FIGHT WITH BANK ROBBERS
Latter Escape Shots of Citizens
and Take $500.
State Senator Hewitt, President of
the Bank at Locke, N. Y, Fires a
Dozen Shots Without Effect.

Locke, N. Yin a fight to capture
burglars who blew open the safe and
secured $500 in money of the Citi-
zens' Bank, here, State Senator C. J.
Hewitt, president of the bank, ex-
changed about a dozen shots with the
robbers, but they escaped, none of
the shots taking effect. The robbers
kept up a revolver fire, keeping back
every one in their path until they
reached the cover of the woods.
The first explosion in the bank
aroused Mr.. Hewitt, who got his re-
volver and fired continuously, the
robbers keeping up the fire, while one
of their numbers was rifing the safe.
The thieves gained entrance to the
bank by forcing the front door.

ILLINOIS PRIMARY LAW VOID.
Special Session of the Legislature is
Likely as a Result.

m Go g S6dl
Springfield, III. = The Supreme
Court decided that the Primary Elec-
ton law is unconstitutional.
In political circles it is considered
that the decision throwing out the
primary act will necessitate a special
session this fall of the Legislature,
and those close to Governor Deneen
believe he will issue a call for it.
Under the old law no provision is
made for an advisory vote on the
election of a United States Senator.
Independent voters objected to the
present primary law, because under
1T they were obliged to declare fealty
to one of the political parties if they
desired to vote at the primary. In
spite of this provision elections under
it demonstrated that voters of one
party could aid in the selection of the
candidates of an opposite political
party. The scandals in some of the
Chicago wards at the primary last
August called attention to this fea-
ture of its working.
