robbed of S270e He named three asso-
ciates. for whom the police now are
searching. H -'
This robbery was the first of two dar-
ing hold-ups which brought the police
of Greater New York to their feet with
a shock today. In both cases the vic
tins were robbed in crowded streets and
in the middle of the day.
Kelly made a full confession late to-
night to Deputy Police Commissioner
Rubin and Inspector Faurot-
Succumbing to seven hours of almost
constant questions, Kelly declared the
crime was planned three weeks ago. since
which time the members of the gang
have awaiting a favorable opportunity to
carry out the plan.

r. Barlow and Harold Beck, had drawn
s., coo from the Kings County Trust Com
pany with which to make up the pay
roll. and We're in front of the company's
offices when the two highwaymen made
their appearance. One OF the men
covered Barlow. who was carrying the
money, with a revolver. and ordered him
to drop his burden. The terrified clerk
did so. Mr.. Masury, head of the con-
cern, was looking out of the window or
the Office at the time He made a move
as though to give the alarm. but one of
the robbers pointed his revolver in his
direction, and he was too frightened to
make a move. The only clew the de-
tectives secured was the fact that tho
automobile in which they escaped bore
a New Jersey license tag.

nineteen years old, a messenger boy for
the Corn Exchange National Bank, of

ed when he discovered his loss. An ex-
animation showed that drafts and checks
to the amount of $500 and $50 in cash

it is perfectly proper to begin argu-
ing the case upon the theory that
the Democratic party, as far as Min

to woman suffrage. We recognize
their rights to take such stand, and
doubt if the Republicans will be as
