TO us sufficient, that a great wrong has
been done the reputation OF KokOmO by
an unspeakable gathering held ut our
Country Club on the night Of Nov. p
by one J. V. Pennell; and
Whereas, 1t is reported that many OF
the men were so drunk that they had to
be taken home and some had to have
the care OF a physician for several hours
and further that the scene Of this de
hauncherv is said to have been one OF In
describable filth. vOmit and broken
dishes: therefore be It
Resolved. that we express our horror
that any man should so fiOut the good
name Of our city at any time and espe-
ciaIIy on the eve Of his marriage, and
that we call upon every decent man and
women OF this community utterly 10 con-
denim this foul deed and TO assist In
every way possible to bring the guilty
parties TO justice.
Furthermore. we wish to state that
our civic committee has already notified
the Federal authorities Of this disgrace

Washington Police on Watch
For Gang That Robbed Bal
timore JeWelry Store.
BATTLE BELIEVED LIKELY
Men Thought to Be Speeding
Toward Capital in High
Powered Auto.

Answering an alarm from Balti-
more, where four automobile bandits
raided a jewelry store in broad day
light, shooting and probably fatally
wounding one man, Washington
police and detectives have hurried to
the District line to intercept the
quartet, who are reported speeding
toward this city in a high-powered
automobile. The police are prepared
for q pitched battle which is expected
if they meet the desperadoes.
Crime a Daring One.
The crime was one of the most dar-
ing in the history of Baltimore. The
bandits drove up to the jewelry store
of James r. Armiger, on North
Charles street near Baltimore street.
ut 1O:4O o'clock this morning. This
is in the very center Of the business
and shopping district of that city.
The men worked rapidly, SMASHING

the Jewelry store and looting 1t or
Thousands Of dollars worth OF dla-
monds and other gems, An unideptl-
Acds man who1trfedT tSsstop their es-
cape was shot down and probably
will die.
The bandits after cleaning out the
show window. jumped into the auto
mobile, which had teen left standing
in front OF the store with its engine
running, and dashed away through
the crowded downtown streets. scores
of policemen and citizens who pur-
sued them were eluded and distanced
and the machine disappeared IN the
direction of Washington.
General Alarm Sent Out.
A general alarm was flashed to all
the Baltimore police districts and
suburbs, as we'll as to Washington.
but up to noon the bandits trail had
not been picked UP.
A long distance telephone message
to the Washington police gave de-
scriptions OF the men and the auto
mobile, which is q large touring car.
1t is thought. the bandits have gone
in hiding with the machine between
this city and Baltimore, and may try
to enter Washington after nightfall.
The police are watching all roads
leading into the city from Baltimore.
