DARlNGs BANDIT ROBS
 SLEEPING PASSENGERS
Holds Trainmen Powerless at the Point of His
 Pistol.

Sparta, Wis. May 2.-A bandit con- on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad forced two members of the train crew to stand with their hands above their heads while he rified the pockets of the sleeping passengers. just as the. train pulled into tho lsuttsrtaon hero early today. Brake- man John Hockett, the first member of the crew to encounter the robber, was confronted with pistol and forced to jump off the rear of the moving train two miles out of Medary but was not seriously injured.
 After disposing of Hockett, the bandit re-entered the coach and started a search for the possessions of, those occupying the berths. Dur ing the operation he was surprised by the Pullman conductor, whom he covered with. a revolver, and then continued to search. He was still busy as the train stopped at Sparta. Conductor w. F. F'renz, in charge of the train, noting the absence of his rear brakeman and Pullman conduct or from their stations, went to the rear coach to investigate. He also was covered by the revolver. As the train pulled out of the station, the robber jumped from the rear coach and fled.
 Conductor Frenz stopped the train and notified the police. Sheriff Henry with posse of twelve men started a search for the robber, good de- scrtption of whom. was given by the train crew.
 An hour after the robbery brake man Hockett limped into Medary badly bruised but not seriously hurt.
 No estimate of the amount of money the bandit obtained could be learned. According to the statement of Conductor Frenz none of the pas sengers was awakehed by the bandit.

HOLLWEG SILENT ON PEACE PLANS
 TILL LATER HOUR

 pe||ate Him On Subject

Copenhagen, May 2, via London The speech which was to have been made in the Reichstag by Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chancellor on peace and international relations has been postponed to a more fitting occasion, according to word received here
 The situation as reported in a de- spatch from Berlin appears to be as follows:
 ,At. a caucus of the majority social fists in the Reichstag. the group that supports the policy of not embarrass- ing the chahcellor and the govern ment, it was decided to defer an in terpellation that had been proposed regarding Germany's peace plans un- til more suitable occasion. The in- terpellation was to have been made today. s
 ..It is now expected that. debate up- on the political situation, together with the chancellor's speech, will probably be postponed, until the. third reading of the finance measures.
 According to the Berliner Tageblatt, as quoted in a despatch from The Hague on Tuesday, pr. von Beth mann-Hollweg was to have made a peace offering in the Reichstag on Thursday. The speech has been awaited with the greatest interest in view of the recent reports of condi- tions in Germany. notably internal labor troubles and socialism and also because of an intimation in one of the German newspapers that the modern ton of the German peace terms would astonish the world.''
