MAIL ROBBERY LOSS $500, 900
Chicago Postoffiee Truck Raided at
Dearborn Station.

Chicago-Currency and negotiable
securities amounting to at least $780,
900 are believed to have been obtain
ed by bandits who robbed a govern
ment mail truck at the Dearborn sta
ton. The registered mailpouch be-
lieved to have contained the loot was
found by police, ripped open and aban-
doned.
Various and conflicting stories are
told Of the holdup by witnesses. but
all agree the robbery consumed not
more than a minute and a halt. One
story. accepted as probably true, was
that the robbers nonchalantly tossed
a baseball all afternoon in a lot adj
joining the station, and that when this
certain mail truck appeared they
changed their baseball gloves for guns
and rushed up on the unsuspetcing
mail clerks.

Wild West Scene Re-enacted
When Hennepin County Posses -
Tracked Men Through Wood
Exchanging Shots.

Minneapolis-Three posse members
we're wounded and one bandit was shot
and captured when Hennepin county
deputy sheriffs and volunteers from
Hopkins and st. Louis park attempted
to round up a pair of highwaymen who
had been terroriZing persons on the
Minnetonka boulevard in that district.
Typical wild west scenes were re-
enacted when the posses, made up Of
more than 100 armed men, tracked the
bandits through a small woods, ex-
changing shots with them almost con-
t~inuously.
The affair which lasted several
hours, and had the entire section of
the county in arms, started shortly
after l p. NJ. when two youthful armed
masked men held up Fred Miller, Eden
Prairie, Mimi, as he vas driving from
Hopkins to Bookings.
After taking SIS from Miller, Porter
ordered Miller to drive ahead, while
the other bandit stood on the running
board.
Proceeding toward Brookings in this
manner, the bandit on the running
board stopped and Nheld up the occu-
pants of three other cars while Porter
kept Miller covered with his gun.
Bandits Hide In Brush.
Either firing of the game, or decid-
ing they were not getting enough
money, the bandits deserted Miller
and his car when still several miles
from Brookings, and hid themselves
in some brush at the side of the road.
Miller drove on to Bookings, notified
authorities at Minneapolis and Hop
kins, organized a posse and started
back.
William Carney and George Silk
were first to leave Hopkins and they
encountered the bandit pair neal the
Louis Frazier farm. Carney and Silk
left their a and started in pursuit
when the hold-up men began shoot
ing.
The first bullets Of the bandits took
hitting Silk in the foot, Carney drop
ped behind the radiator of his car,
but pulled himself up and fired. His
bullet struck n Of the bandits in the
leg, but he kept on going.
AS the pair neared the Frazier home,
two police dogs were turned on them,
and after shooting one of them, the
men escaped into a small woods near
by
BY this time Miller had returned
with a quickly organized posse from
Brookings, and Marshal A. w. Cooper
had arrived from Hopkins with a
posse.
Wounded Partner Escapes.
The two groups combed the woods,
while Frazier and several other men
hurried to the Great Northern tracks
nearby to prevent an escape in that
direction.
Marshal Cooper's posse neared the
fugftives at the edge Of the woods, and
in exchange Of shots the marshal was
shot in the right leg.
Coming into the pen the bandit
pair ran toward the tracks, at an angle
to escape those watching there. In
an exchange of shots there, Frazier
with only a 22-caliber rifle, shot Por-
ter through the lung. He dropped,
but his partner, though also wounded,
kept going and got away.

Secretary of State Defies Allies
to Deny America Rights to
War Results.
To FIGHT zap MANDATE
U. 8. Takes Position That the Prln-
eipai Contributor to Victory Over
Germany Must Not Be
Ignored by Council.

Washington-The American govern
ment, although not a party to the
treaty Of Versailles, has surrendered
none of its rights in the overseas pos
sessions of Germany secured to the
principal Allied and Associated powers
OF that treaty, the governments OF
Japan, Great Britain, France and Italy
are informed by Secretary Hughes in
similar notes dispatched by the State
department Monday.
Specifically, the communications
deal with the award to japan by the
supreme council at Paris on May z,
1919, OF a mandate over the Island OF
zap, an important cable center in
the Pacific ocean, and Mr.. Hughes
says the American government trusts
that this action, which it must assume
was taken under a misrepresentation,
Will be reconsidered."
No Modification Of Wilson Stand.
The notes are the first important
diplomatic communications penned by
the new Secretary Of State and they
make II plain that the change of adj
ministrations in Washington had re-
suited In no modification of the previ-
Gus position of the United States that
as n OF the principal contributors to
the common victory over Germany it
must insist on the exercise OF its full
rights in the disposition of the former
German possessions.
Only one of the communication
that to Great Britain-was made pub
lie. Those to France and italy are
understood to be substantially the

foreign office, explained hat the note
to Japan contained additional para
graphs referring to previous CORE
spondence between the two govern
ments." IL added that the correspon-
dence with Tokyo lis not made public
at this time" but no official explana-
ton was forthcoming.
Series Begun by Colby.
The note to Japan is in reply to one
on the subject Of zap received from
that country last March q. This COM
~munication and those to the other
three Allied powers were supplemental
to previous notes on this subject from
the United States to those govern
ments and also to the Council Of the
League of Nations. The series was
begun by Secretary Colby last Novem.
Der 8, after the international com
m~unications conference had convened
here to dispose finally OF the former
German cables seized by the Allies at
the outbreak Of the war.
Asserting that "there could be NO
valid or effective disposition of the
overseas possessions OF Germany, now
under consideration. without the assent
OF the United States" Secretary
Hughes points out that the Treaty OF
Versailles does not "%purport to secure
10 Japan or to any other nations any
right In the overseas possessions OF
Germany save as an equal right there
in should be secured to the United
States"

FAVORS RELIEF MERGER
Dawes Committee Urges ConsoIi-
dation of Soldier Bureaus.
Says Il Would Furnish Quick Relief
for Men Who Have, Suffered Under
Divided Responsibility.

Observation-Disclosures in solving
the governments problem of caring
for former service men, whether sick
or disabled, or physically fit but hav-
ing financial claims to be adjusted, was
made here at the first meeting of Pre-
sident Harding's special commission,
headed by Charles G. Dawes Of Chi
cage and appointed to inquire into the
situation. II was unanimously agreed
that the administrative machinery now
operating separately in the several
fields of soldiers relief, should be con-
solidated under one central authority,
probably a new executive officer who
would be responsible directly to the
President.
Bureau Heads Present.
Heads Of all the bureaus having to
do with treatment of the war veter-
ans were present and In reply to
questions from Chairman Dawes and
Colonel f. w. Galbraith, Jr., national
commander Of the American Legion,
said they favored the general idea Of
a consolidated service bureau, This
Endorsement, Charles Dawes said,
promised quick solution of the prob
lem as it related to the general adj
ministration Of aid for men who are
alleged to have suffered under the
system Of divided governmental re-
sponsibility.
Placing the Public Health COM
pletely in charge of the proposed new
executive head, to the exclusion of all
but soldier work was e. gored, but this
suggestion brought from medical au-
thorities present statements that such
a course would e~ndanger the national
health.
Brigadier General Charles e. Saw
yer, who appeared as the Presidents
personal representative, declared en-
phatically that the Public Health SER
vice should be retained as an entity.
He was supported by others Of his
profession who asserted 1t would be
an unwise step taken at the expense
Of the nations health. Chairman
Dawes. however, expressed the belief
that this service could be placed un-
der the one directing head without en-
dangering the Public Health, because
the official in charge would not be an
extremist who would seek the better
ment Of soldiers to the detriment Of
the nation az a whole.
"The essence of the whole thing"
Mr.. Dawes said, in discussing the work
Of the investigating commission, lis
speed. Something remedial should be
done without delay, without waiting
for construction of permanent hospi-
tails. Soldiers now without treatment
will have passed the stage where hos
pitfalls will help them IL we wait"
