 They Are Shot to Death
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.) London. Jan. 23.-After the widest bandit chase ever seen in London in which two persons were killed and five fatally injured and a score of others shot. police and bowling mob closed In on their quarry in the populous suburb of Tottenham this afternoon only to lose their chance to wreak vengeance upon the two fugitives by the latter shooting out their brains. One of the bandits blew out his brains on a crowded street car just as the mob was about to lay hands on him. The other entered a cottage and <arove out the occupants at the point Df-sa revolver. He peeked from win dow and seeing the cottage surround ] ed by the mob and policemen entering the door. he too. fired a bullet into his head and fell dead.
 When the man-hunt started at the Sclruman rubber factory where the bandits were formerly employed they held up an automobile in which were the weeks wages of the employees.
 The automobile was manned by two policemen, one acting as chauffeur and the other as guard. The latter was shot dead and the former dangerously wounded.
 The hold-up occurred in a thickly populated section. The bandits seized the bags of gold in the auto and fled. followed by a throng of policemen and bystanders. An attempt was made to captured the robbers in the auto but they exploded the tires. The bandits quickly boarded a trolley car and shot ike naotorman and conductor and fired RfnonE the passengers. One of the bandits put the car at full speed while his pal covered the passengers with his brace of revolvers While going at terrific speed the car collided with wagon and became disabled. Many. of the passengers and the driver of the wagon were injured in this collision;; :,
 Two of the persons who were killed in the pursuit were a policeman nam ed Tyler and boy named Arthur Brooks, the top of whose head was torn off,. A baby had it's jaw torn away. Two men and a boy are re- ported dying from their wounds.

 It is believed that the bandits visited the rubber factory to assassinate the proprietor but decided on robbery when they saw the automobile ,ap- preaching.
 The robbers then jumped into a moving van and whipping the horses into a gallop, continued the mad flight. They reloaded their revolvers while moving and coolly shot at their putsuers. The police were at disad- vantage as London policemen do not carry revolvers.
 Rifles were secured in the mean time and, for many blocks a running light ensued. The rifles finally brought down the horses and the bandits jump cd out.

ENGINEERS DROPPED TO
 CUT EXPENSES

New Haven, Jan. 23.-In reply to a story in railroad circles to-day that the New Haven road had reduced 100 engineers to firemen and had discharg- ed a like number of the latter, the road gave out an official statement from it's general office here this noon which says:
 "The statement is greatly exagger- ated. A small number of engineers have been set down and a similar number of firemen have been dropped from the Extra list
 The road refused to state how many a small number" might mean and was likewise impossible to ascertain from the men how many had been dropped or reduced. Many of the firemen expressed discontent at the New Haven's retrenchment policy however, and several said the recent order was a blow directed at the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers and firemen.

M'KENNA SOLVES
 CAR BARN PROBLEM
City Engineer Has a Plan for a Double Entrance Gar Barn Which
 Looks Good.
Designs to Use Water and Gold Streets, Eliminating Danger Spots in Stratford Avenue and Congress Street.

City Engineer McKenna has devised a plan whereby the Connecticut Co.,, can have a double entrance car barn without running it's cars across the sidewalks in Stratford avenue or Con- eress street. The plans will be present. ed to the railroad commissioners when they meet here Feb. 23. It is under stood that the mayor looks upon the plans of Engineer McKenna with considerable favor.
 The plan of the engineer allows the railroad to leave it's car barn located where it was shown on the original plans and and provides for the en- trance to the barns in the same place as did the original plans.
 MT. McKenna uses Gold street which is to be widened from 40 to 50 feet and Water street south of Gold St., as a. means of running cars to and from the barn so that cars can be leaving the barn by way of Gold St., while they are being run into the Gold St. running from Main St. cross es Water street and passes upon the railroads ramp and tap the south end of the barn. The track in Gold street running from Main street cross es Water street and pass upon the property of the railroad along the west side of the elevated tracks and near Congress street they turn to the east and pass beneath the viaduct and tap the north end of the barn.
 There is no change in grades re- quired to carry out the plans except the sinking of the tracks for a short distance, to a depth of two feet on the railroads property onsthe east side of Water street, near No. 5 engine house. Outside of this per cent. grade the present surface will remain unchanged.

Mr. Brokaw did not take the stand
in his own defense today though he
was prepared for it. For half an
