SWAMP LANDS RECLAMATION
Want Government to Advance Money
for Work.

Baltimore, Md. The National Drain
age Association met in its first annual
congress here today with delegates rep
resenting more than score Of States
in attendance. The object of the asso-
citation is to promote interest in the re-
clamation Of the swamp lands and to
induce the national government to ad-
vance money enough to start the work.
A bill providing for this work is now
before congress and has been favorably
reported before the senate.
There are S0.000,000 of acres OF swamp
land in the whole country distributed
over thirty-iive States, the reclamation
of which according to drainage experts,
would not only add to the wealth of the
nation above $1,000 900 annually, but
would greatly improve sanitary condi'
tions as well.
This latter problem has drawn the
attention Of the anti,mosquito forces to
the congress and papers showing the
relation of drainage to mosquito exter-
mination and the mosquito as a sani-
tary problem will be offered by leaders
in the mosquito determination move
ment.

GOLD LEAVING GERMANY.
Wall Street Conditions Has Good Ef.
feet on German Financiers.

Berlin, Germany.-Gold continues to
leave Germany in steady stream.
The Reichbank lost probably $1,000
600 during the past week, but the
stock has been more than replenished
through arrivals from home sources.
The Reichbank is trying to increase
its gold supply by paying out bank
notes of small denominations which re-
Gently became available for circula-
ton
The impression here is that most of
the gold taken for the United States
during the week was drawn from the
open market The tendency shown in
Wall street the past few days has had
a calming effect upon the minds of the
financial community and the hope is
now entertained that a gradual recov-
cry will now set in in the United
States.

LOCK BANKERS IN THE VAULT
Daring Robbers Operate at Clinton,
Ill, in DAYLIGHT.

Clinton, lll.-"Hey, chief, come and
let these guys out of the vault before
they smother to death"
That was the message sent to police
headquarters here today by two bank
robbers just after they had held up the
State Bank of Clinton in broad day
light, robbed the bank of 81, 100 in gold
and silver coin and locked the bankers
in the looted vault, and to make their
crime the bolder, used the banks tele-
phone to send their message to the
police.
A short time afterward the two rob
bers sat in their room at the Henion
hotel counting and dividing their
booty, In the next room was Ross
Hickerniell, He had just heard Of the
bank robbery, and when he heard the
jingle of the money he slipped from his
room and notified the hotel proprietor.
The police were summoned and de-
manded admittance to the room.
There was no reply and they attempt
ed to kick the door in. Then there was
crashing sound and the robbers dived
through the screen window and landed
on the roof of the hotel kitchen.
They leaped from the roof and escaped
in the gathering darkness.
A search of the room vacated by the
two revealed a goodly portion OF the
stolen money hidden in the beds.
Several posses have been organized
and are now in pursuit of the robbers,
All freight and passenger trains are
being watched and the police of all
Central Illinois have been aroused.
