CRISIS IN GERMANY
CHANCELLOR vox BUELoW's RES
 EGNATIoE EeakED FOR.
The Reichstag Adopts Quotation Tax Which von nucfow Declares the Governulent Will
 Never Accept.

Berlin. June 22.--The political situa- ton for, the crown is extremely con- fused by today's events. The Reich stag's adoption of quotation tax. which Chancellor svon Buelow declared the government would never accept and the Finance Committees rejection of an inheritance tax, which he declared to be an essential part of the central scheme of finance reform. leaves the Chancellor's position extremely preca- rious. Many politicians now think that the Chancellor will be compelled to resign, unless he has the courage to dissolve the Reichstag and appeal to the country.
 The latter solution. however. is re- garded as practically out of the ques- ton. since Prince von Buelow would have to make a fight against the con- servatives, who are accounted the tra- ditional pillars of the throne. The opinions. therefore, of nine-tenths of those conversant with the situation, favor resignation. 1t is also believed that Chancellor von Buelow's retire ment would be followed by the resig- nations of Herr Sydow, Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, and Baron won Rheinbaben, Prussian Minister of Fi- nance. who are equally committed with the Chancellor to the inheritance tax and against the quotation tax.
 In the meantime, the outlook for f. nancial reform is exceedingly gloomy. The inheritance tax will come up for the second reading on Thursday before a full House. where its adoption ia possible notwithstanding It's rejection today by the committee,
 But the conservatives and clericals declare that if it Is adopted they will refuse further co-operation. It is also uncertain what attitude the Federal Council finally will take on the. quota tion tax. and therefore the govern ment's difficulties multiply.

HOLDS UP THE CASHIER

Fort Worth. Tex. June 22-In true frontier style, a lone highwayman, described as genteei in appearance and nattiiy dressed. robbed the branch banking house of the Waggoner Bank and Trust Company. in the most cen- tral section of the downtown business district of Fort Worth this afternoon, of Ss.100 ln currency, made his escape. and up to a late hour tonight, has suc- cesded in evading the searching par ties of police and citizens.
 The robbery was the most daring attempted in Texas in years. Cashier Walter E. King was alone in the bank at the time. o'clock, balancing the transactio of the day. when we'll dressed stranger walked In. AS the man approached the window of the cashiers compartment. King looked up and down the barrel of a revolver. Next came the demand for money in sight.
 Make a move or noise of any kind and I'll kill you" was the greeting. declares Mir. King.
 The cashier compiled. and stuffing the rolls of bills, $S.100, In denomina- tions ranging from s10 to $2o. into hts pocket, the man backed out of the door under cover of his pistol, and as MT. King ran to telephone ne saw the man walking down the street ana
 
 parent air of unconcern.
 The police reached the scene nve minutes later, hut the stranger had disappeared.
 Seen by Several People. At the time of the robbery, several hundred persons were in the vicinity or the building and many noted the are rival at the bank and the departure of the man. but his manner gave nc indication of his purpose, Several de- ciared that he climbed into waiting automobile after walking several blocks, but the police place little creos ence In this assertion. and 1t Is believea he Is stiI in Fort Worth. Tonight searching parties are out ID force and every place of possible hid- ing Is being searched. An tnterurban car. which left Fort Worth at ( o'clock for Dallas. was overtaksu by the oflieers in an autoWe- pile, and the car searched, but this the l moat plausible means of eecape Sfos the man. had. not been, ntilihsd According to CakhiSr King the mau was about 35 years old, tall and slen- der and apparently a man of refine. rnent and was modis1lv dressed.
 The loss 10 the Waggoner Bank ia covered bv insurance. The bank has however, offered reward of sf.0o0 and a like sum will probably be oeffred by the city, for the capture of the high wayman.
