After Battle.

Kenosha, Oct. 14.-One hundred and
forty patrons of a Kenosha Social club
were held up by four masked men at
one o'clock in the morning and re-
lieved Of about $4,000 in cash, and
rings and jewelry to the amount of
severai hundreds more. The victims
were herded against the wall of the
clubrOOms and while they stood with
their arms above their heads, under
cover of four reyolvers, the bandits
relieved them Of their possessions. The
fifth bandit is said to have been wait
ing in an automobile in the street be-
low. When the holdup was completed
the. four bandits rushed to the ma
chinA which sped from the city. 1t
passed through the town at a speed
of over forty miles an hour, and when
near the outskirts was fired upon by a
police officer, who attempted to arrest
the driver for speeding. The machine
escaped and the officials at Zion City
were notified. AS the machine sped
into the Illinois town officers were in
waiting with a police car. After spir-
ita1 chase the car of the bandits skid
ded at a turn and ran into a ploWed
field. A pistol duel between the ban
dts and officers ensued, and two Of
the men were captured. The other two
escaped, but the police officers are GER
tain that one of them at least was
wounded during the firing. Only $3.50
was recovered from the prisoners. 1t
is believed that the fifth member of
the party left the machine shortly af-
ter it passed the Kenosha limits and
took a train for Chicago.

Senator Underwood will, as soon as the health of President Wilson permits, present the request of the Birmingham chapter of the American Association of Engineers that an engineer be selected to fill the vacancy now existing on the Interstate Commerce commission. In- formation to this effect has just been re- ceived from Senator Underwood by c. R. Gates, president of the chapter here.
 In asking Senator Underwood to take this matter up with the President. the local engineers set forth the claim that while the duties of memb bers of the in terstate commerce commission are largely judicial they have to do with matters of engineering concern and for success are dependent upon accurate statements of fact. to be obtained only by exper- fenced engineers. It was declared that many of the duties of members of the interstate commerce commission are con- structive in character and look toward creative efforts in the initiation of which the characteristics of the engineers train ing are needed Especial attention was called to the valuation of the railroads. which is one of the big works assigned to the comm ssbon.
 The Birmingham chapter of engineers is also supporting the bill now pending in Congress for the creation of a na- tional department of public works which would have charge of all the engineering work done by the government Under the present plan. engineering work in each branch of the department is In charge of the officials of that depart ment

SALARY INCREASE OF
 POSTAL EMPLOYES.
PostmasterSmyer to Appear Before Senate Committee
 in Interest of Raise

Postmaster R. B. Smyer leaves to- day for Washington to appear before the Senate committee on salaries of postal employees. A petition was pre- sented to Congress some time ago ask ing that the salaries of clerks and mail carriers in the larger cities and of postmasters in smaller places be in- creased.
 This petition will be taken up by the Senate committee Monday or Tues day and representatives of the postal employees and postmasters from all parts of the country will be present to present their claims.
 Mr Smyer goes to Washington at the request of the postmasters of the cities of the first class in Alabama He will also request the committee to recommend increases in the salaries 9f the clerks and carriers in the Blr- mingham postoffce, and for better distribution of salaries.
 Under the present system merit does not count in fixing salaries he said The employees are classified ac- cording to years of service and win. out regard to their efficiency. If sal aries were based on efficiency l be- lieve the service would be greatly benefited thereby"
 Mir Smyer stated that several en- ployes of the local postoffice have re- signed recently to engage in private business. which offered greater re- turns for the work expended. The maximum salary at the Birmingham postcffice, except for supervisors, is $500 "a year, which Mir. Smyer con. tends is not enough for first-clGss clerk or. carrier, while it may be too much for those of less efficiency.

AMERICAN LEGION
 MEMBERS ID MEET
Important Question to Come Before Session This After
 noon at 2::30 O'Clock

A meeting of all members of the American legion and of all ex-serVice men has been called for this afternoon at 2:9o o'clock in the rooms of the Civic association. The call was issued by Joe K. Yates, commander of the Birmingham post of the legion, who announces that matters of the utmost importance will come up for consideration.
 Plans are being considered by which the legion twill take over the rooms of the war camp community service at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street. These rooms will be given np on No- vember i, as the work of the organiza- ton, which has had them leased eor some time, will cease then. The details of the proposed acquisition will be con- sfdered by the members of the legion this afternoon.
 Delegates are to be selected to the na- tional convention of the legion, which .eonyenes at Minneapolis November g. 10 and IL It is also expected that there will be some discussion of the questions which are scheduled for consideration at the national meeting and the opinion of the members of the local post will be secured
  here by the local post at an early date, and this matter will be arranged at the meeting this afternoon. An effort is to be made to secure every ex-service man as an affiliate with the legion, and a campaign of education setting forth the advantages and the needs for the legion will be waged. Up to the present there has been no general movement to secure members, and hundreds who are eligible have never been approached on the ques- ton, nor have they given any consid- eraton to it.
 Every preacher in the Birmingham dis trct is to be asked to preach a sermon on Sunday, November g. on the American egion it's ideals and it's purposes. This will be part of the national observance on the Sunday nearest to the anniversary of the signing of the armistice. The sug- gestion for this service was made here recently by Henry D. Lindsey, chairman of the executive committeS of the legion. It is believed that all tte churches will co -oprate in thfs movement.
