walked into the SUBJ b-treasury here this
morning, grabbed $4,000 that was be-
ing paid out to a national bank teller
and started to run from the building.
Clerks and others gave chase and the
two men were so hotly pursued that
they threw the money under street
car Both men were captured and are
now in the City Hall. One of them
carried a revolver. The money was in
notes and was all recovered.
The two men had been hanging
around the sub Treasury for several
days, and were being watched by pri-
vate bank detectives and sub-Treasury
guards.
They gave their names, after their
arrest, as c. D. Bates and Charles
Watkins, and said they lived in New

AL.DERMANIC
BOARD
BoscainO Retires, About
to Move to the
Ei, hth Ward.

Lorenzo Boscaino, Republican Alderman
from the Fifteenth Ward, handed in his
resignation from the Common Council to
City Clerk James f. Connolly today, thus
further depicting the fighting minority in
the Aldermanic body.
The retiring Alderman gives as his rea-
sons that ht is about to move TO the
Eighth Ward. and cannot consistently rep
resent the Fifteenth The resignation Is to
go into effect November 1.
The term of the Fifteenth Warder ex-
pi.es in January. 1908. and his resignation
anticipates his retirement by only a few
m 1nths. The Common Council will meet
the week following the general election,
as it Is the custom the meeting before
election not to transact any business until
afler the political arena is cleared.
| IL is understood that the retirement OF
| the Fifteenth Warder is not alone actuated
| by his moving to another ward. but dates
back to the primaries where his fellow
countryman. Francis A. Fiori, was de-
feated ir the Fifteenth for the Alder
manic nomination to succeed the present
incumbent. and the large percentage OF
the italian citizens in the word, 1t is I'M
derstood has taken 1t as personal affront
that they will have no representation by
n 4ountryman in the governing body of
the city.
