Bandits Raid Coney Bungalow;
Rob Is Card Players of $4,000

Fifteen members of the Seminole
Club were clustered around a large
table at their bungalow, 2915 West
Thirty-frst Street, Coney Island, early
yesterday morning, enjoying game of
cards, when five masked men entered,
armed with revolvers. They departed
few minutes later with $4,000 in cash
and rings, watches and stickpins valued
at $1,000. They left nothing behind
except some we'll filled ash trays, cards
and dice.
The intruders proceeded about their
business very briskly. The card game
was automatically stopped when the
bandits pokeG their revolvers under
the club members noses. They lined
the fifteen men up against a wall.
With three Of the bandits covering the
victims, the other two went through
their pockets The bandits overlooked
nothing, taking every dime in sight.

While the pockets of the club mem
bers were being rifed one of their
number managed to escape from the
bungalow. He rushed to the home Of
Police Corporal Jacob Levy, at 2917

Woman and Man Previously

| NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July Ii
Charles G. Stephens, of Bristol, Eng
iland, was killed to-day when he went
over the Horseshoe Falls in a barrel.
The cask in which he made the trip,
though built of stout Russian oak
slaves and bourd with steel hoops,
smashed like an eggshell on the Jagged
rocks at the base Of the cataract.
Pieces of the barrel were picked up
near the bank on the Canadian side.
but Stephens's body has not been. re-
covered. River men say that it NAV
not come to the surface for week or
ten days.
Stephens. who boasted the title of
"daredevil," was fifty-eight years old
and had wife and eleven children in
bristol, where he was a barber. He
served three years in France with the
British army. He had planned to make
a lecture tour Of England if his trim
was successful.
Pioneer Gave Warming
Bobby Leach, who went over the
horseshoe Falls in 1911, told Stephens
before he started that his trip would be
a failures Leach predicted that The
barrel would not withstand the drop of
l58 feet, but Stephens refused to be
dlssuaded from the venture. Leach
was among the spectators who watched
the start of Stephens's fatal trip.
Few knew that Stephens was to make
the trip to-day, and when the barrel
was towed out into the river 6n the
Canadian side, two miles above the
falls, there were only dozen on hand
to watch. 1t was $40 o'clock when
Stephens was cast adrift. Early sight
seers on Goat Island saw the barrel
.bobbing up and down in the tumbling
reaches OF the upper rapids, but none
knew that it carried a man about to
defy the cataract.
Goes Over Head Foremost
Members of Stephens's party fol-
lowed the cask down stream in auto.
mobiles. In one of the cars a moving
picture operator filmed the progress
of the barrel. AS the barrel drew near
the brink of the falls it seemed to
stand on end, hesitate a second or two
and then slide gracefully over the
slope, head foremost, and at a slight
angle. It's cleaning black and white
stripes could be seen until it had
fallen about half way down the face

scanty attire Levy commandeered an.
other car and gave chase.
At Twenty-seventh Street and Nep-
tune Avenue the bandits car became
stalled in the soft sand. The five men
leaped out and ran. When Levy
reached the machine he found two men
on the front seat and placed them
under arrest!
Suspects Held Without Bail
They said they were Herman Nadles,
twenty-five years old, of 159 East
Houston Street, Manhattan, and Leon
Sonkin, twenty-three years old. of 1923
Madison Avenue. They were held in
the Coney Island court without bail for
hearing Wednesday.
The two men said they are chauf-
feurs, and declared they had been
hired by the five bandits to drive to
the Seminole Club bungalow. After
reaching the bungalow, they. said, they
had been instructed to wait. They
said they had driven the five strangers
to Coney Island from Second Avenue,
Manhattan.
The losses of the individual club
members, it was said, ranged from $35
to $1,000.

Craft After Day Spent
in a Peril0us Position
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


NEW LONDON, Conn, July Ii
F. r. Mayors auxiliary schooner yacht
Undaunted ran aground this, morning
at Orient Point, L. l., opposite this city,
After efforts to move the vessel by its
own power proved fruitless wireless
calls for assistance were sent out and
the Harriet and Alert, tugs of the Scott
Wrecking Company, hauled it off at
4:30 this afternoon.
BESIDES the owner there were FORTY
persons aboard the Undaunted, six Of
them Mr.. Mayors guests and thirty
four of them members of the yachts
crew.
They were loafing along down the
Sound with Sea Gate as their destina-
tion. There was heavy fog and be-
fore the sailing master realized that
he was in perilous waters the Yacht
ran hard aground on the rocky shore
with jar that jolted every one aboard
out of his slumber.
When they reached the deck and
wisps Of fog began to drift away as
the morning breeze rose, jagged rocks
began to show on all sides. AS the
tide fell more and more rocks were
exposed until it seemed a miracle that
the yacht, fog-blinded as it was. could
have reached it's inshore berth without
impaling itself " ,'''~
The wrecking company tugs arrived
about neon, but their shippers decided
to wait until food tide before attempt-
ing to pull the Undaunted into deem
water. Then they accomplished the
task with little difficulty and the Yacht
resumed its trip under its own power.
Its first appearance in these waters
this season was at the Harvard
regatta. Since that time it has been
cruising along the coast, going as far
south as Atlantic City.

Two Conventions Will

Fitzpatrick Delivers Fiery
Speech, His Reference to

CHICAGO, July H. Amalgamation
OF the Committee of Forty-eight and
Labor Party of the United States with
a common platform and common Presi-
Dental ticket will be recommended to
the two conventions tomorrow, it was
decided tonight by their conference
committees.
After several hours discussion the
conferees adopted three resolutions
recommending combining of the two
groups, and then took up discussion of
name for the new party.
The Committee Of Forty-eight and
the Single Tax conventions were in
recess over Sunday, but attended the
Labor convention in force.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, keynote
speaker, brought the convention to the
highest enthusiasm with plea chat
the day would come when the working
people of the United States would get
together and do job such as the work
crs of Russia have DONE"
The biggest demonstration of the
day was accorded this reference. Dele
gates stamped and whistled, and when
one called for "three cheers for Soviet
Russia" they were given
Fitzpatrick declared there was moth
ing to prevent the "hand and brain
workers taking the government out of
the hands Of, not Americans, but in
ternational financial pirates," and ad-
vised all the minority groups to unite
on one ticket.
Labor Platform Applauded
In opening the convention Max
Hayes, chairman of the Labor Party's
national committee, declared that "ev-
cry political group assembled in this
city agrees in substance to the plat
form" which the Labor Party had
formulated last November. This state
ment brought prolonged applause in
which delegates wearing badges of the
Single Takers, Forty Lighters and
other elements attending the conven-
tion joined.
The November Labor platform de-
clared for naturalization of all es-
sential industries, abolition of the
United States Senate and of injunc-
tion power of judges in labor dis
putes declared for the Plumb plan,
steep income taxes, worldwide. dis
armament, a national budget and
limitation of "The United States Su-
preme Courts power to veto legisla-
ton"
c. J. France, Seattle, who presented
the Forty Fighters invitation to the
labor group to join the new party
movement, told the convention the ques-
tion Of platform was "incidental" and
that beneath it "are the economic prin-
ciples for which all of you and us
can fight"
AS name for the new party,
"Farmer-Labor" was suggested. It's
consideration, however, was postponed.

cheering punctuated the Fitzpatrick ad-
dress. His speech lost all repression
