UTAH BANK ROBBED
Cashier Locked i'm Vault, but He Es'
capes-Bandit Is Caught and
Cash Recovered.

Bingham, Utah, Dec. 31-A man
who gives the name of Bert Heasted
held up Cashier Earl Randall, two
men and a boy at the Bingham Ma
tional bank at 3 o'clock today, TOOK
$4,000 in gold and currency, ana
was arrested without resistance soon
afterwards. His quick capture was
due TO the fact that the cashier car
ried a screw driver in his pocket, TO
be used, he said. in case he were held
up and locked in the vault, as was
done with the cashier in another
Utah bank robbery recently, and as
was done with himself today.
Heasted was dressed as a i
and entered the bank without arous-
ing suspicion. He made the three
men and the boy in the bank lie on
the floor, bound them, locked them In
the vault and then took the money.
Randall used his screw driver TO
open the vault from within, and was
able TO escape and give the alarm in
a few minutes. Policeman j. III.
White overlook Heasted, arrested
him without trouble and found all
the money i'm the mans clothing.
Heasted says he came TO Bingham
from Colorado about a month ago.
Another man. who had been observed
with an automobile in readiness Tor
two days past, has been arrested on
suspicion OF having been a conted-
crate OF Heasted.

NATION APPROVESTH
PRESIDENTS PROTEST

Washington, Dec. 31.-An immediate
reply from Great Britain is not ex-
pected by this government to its note
protesting against British interference
with United States commerce.
High government officials do not
expect a reply for two or three weeks.
Delay in the British reply, it was
pointed out. hinges upon two features
the frank character of the protest
and the necessity for great considera.
ton in framing the reply.
The situation Is not considered i'm.
minently critical or urgent.
Delay, however, in transmission of
the note is puzzling President Wilson.
The American note was completed
last Thursday. according to reliable
information. The president personal
ly stated that he thought it was de
livered in London last Saturday. In
stead press dispatches recited that the
note was not turned over to the Brit
ish foreign office until Tuesday.
Strong intention in high official cir.
Giles was evident to back up the Ameri-
can protest. Party lines in congress
were obliterated in the united stand
ing behind the presidents action.
The White House received many let
ters and kilograms enthusiastically
supporting the president for his ac-
ton.

MOTHER PLODS FAR TO CAMP
Trudees Weary Miles to Bring Clothes
to Her Soldier Son.

NenDa.-A story Of a mothers love
for her soldier son Is published In the
Neue Freie Presse. A farmers old
wife suddenly appeared in n OF the
divisions OF troops near the Servian
frontier after many days OF weary
walking from Szegedin along roads
flooded with the rain OF many weeks.
She explained that she bad made the
trip In order TO bring warm wooden
clothing for winter to her eighteen.
year-old son. a volunteer In a Hungar.
rian infantry regiment. She wanted
10 make sure that he received the
clothing.
The woman explained that she had
been stopped countless times. but that
invariably she found good hearted SOL
diers wao forwarded her from regi-
ment TO regiment. Finally. reaching
the regiment In which her son was
serving. she was stopped by the guard.
Her prayers finally brought her before
the commanding officer. who. touched
by this evidence of mother love, sent
for the young soldier. The assembled
officers loaded the woman down with
gifts. Then. satisfied. she returned
home.

with which he bad hoped to cross the
Atlantic, was appointed commander OF
the aerodrome. while Claude Grahame-
White was given a commission as flight
lieutenant In the navy.
The whole scene at Hendon was al
tered. Instead Of walking about In
civilian attire men were now to be seen
In the uniform OF the British navy,
while n detachment of marines formed
an encampment on the fringe of the
great Enclosure and carried out the du.
ties of safeguarding the numerous
aeroplanes and their hangers. As has
been the case In so many other depart
ments of the state, q complete change
took place In the appearance of this
most important adjunct Of British de-
lenses. and thus 1t came about that
George Beatty came upon his great
opportunity.
Grahame- White, finding 1t was nee
essary to devote his first attention to
the training OF pupils for the navy di-
rect. had to look elsewhere for a school
where lay pupils could complete their
flying apprenticeship. No better man
could have been found than Beatty to
take over this surplus from the Ora
hame- White school. and the aspirants
were duly transferred to the Beatty
school. Mr.. Beatty was equal to the
nnaacinn md nxftn IN his claimant He
ut nee took these students In hand
and gave them some good practice on
the biplane. Il machine with two pro
pellers.
The dual control of this type of ma
chine renders the tuition of pupils x
%ceptionally rapid and thorough. Each
lesson occupies about fifteen minutes,
and the student of aviation sits side by
side with his tutor. keenly observing
his every move. The various evolu.
tons In the manipulation of the ma
chine are thus actually felt. as each
movement by the pilot is accompanied
by a corresponding motion on the pu
pirs side of the biplane. becomes trans
ferred and hence necessarily enables
the pupil TO be In sensitive touch with
the motional changes directed by his
master.
Again. the explanations and instruc-
tions are more readily conveyed than

where you do not get In close proximi-
ty. as the pupil and teacher do not sir
side by side. Practice proceeds in
winds up to twenty miles an hour
Mr.. Beatty does not believe in giving
his students experiences on the biplane
only. He also vtilizes the monopiane
for intermediate trials.
Mr.. Beatty is a big favorite with his
pupils.

CAT DOES RECORD STUNTS
Cannonading Starts Feline on Series

London, Dec. 31.-(Correspond-

ing the fight In which the armed liner
Carmania sank the German com
merce destroyer Cape Trafalgar, the
ships cat on the Carmania broke
various worlds record in sprints and
high jumps, writes a member of the
crew to friends in London.
THE old cat didn't seem to know
what to make of it," says the letter.
He was on ordinary occasions a lazy
kind Of a cat, and spent most OF his
time hunting sunny n for sleep.
But when the firing commenced, he
covered the whole ship like a streak,
from forecastel head TO stern, on deck
and below, trying to climb masts and
scramble up the funnel, and every
time a gun was fired, he would jump
up i'm the air as high as the tops OF
the freight booms. II was some time
after the fight before he quoted down
TO his old habits. But we will match
him against any other cat in the
world in his peculiar kind OF attn
