TWO MEN ATTEMPT
HOLDUP IN SHOE
ST0REAT ADAMS
One Hit Proprietor With Piece of
Iron Pipe
POLICE CATCH ONE ROBBER
Said His Name was Charles Hawes
and That He Came to Adams
for Easy Money"

Excitement was caused in Adams
last night when two men, one of
whom is now under arrest, went into
the little shoe store of Jacob Gold
berg, ON Park street near the Boston
and Albany railroad tracks and at
tempted to rob him. One of the men
asked for a pair OF shoes and when
Mr.. Goldberg turned to the shelf he
was struck on the head with piece
of galvanized iron water pipe about
a foot long and his scalp was badly
torn. He was staggered by the blow
but did not lose consciousness and
began to shout for the police
The two hold-up men rushed out of
the store and down the track. Mr..
Goldberg, with blood streaming down
his face, gave chase as far as the
Adams depot, about $50 yards in a
northerly direction from the store.
Meanwhile Officer John Thompson
learned from an excited girl what
had happened and he joined in the
chase. The would-be robbers separ-
dbtu at Allt k0NuOVl 0tiCCI AAConlnto
and one ran north on Columbia street
while the other went north on the
railroad track as far as Hoosac street
and then easterly toward the noun
tains. 1t was the latter man that Of
ficer Thompson saw and followed.
The officer summoned several citiz-
ems to help in the chase and among
them was man with his automobile.
This helped to get the officer closer
to his man but the robber had taken
opposite the old Anthony homestead.
A part of the woods was surround
ed by the officer and number of the
men who were assisting him. and
finally the officer saw the man dart
out of some bushes and across the
pasture. He called to him to stop
and when the man did not do so Of
ficer Thompson fred shot. 1t whiz-
zed uncomfortably close to the run
ner and the man turned at once and
threw up his hands.
At the police station, Mr, Goldberg
who had his head bandaged by DR.. J.
]. Mahady, identified the man under
arrest as one of his two assailants.
The man gave the name of Charles
Hawes, 10, and said that he had been
employed by George Thatcher of
Florida mountain, He said that he
had come from the farm with Mr..
Thatcher to North Adams and was
induced by man from North Adams
to go down to Adams. His compan-
ion. lie said, knew how to get some
"easy money" Hawes alleged that
he demonstrated with his companion
when the latter found the piece Of
the waterpipe under Center street
bridge in Adams and slipped it up his
aleeye before they went into the
shoe store Hawes claimed that his
companion struck Mr., Goldberg and
when Mr.. Goldberg shouted both
were frightened and ran. Mr.. Gold
berg is known as a successful busi,
ness man and often carries a large
roll of bills.

eorah Gets the Idaho Suffrage" Vote

6orah Gets the Idaho Suffrage" Vote
Senator Borah, speaking from his
own experience on the suffrage ques-
ton, hit one nail squarely on the
head. Read the last sentence of the
following paragraph carefully: then
ask yourself if it is not SO. and if
it is so. what is the reason?
You may argue until doomsday
that women are no better than men,
and have no higher ideals and will
vote about the same way. yet a politi-
cal gathering will inevitably act up
on the theory that it is not safe to re-
ly upon the women to condone a
wrong or ratify a questionable trans
action. And permit me here to say
in this connection that while as good
women as live are sincerely opposed
to suffrage, and while men disnteres
ted and patriotic are opposed to suf-
frage and most sincerely so, yet it is.
nevertheless true, that every evil and
vicious influence in politics is oppos-
ed to woman suffrage. -Brattleboro

Summoned by King to Meet Eady
Next Week
RIOTING THROUGHOUT KINGDOM
Members of the War Party Destroy.
ing Property Of Those Who Ad-
vocate Peace.

Rome, May 15.-The situation in
Italy grows more serious. 1t Is re-
ported today that the Italian parlia-
ment will be summoned by the king
to meet next week to avert civil war.
Rioting is in progress in all tho
cities and in many villages and coun-
try districts. The advocates Of war
against Austria are in the majority
and are destroying the property OF
neutrals and of Italian citizens who
are opposed to war.
The whole city is IN state Of
ebullition. The shops were closed,
flags were hoisted at half-mast as
sign of protest against the Govern
me- s action, and the theatres had
been requested to suspend their per-
formances, except the CONSTANT The
atre, where a play was given in hon
or of Gabrielle D'Announzio. The
poet was present and made an ad-
dress of anti-Austrian character.
The entire garrison has been
brought out to protect the most
threatened points in the city. such as
the streets where the Austrian and
German Embassies and Consulates
are situated and the Villa Malta, the
home of Former Premier Giolitti.
The city was divided into four mill
tary zones and the keeping of order
was intrusted to the military authori-
tiac

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago All Of these
types can be helped absolutely by ap-
plying some good liniment that pene-
trates. An application of Sloan :.
Liniment two or three times day to
the affected part will give instant re-
lief. Sloans Liniment is good for
pain, anu especially Rheumatic Pain,
because it penetrates to the seat of
the trouble, soothes the afflicted part
and draws the pain. "Sloan's Lini-
ment is all medicine" Get 25c
bottle now. Keep it handy in case
of emergency.

Washington, May lit was an

The note was transmitted to Am

is supposed that it has been delayed
by the disorders in that country and
the congestion of the wires there.
1t is believed, however that the
letter will reach Ambassador Gerard

pedo was followed Immediately by q
further explosion of extremely strong
effect. The ship quickly listed to
starboard and began to sink. The
second explosion must be traced
back to the ignition of quantities OF
ammunition inside the Ship
New York, May 15.--This report of
the German admiral agrees with the
testimony of Captain Turner of the
Lusitania at the inquest that so far
as he observed only one torpedo
struck the ship. The second and fa-
tai explosion was either the boiler Of
the ship, or ammunition, chemicals
or other explosives on board.
The experience of other ships has
shown that torpedo wound is not
quickly fatal even to steamers OF
small size. Had there been no ex-
plosion save that of the torpedo tho
Lusitana would doubtless have re-
mained afloat for several hours and
not life would have been lost.

Petrograd, May 1.-THE following
official communication was received
this evening:
In the region of Shawl the fighting
is developing under conditions favor
able to us. Yesterday we took more
than 1000 German prisoners and cap
tured nine machine guns.
In Western Galicia the intensity of
the fighting lessened on May 10. Our
troops are concentrating gradually on
the line of the River San with the
object of occupying shorter front.
The Austrian army evacuated on
the 18th strongly fortified position
extending from the Bistritza River to
the Rumanian frontier, in length 140'
versts (about ninety-four miles,, and
fell back precipitately on the 18th be-
yond the River Pruth. The enemy's
cavalry, which was sacrificed in re-
peated charges to protect the general
retreat was dispersed by our fire.
The San river, which is now the
Russian line starts in the Carpathian
mountains near Uzsok Pass and
flows winding course northward in
TO the Vistula. 1t is not a large
river The Austrian fortress of
Przemysl recently captured by the
Russians is on the eastern bank of
the San river.
The River Dneister, starting in the
Carpathians only a short distance
from the sources of the San flows
north a short distance and then
turns southeast and enters the Black
sea. just south of Odessa. 1t is a
small stream in the war area but
further east receives many tributar-
les and becomes great river.
The watershed between the Dan
ube and the Black sea on the south
and the Vistula, Niemen and other
rivers flowing into the Baltic is the
high ground between the San and
the Dniester thus making the San a
natural line of defense for Russia at
