2,Coo-Hid in Basement
During the Night.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. A lone
highwayman held UP and robbed tho
Cedar Rapids National Bank here at
seven o'clock this morning Of $4,000
and escaped.
When Cashier Leon Perrin entered
tie bank at seven O'Clock to go to
the vault and send out his shipments
of money to smaller Iowa banks, he
was confronted by masked highway
man who with a revolver forced him
to open the vault and allow him ac-
cess to the currency.
The robbcr put $4,000 in currency
in his pockets. At just that time the
lights went out and the robber be
came frightened, and failed to secure
$4,000 more in the vault.
He locked Perrin in the vault and
escaped. Perrin vas released by an
other bank cmpIOyc at 1880.
Bank officials think the rObber hid
in the basement OF the bank during
the night and entered the bank short
ly after daylight and awaited the ar
rival of Perrin to force him to open
the vault.
Cashier Perrin, after he had told
his story of the robbery to the police,
collapsed and was taken to Mercy
hospital for treatment and reporters
were denied access to him. Perrin
told the police that the robber was
young, of erect carriage, square
shoulders, and wore a long OYCrCoat
with many pockets in which he
stuffed the currency from the vault.
Perrin entered the bank through the
rear door today as usual ard did not
see the robber until he had opened
the outer door of the vault. He says
there were between fifty and sixty
| thousand dollars in the bank and the
rObbcr could have secured nearly all
of it had he not become frightened
when the lights went out. When
/ the rObber rushed at him with a re

OPPOSES S. OF U. ADMISSION
Col. Palmer Commander In Chief of
G. A. r. Says the Majority
Is Against 1t.

Des Moines, Aug 4.-CoI. D. J. Pal.
mer, commander in chief of the G. A,
r. in his annual report to be read at
the national encampment at Wash
ington, d. c., Sept. q to Oct. 2, will
not recommend that sons of veterans
be admitted TO membership in the
Grand Army, as requested by the de-
partments of Oklahoma. He takes the
position that the G. A. r. should die
with the passing of the last civil war
veteran.
The matter has been up at prev
ious enCampments and has been re.
jected," said Colonel Palmer. Il think
the vast majority of civil war yeter-
ans prefer the G. A. r. go out of eX-
istence when the last veteran of that
war dies"
Colonel Palmer will not make any
important recommendations at the
encampment, he says.
Speaking of the European war sit
uation, Colonel Palmer gave Captain
Watrous of Des Moines credit for pre-
dieting the war which now involves
the main countries of Europe,
About three years ago Captain
WatrOus made an address before the
Loyal Legion in Dcs Moines, in which
he stated Germany was preparing for
war and would soon strike" said
Colonel Palmer. He had just visited
Germany and he told us about the
military activities and the storing
away of vast quantities of munitions
We did not take the talk seriously
then because we were talking about
world peace and thought that soon
all nations would be throwing their
guns away"

BRITISH SEEK U. S. WORKERS
Are offered Free Transportation Both
Ways and in Addition a Six
Months Contract.

Chicago, Aug. Am advertise
ment in a Chicago newspaper offers
employment to mechanics on govern
ment work in England. The men are
offered free transportation both ways
with a six months contract. The ad-
vertisement was interpreted by some
as the first move in the transporta-
ton of American mechanics direct to
British factories instead of purchas-
ing the output of their work from
American manufacturers at great cost
and at the risk of getting it destroyed
by German submarines.
Horace D. Nugent consul in Chi
cago for Great Britain, said:
Various rumors have come to us
but we do not believe anybody is
qualified to engage men here for gov
eminent work I have read the adj

Rack Ordered Removed.

Sigourney, Aug. 4.-According to
an order made by the city council of
Sigourney, the old hitching rack
around the public square is to be re-
moved in the near future. This hitch
ing rack is, perhaps, the oldest land
mark in the city, having been erected
in 1856, about the time the first court
house was built in Sigourney. Dur
ing all these years the hitching rack
has been maintained and kept in re-
pairs by the county, as the county
claims to be. the owner of the block
of ground on which the present court
house Is located 1t is not unlikely
that legal proceedings will be insti
tuted to restrain the removal of the
rack whenever the time comes to
take action and may result in several
years of litigation to settle the mat
