all the entrances and the curtains of the
windows were lowered. The chief or tho rob-
bers who directed the operations Of his associ-
ates by gestures, showed thorough Familiarity
with the location Of the vaults When all was
ready he went to the heavy, burglar proof safe
and with a few whrIs Of the knob threw the
combination Of the lock- the heavy doors swung
open and the treasure Of the bank was revealed
The plunder, consisting Of gold. silver and
notes, was speedily thrust into sacks When
not kopeck was left the robbers departed as
silently as they came making their exit through
the main entrance. leaving no trace behind them.
They had been in the bank less than half an
hour Twenty minutes later one Of the guards
succeeded in freeing himself and gave the alarm.
The policeman and house porter, who had been
standing in front Of the bank throughout said
they had seen no one enter or leave it.
An immense crowd was attracted 10 the scene
by the news Of the robbery
NJ vitchniakoff. the managing director Of the
bank, after hasty investigation, went to con-
suit Governor General DoubassoH.
It is the general impression that the key to the
mystery is within the bank itself

BOSSES FINAL STAND.
4dhercnts Of Durham Make Dcsper-
ate Bid for Control.
[By rslesraph 70 The Trnn- ,s. l


Philadelphia, March Notwithstanding every
tempt to control City Councils upon reorgauiza-
tion on April .. the corporations and depOsed
leaders identified with the old Durham McNichol
organization have lined up for a finish fight with
Mayor Weaver and the several reform bodies
backing his administration. Money and pledges
of power under the next administration are the
only arguments advanced by the old leaders
The last year of Mayor Weaver's term begins
with the reorganization Of Councils. The Mayor
ing out his comprehensive scheme Of civic bet
terment il Is essential that Samuel Crothers
chairman Of the City party city committee. be
elected president Of Select Council and that
Thomas F. Armstrong be elected president OF
Common Council. These men stand pledged to
appoint committees I'm sympathy with the Mayor
and his latter day policies
The remnant Of the Durham McNichol organ
izatior IS strong only in councils. 1t has been
swept out Of every other place Of power. Many
votes are needed to defeat the Mayor, and to
obtain these votes large sums Of money are being
offered to unpledged counciImen. some of whom
are vulnerable because they have accepted gra-
tuites from the once aT-powerful clique headed
by Durham and MCNichol. Precise information
to the efforts at bribery has been furnished
officials Of the city party. and agents Of the
committee of seventy are collecting inCTiminat-
ing evidence with which 70 proceed under the
sitting Of the Legislature The defeat Of CrOth-
ers and Armstrong is believed to mean the
eclipse Of Mayor Weaver and the defeat of every
pending measure for civic betterment.
