store in an automob le, held up the
three clerks with revolvers. bound
and gagged them, threw the jewe,s
into three suit cases and escaped in
the waiting car.
The first of the three men entered
the store ahead of his companions and
engaged one Of the clerks in CONVEX

came In together and snapped the
spring-loek on the door behind them.
AS If by signal, all three highwaymen
drew their revolvers and covered the
clerks with them. The clerks were
marched to the rear Of the store,
bound and gagged with cord and
handkerch efs, then thrown to the
floor and tied together. In addition
to the jewels the highwaymen took
$40 in cash, but overlooked other
cash In the safe.
About a quarter of an hour elapsed
before one of the clerks freed himself,

the gems This, he thought, was
much higher.

Smoot's Speech Creates Long
Distance Filibuster
Record.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-ThirtY
hours of continuous session in the
Senate and prospects of another all

lines today between the Republicans
and the Democrats fighting over the
administration ship bill
Republicans. disclaiming a fill
buster, were keeping their long dis

call and the foremost parliamentary
sharps of the administration forces
continued their unflinching vigil for
the opportunity to force a fan of tho
vice-president's gavel and put Lh9

The Democrats claimed the neces-
sary votes and the Republicans

reserve to hold the floor two weeks, il
necessary.

"a ans es,air silent.
When Senator LaF'o.lette made his
famous speech against the Aidrich-

eighteen hours and twenty minutes.
he was repeatedly rested by the read

also occasionally relieved by sugges-
tions from other senators that quo

Senator Sutherland. Smoot's col
league, began speech against the
bill after Smoot concluded.
At 9 o'clock. Senator Smoot had
finished his eleventh hour of con-
tinuous speaking and was declining
offers of Republican arrivals for
rest His colleague, Senator Suther-
land, entered the chamber armed
with twelve heavy tones from the
congressional Library, from which
he was prepared to make long legal
argument which would require much
reading from decisions.
Between sentences Senator Smoot
took a breakfast of milk Drought by
colleagues from the Senate cafe, and
said he was not yet tired of speaking.
In the presidents chair sat
Senator Hollis watching for the op-
portunity to drop the gavel and order
the hard fought for roll call, but
down in the seats of the chamber
new Republican sentlneis began ar
irving, fresh and keen from a night
of sleep, their droopine-eyed col
leagues began retiring, the full dress
suits began to disappear and at Aha
same time fresh forces Of Democrats
came on to replace those who nad
kept the battle going through the
night.
Thus the contest became again one
between men fresh in mind anu body.
