ROB BANK and POST OFFICE
CRACKsMEN BLOW SAFES TWO
TOWNS NEAR CHICAGO.
Three Thousand Dollars Secured at
Elwood-Band of Young Out
laws Suspected.

Chicago, Jan. 20-Two safe rob
berries in which thousands of dollars
were stolen, both within few miles
oil Chicago, were reported to the po-
lice Friday. They are laid to an or
ganized band of bank robbers believed
to be hiding in this ety.
The boldest of the robberies was at
Elwood, Ill, where the safe of j. G.
Beatties private bank was shattered
with dynamite and the robbers, carry
Ing away a sum given officially as
$4,000 fled northward on a handcar
over the Chicago & Alton railroad
This robbery was reported on the
heels of news from Dunning, just out
side the city limits, that three bur-
glars had entered the branch post of
flee there and blown open the safe, get
ting stamps and money, the value of
which is unknown.
The police are convinced that an
organized band Of young outlaws is
responsible for the outbreak, and that
they make their headquarters in Chi
cago, leaving the city to prey on un-
protected banks and post offices and
seeking safety in the crowds here after
the crimes. 1t Is believed the sum
stolen at Elwood exceeds $4,000, at
which 1t is placed by the bank officials
The one-story bank building was shat
tered by the dynamite. The explosion
was heard throughout the town, but
residents thought 1t was blast in one
of the nearby quarries. No attention
was paid to the blast, and the robbery
was not discovered until daylight,
when the first man to pass the bank
saw its wrecked interior. Every piece
Of furniture in the building had been
broken, and hole blown through the
roof. The windows were shattered
and the doors forced from their
hinges.
The robbery Of the Dunning post
Office is believed to have been done
by cenfederates of the Elwood band.
Lawrence e. Taylor, postmaster, was
notified of the robbery by Policeman
Straussheim, of the almshouse, and
together they searched for and found
two Of the men, but being unarmed
were unable to arrest them, and the
robbers escaped by running south on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
companys railroad tracks.

OVERSEERS TAKE CONTROL
NEW REIGN OF AUTHORITY
FOR ZION CITY.
Order Of Dowie to Deacon speicher to
Relinquish Authority Is
Ignored.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-.Despite the cipher
message from DR.. Dowie to Deacon
Speicher ordering him, it is supposed
to relinquish all authority at Zion
City, 1t became evident Thursday that
the triunlvirate, which includes
Deacons Speicher, " v. Barnes and
Granger, will continue to run things"
Judge Barnes declared that brand
new system of business management
had been installed, and that when
DR.. Dowie returns next summer he
would devote himself exclusively to
the religious features of the commu-
nifty.
Meanwhile Gladstone Dowie, son Of
the "deposed overseer," is reported to
be on his way from Jamaica to see
to 1t, if possible, that his fathers
grasp on Zion City shall not entirely
be shaken off. Although the members
OF the triumvirate united in saying
that no trouble had arisen between Dr..
Dowie and his people, Judge Barnes
refusal to discuss the mysterious mes
sage from Jamaica is regarded as evil
dence that harmony by no means ex-
lists.
Since the committee has taken hold
it has come to the conclusion that the
old system by which the Zion City en-
terprises have been operated is faulty.
Heretofore the managers of the insti-
tutions have not been Obliged to make
a personal accounting and show re-
turns on investments. The central
office" has borne the brunt of all fnan-
cial proceedings.
1t is understood to be the plan to let
the managers of the industries realize
that their positions are not sinecures.
and that if they fail to make good"
others, even il they are not adherents
Of the faith, may be allowed to come
in and help make money for Zion
City.
Creditors have been informed that
the bars will come down If necessary,
and no obstacles will be imposed in
the way of amassing all possible
profits. An outside shoe factory is
said to have an option on site. The
new policy was brought to head by
threatened foreclosure by two resi-
dents of Waukegan who hold mort
cages for $4,000. They have. agreed
to delay action.

WEATHER AFFECTS TRADE
SOME COMPLAINT OVER ITS CON-
TINUED MILDNEss.
Prospect for Active Spring Business
Is Favorable-Progress in
Manufacturing Lines.

New York, Jan. %. - Bradstreet's
says: Mild weather continues source
OF complaint by affecting retail trade,
collections and some recorder business
from wholesalers, but compensations
are found in continued activity in out
door inquiay, practically unchecked
building operations, better than ordi-
nary midwinter transportation condi-
tions and uninterrupted progress in all
manufacturing lines, particularly iron
and steel. Spring trade prospects CON
t1nue as favorable as heretofore; there
is considerable looking around; ship
ments on earlier orders are heavy AMI
the feeling favors an earlier than Or
binary opening of wholesale operations
in dry goods, millinery, shoes and kim
dred lines. Building materials were
apparently never SO active before at
this stage of the season. Bank clear.
ings again broke all records for the
week. Money is easier at nearly all
markets. Summed up, there is undi-
unfinished confidence in an immense If
not, indeed, record business for six
months al least, but there is a percep-
tible increase in the stress laid upon
the need of conservatism in specula-
ton.
R. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly
Review of Trade, say: Trade reports
are more irregular, chiefly because Of
the vagaries of the weather. At some
points results are all that could be de-.
sired, the new year starting with much
heavier transactions than in 1905, but
high temperature and excessive rains
in other localities retard retail distri-
button Of winter goods, and it is be-
coming necessary to reduce stocks by
clearance sales Nothing disturbs the
vigorous preparations for spring bust
ness, which promises to make most
gratifying exhibit. Open weather is
facilitating outdoor work, building
operations progressing at an unprece-
dented pace for the season. More ad-
vances IN wages are announced, and an
agreement as to coal mining is more
probable, but some friction is noted in
the building trades.

Pembroke, N. H., Jan. 10. The au-
thorlties of Merrimack county and of
the town of Pembroke Thursday re-
sumed investigation of the Aver trag-
edy, in which seven persons were VIC
tins and an eighth took his own life.
Many Of the townspeople visited the ru-
ms of the farmhouse at North Pembroke
which for three years has been occupied
by Charles F. Aver, his immediate fam
lily, and his mother in-law, Mrs. Isaac
Lakeman.
The victims of the tragedy were:
Charles F. Aver, aged 4S, killed him.
self by shooting; Mrs. Addie Aver, his
wife; Mrs. Isaac Lakeman, Ayers
mother-in-law; Flossie Aver. aged IL;
Alfred Aver, aged 10; Bernice Aver,
aged 6; Andrew Aver, aged 4, and a
girl baby, all children of the Ayers.
The ruins had cooled and a careful
search was instituted for the bodies of
the victims. Five charred trunks, one
of which is supposed to be that of Mrs.
Lakeman and another that of Mrs. Aver.
were found.
Clash Over an Estate.
Investigation disclosed that for three
months Aver had been brooding over
fancied financial wrong in connection
with the settlement of the estate of his
wife's father, Isaac Lakeman, who died
three years ago. The widow was named
as executrix. No final settlement of the
estate has been made, however.
Last November Mrs. Lakeman put up
the farm at auction and it was bought by
one of her sons, Fayette Lakeman. He
made an arrangement for Aver and his
wife to remain on the place, having their
rent free in return for boarding Mrs.
Lakeman, paying the taxes and making
repairs.
Aver insisted, however, that his wife
should receive the share of the purchase
money that should be hers as an heir be,
fore she signed the deeds to the place.
To this her brothers refused to consent.
Aver was angry, but his wife finally
signed the deeds. The failure to obtain
this ready money to meet his pressing
financial needs is believed to have I'M
balanced Aver mentally.
Kills Himself After Murder.
Following the murder of Mrs. Lake.
man, Mrs. Aver, and the five children of
the latter, the farm buildings were
burned and the bodies incinerated. Be-
fore the fire was discovered by neighbors
Aver left home for the residence of his
sister, Mrs. George Bailey, in the town
of Chichester, six miles distant, where
he shot himself after being informed of
the destruction of the property. Aver
died without making statement which
would assist the authorities to ascertain
the exact manner in which his seven
relatives met death.
Aver acted in a strange manner after
his arrival at the Bailey house. The
county officials concluded he had MUIR
dered all seven members of his family
as they lay in bed.
The authorities believe that Aver
used an ak, as neighbors heard no pistol
shots or disturbance of any kind at the
Aver home previous to the fire.
