and a sawed-off shotgun, two masked
bandits, who robbed nearly 100 men and
women on the Southern PacIhc's crack
coaster flyer, escaped and we're still at
large early today with armed posses on
horseback and in automobiles in hot
search.
The men boarded the observation car

They covered u. ]. Jordan, brakeman,
and while one bandit stood guard at the
rear door the other 10 parlor coach pas

valuables into bag hung about his neck.
Passengers in the nearest day coach
started to run, but were stopped by
threats OF death when the bandits fed.
Forty persons In the next car, including
Conductor c. o. Nichols, were robbed.

LUSITANIA AFFIDAVIT PROBE
LEADS TO GERMAN HEADS
Diplomatic Changes Expected as
Result.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Though no
body would admit today that Captain
Boy-ed, naval attachs at the German
Embassy here, had been connected by
the Justice Department investigation with
the "Lusltania afiidavits," 1t was the
general opinion that changes among the
Kaisers representatives in this country
would be an early result of the inquiry,
Incidentally, there was good authority
for the statement that Ambassador Won
Bernstorff was not suspected of any hand
in the suspected conspiracy to represent
the Lusitania as having carried arms
when it sailed from New York on It's
last voyage.
That a conspiracy. and one OF consid-
cradle proportions, was believed to have
been at least partly uncovered there was
strong evidence, however, and the reports
that German official personages were in
volved In 1t were widespread and circum-
stantal.
Even assuming that such individuals
were proven guilty it was understood
their official status would protect them
from prosecution. The method, 1t was
said would be for the State Department
to intimate automatically to Berlin that
their recall would be appreciated and no
doubt was felt, apparently that the hint
would be acted on quickly.
Justice Department officials were ex-
traordinarily retlcent concerning the
"Lusitania affldavit' case, but there were
many signs that they We're working
furiously on 1t.

 Republican leaders do not like the bill as amended any better than they did the. original measure, although some progressive republicans are inclined to look with more favor on it than for nerly.
 Although the democratic caucus voted to make the bill B party measure, sev- eral democrats who were not present do not feel bound by the rule, and there is a probability that they may offer amendments from tile Senate floor Among the democrats most outspoken against the measure are Senators Var daman, Hardwicll.
