CROOK CAUGHT WITH.
BAG OF MONEY
(Continued from page I

000. Instead they found about $780,
1000 The sum was So great they We're
not prepared to carry it away. To
aid them they took the pollow slips
| off the bank janitor's bed, ripped the
Ipil!ows and poured out the feathers
to provide bags with which to carry
AWAY the money. After they had filled
leyeryth'ng they had there still was
100000 in currency they could not
carry. Their load, as it was, weighed
about 400 pounds.
There were five and possibly six
men who actually committed the rob
berry We believe the principal man
was John Mcnamara, alias Australian
Mack, alias Big Mack, an old school
burglar. who was arrested in New
York and is fighting extradition. AL
Addison, alias Minot, formerly of St.
Paul, hut who later operated with
q partner ostensibly in the real estate
business in Tacoma, Washington, was
another. The real estate business was
merely blind to their operations as
robbers. We never arrested Addison
Another was Charles Dean, alias Hoff-
man, and the fourth Charles Butcher,
alias Long Charlie. The fifth and
possible sixth men never have been
identified, but we think we've caught
them at last
There's just a chance that these
two men are not the robbers them
selves, but their agents, or even inno-
cent of the original crime altogether.
For example, of the SCI 900 we have
recovered, $4,000 was found on a
Toronto crook named Foley, alias
Dayton Red, who said he stole it from
another crook. Twenty-Five thousand
more was found under a sidewalk in
New Westminster, by newsboy.
"A few months ago Butcher was ar
rested in Detroit disposing of part OF
the stolen money. From him $4,000
was recovered and identified as part
fof the stolen currency His picture
was identified as one of the men get
ting away from the scene of the rob-
bery. Addison has been likewise
identified, but he has never been
heard of.
It's not true that the Chicago po-
lice have recovered s15o.0o0 of the
loot; or anything like that amount, If
any.
"The robbers load was SO heavy,
as said, that they tried to steal an
automobile they had left on the out
skirts of New Westminster. AS al
ways happens when a crime is COM
mitted, there is something to furnish
"a clew. In this case the men were
seen trying To start the stolen ma
chine. The spark plug was gone and
they didn't succeed.
Later We found witnesses who saw
the men riding from New Westminster
to Vancouver Mcnamara was driving
the car and Dean was standing on the
running board with revolver in his
hand y

AS a general rule. the roads In and
around French towns are tarred at
the commencement of the summer in
order to abate the dust nuisance IL
has. however. been found that tar.
although excellent in the case OF
macadamized roads. is of little or no
value where car lines exist and paved
street crossings intersect the roads In
every direction. as tarring cannot be
carried out on stones.
The authorities. basing their action
on the well-known hygrometricai
properties of common salt. have made
a test of its value in laying the dust
Twenty yards of roadway have been
sprinkled literally with salt and then

The growth of big cities, with ever
increasing density of population and
constantly augmented height OF fac

this a most serious problem. Increas-
ing congestion in cities it is argued,
is practically unavoidable. Fire-resist-

edge of fire-resisting materials is es-
sential. Municipal governments and
building officials are said to need
this information most urgently. At

Furthermore, it is argued that
