two OF the bandits, each carrying two
revolvers. stood guard the five other
officials had their hands bound be-
hind them. When President Stabler
sought to demonstrate, he was struck
vicious blow over the head. Two
others were struck because they did
not move with speed sufficient for the
demands of the bandits.
The officials were driven into a
small directors room at the rear of
the little bank, a guard was placed
over them, and the looting of the two
vaults was accomplished.
Apparently peeved at finding only n
few thousands in cash, the bandits
asked where they could find the Sc
Curities. At the point of a revolver
Francis Miller, the assistant cashier,
showed them the bonds held at the
bank.
Several strong boxes containing
silver and jewelry owned by depos-

The Audion tube, which made pos
sible communication between san
Francisco and New York, Is under
stood to form an important part OF
the equipment to be used In the pro-
posed trans mondial communication
system, as does also an entirely new
Transmitting device, which Is UNDER
stood TO be the development OF Ma
Jor General Squier.
Invention IL simple.
The new invention, which may be
applied to teiegraphy as well as
telephony, and which is expected to
|revoiutionize modern methods or
communication. Is described as amaz-
fngly simple.
y The Audion tube. the invention of
De Forest for use in wireless teleg-
Apply, was first used in connection
with telephony some fve years ago,
when engineers discovered that the
introduction of the tube into teie-
phone circuit wonderfully improved
Transmission.
To Col. J. J. Carty, chief engineer
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and regarded as the
foremost living authority on the tele-
phone, is given the credit for apply
ing the tube to long-distance teleph-
pny on a large scale.
BY the aid OF Audion tubes, intro
Huced at various stages along the
route, persons in New York have been
able to hear the ticking of a watch
IN San Francisco or the washing OF
the waves on Seal Rocks at the Cliff
House
Al the time of the signing of the
Peace Treaty in the Hall of Mirrors
1t Versailles, the possibility of direct
communication from Versailles to
Washington was discussed and the
Audion tube was suggested. but the
idea was abandoned because of the
back of time and the difficulty of
placing the automatic repeating sta
tions. Direct communication by tele-
graph was established. however, be-
tveen Versailles and London, and by
cable from London to New York. so
that the official description of the
eeremony Of signing the treaty
reached the Secretary of State in
Nv ashington less than three minutes
hitter 1t was written In Versailles.
