terrorizing northern Indiana. They
had planned to hit Gary first and tben

cut short today when they were ar
rested by Sheriff c. A Kintzel and
Marshal C. b. Moon
Lots of ammunition
The young men were found in pos

Ala Admit Guilt
The members of the gang admitted
their guilt and also told of stealing a
saw and taking a large quantity of
goods from the local station of Cruik-
shank Brothers. They explained that
their robberies. so far, had been main
ly for the purpose OF obtaining guns
and ammunition with which to arm
themselves for the big jobs planed for
the future.
They told the officers that in their
last robbery their first work after emit

In case of a surprise.
Had 1t All Fixed.
The juvenile bandits told of big Jobs
that had been planed. These included
the robbing of many prominent places
in cities of northern Indiana
The young men are members of
prominent families. They are now In

broken up what promised to become
one of the worst gangs OF thieves this

CALUMET FARMER"

Raucous Notes When He

Joke on Fred Busse. !.

Fred is a good fellow, whom most
people about town know, as connected
with the Calumet Kennedy Land COM
pany, and an ex-farmer. Fred can
talk crops until his tongue hangs out
and he can distinguish a Shanghai
rooster from Bantam hen with his
eyes shut If he hears it crowd He
also knows all about putting in po-
tatoes in the dark OF the moon If you
expect a good crop, or at whatever
stage of the moon insures the good
crop, and when it comes to picking
good corn. land, he can tell 1t by the
rustic. In fact. he has the Farm and
Fireside." Farm Journal, The Poul-
try Keeper" and the rest of the
magazines of farm lore. backed off
the boards as an encyclopedias of USE
full farm knowledge. but when It
comes TO knowing anything about
mules. Say!
The deep-most depths of Fred
Busses ignorance about mules was
probed Saturday. Also peacocks. but
that Is not remarkable.
Hardigan Bros have their barns
near the Calumet Kennedy Land com
pany's offices in Calumet In that
barn for few days has ben a big
black mule with a voice that Caruso
might envy. The mule has tuned up
with considerable frequency of late.
and on Saturday Fred Busse's curiosity
was aroused to know Just exactly
what it was that made that strange
hee-haw noise. He asked Mike Cor
man. Now Mike Is farmer, too. but
the difference Is that he knows a mule
when he hears it. However thinking
to have little joke on Fred he in
formed him that the noise was made
by the biggest peacock he had ever
seen, which had been presented tc
Judge Riley for a Christmas present
and that the judge in lieu of better
place to keep the bird, was making use
of the Hardigan barn. SO what does
Fred do but HE himself over TO the
barn to take a look at the peacock

MAKE CONFESSIONS
Seven of Eleven Captured in
New York Admit
Charges

New York, March 1S.-Seven of the
eleven men gathered in police raids last
night as suspected members of the band
of taxicab robbers that carried out
many bold holdups in the last six months
were identified or made confessions to-
day They were remanded for "a hours
on statements of detectives that all of

by tomorrow that none would find it
worth while to deny his guilt.
Chief among the confessors was Jo-
seph Taylor, who, boasting that he was
the bands leader, made statements that
are expected to result in other arrests.
According to the police, Taylor told of
number of contemplated robberies
Two of these were of postoffice substa-
tions Several others were abandoned
because of the presence of women clerks,
Taylor explaining that his followers had
no desire to raid shops where women
were likely to be victims of an enforced
shooting affray Another prospective
robbery, the police learned, was of a
Fifth avenue jeweler, where one man
was to have smashed the show window
with a brick, grabbed the valuables and
escaped in taxicab while the crowd
was covered by weapons in the hanes
of confederates who planned flight IN
another motor car. This scheme was
abandoned because the robbers feared
women and children in the streets might
be killed.

CARTER CHARGES
ERRONEOUS REPORTS

Arbitration Board Deceived
by Reports During En-

Last Fall

New York, March 1S.-The arbitration
board which decided the controversy be-
tween the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and 81 eastern railroads last
fall stumbled into pitfall' through err
roneous reports made by the railroads to
the interstate commerce commission ae-
cording to w. S. Carter, president of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen. Mr.. Carter made this=state-
ment at today S hearing of the arbitra-
1ion board in the controversy between the
firemen and the railroad over the fire.
mems demands for increased pay, declar-
ing that the railroads reports of men en-
ployed do not cover all classes
only high paid full paid men are re-
ported said Mr. Carter, "and my statis-
tics based on the reports of the railroads
TO the interstate commerce commission
are erroneous because the reports are err
roneous. 1 understand that the engineers
have greatly suffered because their arbi-
tratlon board stumbled into a pitfal-I
won't say a trap-based on the figures
of these reports. | don't want this board
DO fall into any such pitfall.''
Statistics introduced on behalf of the
firemen by W. J. Lanek of Washington,
ID c., were attacked today by representa-
tives of the railroads. When Mr. Luack
was cross examined he said he had OBJ
tained them from reports by the railroads
to the interstate commerce commission.
During the five years between 1907 and
1872, Mr.. Lauck testified the firemen had
been granted only an II per cent increase
in wages. Since 1912 they had received as
q body 3S per cent increase, but this was
based largely upon overtime work he
thought. During the II years. he con-
tinued, the firemen had received less than
per cent increase of the revenue of
the railroads.

NICOLAS ANDRE
DIES IN FRANCE

Dijon, France, March 1S.-General
Louis Joseph Nicolas Andre. former
minister of war, died today.
General Andre was born in 1888. He
was minister of war for several years
prior to 1904 but on November is of that
year he was succeeded by M. Bertaux.
The change in the cabinet was the cul-
mination of fierce assaults upon the ad-
administration of the war office, in the
course of which the chamber of deputies
was the scene of several wild disorders,
including a personal assault on General
Andre. General Andre in his letter OF
resignation asserted that the attacks on
the war office were mere devices of the
enemies of the government to undermine
the republic
