L Two young men, without masks.
lined up twenty-five men in the Oak
saloon and gambling house at l
o'clock this morning and took all the
money on the gaming tables. Both
robbers had big revolvers and con-
Quoted the robbery with the nom
chalance of professionals. A posse,
heavily armed, is now securing the
hills in pursuit.
The two bandits had been hanging
about Park City several days. They
loafed about the poker rooms and &C.
casionally played for small stakes.
Both are well dressed.
This morning they were playing at
the poker game in the oak saloon. One
of them played out his hand and rose
from the table. The other robber kept
on playing while his partner went to
the front of the saloon and. drawing
ing the bartender from the front room
to the back room wheEe the games
were running.
As the men came filing back the
robber at the poker table whipped out
a big revolver and cried:
Don't none of youse guys make no
moves unless you banker to die. We
are watchin' you"
This robber then called to all the
men in the room to line up against
the wall. The command was quickly
obeyed. They were then compelled to
hold up both hands. but the robbers
did not take anything from them.
While one of the desperadOes kept
the whole crowd covered, his partner
went to the roulette game, the faro
game, the craps game and the poker
kitty" and took all the money in
sight
Among the men lined up against the
wall were a number of gun" men,
and apparently the robbers knew that
the slightest mistake would be taken
advantage of, for they were very
watchful and careful Everybody
agreed that there was not the ghost
of a chance for anyone to have made
successful resistance.
After getting the money. the robbers
walked out Of the saloon, keeping their
pistols pointed toward the crowd. Once
outside the doors, they ran with all
speed and were soon lost to sight. A
posse was quickly formed, headed by
+. p. Evans, city marshal, and IS now
in pursuit of the robbers.

DEMOCRATS PLAYING
POLITICS TO LIMIT
Debate on Lodge Resolution Making
Appropriation for High
Price Inquiry.

Washington, April 2L-Senater
Johnson of Alabama TODAY informed
the Senate that movement for the i'm
portation OF Australian beef had been
lhaugurated in New York as a means
OF meeting trust prices. He said it
had been found that the foreign meat
could be sold at rate of six cents a
pound less than the domestic product.
The statement was made in connec-
ton with a speech in opposition to
the Lodge resolution appropriating
S6S5,OOO for the extension of the cost
OF living inquiry so as to gather retail
figures.
senators Bacon and Stone talked Of
the political aspect of the inquiry. De-
caring MI. Aldrtch had said the motive
DacA OF the inquiry was that of refut-
ing the general idea that the increased
cost or living was due to the tariff Mr.
Bacon said if that was true, the in0uiTv
would be along political lines and en-
ufely unsatisfactory
Mr. Bacon said he had no doubt the
purpose Of the inquiry was to meet the
general public protest against the
Payne law, protest which, he said,
had been emphasized in the special con-
greSSiOnal elections held since the law
had gone into effect.
Asserting the inquiry was directed
especially at the Insurgents" Mr. Stone
addressed them, saying:
They are going to whip you into
line by showing your contention is un-
founded and by showing you are rebels
without reason"
Senator Clay charged that previous
to their appointment several members
of the committee had committed them
selves to the view that the tariff had
had no effect on the cost of living.
He regarded the members of the COM
mittee as jurors to try the case, and
said they should not have prejudged
the question.
TT is a question of facts replied
Mr.. Aldrich. The committee is eX-
pected to present the figures and the
country will reach its own conclu-
siOns."
The resolution was about to go to
vote when Mr.. LaFollette presented an
amendment requiring an especial in
quiry into che cost of manufacturing
articles affected by the investigation.
The amendment was accepted by MIR.
Lodge, but a new line of discussion
was started and the resolution was not
disposed Of Mr.. Lodge gave notice
that he would call it up again tomOr-
row.

STILL DEEPER PROBING
Government Has Not Called OFF the
Cotton Inquiry-Interview
With James Patten.

New York, April 21.-The sudden ad-
journment today of the federal inquiry
into the alleged cotton pool sent a
thrill Of hope to certain quarters Of the
financial district that perhaps the gov
eminent had decided to call off the in
YestigatiOn.
Clark McKercher, assistant attorney
general, soon dispelled that hope by
announcing that other witnesses were
to be called at further grand jury sit
Plans for a deeper probing into the
alleged cotton pools will, 1t is said, be
made within few days at Washing
ton.
James Patten of Chicago, banged his
fist on an oak table OF a dOwn-tow
brokerage office this afternoon and
said his was not lin this game to
squeeze any one" and further, that
there would be no corner in cotton.
Says Mr.. Patten:
Nov, look here, / will tell you the
inside story of my operations in this
market l have bought cotton on the
theory of supply and demand. L be-
ievs the mills here and in Europe Will
close down in August and September
because they Will have no cotton to
work on. They will then cry, give US
cotton; we must have it, Now there il
is in a nutshell If l am wrong, why
not show me where. l am long on
cotton on this theory,
IF the government steps in and
stops speculation, why then / shall
stop. but it will be an evil day il sucn
a step is ever taken.
"A great deal has been printed to the
effect that Frank Hayne. w. Z. Brown
F. Scales and myself are engaged IN a
conspiracy to corner the May crop OF
cotton No more ridiculous statement
was ever made. Why, there are two
million bales of May cotton in sight
At SIS a bale it would require SI5O,-
100000 to maintain a corner. It is a
matter of history that no man has ever
succeeded in eornering cotton crop.
