(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Spokane, Wash, April 24.-Indirect-
ly a victim of the Titanic disaster,
Edward H. Rothrock, city editor of
the Spokane Chronicle, was shot and
killed today by Richard Aleck, a RIs-
sian laborer. Aleck first told the po-
lice that he had been on the Titanic
and then that he had been on the Car
pathia, and mumbled; "There has
been too much printed about the di-
saster. He could give no other rea-
son for the deed. Aleck walked quiet
ly INTO the Chronicle local room this
morning and asked for the editor. AS
Rothrock rose and walked toward
him. Aleck drew a revolver and shot
him in the breast, telling him to the
floor. Before he could be seized, Aleck
leaned over the postrate body and
fired another shot which struck the
editor in the arm. Hethrew the re-
volver at the body as half dozen re-
pol iSIo StlLtu uiLl' llC was ulf'SSCu
into the hall muttering "Carpathia" /"
over and over, and refused to give any
other answer to the frantic threats
and questions addressed to him by his
capture.
Rothrock was lifted onto a cOpy-lit-
tered desk but did not recover cons
ciousness and died within five min
utes. The murderer later told the po-
lice that he was Russian, 40 years
old, and had come to this country four
years ago. He said he came to Spok-
ane from Portland but seemed to be
unable to tell how long he had been
here. Mr.. Rothrock was native OF
Kansas, who came to Spokane with
his family when a boy.

Bank With Dynamite at
Midnigh Hour.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
FIT. Smith, Ark April 24.-After a
two hours running fight with a posse
of citizens, four robbers who had
blown with dynamite. the vault in the
Bank of Midland. thirty miles south
o. Fort Smith, at midnight escaped
with their loot, about $4,000
Citizens of Midland We're awakened
by noise of the blasts They organi-
zed pursuit but the robbers had too
great a start The robbery had been
carefully planned All telephone wires
had been cut. Awakened by eXplo-
sions, several persons tried to commu-
nicate with friends. Finding that the
telephone exchange did not respond,
they armed themselves and aroused
neighbors. The first nearing the
bank were received by volley from
the robbers lookout. This was the
signal for two hours fight. After
the robbers got all the money in the
safe, they set fire to the building.
Sheltered by the flames, they got a
good start, and policemen were un-
able to outflank them.
Destruction Of papers in the flames
will double the loss.

WAVE Of CRIME
SWEEPS PARIS
More Than Twenty Murders
Traced to the Gang That
EIudes Police
CALLED BANDIT ANARCHISTS
Detective of French Capital Is
Shot Down and Another
Wounded.

(By Special Leased Wire to Kew N1eXican)
Paris, April 24.-One more crime
was added this morning to the long
list of those recently committed by
the gang of bandit anarchists which is
terrorizing Paris. Assistant Superin-
tendent Jouin, of the Paris detective
department was shot dead and his
cOmrade, Chief Inspector Colmar. was
seriously wounded while trying to ar
rest one Of the gang named Boonot at
Petit Ivry a suburb of Paris today. The
bandit, after shooting the detectives,
succeeded in escaping, although he
was pursued by a number of police
men and civilians. It i sbelieved he
was wounded by one of the police.
Another double murder, that Of an
aged man and his wife, who in Janu-
airy We're beaten to death in village
on the Seine, has been traced to the
same gang, and this brings the num-
ber of victims to more than a score
Prefect of Police LePine, says As.
sistant superintendent JOuin with four
detective inspectors went to the ret
uge Of BonnOt who is known as the
demon chauffeur" and with GARNER, is
a leader of the gang. The detectives
were unarmed as the law does not au-
thorize the use of arms while they are
searching domiciles.
Bonnot, VINO was at first mistaken
for Galot, another bandit, was found
in his lair When the detectives ar
rived he opened fire on them, shot
Jouin and Colmar down, floored the
rest and then jumped through a win
dow Brandishing a large revolver,
he cleared his way along the streets
and escaped to the woods, leaving a
trail of blood.

Commissioner NeilI Loses No
Time in Getting at

desire the proposed arbitration to
take Later. Commissioner Neill Or
Judge Knapp will confer with the en-
gineers. A comparison of the posi-
tions of both sides will then be pos
sible and the mediators will thea
know whether it will be necessary to
submit the whole matter to an arbi-
tration board or not
There are indications that the rail
roads will suggest that the whole mat
ter be threshed out before a general
arbitration board in the same manner
that the anthracite coal situation was
adjusted.
The demands of the engineers. it
was commonly reported today, are to
be followed by demands for increased
wages by other railroad employees and
a general arbitration board would be
able to bring out a settlement Of these
possible wage problems.

L|FEBOATS ARE
UNSEAWOkTRY
That Is Cause Given For
Strike by Firemen on
Olympic
TROUBLE FOR WHITE STAR
Broke Out as Big Transatlantic
Liner Was TO Sail For
New York.

tBy Special Leased Wire 10 New Meaican)
Southampton, Eng, April 24.-Three
hundred of the firemen and greasers
belonging to the crew of the Olympic
struck five minutes before the White
Star Liner was due to sail today for
New York. The men deserted the
ship in body. They gave as their
reason for striking that the colapsible
lifeboats installed on the vessel are un-
seaworthy.
A deputation of men employed in
the engine room of the Olympic waited
on the officers of the ship and on Com
mander Clarke, chief of the emigra-
tion officers in Southampton, to whom
they declared that the collapsible craft
on the Olympic were flimsy.
They refused to sail unless wooden
lifeboats were substituted and also de-
manded that two additional seamen
be signed on for each boat. Com
mander Clarke argued with the men,
explaining that it was impossible to
procure wooden life boats in time.
He assured them that he had pre-
viously off ficially examined all the col
lapsible boats and was satisfied with
them
Commander Clarke offered to take
the Olympic to the Coates Roads and
allow any of the crew to select any
boat or boats on board and he would
prove by demonstration that they
We're absolutely safe
Olympic Proceeds Any Way.
The men refused to be convinced
and left the ship in a body. One of
them said he had punched his thumb
through the canvas of one of the col
lapsible boats. BY pressing into serv-
on the White Star and American
liners in port, the Olympic was able
to proceed down Southampton water
where officials declared the requisite
complement of firemen, greasers and
crews was aboard and that she would
soon begin her voyage.
! The Olympic has 140 passengers on
board.
! The strikers also tried to get all the
seamen to leave the liner but this was
checkmated By officers who removed
the gangWays.
The revolt Of firemen and greasers
of the Olympic arose excitement al
the dockside where great throngs had
gathered to see the liner depart. AL
the passengers already were on board
and the gangways, with the exception
of one, had been withdrawn.
Firemen Struck at Sailing Line.

ARIZONA VOTERS TO
PASS ON RECALL MEASURE
TWO Houses of State Legislature Could
Not Agree on First Pro-
posaI.

(Ry Special Leased Wire to New MeXcan)
Phoenix, Ariz., April 24.-The low
er house of the Arizona legislature
passed a bill today proposing an
amendment to the recall provision of
the constitution to include the judi
ciary The recall measure heretofore
introduced had been buffeted between
the two bodies for some time, each
amending and each refusing to concur
in the others additions, thus making
it, in the opinion of members of both
houses, unlikely that it could ever
pass.
Today's action of the house was
considered in the light of entirely new
legislation on the recall question and
lit was expected that the senate would
take action on the measure immediate
ly. The bill provides for submission
of the recall to the people at the next
general election.

its close there will have been fixed
the question of responsibility for the
collision with the iceberg that proved

the officers on the bridge. This, he
claimed yesterday, he was unable to
do.
British Witnesses First.

chairman, announced after a meeting
with his colleagues that the British
witnesses would be called as rapidly
as possible before any more passeng-
