Bandits in New York.

New York, Feb. A force OF band
its. who, because OF the expert manner
in which they work are believed by the
police to hail from Chicago, are
terrorizing this city. Their specially is
holding up elevated and subway ticket
agents and saloon keepers. Since
Wednesday they have been responsible
for six holdups, and that no one was
killed by them is strange, as they have
used their revolvers in an indisc,imi-
nate manner.
The saloons that they have stuck
up" we're riddled with bullets by the
men, who escaped before police re-
serves could reach the scene. As re-
suit OF all the hoId-ups, however, the
robbers have secured less than S400 in
cash.
Special patrolling forces OF detectives
were today detailed to look for the
robbers who are expected to make
other attempts to secure funds.

Officials Charged with Manslaughter

Officials Charged WIN hahsiauSh'e''
Jersey City, n. j., Feb. 4. When
the eight officials OF the Jersey Central
Railway, the Du Pont Powder Company
and Captain James Healing, owner OF
the i'll iatcd Catherine w, were ar
raigned before Judge Queen today
charged with manslaughter in being
responsible for last Wednesdays eNplo-
sion, they were represented by a big
array OF lawyers. 1t was made plain
that the jurisdiction of the Hudson
county authorities was to be questioned
from the outset.
Prosecutor Garven told the court he
was prepared to prove that the explo,
sives which caused the disaster had
been in the city for six days without
the knowledge of the authorities. That
permit was not applied for in the
case, he said, was due to the fact that
the railroad aud powder company Off
Gals knew that not only would such a
permit be refused but that if the Off
Gals OF the city knew that such a guam
tity of explosives bad been brought in
side the limits, steps would have been
taken to protect the community.
Judge Queen fixed bail for the men
at $500 each which they could not fur
nish. The court said that. although
Re realized it was hardship to send
men to jail who had done nothing, he
was compelled to do so at the request
of the prosecutor. All were at once
taken before Judge Robert Carey in the
Court of Common Pleas who per.
mitted them to 60 on their own recog
uizance pending the returning OF in
dictments by the grand jury.
With the recovery Of the body o
Captain James A. Armstrong OF tht
lighter Whistler last night, making i
certain that bodies are hidden in thu
wreckage OF that craft and the Cattle
rine W., additional divers were put tc
work today searching for these bodies
That the explosive was black powder
and not dynamite, was the belief OF the
Du Pont officials today. They said
that there was no question but that the
dynamite on the pier Yas frozen and
consequently could not have been de-
