AUTO TOURISTS
ATTACKED BY
THREE BANDITS
Travellers Save Jewels, but
Lose Airedale Dog of
Great Value.
ALARMED BY NEIGHBORS

Three bandits, driving a Cadillac road
ster pursued tourist car driven by Mr..
and Mrs Robert s. Johnson Of st. Louis
down the Brookville road last night and
after firing seven shots at them forced
the johnson car into ditch and started
to hold up the couple when they were
forced to fee by persons attracted by the
firing
Although Mrs. johnson managed to save
several valuable diamonds by hiding them
an Airedale dog, which Mr.. johnson SAID
recently was appraised at $500, is miss
ing and he believes the bandits made OF
with 1t.
The police were notified promptly &C
cording to Mrs. r. e. Woodruff, whose
home sheltered the Johnsons after their
car was wrecked, but they failed to re-
spond and finally told the st. Louis cou-
pie to report at headquarters and give
description of the bandits. No officers
were sent to the scene Of the hold
According to Mr.. and Mrs. johnson the
bandit car passed them about a mile
east Of Emerson avenue on the Brook-
vile road about 10 o'clock last night and
called TO them to stop. Mr.. johnson did
not comply and near Ritter avenue he en-
countered the car, which had stopped
near q bridge He shot past and then
the Cadillac gave chase. The robbers
fired seven shots, Mr.. Johnson said, and
the car this morning plainly showed that
It had been the target for bullets.
At Butler avenue the bandits forced
Mr.. il nson's car into the ditch, dam
aging :. severely. The robbers brought
their car to a stop a few yards down the
road, and came back to the stranded
couple.
"You take the man and III search the
woman" said one who was evidently the
leader OF the gang. A thira man stood
guard while one Of the others showed
revolver into Mrs. Johnson's side.
At this juncture residents Of the neigh
borhood. alarmed by the fusillade Of shots
and the crash Of the automobile, came
pouring out OF their homes and the ban
dts shouted for them to remain indoors.
Failing to heed the order, the residents
kept coming nearer the scene of the hold
up and the trio rap to their waiting car,
jumped in and disappeared in the direc-
ton OF Indianapolis.
The dog, which had been in Mr.. John
sons car, disappeared and, while Mr..
Johnson is not positive It was stolen he
believes it was taken during the general
confusion that attended the hold-up.
The Johnsons said they thought he

a Covington tKy.) name plate. This gave
rise to the belief that the bandits motive
might have been theft OF the valuable
dog. because the Johnsons had been in
Coyington a few days ago, where the
airedale was appraised by a we'll known
fancier and where he attracted much at

DELEGATE PLAN
BEFORE TEACHERS
Interest in Association Session
Centers in Proposal.

Chief interest in the sixty eighth an
nual convention of the Indiana State
Teachers Association, which will begin
Thursday in this city, will center around
the proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition which would allow all business
of the organization to be transacted by
delegates instead of by all members The
amendment was submitted to the mem
bers Of the association by a referendum
some time ago and was ratified by sew
enty eight county units, four more than
is required for adoption.
However, it is reported that the teach
ers are almost equally divided over the
proposition, those living near Indian
apolis being in favor of the old method
of carrying on the business, while those
from the outlying parts Of Indiana favor
the delegate plan.
Donald DuShane, president Of the as.
ISOLATION. is leading the fight for the re.
tenticn of the old system.
Three candidates are mentioned for the
presidency for the coming year-W. A
Vert, superintendent Of the Gary public
schools Edgar Hasktns, superintendent
at Vincennes, and Miss Emma Colbert,
head Of the faculty Of the Teachers Col
lege at Indianapolis.
One Of the most interesting events on
the program will be a paper entitled
Capitalism Of the Future" by VIII Ir-

SEVEN NURSES
NEAR DEATH BY
EATING CANDY
Package of Sweets Sent
Through Mails Contained
Quantity of Poison.
POLICE INVESTIGATING

3 CHICAGO, Oct 19.-Physicians are
fighting today to save the lives of seven
nurses Of the West End Hospital, who
were made critically i'll by eating home
made candy, impregnated with cyanine
OF potassium, which was resolved by one
Of the young women through the mail
Police and detectives meanwhile are
making a rigid investigation to learn who
sent the candy and what the motive
was.
The candy was received by Miss Helen
Rosenfeld, a student nurse. 1t was sent
anonymously. Miss Rosenfeld herself
partook Of 1t and gave some to Miss
Theresa Ihfe Miss Grace Breakstone, Miss
Alma Dorl field, Miss Helen Leslie, Miss
Anna Ruhle and Miss Daisy Casey. who
CHANGED to be with her in the recreation
room Of the hospital when the candy VAS
received.
Attending physicians said the stricken
nurses have a chance for recovery, al
though their condition is critical.
Analysis Of the candy showed accord
ing to chemists, that the box of candy
contained enough of the poison to have
killed scores of persons.
Several men who are known to have
been acquaintances of Miss Rosenfeld are
under surveillance by the police. Several
have been questioned. Among these are
William Zimmerman and Benjamin Zim-
norman, brothers, and acknowledged ri
walls for the. affections Of the nurse
According to the story told by the
Zimmerman brothers and by their sister,
Mrs. Clara Kraus, Miss Rosenfeld had
received the attentions Of both of them
and each claimed her as his fancee.
Neither would admit any knowledge Of
the poisoned candy.
An attendant at the hospital who re-
ported that d man had endeavored to
reach Miss Ro5enfeld by telephone Mon
day night, and who declared he believed
he could name the man who sent the
candy, is to be questioned. His name
was withheld.
The theory that a disgruntled patient
at the hospital may have sent the deadly
CONNECTION also IS being investigated. A
note which accompanied the box, said:
From n patient who was an ardent
admirer, this candy was faithfully
made"
Almost Immediately after eating the
candy, the young women became des-
perately i'll. They fell to the floor and
screamed In agony. Their screams
brought other employees of the hospital
and physicians Immediately resorted TO
use OF the stomach pump and emetics.
Postal inspectors have Joined with the
police in endeavoring to trace the source
Of the candy.
