WORK OF ROBBER GANG
Officials Believe Wymore Yeggs Blew
Bennington Postoffice Safe.

Salina, Kan, Oct. 3.-Were the
Bennington and Longford postoffice
robberies the work of the old Wymore,
Neb., gang, which terrorized Kansas
banks and postoffices for years ?
Postoffice inspectors and county Of
ficials who are working on the case
believe that it is and are after the
members of the old gang, which was
supposed to have been dispersed after
the expose of the Callahan gang in
Wichita several years ago.
The only clue as to the robbers that
has been found SO far is that they came
in motor cars and were experts in the
use of nitro-glycerine and high eX-
plosives.
The neatness with which the job
was executed in both robberies is one
thing that leads to the belief that the
members of the Wymore gang are to-
gether and operating in this territory
again. The gang at one time had
some of the most expert "soup men,"
as nitro -glycerine yeggs are called in
the underworld lingo, that have ever
blown a safe. The cracks around the
doors of the safe are covered with soft
soap, the safe wrapped in blankets
and the charge exploded by fuse
An expert can take the door off a
safe as clean as if it were done in a

WOMEN! HERE'S ONE

Dry cleaning at home is just as

clean five dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gasoline,
where it quickly dissolves. Then i'm
merse articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in a few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists,
dresses, coats, ribbons. kid gloves,
stain shoes, evening slippers, shawls,
belts, yokes, furs. boas, muffs, neck
ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses,
draperies, fine laces, lace curtains,
wooden garments, in fact, any and ev-
erything that would be ruined by soap
and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade, shrink, or wrinkle, making
pressing unnecessary.

Truth Society a Fake?
Asbury Park, n. j., Oct. 3.-Presi-
dent Wilson. in answer to the criti-
cism directed at him by the America n
Truth society and its president, Jere-
miah A O'Leary, taxes the ground
that the organization is a fake insti-
tuition.
1t can be stated with authority
that this characterization of the
society was made at the time the presi-
dents reply to Mr. O'Leary's original
telegram criticising the chief execu-
tive's alleged pro-British policies was
made public.
In that message Mr.. Wilson told Mr..
O'Leary he would feel very much ag-
~
like him voted for him.
1t cannot be charged that this ap-
parent political indiscretion which
threatens to eliminate a sufficient
number of votes from the Democratic
party to make defeat certain in Mo-
vember was committed by a lieuten-
ant.
Mr.. Wilson was present when the
O'Leary telegram and the reply were
made public. His declaration that the
American Truth society was fake or
President Indignant.
On what Mr.. Wilson based his opin-
ion of the society of which Mr.. O'Leary
happens to be the president, was not
stated. He appeared to be indignant
that a message such rs Mr.. O'Leary
had sent him should have been de-
livered to the president of the United
States.
The impression given by the presi-
dent to newspaper men present when
the incident occurred was that Mr.
Wilson considered Mr.. O'Leary a mis-
chief maker in politics. 3
1t is not a breach of confidence to
state these facts. They are related
herein to enable the public to view the
controversy in a correct light. The
incident occurred when the corre-
Spondents assigned to cover the news
at the summer White House were in
vited to Shadow Lawn last Friday for
their first conference with the presi-
dent.
The purpose of the conference was
to permit the newspaper men to get
at first hand Mr.. Wilson's campaign
plans and his views on public ques-

tions mentioned in the campaign being
waged by the Republicans
Wilson's Plans.
The correspondents did not know of
the existence of the O'Leary telegram
until the conference was interrupted
by Secretary Tumulty to make the dis
tribution of the typewriter copies of
the O'Leary message and Mr. Wilson's
answer.
Mr.. O'Leary's singing retort to the
presidents reply was ignored here. 1t
is said, however, that a number of
messages have been received at the
executive office approving Mr.. Will
sons course in denouncing OLeary's
criticisms A plan to make public
these communications has been taken
under consideration.
individuals in constant communica-
ton with Mr.. Wilson assert that before
making his speech at Shadow Lawn
he realized he must win without the
backing of the German vote or
the financial interests. Plainly, they
say, he has set out to gain any ad-
vantage that may be obtained by
denying these factions
