CHICAGO HOLDu2
MYSTERY SOLVED

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The mystery of the
$4,000 holdup at st. Luke's hospital
Monday afternoon was cleared today
through the arrest of two men, one of
whom, according to the police, has
confessed.
Ralph W. Rollman, driver of the
taXicab in which the robber escaped
made a signed confession of the part
he played in the crime, the police an
nounced. He not only admitted, the
police said, that he had known the
men for several weeks, but that he was
not the unwilling party to the robbery
which he claimed he was after it had
taken place. Rollman gave the names
of the holdup men, saying he had kept
silent before through fear of being
shot.
The robbery was planned, according
to Rollman's confession, by Charles
Searles, a former patient at the hospi-
tai, who, since recovering from his i'll
ness, has worked as an elevator opera
tor at the institution. Sidney Mcclure.
% years old, and Paul Fox, 90 years
old, were named by Rollman as Searle's
accomplices, according to the police.
James Searles, brother Of Charles, is
being held by the police in connection
with the robbery. He also was an en-
ploye at the hospital.

FRENCH CARE FOR
POOR REFUGEES

Paris, Jan. 5.-A semi-official note
issued last night says that thus far
100000 refugees or repatriates have
been sent to the various French de-
partments, where with the aid of the
government they have been cared for
by the population. The note was is
sued in reply to criticism based, it is
alleged, on inaccurate information.
Among the number, the note says, it
is necessary to distinguish those who
have resources from those destitute
persons who have appealed to the gov
eminent. The latter constitute an i'm
mense majority and everything posi-
bic has been done for them. At gov
eminent expense they have been sent
to various places of refuge and at the
same time furnished with lodging and
food.
