SHOOT
LABOR LEADER
IN A MISTAKE
One of Trio Caught Admits
Being Hired to Do a Man
in the Saloon

Jersey City, Feb. Labor circles
were greatly agitated, today, by the
shooting of Thomas Conroy, former
business agent of the Building Trades
Council of Hudson County, by three
hired thugs in mistake for their in
tended victim.
The shooting occurred, late last
night, in a saloon under the meeting
place of the council The three thugs
entered the saloon and one of them
broke into the group surrounding Con-
roy who was discussing politics, and
cried: you're q liar" Conroy turned
to see who was speaking and the man
whipped out a revolver and fired three
shots. Conroy fell and the gunner
but the third was overpowered. He
told the police his name was Ernest
Wilhaber and gave his address as a
Bowery lodging house. He said he did
not know his two companions except
as kid Dynamite and big Slim. "
They had asked him to help them
do a man for which they were to
did not know it meant murder, he
said.
According to WILMA er's story, Con-
roy was not the man they were after.
He said he did not know the name of
the man they were to get but his
description was something like Con-
roy and he thought his companions
had mistaken the labor leader for
their quarry. He said his companions
had not told him who offered the
money.
Conroy is in hospital with three
bullets in his body and is in a critical
condition.

MASKED BANDIT
CAUSES CLIMAX
OF CRIME WAVE
HOLDS UP EXPRESS TRAIN AND
GETS AWAY WITH FROM $500
TO 500, 900 OF sTOCKYARDS'
sRECEIPTS.

Chicago, Feb. This city is arous-
ed, today, over the climax of the
crime wave that came in the form
of the holdup of an express train in
the center Of the city, last night. Es-
Inmates varying from $4,000 to $780,
600 are given Of the amount taken
from the Adams Express Company's
strongbox. It represented the days
receipts Of the stockyards.
The bandit, with face shrouded in
a blue handkerchief, boarded the
train on the run and obtained the
strongbox key from the guard on
threat of death. He left the car with
the leather bag and ran into the con-
ductor. There was a sharp encounter
in which the conductor was choked-
The conductor recovered enough to
follow with a hail of bullets but with
no effect. Suggestion that Robert
Webb, the auto bandit who is wanted
for murder of a policeman. was the
stick up man is not accepted for
Webb, though daring, was known to
be a weakling. With a, partial des-
cription as a guide, the police are
searching the city
The train was composed only of ex-
press cars and its daily trip to and
from the stockyards was mainly to
carry the days receipts.

NOT
SATISFIED WITH
COMPENSATE
Police interpreter System May
Prove More Satisfactory
Than Present
Method

Agitation has been started which
may result in a change in the present
payment to court interpreters in the
city court, If not in the higher trib-
unals here. While this has always
been a mooted question among the in
terprsters themselves it has recently
been given considerable impetus cw-
ing TO the practice which has lately
arisen OF postponing cases over long
periods OF time.
While Those engaged IN the art of
transporting testimony from one Ian
gGage to another are paid 81 so each
time their services are required, they
are obliged to be in court during each
days session, sometimes to the detri-
ment of other business avocation.
On the other hand it is asserted
that a. much mere satisfactory way
would be to have police interpreters.
ment. This has been tried success
fully in the case of Detective George
Sirnonss who is almost daily sworn
to translate Polish testimony.
In speaking of the matter today,
Leopold Cohn said ct will have been
actively. connected with the court for
twenty-seven years within a month
from this time. 1t is true that while
the pay in individual cases is ade-
auate, yet on the whole it is far from
being equitable. For instance, dur
ing the. pest six weeks. I have had
but two cases upon which was
sworn, netting me IS. yet I have spent
between one and three hours here
d lily, during which time my regular
business has been neglected.
ssFhe fault lies neither with the de-
partment or the lawyers retained by
the prisoners. 1t is simply a case of
where circumstances conspire to re
dIIce the number of cases in which
testimony would be given If tried
when originally brought into court.
Postponement of cases greatly re
dlIces OUT chances of being called into
a case
lit is not known whether a concer-
ted move on the part of the initerpre-
tiers in Bridgeport will be made for
an advance in the rates, but some at
least believe that if larger returns are
not forthcoming other occupations will
prove more remunerative.

By q. miracle Hobson and his COM

air about them and surrendered to the
enemy after having succeeded in their
bold plans.
Since the war Captain Hobson has
been continually before the public In
