Young Bell said that this afternoon
when he went home he was conscience
stricken and decided to make a clean
breast of the affair. So he came up
to the city, intending to go to the

AS he was passing the bank building
he saw Mr.. Brent drive up in his auto
mobile and go into the bank.

to Mr.. Brent, who was writing a letter,

that he took the money came as a

r. C. Cowan and r. M. Sackett, OF
the Burns agency, which represents
the American Bankers Association.
praised Chief Sanders to a Journal
representative last night. "We found
your police chief not only comp petent,
but he was willing and a tireless
worker. We asked for his assistance
when we reached Pensacola and took
charge of the case, and he not only
gave us every assistance possible. but
his assistance was invaluable"
The Burns men did not work with
the Pinkerton men at any. time. They
held one conference with the express
company officials, and then started
work on their own account. SO far as
the Ptnkerton men were concerned, the
Burns detectives did not recognize
them as working on the case
The detectives say the bank officials
rendered them every service possible
and urged them to GO their very best
in finding the guilty party.

Boston.--The great Lawrence strike
which brought in Its train increased
wages for 275,000 textile workers in
New England. officially was declared
on at all the mills in Lawrence on
Sunday, having accomplished IT'S pur-
pose, in the opinion of the leaders.
1t is generally believed that ad-
yances in wages or reduction In hours
OF paper mill employees, bagging and
burlap workers, machinists and oper-
atives in other industries, all are
traceable to the movement which had
its origin in Lawrence. The number
of persons thus to benefit is more
than 100000.
Advances in the prices of wooden
and cotton goods which have been
made or which are in prospect will
place upon the ultimate consumer
much OF the burden of the additional
cost to the textile manufacturers.
This will aggregate between ten and
twelve million dollars in the next
year, 1t is estimated.
