Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Part Of the
$4,000 loot robbers got from the
bank of Montreal at New Westminis-

Chicago police, according to an ad-
mission by Assistant Chief Scheutt-

the belief that the two robbers who
escaped from the police are still here.
The robbers, it is believed, should
have most OF the large bills taken in
the robbery of the Bank of Montreal,
but the smaller notes, II is thought,
have been either spent or exchanged
for American money. 1t was learned
that the men had planned to exchange
the rest of the money for American
currency by men who made a Wabash
avenue saloon their headquarters and
who could get rid OF the Canadian
hills in their native land.

NEWS NOT SUPPRESSED.
So Far as Could Be Learned by Senator
Smith,

New York, May 3.-Testimony taken
yesterday by Senator William Alden
Smith of Michigan, chairman of the
Senate committee investigating the III.
tanic disaster, did not reveal any facts
tending to confirm the report that news
OF the disaster, which the White Star
liner made public on Monday evening,
April Is, reached New York early that
morning.
To determine this question was the
principal object of the senator's visit to
New York, and he had before him yes
terday in private hearing John Bottom
ley, vice president of the Marconi com
pany, e. j. Dunn, the New York mer-
chant who testified in Washington that
he was informed by the son of Western
Union operator that message was re-
ceived in New York on Monday telling
OF the Titanie's fate, and the operator
himself who returned to the city yester-
day, Mr.. Smith said. after having been
absent since Saturday night
These two witnesses We're disposed to
be reealcitrant, the senator said and
their examination was very unsatisfac-
tory. He said he would call the operator
again. when he hoped to obtain more
definite information.
Vice President Bottomley, according to
his stenographic testimony, disclaimed
all knowledge of such news being re-
ceived here at the time reported

TAFT MEN ASK RECOUNT.
Seek Basis for Seating Bay State Dele
gates at National Convention.

Boston, May 3.A petition was filed
with the Boston board Of election com
missioners last night by Chairman Her
man HORNED of the Republican state
committee asking for a recount OF the
vote cast at Tuesdays primaries for
Republican delegates-at large in every
ward in Boston except in ward 7. To-
day similar petitions will be filed ask
ing for recounts OF the vote for Republi-
can delegates large throughout the
state.
Taft managers hope that the recount
will show that the number of ballots
thrown out because crosses were marked
for both ex-senator Frank Seiberlich and
the regular Taft ticket, headed by Sem
ator Crane, would have been sufficient,
if counted, to have elected the Taft
ticket for delegates at large. The vOt-
ers We're allowed to vote but eight
names but the proximity of the name
of Seberlich, also pledged for Taft, to
the regular ticket, resulted it is said, in
many voters invalidating their ballots
by marking all nine names
According to the Taft leaders, the re-
count is asked for primarily so that the
Taft forces will have some basis on
which to fight for the seating of their
delegates at the national convention.
Governor Foss has released the dele
gates elected on the Democratic ballot
from any obligations that they may feel
to vote for him as presidential nominee
at the national convention in Baltimore.
The delegates will, therefore, be free to
vote for Speaker Clark.
