POLICEMAN AND GET
AWAY WITH $4,000

OF persons heplessly watched, five
automobile bandits shot and killed
a patrolman, probably fatally wound
ed a bank messenger and escaped
with satchel containing $40 900
which the two We're carrying to-
night.
The hold-up took place on a
brightly lighted street in front of
the Calumet National bank in the
heart of the South Chicago business
district. The robbers made no ef-
fort at concealment and paid no at
tention to the passing crowds.
The two victims, Patrolman Err
nest H. Cassidy and Phillip SOM
mers, were taking the weeks coll
lections of the Royal Building and
Loan association to the bank TO de-
post. AS they were about to enter,
large automobile containing five
men abruptly drew up at the curb.
While one man remained at the
wheel the four others leaped out
and; with pistols in their hands,
halted the two carrying a satchel
containing the money.
Patrolman Cassidy reached for his.
pistol, but as he did so two of the
robbers opened fire, shooting him
through the head. His weapon,
drawn. fell to the sidewalk. At the
same time Sommers drew his pis-
tol and before he could fire he was
shot through the abdomen. The
robbers then seized the satchel and
fled in the car.

This afternoon the second tank
boiled over, sending floods of burn

tracks and the Sapulpa Tulsa high
way. The heat from the burning
crude oil was SO intense that rail-

the flames which had spread over

to permit temporary repair Of the

Of district sNo. z. 1t was evidently
an attempt of the mines owners to
disrupt the morale Of the strikers,
Charges that several ofAthe larger
anthracite operators were violating
provisions of the suspension agree
ment today brought threats from
district labor chiefs that they would
withdraw the 5000 men assigned to
protect mine property during the
shutdown.
The charges were made by Mr..

charging union men left on duty as

Discuss New Charges
The b-committee's wage discus

today to settle this phase of the

of the committee denied knowledge
of such dismissal of union maintcn-
ance men.

government ownership as impossible

Miners know that they can not
hope to get more than 215 days work

"and that part time operation tends
to increase its scope year efter year.

preston cannot be overcome by cut-
ting wages and further reducing the
purchasing power of labor. The nom

traI observer. the public will have to
foot the bill"
''The industry itself was tremen-
dously wasteful," he asserted, "in its
operation and likewise
operators got used to large margins
of profits during the war and want
to retain them,' in general. He de-
clared that neigther the anthracite
nor the bitunlinous miners had 'se-
cured wage scales which kept pace |

SMALL WANTS JURY
OF WOMEN To HEAR
CONSPIRACY CHARGES
[RepubIlcan A. 2. Leased Wlrel

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel
WAUKEGAN, Ills, April 3-Governor
Len Small wants women to sit on the
jury which will try him here on
charges of conspiring with Fred e.
Sterling, lieutenant governor and
Vernon Curtis, a Grant Park banker,
to embeZzle state funds.
Today the governor attacked the
Legality of the jury panel because the
Lake county board of supervisors had
failed to include the names of women
voters in it.
Taken by surprise, attorneys for
the state obtained 4S hours delay TO
prepare their answer.
Attorneys for the governor read an
affidavit signed by him asserting
that the board of supervisors had
failed to comply with the legal re-
qulrements that names of 10 per cent
of the qualified voters be placed in
the jury box and had. in fact. listed
only 10 per cent of the male voters,
ignoring the women.
Werner Schroeder Of the defense
counsel, declared that even though
1T should be held that women may not
sit on the jury, the supervisors should
have compiled a venire based on the
number of votes cast by both men
and women. He cited a long list of
court decisions in other states in sup
port of the contention that women
may serve on juries,
Should the governors contention
be upheld by Judge Claire C. Edwards
and women seated. the Lake county
court house may have TO be remod-
eled before the trial can be held. The
court house has one large dormitory
with IL single beds for jurors. and.
as Illinois law forbids separation of
Jurymen. some arrangement would
have to be made to furnish privacy
for the women jurors.
Judge Edwards has already an
nounced that the jury will be con-
fined throughout the trial which is
expected to last anywhere from three
to five months.
