Freight Crew Compelled
to Stand Covered by
Guns as Car Is Looted.
DETECTIVES START
RUNNING PISTOL DUEL
Thieves Drop Plunder in Battle
and Flee in Machine
Toward Paterson.

Five auto bandits with drawn guns
held up a west bound freight train on
the Bergen County short cut of .he
Erie Railroad at Glen Rock, n. j., last
night. Compelling the crew to stand
with "hsnds up" they broke open emo
car and rolled two valuable bales Of
raw silk to the ground Their plan
TO get away with the silk was inter
rupted by the arrival of three Erie
detectives, who engaged them in a run
ming gun fight.
More than twenty shots were ex-
changed as the robbers ran across
fields to waiting automobile and dis
appeared In the direction Of Paterson.
No one was injured by the gun play.
In their haste to get away, the bandits
left the silk beside the railroad
This second revival of Jesse James
methods in robbng freight trains
within a few days has aroused the
railroad police forces to unusual ac-
tivitv. Automobile bandits as yet un-
captured held up West Shore freight
near the tunnel at Congers Monday
night. making away with several pack
ages and boxes taken from the cars.
According 10 Chief of Police Martin
Johnston. of Glen Rock, the machine
used by the five bandits last night was
a seven-passenger brown Rambler. with
the license number ~. Y. l7600." At
local Headquarters this machine is reg
istered in the name of John II. Watkin,
Of Mount Kisco, y. Y. Detectives have
been assigned to watch for the auto
mobile at the various ferries.
The freight train, which is known as
No. 81, travelling at fair speed through
the Bergen Cut, was approaching a
crossing near Glen Rock station, when
the airbrakes were jammed down. The
police are convinced that two OF the
robbers were riding on the freight and
that they were familiar with airbrakes.
When members of the train crew ran
back 10 see what was the matter with
the brakes they were confronted by five
men. each with his hat pulled down
over his eyes, and each armed with
revolver. None of the men wore
masks. Leaving two men 20 cover the
crew, the other three went TO the car
which .hey apparently knew contained
the silk, broke open the lock and threw
two bales 10 the ground.
They were about TO carry their loot
70 the automobile. when the Erie detec-
tives appeared. Chief Johnston heard
the shots and had men at the. scene a
few minutes after the bandits fed. The
Paterson and New York police were
notified, and a general alarm was sent
out. giving a description Of the auto
mobile.
Several hundred feet above the scene
Of last nights hold-up an Erie train
was robbed in a similar manner OF a
case of cutlery year ago. The bandits
were never captured.

short time. It Is an aerial torpedo ana
,ha mon who have worked out the idea
ara Elmer A. Sperry, president Of the
sperry Gyroscope Company, OF BROOK
,vn and his son. Lawrence b. Sperry'
Particulars of the newest and most
destructive engine OF death and the
reults of various tests were gwen me
to-day by Lawrence B. Sperry, VINO Is

ness the Sperry concern is dong Win

What the plan amounts to IS tnis'
An aeroplane, complete with the excep-
ton of landing gear, Is constructed ana
fitted with gyroscopic compass and
stabilizer. The torpedo, bearing any
where from five hundred pounds to fve
tame Of tri-nitro- tolumine, Is set IN

compass will insure true course. 9,
TIE stabilizer can be so set and
oanoed that the plane will rise at any
angle. At whatever height the adj ust-
n,ent Of the stabilizer calls for. the
machine will automatically assume
horizontal course, fly a predetermined
distance along that course, and tnen
descend at the desired angle. The ma
chine can be made TO take perpendlc-
uIar drop over a certain point. II can
he launched from a battleship as well
as from the land.
For example. if a torpedo were to be
discharged from a British vessel nfty
miles from the Kiel Canal, the load OF
high explosive could be sent unerring-
Iv among the vessels of the German
6eat there, and the only possibility OF
defence would be the exploding OF the
bomb in the air by gunfire. II the at
tack were made at night, even that pos
sibility would be remote.
Great Accuracy Possible.

"How about the East Side 2" was the
question asked of Tribune Investigators
in other parts Of the city. To answer
this, Tribune reporters stormed the
much debated territory yesterday
A poll Of workers, shopkeepers and
of the East Side showed
an astonishing sentiment for suffrage
stronger. indeed, than in any classes
yet polled. Four out of five voters
polled declared in favor Of the amend
ment. Of 26S shopkeepers, clerks
workers in the needle and allied trades
LAWYERS, physicians, and both skilled
and unskilled workingmen, 222 voted for
woman suffrage, S2 against and Id un-
decided.
In the poll Of labor taken the vote
was cast almost solidly for the amend
ment. The Jewish labor vote approx
mates about two-thirds of the regular
vote, il was estimated yesterday
by Abraham Shiplakoff, secretary of the
United Hebrew Trades. A canvass OF
1O6 workingmen by Tribune reporter
last night showed that "a were in ia

Aerial Torpedo Is Guided

Tons of Exposive-Compass and Stabilizer
Insure Great Accuracy.

with his device: One hundred miles,
miles; fifty miles, 2.3 miles; twenty
miles, 0.8 mile; ten miles, 0.3 mile.
Thus, if a torpedo were discharged
against fortitication or city hundred
miles distant. IL could not diverge from
its course enough TO carry il more than
eight miles wide of its mark. II set TO
land in the very heart of Berlin, for in
stance, it would explode within eight
miles of that point. But, on the other
hand, it might, and probably would,
speed directly TO its mark. And so on
down, until torpedo fired to explode
at a point ten miles away would not
vary more than three-tenths Of a mile.
The principle is the same as that ap-
piled in the Sperry plan for the control
of marine torpedoes. A recent test was
made in San Francisco harbor with a
torpedo minus the war head, and the
missile, equipped with a gyroscopic com.
pass, was sent ten miles from shore and
returned 70 within few feet of its
starting point, showing the accurate
control lent by the compass.
Every warship of the British navy,
as we'll as every submarine, is htted
with Sperry compasses and stabilizers,
as are the vessels Of the United States.
cording 10 Mr.. Sperry, the German gov
eminent bought one compass and pro-
ceeded TO appropriate the idea, claim
ing that the Sperry instrument was an
infringement of a patent already owned
by Germany. He also called attention
70 the fact that an American never had
won a patent suit in Germany. There
