CnlcagO. Jan. 70. - SIX 1nUlct.
ments charging robbery were re-
turned today against four of the
men accused of robbing the Wash.
ington Park National bank of $l5,-
900 in a spectacular hOldup Thurs
day morning.
No Indictment was returned
against the fifth man, Eddie Mack,
who the police say was the leader
of the robbers, and from whom a
complete confession was obtained.
criminals are being brought from New
York and other cities to commit crimes
in Chicago for the purpose of discred-
iting the states attorneys Office and
the city administration is to be investi-
gated by special grand jury, accord
ing to police officials.
In an alleged confession, made pub>
lie last night by the police, Eddie
Mack, notorious pickpocket and
charged with leading the bandits who
robbed the Washington Park National
bank of $4,000, is said to have re-
vealed plot to discredit both city
and county officials and members Of
the police department.
Gunner Imported.
1t was generally known among
crooks that imported gunner were go
ing after Captain Hunt, chief of de-
tectives, and Maclay Hoyne, states
attorney of Cook county, because
they were after the crooks" Mack is
alleged by the police to have said.
Certain politicians and police Of
ficials are bringing them into town, y
Mack is reported to have added.
According to the states attorneys
office at least six police officers are
implicated by Macks confession, in
which he is quoted as naming several
as "fixers" for criminals and as hav-
ing accepted money for the protection
of law breakers. Several police Off
GERS recently were convicted on sim
liar charges.
Assistant States Attorney Frank
Johnson Jr., said today the grand jury
would be asked to return Immediately
indictments against Mack, Charles and
Henry Kramer, Alex Brodie and Harry
Fein, who were taken into custody
yesterday charged with the robbery.
Involved i'm Murder?
The jury, Mr.. Johnson said, also
would investigate the possibility that
the men were involved in the robbery
of the Cook tourist agency and the re-
sultant murder of Policeman Bror
Johnson. He said that should this
connection be proven and also that
certain policemen and politicians had
allowed the criminals to work in Chi
cago, charges of accessory before the
fact to the murder of Policeman John
son would be lodged against them.
With the alleged confession of Mack
and the Kramer brothers that they
robbed the Washington Park bank, the
authorities today were paying great
est attention to reputed importation OF
criminals to discredit the administra-
ton. The Kramers were quoted as
having said they were intimates of the
Rosenthal murderers in New York.
Held for ROsenthal Death.
According to Charles Kramer, the
brothers were taken into custody by
New York police shortly after the MUIR
der in July, 1912, of Herman Rosen-
thai. They were found, he said, in the
room of Harry Horowitz, known to the
New York authorities as "Gyp, the
Blood" and they were held while the

ment in Steelton's growth and submit
them at this meeting.
An investigation was made recently
by the league and a report shows that
many persons desirous of locating here

WOMAN BREAKS
FLYING RECORD
Completes Last Lap of Record
Making Trip From Chicago
to New York

New York, Nov 90. - The record
breaking aeroplane flight of Ruth
Law, begun yesterday in Chicago,
terminated at Governors Island here
at, 9:40 q. m. to-day after stops at
Hornell and Binghamton, N. Y. The
final 152 miles from Binghamton to
this city was covered this morning in
tire journey, $50 miles in an aeroplane
in the actual flying time of 9 hours
and one minue.
Miss Law was greeted on her ar
rval at Governors Island by Major
General and Mrs. Leonard Wood, who
congratulated her on her achievement
She was considerably chilled and was
taken to the house of one of the Off
GERS at the post to recuperate.
She had little to say about her flight
except that she had to fly much lower
than she wanted to, on account of the
haze. 1t was the cause of remarks
among those who examined her ma
chine here that its structure was such
as to expose her to the air more than
in the case of most modern aeroplanes.
The pilots seat Is placed on q pro-
lection in front of the machine so
that the aviatriX gets the full force of
the wind.
The machine used by Victor Carl
strom, previous holder of the Amer
lean nonstop record established in a
fight November 2 from Chicago to
New York, was OF the F'usillage type,
in the cockpit of which he was snugly
protected from the wind. In the
present flight Miss Law bettered Carl
strom's record by about 100 miles,
making the $50 miles in an airline
from Chicago to Hornell, n. Y, where
she arrived yesterday without stop

to this line would be the Babuna Pass,
north of Prilep. If the Serbs were
able to sweep the enemy from that
part of the Vardar Valley south of the
eastern entrance of Babuna, they
would then have the advantage of the
Saloniki- Belgrade railroad and could
smash forward to their greatest VIC
tories.
The capture of Monastir is the hard
est blow yet struck to Bulgarian hopes
since she entered the war on the side
of the central powers. The advance
of General Sarraifs forces through the
mountain barriers across the Serbian
border has been one of the most bril-
liantly conducted operations of the
war.
Monastir, town of about $4,000
population in peace times, was the
capital of the villayet of Monastir un-
der Trukish rule before the first Balkan
war. Serbia took it as part of her
share of the spoils after the second
Balkan conflict. 1t was held out as a
bait to Car Ferdinand by the Kaiser
when Prussian diplomats were seeking
to bring Bulgaria into the war and the
campaign in Serbia was~~extended at
the request of Car Ferdinand until
the city was occupied.

FALLS BEFORE
SERBS WHO ENTER WITH
FORCES OF THE FRENCH

London. Nov. 20. - Monastir has
fallen. Outflanked by the Serbs, who
drove forward dauntlessly along the
ridges to the east. the Bulgars and
Germans evacuated the city, the
stronghold of Serbian Macedonia. The
Serbo-French forces entered at s
O'Clock yesterday mofning.
Thus the first fruits of their long
and bitter campaign have fallen to
King Peters troops. They have re-
gained one of their most important
cities and as a symbol of the first
great step In reelaiming their land

The Bulgar-Teuton forces, swept
back by the brilliant assault. are re-
treating in disorder to Prilep. The
Serbians took large number of pris-
oners and huge stores. They are push
ing after the enemy and already have
consolidated their positions on the
Monastir plain.
Great Feat of Serbs
There Is a vast amount of inspiration
in this Serbian feat. A year ago King
Peters army was in wild flight before
the invading forces of Mackensen, out
numbering them in men and outrang-
ing them IN guns.
Battered and rent by the relentless
crunching of the German machine,
they were driven from their last foot
hold in their own land. Then began
the task OF reorganization. And now
on the anniversary of their conquest
of the city from the Turks In 1912 the
Serbs once more are In Monastir.

Peters troops over the crests that but

tress the Monastir plain will take its
place in military annals. Ridge after
ridge fell before the Serbian charge
until the Bulgar positions in the low
land had been turned.
Then the big guns of the Allies were
moved forward up the plain as the
Teutons, caught under the enflading
fire of the Serbs on the east, were
forced to fall back. When the entente
artillery opened fire, the Bulgarians
had no alternative. They evacuated
the city.
Sarrairs Great Stroke
General Sarrail now has accom-
plished the most important stroke of
the entire Macedonian campaign. 1t

the Rumanian situation. Though the
Bulgarians are strong enough to con-

where the odds are greatly in favor of

longer weaken their southern army to
aid Won Falkenhayn and Won Macken-
sen. On the other hand, they may
soon find themselves in such a perilous
position that the German commanders
may be forced to draw from their own
forces to save their ally from disaster.

DYSPEPTICS! END
STOMACH MISERY.
GAS, INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" neutralizes
acids in stomach and
starts digestion.
Stops any sourness, heartburn,
or food rising in
few moments.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue sufferer from in
digestion, dyspepsia or out-of-order
stomach is merely matter of how
soon you begin taking some Diapep-
sin.
If your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power. why not help the stomach
to do it's work. not with drastic drugs,
but a reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, sour risings,
gas on stomach or belching of undi-
gested food, headaches, dizziness or
sick stomach, and besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour. out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your stom-
aeh and intestines will be clean and
fresh, and you will know there are
rot going to be any more bad nights
and miserable days for you. They
freshen you and make you feel like
