WOMAN PREVENTS
A BANK ROBBERY
ATTACK ON THREE EMPLOYEES
WHO CARRIED A FORTUNE IN
CASH is FOILED.

NEW YORK, May 25.-While three
employees of the Jefferson Bank were
on their way from the branch at Gin
ton and Houston streets to the main
bank on Canal street, carrying $43, 900
cash, they were attacked on First
street by three men, who jumped upon
them and threw pepper in their faces,
the leading thug attacking Samuel
Edelman, who carried the bulk of the
money, grabbing his money bag and
attempting to run with it. The other
thugs took care of Joseph H. Velsor
and Abraham Stern, the other messen-
gers.
Edelman tried to shake his assailant
off, but was faring badly under the
pummeling, when Mrs. Eva Javornicka
waitress in a nearby restaurant,
grabbed the leader of the band by
the arm. She screamed so loudly for
help that a patrolman came running
up, frightened the other two thugs
away, and was right at the heels of the
man who had attacked Edelman by
the time he had managed to shake
himself free from the waitress. The
third was captured.
The man arrested gave his name as
Casino Riccobono. The police tonight
arrested Riccobono's father, Giovanni
Riccobono, and his two brothers, Sal
vatori and Dameano Riccobono, who
are held as suspects, for a further ex-
animation tomorrow.

Indiana Railroad Commission
Rules in Favor of T.
H., !. & E.
THE PETITION is DENIED.
NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO JUS
TIFY ORDERING TRACTION
COMPANY TO MAINTAIN DEPOT.

indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 2S.-The
of Richmond. on the Terre Haute, In
dianapolis and Eastern traction line,
will have to continue to struggle along
without an interurban depot. The
State Railroad Commission so decided
today.
Some time ago, E. S. Barton. of
Straughn, filed a petition with the
railroad commission asking that the
interurban company be required to
erect and maintain a depot at that
place He said there was no shelter
for either passengers or freight and
that this was great Inconvenience to
the patrons of the line. The railroad
commission made an investigation and
held a hearing of the case. A man
named Willis testified that he has a
store at Straughn anG that he offered
to allow the company the use of his
store as waiting room for 81 month
and 81 a month for heat and light An
arrangement of that kind was made,
but did not continue long, because
"
that was offered for the interurban
line. Since. then there has been no
agent at Straughn.
The railroad commission learned
that the total revenue from freight for
warded from Straughn from Nov. l to
Nov. y. was $3O.57. Besides this,
there were shipments of milk on tick
to $50. In six days there were 46l
passengers out of Straughn. who paid
fares amounting to So1.15.
On this showing the railroad COM
mission decided that to compel the in
terurban to erect and maintain a depot
and an agent at Straughn would cost
more than the revenue would justify.
and that it would work a hardship on
the company. Therefore the petition
for a depot was refused

ARE DISSATISFIED
Signs of Uprising Against
Speaker Cannon Are More
Pronounced.

SQUARE DEAL ON TARIFF REVS-
ION DEMANDED BY PEOPLE
ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS
AND SPEAKER MUST GIVE IN.

Washington, Nov 2S.-within a
week it will be known definitely
whether or not the fight against the
reelection Of Speaker Cannon is to be
pressed. Members of Congress are
flockfng to Washington on every train
and are responding with surprising
promptness to suggestions of insurg-
ency. An attempt surely will be made
to change the rules of the House, and
perhaps to provide for the election of
the committee on rules, instead of its
appointment by the Speaker A larg-
er crowd would rally to this PROPOSE
tion than the one requiring the mem
bers to vote against Mr.. Cannon.
Frank Fl. Hitchcock returned to
Washington today and will confer with
all the Congressman he can assemble
between now and a week from Mon
day, when Congress opens. Mr..
Hitchcock has not expressed his ap-
proval or disapproval of the plan to
fight Cannon, and his investigations
are expected to be valuable as tndi-

Taft has no present direct hand in 1t

long growing spirit of rebellion in the
House against the rigid class leader.
ship which has kept too many mem
bers inactive when they and their con

With Speaker Cannon in the chair
and committee appointed by him
drafting a tariff bill, it is easy to see
that there is some basis for the popu
lar apprehension that the people will
not get a square deal The commit
tees on rules and ways and means
have been so long intrenched in power
that they hold themselves responsible
to no authority but their own.
Has Changed Somewhat.
This has been their invariable atti
tude toward other members and the
people. This attitude has changed
somewhat since the hearings began
and even Mr.. Payne is loud in his pro
testations that his committee will dc
the square thing. But the people have
the record of the Republican House
leaders for the last twelve years on
which to base their estimate of wha,

ton, the members of Congress who
now constitute the insurgent element
