NO CLUE TO BANK
ROBBERS OBTAINED
Local Citizens Believe Half
of Money is Now Being
Spent in Chicago.

Police official treat lightly the
theory that any OF the auto bandits
Who robbed the South Bend State
bank Monday morning, might have
fingered about town or that any per-
sons answering to their description
we're seen in the oliver hotel Mon
day night
The robbers are Supposed 20 have
made a quick rush for Chicago in
their high powered auto. According
20 this theory. they changed TO the
clear and Packard waiting for n
lear Westville. The red Studebaker
i'm which they made their exit from
south Bend was then left alone with
ne driver who became scout, patrol
and emergency reserve.
Two Doubled?
According to the other theory, at
east two Of the gang undertook to
20 the unexpected and doubled on
themselves, returning to South Bend.
Two men answering 10 the descrip-
ton Of the robbers. walked into the
oliver hotel and purchased a news
paper. One OF the young ladies at
the news stand remarked that they
looked suspicious.
The men answering the descrip-
ton of the bandits apparently over
heard the young woman's remark,
for they turned and rushed toward
the Washington av. entrance to the
hotel. and disappeared.
Notify Police.
Police headquarters was immedi-
ately notified. and policemen who
had not been given descriptions of
the bandits arrived at the hotel.
They wanted 10 know what the two
men looked like. They were given
a description Of the two men who
had bought copies of the evening
newspapers, and citizens who had
been given descriptions OF the ban
dts. gave these descrip tons to the
policemen.
The consensus Of opinion among
the older merchants of South Bend
is that the men who staged the rob-
Dery were professionals of most dar-
ing type, and that at least half OF
the money is now being spent in
Chicago, on the south side Of the
city.
The Burns detective agency which
does private work for the company
insuring the bang against robbery,
has an operative here investigating
the case.

T. p. O'Connor. nationalist. support
ed by John r Clynes and other
labor members.
Earlier in the session Andrew

admitted that many of the Irish
prisoners, both at Mount Joy, Dub
lin and in English institutions, are
being detained without charges hav-
ing been preferred against them
and with no plans to bring them to
trial going forward. Mr.. Bonar Law
was replying TO questions and added
that under existing conditions in
Ireland, where murder was so rife,
IL was necessary for the protection
of lives that persons be arrested on
suspicion.
Asks Probe,
During the days debate Mr..
Clynes. pointing out the danger OF
the labor disturbances In Ireland
spreading to England, urged that
the arrested men be either tried or
subjected to special treatment. Sir
Donald MacLean, national liberal
member. also supporting Mr.. O'Con-
nor the Irish leader, complained
that prisoners without trial are be-
ing treated as condemned criminals
and he advocated the appointment
OF a committee to investigate each
case as was done after the rebellion
of 1915.
Mr. Bonar Law reiterated that
there was no possibility OF the gov
eminent changing its decision and
that any sign of weakness in this
matter would only aggravate the
situation.

also would be IN the nature Of an ex-
