MINT BANDITS
STILL At LARGE
No Trace of Robbers Who Got
$500, 900 in Raid on
Denver Mint

DENVER r. Colo, Dec. 10
Eighteen hours of searching and
questioning of sixteen persons at po-
lice headquarters, had failed early
today to reveal any trace Of the
identity of the bandits who yester-
day robbed a federal reserve bank
truck of 100000, after a gun fight
in front of the United States mint
here, in which Charles Z. Linton,
one of the guards on the truck, was
wounded fatally.
The truck. in charge of J. e. OIL
sen, cashier of the local reserve
bank, had called at the mint to
transfer the money. all in So bills,
from the mint to the bank. The
mint guards had just taken the
none to the curbing, turned over
to the bank employees and r~e-entered
the mint, when the bandits drove
up and stopped their car behind the
truck.
The bandits at once opened fire
on the main door Of the mint. Lin
ton was shot in the stomach and
died two and one-half hours later.
During the fight Il bandit stood
on the running board to fire a final
volley at the mint guards. A bullet
apparently hit MIN, for h ecrumpled
up and was dragged inside the mo-
tor car, which continued on It's way.

CARTERET, Dec. 19-Christmas
shopping plans of borough employees
received a serious setback last night
at the meeting of the borough coun-
Gil when bills and salaries were
held up through the absence of
three councilmen. The council did

thirty minutes after the regular
time for stated meetings of the body
to open. Councilmen Harmed, An
dres and Slugg we're absent. Those
present were Mayor Hermann and
Councilmen Lawlor, Child and
Brown. These constituted a quo
rum for the transaction OF ordinary
routine business but the payment of
bills, according to the custom of
the moroush requires that a ma
jority of theh various committees
In whose departments the bills
arise, be present and place their
signatures on thhe bills.
William j. Lawlor, president of
the council, took the position that
the absence of The three Republi-
can members was not coincidence,
but a bit of political maneuvering.
He scored the absent members Sc
vcrely, declaring that they did not
represent the Republican party of
the borough, but were the tools Of
= small ring politicians.
The ina passage of two ordi-
nances vacating paper streets IN
the tract being developed by the
Mexican Petroleum Corporation was
also laid over on account of the alb
Eence Of the three members.
An adjourned meeting will ne

appointment as sergeant in the po-

that the appointment was made
without consulting him. He is the

At Ditmas Tomorrow

A picture which combines mag
nifcent scenic beauty with a thrill
ing story is 1.-THE Valley of Silent
Men," adapted from James Oliver
Curwood's famous novel of the
same name as a Cosmopolitan pro-
duction. and released by Para
mount.
Those familiar with the novel,
which ran serially in Good House
keeping Magazine in 1920, will re-
call that it is a story of the Roya.
Northwest Mounted Police, with the
ocky Mountains for a background.
It is a picture of tremendous power,
Laring as 1t does the souls of five
men and a woman who are isolated
in a little narrow valley.
For the purpose of tmparting this
realism to the screen, the entire
company went to Banff, in the Can
adian Rockies, and there practically
every foot of the action raj enacted
and photographed. The result,
apart from the dramatic value of
the production, is a picture of I'M
surpassed scenic beauty.
The picture which was directed
by Frank Borzage. and which feat
ures Alma Rubens at the head of a
small but powerful cast, is coming
to- the Ditmas theatre tomorrow. 1t
is well worth seeing.

Vessels From Europe Have All
Cabins Filled With Ameri-
can Tourists.

With ships arriving by the half dozen
almost daily in this port, all loaded to
the last stateroom with returning Amer
leans, the shipping lines have been
pressed during the past week to handle
the large traffic, which has broken
many records for this port as far as
European passenger arrivals are con-
cerned On Friday more than 5000 re-
turning tourists arrived on five ships
and the same day seven vessels sailed
for Europe to take on others waiting to
return.
Because of the fact that the incoming
passenger traffic was so heavy the
speedy Mauretania CP-5) was forced to
postpone for a few weeks her attempt
Ito break the transatlantic speed record.
She will content herself with normal
speed just now to handle the large pas
senger lists, and when the brunt of the
rush is past will start on her fast run.
The Berengaria, also of the Cunard
Line, Is crippled, with but three screws
working, and is unable to go to dry dock
for lengthy repairs until the rush Is
over.
Sixty-four ships are at sea to-day
thirty-seven of them headed for Europe
and twentyseven bound for these
shores. each one crowded to the gun
wales with the tourists who have con-
centrated in European ports in the mad
rush for the United States. No other
season has seen the tremendous passen-
ger traffic and all records have been
broken during the past few months
The Cameronia Old, now on her
regular run to Glasgow after having
returned from the first Cunard summer
trip to Egypt, Palestine. the Continent
and the British Isles, sailed yesterday.
The giant Homeric E-2O also sailed
yesterday. The Majestic CH-l6. bound

RATE FORFEIT PACT
GRIPS SHIPS TIGHT
Violators of Far East Agree
ment Not Limited to $685.
900 Penalty.

A copy of the new Far East Confer
ence agreement obtained yesterday. re-
veals complicated machinery for the
detection and punishment of violations
of the esta blished tariffs. Contrary to
the general impression, the damages to
which party to the agreement may be
held liable are not limited by the sum
of the cash forfeit, S25 900. but may be
fixed at many times this figure.
BY common consent of steamship men
and shippers, the new form OF confer
ence organization, providing an appar-
entity alright control and regulation OF
ocean freight rates, is the most inn
portant development in the marine in
dustry of the year. The chances are
bright for its early adoption by the
Levant and Brazil and River Plate con-
ferences, and some predict its virtually
universal acceptance before 1928. Sum-
married, the more important of the
twenty-five clauses of the agreement are
as follows:
All forms of discrimination, including
rebates, faulty weights. absorption OF
rail or transshipment charges, are barred
and freight brokerage is restricted TO IA
per cent. on the amount of freight
earned by the initial carrier.
"Inasmuch as it will be impossible to
ascertain or measure the amount OF
damages which the parties hereto win
suffer by reason of the breach of this
agreement" it is agreed that the dam
ages will be fixed at four times the
money received by the violator for
transportation of the cargo with respect
to which the breach of the agreement
occurs, and this sum is to be distributed
pro rata among the other parties.
Charges of breaches of the contract
are to be sifted by the arbitration COM
mittee of the Produce Exchange, or a
special committee composed of member
chosen by the .,arty charged. member
chosen by the other parties and an UNI
pire selected ty the two. There Is no
appeal from the decisions of the COM
mittees except for fraud on the part of
the arbitrators. Judgments may be OBJ
tained in the State courts to satisfy the
awards of the committees.
The secretary of the conference, or
any one else designated by two-thirds
OF the members. is entitled to examine
any of the books, records, accounts and
documents of any party charged with
breach OF the agreement for the purpose
of adducing evidence in support of the
charge. Failure to produce the docu-
ments may be followed by the filing OF
complaint with the arbitration committee
and the assessment of further damages.
