Hall wouldn't let him tell what chances he had for be- ing made a detective sergeant. In fact, he wouldn't let him look into the future at all but insisted on E on- dee's having a personal interview with Superintendent Birmingham
 The Superintendent had seen the alIuring announcements of FOndee, who offered to read the fortunes of Ia dies for from 50 cents to $1, and of gentlemen for from $1 to $2. So he suggested that Hall might go get a reading.
 Hall entered the orienta1ly furnish ed apartments of the seer. A glib tongued youth, neatly dressed and dreamy eyed, saluted him.

 "Oh, don't know" shy1y ven tured the detective. 'How much does it cost ?''
 piled the clairvoyant, who was al- ready rending as under the veils that obs..ured the future of the sleuth.
 s'y'd prefer to have it done in my owr apartment,'' urged the detective. At =his point another young man ap- peared. There didn't appear to be any more people in the place, so Hall have to go to police headquarters.
 Slpt Birmingham ordered them to ouif the city at once and they prom ised to do so.

 New Haven, April S.-Too much photography caused the downfall of George M. Haller, 1ocksmith, who was arrested last evening on the charge of faking Uncle Sam's money.
 Haller today told the police he was such 8 "crank" on photography that he spent most of his time perfecting himself in his art and soon learned all there was to be learned. When he became hungry for new fields of research, he said he settled upon counterfeiting as the field. Unfortu- nate1y Haller's plans were brought to an abrupt end for all his counterfeit Ing parapherpaIia, including several pieces of sample" money he had turned out, are now in the hands of the police and will be turned over to secret service officers who will arrive from New York before tonight.

Rather a dramatic scene was en- acted at the West End post office this morning when City Sheriff Thomas Cunningham, armed with a writ of replevin made a, formal de- mand upon Superintendent James L.

 DESIRED BY BRANDEIS
Especial from United Press)

Washington, April s.-A slap was administered to Secretary Ballinger today by the Congressional Commit tee delving into the conservation con- troversy. The motion was unani- mous1y carried overru1ing Secretary BalEnger's protest against repeated calls for documents by Attorney Brandeis, for the prosecution" The secretary, in a letter made public at the last meeting of the committee, declared that these requests were in the nature of a fishing process and an @oblfqae attempt to control the presentation of evidence.'
 When the hearing opened today Brandeis, replying to the secretary's charges, protested against the secre- tary's delay in producing the docu- ments called for and demanding in structions to Ballinger to turn them over at once.
 we can't get anything in the na- ture of a surprise in the documents we call for," exclaimed Brandeis. ''The secretary knows everything we asked for and I might say that an- swers to several of our calls have been withheld so that the secretary could look over everything"

He pounded on it thinking that the porter had closed it by accident, but failed to get a response. He then opened it with his own key and he started inside the door was confronted by two men armed with revo1vers and with the lower part of their faces concealed by colored handkerchiefs. Schum- way ordered to throw up his hands, but instead jumped" the foremost bandit and they were soon rolling over and over in the narrow vesti- hule, engaged in a desperate hand to-hand conflict. The other robber t1ied to aid his associate but was afraid to fire as he could not tell in the seni-darkness who was top. Finally the second man managed to slash the air hose and as the train came to a sudden stop the pair threw Schumway back into the car and leaped off while the wheels were still turning. The crew went to the con- ductors assistance and word was telegraphed to headquarters to send men and dogs to pursue the bandits who escaped in the woods that lined the tracks at this point.

 Lacrosse, Wis, April S.-One of the most sensational hold-ups in the history of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway took place to- day and that the robbers did not se- cure a large amount of loot was due entirely to the heroism of Conductor Schumway.
 The train was bowling along be- tween Tomah and Oakdale at a high rate of speed when the two robbers, who were masked and well armed, were discovered by Schumway, who grappled with the bandits, defying their weapo and was overpowering the leader when his associate cut the air hose, bringing the train to a sud- den stop.
 The pair then threw off the con- ductor and escaped. A posse is in search of them. An early report that the robbers secured money and jewe1ry valued at $1S,OOO from the passengers of one of the Pullman cars on the train is denied by the train crew and officials of the road.
 The couple are believed to have boarded the train at New Lisbon, taking a position between the mail

Eight arrests, mostly of tourists, were made at Fairfield avenue and Main streets from 10:3o@to o'clock today, in a determined effort of the police to secure an enforcement of the various sections of the recently en- acted automobile law, and the regula- tions Of the secretary of state.

tional Realty Co, on the ground that it has never been paid for it's sup plies. The property was furnishe d to the National Realty Co.,, which erected the West End post office. The Realty company made an arrange nent with the government for the rental of the post office, and the gov ernment has been using the stuff since the West End office opened last June.
 The title. however, to the stock and fixtures, according to the papers served today, still remains in the Corbin Company, who sold the goods to the Horsfa11 Construction Com pany, upon a conditional bill of sale. The conditions of the bill have not yet been fulfilled, and hence it is claimed that the title to the property is still vested in the New Britain con- cern. The Horsfau Construction Com pany turned the goods over to the National Realty Company, and it is against the latter that the suit is brought.
 The government will be allowed to use the fixtures of the office, for the present at least, undisturbed, through the courtesy of the New Britain peo- pie.
