DARING BANDITS ROB
BANK AND ESCAPE
LOCK CASHIER IN THE VAULT;
STEAL $4,000
Small Town Near coffeyvile, Kansas,
Is Scene of Bold crlme-Posses
Are in Pursuit of the
Thieves
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
COFFEYvILLE, Kas., April 17.-Two
men entered the Citizens State bank at
Chautauqua, twenty-five miles west oil
Coffeyville, at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing, and after forcing Cashier G. G.
Walterhouse and Del Easley, q bust
ness man, to enter the vault, locked
them in, secured all the currency IN
sight, amounting to about $4,000, and
escaped into the Usage hills, across the
line in Oklahoma.
-Four posses are in pursuit and 1t is
believed the robbers will be captured.
The robbers secured but half an hour S
start, and the roads are very muddy.
The robbery was one of the most dar-
ing ever executed in this part OF Kan
sas, the scene of many hold-ups ON the
part of the Daltons, Starr and other
gangs of outlaws, who from time to
time have made their rendezvous i'll the
mountainous country of Oklahoma.
Cashier Walterhouse had scarcely
opened the bank at Chautauqua this
morning and placed his currency on the
counter ready for the days business
when the two robbers entered.
The only other person in the place
was Easley. The robbers, both OF
them we'll dressed, made their way leis-
urely TO the cashiers window. One OF
them was a man we'll known about
town. and he commanded Walterhouse
and Easey to throw up their hands.
The SLATER took the matter in the light
of a joke. The serious intention of the
robbers was realized a moment later,
however, when they both drew revoiV-
ers and, pointing them at their victims
ordered them to get into the vault.
Without further ado Walterhouse and
Easley complied. The robbers quickly
slammed the door, shutting them In,
and then leisurely went about their
business looting the bank. First they
drew down the window shades facing
the street, and locked the doors to pre-
vent interference. After they had
scraped up all the money in sight they
walked out the front entrance and up
the main street.
One of the men carried a gunny sack.
Several persons who knew the man,
whom WalterhUuse and Easley say is a
we'll known Chautauqua character,
spoke to him in friendly way. Moth
ing in the appearance of the robbers
betrayed the part they had just played.
A block away they mounted horses that
they had tied at the curbing and rode
off
After going a few blocks from the
center of the town they turned their
horses south toward the Oklahoma
Kansas state line and whipped them
into a gallop.
The robbery was not discovered until
half an hour later. when ]. II. Edwards,
president of the bank, entered his office.
After releasing Walterhouse and Easley
from the vault President Edwards gave
the alarm locally ana to surrounding
towns. Within another thirty minutes
posses had heen made up in Chautau-
qua and at Elgin and Sedan. Kas.. and
Pawhuska, Oklahoma all contiguous to
the scene of the robbery. and from
three sides the armed men began hot
chase after the bandits.

HONORABLE CANNON
TALKS TO JAPANESE
SPEAKER JOKES WITH GUESTS
FROM ORIENT
"Uncle Joe" Gives His Views on
American Newspaper Men and Is
Assured Visitors Are Not
of That Kind
Bv Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE forty
five Japanese who are making a tour
around the world and who arrived in
Washington yesterday, devoted their
time to sightseeing today. While on
the house side they were received by
Speaker Cannon and accorded hearty
welcome. The spokesman of the party
informed the speaker of the pleasure it
gave him to meet him.
Referring to the circumstances that
there were some newspaper men in the
party, the speaker elected a great deal
of laughter when he inquired if their
practices were like those of some
American journalists. Discussing this
class of writer's he said that IF there
was news, they sent it; If there was no
news, then they invented think stories;
that If one set of them did not invent
think stories to suit the other side,
they invented different think stories,
and If they could not verify either one
of the think stories they had news for
the new day by contradicting the think
stories of the day before"
Journalism makes the whole world
kim" one of them remarked, while an
other assured the speaker that they
never sent anything but real news"
covering what actually happened.
IF that is true" the speaker humor-
ously said, you can settle many inter-
national questions by exploiting your
selves and pounding that kind of jour-
nalism in the United States and the
balance of the world"
Not quite sure that he had been un-
4 Ii
saying:
IT mean do you newspaper men of
Nippon write things two ways at once;
that have not happened one way at all
so that the whole business be fresh for
contradiction the next day? Tell me-"
A wrinkled forehead, then sudden
tightening of the countenance on the
part of the spokesman FIR the visitors
and he said:
II take permission to correct for the
honorable great gentleman. Japan
newspapermen study news hard so he
shall understand each excellently, then
write those --iings very intelligently,
very honestly, thank you"
The speaker sighed. Il suppose" he
said. bending kindly eye upon the in
tense faces of his callers, II ought to
address you as 'boys?"
This was clearly incomprehensible.
The spokesman glanced around upon
his brother editors, many of them spec
tacled. one or two quite bearded. all re-
f1ecting his own expression of polite
concern.
Hard on me-" he said. 81 politely
inform the honorable sir we are not
boys-in Japan"
'I see," hastened the speaker, "and I
will explain. In this country we speak
of all good newspaper men, all real
newspapermen who know their busi-
ness, as the boys. It's a term of COM
pliment and-sometimes-of endear-
ment."
The explanation Strengthened itself
out. The compliment was accepted
with exquisite grace of word and bow,
and the newspapermen of Nippon took
their polite departure.
The party was also present at the
opening of the senate this morning.

NEW YORK, April H.-By re-
markably close margin of one minute

SUBMARINE SCANDAL
HITS NAVAL DEPT
OFFICIALS NOT BUSINESS MEN,
SAYS LIlLEY
Effort of Boat Company's Attorneys
to Have Congressman Call
Them lncompetents Is
Unsuccessful
Rv Assnciated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Represen-
tative Lilley of Connecticut, under
whose resolution special committee
of the house has been investigating
the Electric Boat company, reiterated
his charges today before the committee
that the company has made excessive
profits on the contracts it has secured
from the United States government,
and the most rigid cross-examination
by members of the committee, assisted
by Martin W. Littleton, attorney for
the electric company, failed to make
him retract.
Mr. Howard, Mr.. Stevens and Mr.
Olmstead manipulated the probe re-
lentlessly and vigorously. The latter
two especially tried to get the author of
the charges to admit that the secre-
taries and other officials of the navy
were incompetents and that they were
fooled and duped in entering into con-
tracts with the Electric Boat company.
Mr.. Stevens devoted more than half
an hour to a remarkably earnest effort
to have Mr. Lilley charge the secre-
tary of the navy and his predecessors
within the last six or seven years, the
chiefs of the navy bureaus and naval
officers generally. in whose hands are
the construction of vessels and the let
ting of warship contracts, with gross
ignorance, inefficiency and incom-
petency," in that they were responsible
for the awarding of contracts to the
Electric Boat company which netted
that concern, allegedly, more than
81, 900, 600 OF excessive profit at the gov
ernments cost.
Not Good Business
Mr.. Lilley steadfastly refused to
father such a charge. He maintained
that to the contrary he believed these
men were highly competent, lin their
lines and so far as their information
carried them" but he insisted that
they were not good business men, that
the poor bargains they made proved
that, and that to none others than
shrewd. able business men should be
entrusted the letting of government
contracts.
An attempt by Mr.. Stevens to have
Mr.. LilIey testify that on the shoul-
ders of the president should be placed
the responsibility fo- the alleged in
competency of naval officials. ELECTED
the reply that the policy which has
brought into office five secretaries of
the navy in as many years is poor
policy
In the course of his testimony rela-
tive to possible influence having to do
with the awarding o. contracts to the
Electric Boat company, Mr.. Lilley said
he "had reason to know there has been
a great deal of nervousness in the ex-
ecutive offices and the navy and war
departments" and that this may have
government
that they should procure submarines
at any cost"
Regarding the production of the
books of the electric company, Mr.. Lii
ley said he thought they would show
a very large sum of money had been
expended by this company, "some such
fund as the yellow dog fund devel-
oped during the insurance investiga-
tion in New York"
