Robberies Of Rural Banks
Cause Depositors to With
draw Securities.

Widespread withdrawal of Unregis-
tered securities from rural banks is
reported to H. G. Smith, secretary OF
the Kentucky Bankers Association.
after six months of lOOting of small
town banks all over the State by
gangs. of bandits whose hauls have
tOtaled more than 100000.
While rural bank owners general
ly are installing more modern equip
ment, with additional protection of
burglar alarm systems, customers
have been warned to withdraw their
securities until the new vaults are
provided. Kennedy Helm, attorney
for the Kentucky Bankers Associa-
ton, gave his opinion that banks
could not be held liable for the loss
of negotiable paper if reasonable pro-
lection is afforded or where patrons
are warned of inadequate vault facili-
les.
During recent Onslaughts on coun-
try banks ten institutions have been
victimized by motor bandits. Secre-
tary Smith said last night the only
solution of the menace was the in
staIlation of burglar proof vaults and
automatic alarm systems.

Smith, nobody knew of the robbery

quented by motorists could stop all
ears in the neighborhood of the crime
and hold everyone passing and thus,
almost certainly, capture the thieves
The present penalty for bank robbery
should be increased"
Bankers believe the recent rob-
berries have been committed by or
ganized gangs working out of Louis
Vile, Cincinnati and Nashville. That
they have a well-organized system OF
fences in these cities, also, is the
opinion of those in touch with the
situation.
Registered securities have been left
untouched in the burglariled safes or

BOMBING AN ICE GORGE.

Thousands of pounds of TINT were
cropped from airplanes on the mons
ter ice gorge in the Susquehanna riv-
eg, just above Port Deposit, Md, in
al effoYt TO save that town. Officers
from the Aberdeen proving grounds
flew over the immense jam again and
again dropping with splendid aim,
large and powerful bombs, some OF
which weighed $50 pounds. Geysers
of ice, water and mud rose high in
the afr after each explosion, and a
great agitation became visible. The
gorge proved to be very stubborn
however, and did not WELD to any
appreciable extent until after two
days of continual bombing.

/ discarded by the robbers because OF
the impossibility Of disposing of this
class of paper without detection.
At Shepherdsville the burglars
took time to sort out the registered
securities, leaving them behind. Their
loot, however, in cash and other pa
per, amounted to 5000.
With the exception Of the robbery
of the bank at Smithsvine, which was
staged in broad daylight after the
young woman cashier mad been lock-
ed in the vault, all Of The recent bur-
glaries have been 4; night In no
case has anyone been wounded by
the bandits. At burgin the robbers
fired on pursuers but no one was in
jured
The burglars used nitro-glycerin
for their work in every case except
at Shepherdsville, where a pick was
employed to dig through the bank
vault and at Jeffersontown, where an
acetylene torch was applied. None
of the robberies has occurred in cities
of more than 1000 population. Mr..
Smith said it would be impossible to
get into the vaults of Louisville
banks.
The men who blew the safe of the
WOODBURY. Bank made their getaway
in a car of expensive make which
bore no license, but which stopped
for water at Bowling Green, while
headed for Louisville. Believing
they were being pursued, the robbers
at Adairville abandoned their ma
chine near a railroad track and board
ed a passing freight train.
The men charged with the robbery
of the Moscow Bank are now in Gus
tody at Clinton. 1t is said they are
the same men seen in Crab Orchard
the day of the looting of the bank
there. The alleged robbers at
Smithsville have been sent to the pen
itentiary. AS only one night inter
vened between the robberies of the
banks at Moscow and Berry and since
those two towns are widely separated
it is not believed the same robbers
committed both crimes.

From the days of "Omar, the
Tentmaker," down to the modern
canvas house is a long stride. The
simple methods of olden times have
been supplanted by modern machin-
cry to meet the demands of our COM

ment of this firm special attention
has been given to this feature and
they have one of the most efficient
concerns in this part of the country.
This is one of the most progress
sive establishments in the county
equipped with the latest and best
devices for making canvas, tents,
awnings, etc. This factory is
doing an extensive business in this
line and the work is giving universal
satisfaction.
Better call and see them the next
