SAID TO REACH $26O,O00
Entire Consignment of Paper Cur
rency to New Orleans Bank Taken
in Birmingham Hold-up.

Birmingham. Ala, Feb. 1.-Two hun
bred and sixty thousand dollars is the
amount OF money obtained by bandits
who held up the New Orleans flyer on
the Queen and Crescent Railroad near
Birmingham Thursday night. according
to a special agent OF that road today.
The money taken was large shipment
of 500 bills consigned to a New Orleans
bank from New York.
Although the police say the robbers
are in birmingham. no arrests have been
made The most promising clew is the
fact that a chauffeur Of a local taxicab
company is missing. He was absent with
his car during the hours the robbery was
committed and his absence has not been
explained.

one questions for a single moment the

amendment by small majority, but
