Officer Finds Victims
When Still Alarm Is

With unusual daring two bandits,
at midnight Friday. bound and gag.

and bills. In the corridor OF the

Until late Saturday morning no ar
rest had been made. Detectives
Stephen Martin and John Smith are
investigating. and expect TO make
important arrests before evening.
II is the opinion OF the police that
the robbers were acquainted with the
manner In which the theater man
ager handled the money at night.
Frank Bledsoe. OF No. 500 Lafay-

in the Breitmeyer building. told the
police that shortly after IL o'clock
two men came TO the door Of the
building and knocked.
He said IL was against the rules
10 allow anyone in the building at
that hour. AS he opened the door
TO question them. one OF the men
pushed him aside, and said: "Dr.
Bailey is with us and We are going
up 10 his Office"
Bledsoe followed them 10 the sec

grabbed him by the throat One or
the men gagged him with bandana
handkerchief while the other tied
bis hands and feet. They pushed
him into one OF the Offices, and went
downstairs, where they waited for

from the theater across the street.
when Rowland entered the hall

Conditions Are Differ.
ent From Those In
Rublee Case
NOT PERSONALLY
OBJECTIONABLE
Supreme Court NOmi-
nation Up For Vote,
Wednesday
From a staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON. May 2o.-Be-
cause the senate judiciary commit
tee has decided 10 vote next Wed
nesday on the question OF reporting
10 the senate the nomination OF
Louis ID. Brandeis for the United
States supreme court. speculation is
rife as 10 whether this appointee is
to be rejected as was George Rub
lee, OF New Hampshire. one OF the
memb ers OF the federal trade COM
mission. Comparatively few close
students OF political events In Wash
ington believe that Brandeis will be
rejected. owing 10 two distinct diff
terences between the Rublee and
Brandeis cases.
In the Rublee case. Senator Gal
linger objected to the confirmation
OF the presidents nominee on the
ground that Rublee was personally
Objectionable 10 him. Senatorial
courtesy almost always has made
possible the rejection OF a nomina-
ton on this ground. Senator Mar
tine. OF New Jersey, who objected
TO the confirmation of nominee in
his state on that ground. was sup
ported by Senator Gallinger. Sen.
ator O'Gorman. OF New York. was
supported similarly when the presi.
dent maze a nomination that dis
pleased him. These senators In turn
supported Senator Gallinger In his
night. No senator has objected 10
Brandeis on the ground that he Is
personally Objectionable
The second point in the Rublee
case. which does not exist in the
Brandeis case, Is that of politics.
Under the terms of the federal
trade commission law. the president
was authorized TO appoint the Ave
members, provision being made that
not more than three should be from
one political party. The president
provoked great criticism because he
did not appoint any Republican. He
selected three straight-out Demo
Gratis and two Progressives. one OF
them being Rublee Senator Gal.
linger con,ended that Rublee was in
reality Democrat. making four
members OF that party. instead OF
the three authorized BY law. As
nroag ~ bic combination ho cttad tha
fact that Rublee advocated the cleo.
ton OF the Democratic nominee for
the senate as against Gallinger dur.
ing the latter's recent successful
race for reelection.
There are comparatively few sen
| ators, even among those opposed TO
the nomination OF Brandeis for the
supreme court. who believe he will
fail OF nomination II II reaches a
vote In the senate. They realize
that the only way he can be kept
or the bench Is 10 flibuster against
| his nomination. II Is possible that
when the judiciary committee, which
has been investigating the charges
| against Brandeis. votes on his now
ination next Wednesday, II will lie.
eide 10 report II without any rec
ommendation.
II In known that there are a,
least five Republican senators-La
Toilette, OF Wisconsin; Poindexter
OF Washington; Norris. OF Nebras
ka; Clapp, OF Minnesota, and Ster.
ling, Of South Dakoto--who will vote
for the conhi nation OF Brandeis.
To reject him under such condi.
lions, IL Democratic senators would
have TO vote against the nomination
sent in by President Wilson.
