BANK RoBBtR says He
WAS OFFERED AN EASY
JOB, SORRY He WENT.

West Palm Beach, May Usher
iff r. C. Baker announced last night
that John P. Jones, one of the boys
arrested in connection with the Stu
art bank robbery, is John Lawrence
Middleton, brother of Jack Middle
ton, light-heavyweight champion
boxer of the state. 1t also announc-
ed that the name of another alleged
member Of the robber band is known
and deputies are hard on his trail.
Middleton's confession of his iden-
tity came, according to Sheriff Bak-
er, when confronted by people whom
he knew. According to his statement
he came to West Palm Beach. two
weeks ago to- see his brother fight
Billy Lands. After the robbery,
Sheriff Baker learnedthat Middleton
and Mobley, the other alleged robber
her in Jail, had been seen together
around town as late as Friday after
noon. The descriptions furnished of
the men who robbed the bank Tailed
near enough to put the sheriff on
their trail.
Mobley is said to have told wild
story of having been approached by
two men while he was standing with
Middleton in City Park last Wednes-
day. The men asked them if they
would like an easy job, and when they
replied in the affirmative, the men
told them all they would have to do
would be to rob a bank. This was
easy work for them, according TO
Mobley, who is said to have admitted
being one of the gang who robbed
the Bimini bank of $4,000 some time
ago. He stated that he usually car
ried a bank roll of from $1,000 to
81 500 on his person at all times.

Schaeffer Has a
Slim Lead Over
Cochran's S Score
Inv Associated Pressl


Chicago, May 17.-"Young jake
Schaefer, champion, today held a
slim lead over Walker Cochran, chal-
lenger, as the result of the first
nights play in their 15OO-point match
for the 1872 balk line billiard cham
pionship.
After a general show of medioc-
rity in the early innings, the young
experts magically improved in the
final stands at the table, and, dis
playing the accurate shot making and
golden touch bequeathed him by his
father, Jake Schaefer the wizard,
young Jake" took the first block
500 to 421. To do it, after playing
some of the worst billiards ever seen
in a championship contest, the
champion averaged 120 for the final
three innings, garnered the nights
high run with a wonderful 202 and
rounded out his final try with an un-
finished run of IS.
Apparent careless vieing with
oyer-zealousness and careful safety
playing and bad breaks which repeat
edly left the balls lined up for i'm
possible shots, all tended to make
the first dozen runs at the table by
the men extremely uninteresting.

Genoa, May 1.-THE attitude OF
the Russians at today's session of the
political subcommission Of the Genoa
conference will have a great influ-
ence on the plans for the proposed
meeting at The Hague to discuss the
Russian situation. If they should be
Irecalcitrant and inclined to make
even wider demands than heretofore,
the French delegates say it will be
almost impossible to persuade their
government to participate at The
Hague. aE ..4
1t is believed here that the bearing
of the Russians may also have a de-
cided effect on the attitude of the
United States, as Secretary Hughes
declination of the invitation to at
tend The Hague meeting is not re-
garded as final by the British and
other delegations. Mr.. Lloyd-George
stated that he still hoped to induce
the United States to participate, and
the leaders of the Genoa conference
are planning further correspondence
with Washington.
After reflective consideration of
tn enote, many prominent delegates
also felt it offered more hope than
they at first believed, and said that
it was worded so as to leave the way
open for further negotiations. When
the. explanation was received that
the note left the door open for fur
ther> conversations since satisfaction
was expressed by all the delegations.
Mr.. Lloyd-George and Signor
Schanzer declare that if there is a
feeling in America that they are in
spired by utilitarian motives in ask
ing the cooperation of the United
States, everything must be done to
convince the American people that
this is mistake. Tn eco-operation
of America was asked, they say, be-
cause no other country enjoys her
prestige and no other country has her
reputation for impartiality and disin-
terestedness.
