YOUTHS GET S15,OOO
 FROM CHICAGO BANK
No Clue Found to Identity of Five Bandits-Twenty People Forced
 to Hold Up Hands

Chicago, January 27.-Five youths, all day entered the Washington Park Ma tional bank, forced the 20 officers, en- ployes and patrons to face the wall with their hands in the air, scooped up $15,00O from the tellers cage and escaped in an automobile.
 Although every available policeman and detective was placed on their trail immediately, no clue had been found to- night as to the identity of the bandits.
 Four of the robbers entered the bant with mask over their faces and each carrying two revovers. The fifth re- mained outside in the automobile Three of the bandits forced the officers and 10 patrons to hold up their hands, while one rified the cashiers cage. None of the patrons was searched.
 A. w. McCauley, assistant cashier, Jumped into his automobile, which was standing outside of the bank, and at tempted to follow the robbers, but they quickly outdistanced him.
 J. Garland (Jake) Stahl, former man. ager of the Boston American league team, is vice president of the bank The rob- bers kept revolver pointed at his head
 The bank is in one of the busiest parts of the city outside of the downtown sec- ton.
 Police Lieutenant John Hogan caught sight of the fleeing automobile later and pursued it in his own machine As he was approaching his quarry an automo- bile truck collded with his car, wrecking it and injuring Hogan.

MUNITIONS TRAFFIC IS UP IN THE SENATE Presentation of Petition for
 American Embargo
 Precipitates Row

Washington, January 2I-An outburst of denunciation against shipment of American made war munitions to Euro pean belligerents stirred the Senate to- day, reflecting a revival of sentiment which may force vote upon embargo resolutions that have been pending in committee for several months, A dozen senator's democrats as well as repub- licans, assailed the munitions traffic, while those who have sided with the ad- lnlnistration in it's stand that an em- fbargo would violate international law were for the most part silent.
 A petition for an embargo having more than 100000 signatures precipitated the debate. A test vote at one time seemed inevitable, but it was av-.ted after much parliamentary maneuvering by reference

CROSS-EXAMINATIO
 OF MRS. MOHR SEVERE
Tells of First Break With Her Illus band-Will Probably Be On the
 Stand Two Days Longer

Providence R. l., January 27.-The first serious break in the marital relations of the late Dr. c. Franklin Mohr and his wife, Elizabeth F. Mohr, who is charged with having hired two negroes to kill him, occurred at the time she told her husband of her friendship for man named Samuel A. McDougall, now min ister in Pctou, Nova Scotia. This state ment was elicited from Mrs. Mohhr dur ing severe ross-examination this aft ernoon by Attorney General Rice. Step by step the prosecuting attorney brought out the details of Mrs. Mohr's life. Occa- slonally during the examination she seemed confused as to dates and facts given in her direct testimony and several times broke down and sobbed.
 Mrs. Mohr admitted that she was fooled about her first marriage with the doctor in Brooklyn, but that she re- lied on the word of the doctor and took no other precautions.
 She denied that she had lived with the marriage. When the doctor told her, she said that she would have trouble in proving that they were legally married, as she could not produce the certificate and that the man who performed the ceremony was dead, she decided not to live with him another day until there was another ceremony.
 Where was it that you really went through a ceremony?a MT. Rice asked.
 Mrs. Mohr sobbed so that it was some time before she could answer. She finally replied that she and the doctor were married at Lynn Mass, on May 24, 1909. The doctor thought it would be best, she said, on account of the children.
 Before court adjourned Justice Stearns announced that contrary to custom, a session would be held Saturday morning and perhaps on Saturday afternoon.
 It was said that Mrs. Mohr probably would be on the stand for two days more.

Delegation Brings This News to Washington. Is Viewed As a
 Calamity
ASK ADDITIONAL
 MONEY FOR THE BAY
More Concerned for This Than In Securing Proposed Naval Base. Could Deepen Channel Three
 Feet In Forty Days
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January 27.--(Special) In opposing the plans of the city com mission of Mobile to attach a charge of from 10 to 15 cents per ton on up- river freight passing through that city. Frederick I. Thompson, editor of the Mobile Register, admitted this after noon to the correspondent of The Age Herald that he was in a hopeless mi nority
 MT. Thompson headed a Mobile dele gation which conferred today with the Alabama congressional delegation rel ative to an embryonic plan of secur- ing an increase of $1o0,O00 per an- mum in the standing appropriation of $l0eOO0 for maintenance of the Mo delegation were A. J. Parsons, J. H. Cochrane, Jr., and Harry Turner
 The was apparently the consensus of opinion of the Mobile delegation that Alabama or the gentle insinuations of ilCihptIS Ol 1OHS STeSS IIdC MOD1le, dc- sirous herself of certain governmental aid, is failing to cooperate in the prof. ects of other cities and sections of the state, the city commission would carry out it's plan.
 MT. Turner expressed the conviction that the tax to be imposed would be inconsiderable from the standpoint of the shipper and the total collection from this source would scarcely rep resent one per cent of the cost of maintaining wharfage and protecting shipments. It was his opinion that in asmuch as the proposed tax would be something of guarantee to the ship per in the protection of his goods that the shipper should not register a kick
 Senator Bankhead and other mem bers of the delegation who have la bored unceasingly for river develop ment in Alabama regard the Mobile plan as calamitous. They are fearful that the new burden will throw a damper on river transportation which has been gathering momentum day by day.
 The Mobile visitors were apparently lHOTe COuCeTIleu Wltn securing aQQ1t1On- al appropriation for Mobile bay than with the location in Mobile of the pro- posed naval base. It was pointed out to the congressional delegation that with a doubled appropriation the bay could be maintained as at present and increased from 27 to 30, feet In depth.
 The members of Congress discussed methods whereby the government might be induced to grant the request of Mobile and still adhere to it's ex- pressed purpose of denying revenue this session for any new project. The Mobile visitors made it plain that they would be prepared to show to the gov ernment that it would be advanta- geous from the standpoint of the gov ernment to locate shipbuilding and repairing plant in Mobile-in the event the plant is provided for
 MT. Parsons in the speech to com mittee caused surprise when he. de- clared that the depth of the bay, if additional appropriation be made, can be increased from 27 to 30 feet in 40 days. He pointed out that with depth of 30 feet the bay could accommodate any vessel in the navy of the United States and would in the event of war prove an excellent harbor or refuge or retreat.

DAY IS MARKED BY HEAVY FIGHTING ON
 THE WESTERN FRONT
Claims to Have StOrmed 800 Yards of French Trenches Near Neuville-Artil-
 lery Is Active

London, January N.-Considerable fight ing has been taking place along the en- tire French front. Berlin asserts that be- tween 800 and 500 yards of French trenches were stormed by the Germans in the vii cinity of Neuville and that French coun- ter attacks were without result.
 In this region, the French assert the Germans were driven from the mine era ters they had occupied and were repulsed in trying to recapture them, while the British report the progressive occupa- ton by their men of mine craters and German listening posts in the Neuville region.
 Paris announces also that German trenches in Belgium and 10 the north of the Aisne have been badly hammered by the French guns and that the Germans suffered serious losses in a fight for a mine crater in the Argonne forest.
 While considerable fighting has been going on along the Russian front from Riga into East Galica, no important re- suits have been attained by either side.

Bristol January 27.-The apparently contradictory votes at the labor con ference today condemning conscription and declining to agitate for the repeal of the measure resulted from the labor mems determination to display their un- f1inching opposition to mlitarism and their desire at the same time not to embarrass the government in the prose- cution of the war.
 These views were given expression in the speeches of the leaders, even those supporting the governments compul- sion scheme, such as Arthur Henderson, president of the board of education, George Henry Roberts. member of Par lament for Norwich. and Will Thorne, social democrat.

Washington, January 27.-There was no indication tonight that the United States government would consider any action necessary in the case of the two American soldiers captured yesterday by armed Mexicans near Brownsville. Tex, and returned unharmed 10 their com mands today other than to investigate the ii cident and probably courtmartial Lieu tenants Peyton, Mort and Waldron, the officers who led the detachment of sol diers into Mexican territory to rescue their captured comrades
 Secretary Garrison said positive orders had been given every officer ,n the army not to cross the boundary without spe- cifio instructions from Washington. Should the investigation ordered by Major violated this order, it was said they un- doubtedly would be courtmartialed and probably held responsible for the death of the four soldiers, members of the res cue party who were drowned in the Rio Grande while returning from their expedi- ton.
 The prompt action taken by Carranza military authorities in returning the two soldiers was regarded by state depart ment officials as indicative of their de- sire to prove their innocence and to dis play their good will toward this country.

WARMLY GREETED
 ALL DURING DAY

The President at both banquets and all during his days visit to New York was greeted with enthusiasm. On his ride between the hotels where the ban quets were held tonight he was es- corted by a band and the Ninth com mand of coast artillery of the New York National Guard. Thousands of persons packed the streets and cheered him as he went by.
 During his speech before nearly 1900 business men at the railway banquet, where he cast aside almost entirely the text of the address that he had previously prepared for delivery there, he was frequently interrupted by ap- plause.
 The President admitted that in message to the last Congress he had said the need for preparedness was not pressing. He declared that he had learned something in the meantime. He cited his recent support of tariff commission as another instance of change on his part, but declared that previously there was no need for such a commission. The business men en- thusiastically cheered his support of the commission.
 MT Wilson spoke of men of high character who were clouding the pre- paredness issue. He declared they were

TO CONSULT ALLIES

lO SOlN
 With the text of the American note was made public Great Britains ad in terim reply, saying that questions of principle raised by the United States have made it necessary for Great Britain to consult her allies before answering finally and indicating that there will be no un- necessary delay in the negotiations.
 The American note is in the form of a memorandum to Ambassador Page at London, instructing him to file formal and vigorous protest" It is dated Jan uary and textually is as follows:
 Department advised that British cus- toms authorities removed from Danish steamer Oscar II 734 bags parcel mail en route from United States to Norway, Sweden and Denmark; that British port authorities have removed from Swedish steamer Stockholm 5S bags parcel mail en route Gothenburg, Sweden, to New York; that 5000 packages of merchandise, Amer ican property, have been seized by Brit ish authorities on the Danish steamer United States on her last trip to the United States; that customs authorities at Kirkwall, on December 1S seized 597 bags of parcel mail from steamer Fred erich VIII manifested for Norway Swe- den and Denmark. Other similar cases might be mentioned, such as that of the steamer Helig Olav
 Department inclined to regard parcel post articles as subject to same treatment as articles sent as express or freight in respect to belligerent search, seizure and condemnation On the other hand, parcel port articles are entitled to the usual eX- emptions of neutral trade and the pro- tests of the government of the United States in regard to what constitutes the unlawful bringing in of ships for search in port, the illegality of so-called block ade by Great Britain and the improper assumption of Jurisdiction of vessels and cargoes apply to commerce using parcel post service for the transmission of com modities. Please bring this matter of parcel post formally to the attention of the British government
 CONSULAR POUCHES TAKEN
 The department is further informed that on December 23 the entire mails, in cluding sealed mails and presumably the American diplomatic and consular pouches rom the United States to The Nether-
