For Robbery of Bank

CHICAGO, Jan. SO,-Four men accused
of robblng the Washington Park National
bank OF $4,000. were indicted yesterday on
six counts, after Eddie Mack, confessed
leader of the quintet OF robbers, had told
the grand jury OF the story of the rob-
berry. Mack. himself, was not indicted.
The states attorney said he would not
prosecute, IF he kept his promise to
leave the country after testifying in the
trials of the indicted mem"
Mack, the states attorney said, had
made allegations that fifteen Chicago
policemen had protected criminals, and
that criminals had been imported into
Chicago from New York to discredit the
police department heads. The allega-
tons, said the states attorney, were be-
ing investigated.
The four indicted men were ali said
to have come from New York. They
are Alex Brodie. Harry Kramer, Charles

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-While
President Wilson is carrying to the
country his appeal for adequate ma
tional defense. one OF the vital Gle
ments of the program he has recon-
mended to congress, the continental
army, faces serious opposition in
both the senate and house military
committees.
Such an army, described by secre-
tary Garrison, as embodying the
most attractive scheme that could be
devised to give a national test of the
problem OF training an adequate
number of federal volunteers In
peace times, would be expected TO
provide 100000 men of the total OF
approximately 100000 which the
entire plan is calculated to make

to satisfy themselves that either con-
gross or the country was prepared for
such radical change in policy.

Some members of the house military

are acting on the theory that some such

So far as the navy is concerned, there
has been little ON which to Judge the
feeling OF the house committee. but It
