BANDITS STAGE REAL OLD WESTERN HOLDUP
Shoot Up Town And Escape With
 S15,000 Bank Loot

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Six armed bandits today shot up the town of Summit, a suburb. terrorized em- ployes and officials of the Summit State bank, scooped about $15,000 cash and liberty bonds and made their escape, after engaging in a pis- tol duel with policemen who tried Go halt them.
 It was the fourth time in six years that the bank has been robbed. The first time robbers obtained s40,000. the second time they got $20.000 and the third time about S11,000.
 Two cashiers, two girl clerks and two patrons were in the bank today when a large green touring car drew up outside. Five men leaped out of the car flourishing pistols, leaving a sixth at the wheel of the car. They ran for the bank firing as they en- tered. With the employees and pa1 irons cowed. the bandits hastily seized all the valuables in sight
 As they hurried from the bank, a grocer across the street opened fire with pistol, while other citizens soon appeared with shotguns. In the exchange of shots one of the bandits is believed to have been hit

WEATHER ER'S ANTICS PUZZL|NG EXPERTS
Extreme Heat And Drought Last Summer, Unusual
 Warmth For This Season

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Freak weather conditions, which have con- tinted for more than a year. hav- the weather experts in Washington baffled. The chiefs of the weather bureau, always conservative, fall back on their stereotyped phrase that all seasons are abnormal.
 Scientists in other departments are equally unable to answer the present weather riddle, with butterflies in New England and Canada and Wash ingtonians gathering radishes and roses.
 From all over the country come re- ports of mild December, with blooming plants and flowers, and in- sects that ought long ago, according to rule, have been laid up for the winter.
 Attention is called to the strange succession of weather events for many months past. The early part of last winter was characterized by mildness, although not so pronounced as that of this year. The latter part however, was notable for severe cold in many parts of the country, fol- lowed by some of the heaviest snows remembered for years, especially in the eastern and northeastern part of the United States.
 This was followed by a late spring which suddenly changed to extremely hot summer. But while the sizzling process was on in the United States, eastern Europe was experiencing one of the coldest seasons in years. When cooler weather struck Europe sud denly commenced to bake in an un- precedented hot wave.
 The summer was notable for drouths all over the country. The weather bureau reports a normal but this came in hard show CTS and during the summer there were scarcely any protracted rains to saturate the soil and give it fertility
 Mild as the early winter season is, it was preceded by unduly early frosts which injured the northern wheat crops and even cut into the middle western corn product.
 In the meantime. Canada's mild weather is interfering with winter sports. St. Paul and Minneapolis which frequently begin building ice palaces at this time, now report sIring weather, while butterflies. stray mosquitoes and even migratory birds are reported to be ignoring the cale ndar
 Reporting a most unusual trip as far as weather was concerned, Capt. krol brought the Holland liner into port yesterday after touch- ing at Halifax. The captain said weather conditions were extraordi- nary for this season, with smooth seas and sunshine for the entire ten days of the voyage Passengers strode the open decks without wraps.

New York Pastor Had Broad- cast Quaint Letter From Mother In SaItiIlo, Mexico

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Radio was instrumental in sending a merry Christmas to an anxious mother in Saltino, capital of Coahuila, Mexico, yesterday when an appeal broadcast over the country in her behalf re- suited in finding her missing son.
 The Rev. J. Lane Miller, pastor of the Hanson Place Methodist Episco- pal church, Brooklyn, mentioned the mothers distress in the course of a radio sermon he preached for the New York Federation of Churches week ago Sunday at station WEAF. In it he bespoke cooperation of the great radio audience. As result the wanderer turned up last Saturday. He told pr. Miller that Venezuelan friend, who was a radio enthusiast, had intercepted the broadcast pro- gram. Incidentally, it seemed, he had been responsible for the Venezuelan's originally taking up English. pr. Miller immediately had the youth telegraph his mother on the Rio Grande in time for Christmas. He was Rosendo, or Raymond Gonzales. 25 years old, employed in labora- tory at No. 340 West Fourth street.
 pr. Miller said yesterday that he had first met Gonzales in Johnstown. Pa., several years ago when ne was doing welfare work there. partieu lar1y among young Mexicans and other foreign born employed in the steel industry. Gonzales had been with the Cambria Steel company and pr. Miller recalled assistance he had rendered the youth in his attempt to educate himself at night.

EARLY BONUS SEEN As DEMAND GROWS
House Vote In January Re- gardIess Of Tax, Predicted
 By Leaders

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA House vote on the soldiers bonus by the end of January, regardless of the administrations tax revision program is the demand of the group of re- publican representatives who are war veterans.
 Petitions are in circulation calling for a conference of republican mem Ders Of the House on the night of January 10. Under the proposed call. no business except the bonus would come up. and it is the plan of those oehind the movement to have the conference instruct the ways ana means committee to report bonus bill not later than January 21. The conference also would be asked to agree to immediate consideration of the measure by the House, once ii receives committee approval.
 The plans of the former service men in measure fit in with those Of republican members of the ways and means committee, which has ju- risdiction over both the tax and bonus bllls. The committee has been con- sldering administrative provisions of the revenue bill with the understand ing that before any study of the pro posed rate changes is begun a decision will be reached as to whether a bonus bill should be reported.
 Executive committee session on the tax bill have been suspended until Thursday, when the measure again will be taken up.
 With sentiment in the House over whelmingly in favor of passage of a bonus bill even opponents of the leg lslation concede that the conference will instruct the ways and means committee to report bill and will be inclined to give the measure right of way in the House.
 Such action, it was generally agreed today, will clear the way for a show down, in the ways and means commit tee at least, on the tax question. The text of the treasury's tax bill, which Secretary Mellon had estimated would reduce taxes 323,000,0 900 annually, was made public yesterday by Chair man Green. The draft follows closely the lines which MT. Mellon had an nounced his department favored.
 Representative Garner of Texas ranking democrat on the committed has announced he will offer for com mittee consideration tax revisions of the treasury. He has indicated that he is in accord with number of the administrators proposals, but be- lieves many of the essential recom- mendations are faulty.

 pr. Miller said he had learned that Mrs. Valdes was a member of the mission conducted at Saltillo by the Methodist Episcopal church, south.
 At the regular radio service which the New York Federation of Churches broadcasts weekly at station WEAFi Dr. Miller as preacher for the day two Sundays ago cited the mother love incident in a sermon on Keep ing the Christ in Christmas" He comme nded her unhappiness to the sympathies of all who might be list ening to his voice, and asked any who could to help.
 His mail the next few days. he said, was filled with replies, some with suggestions, others with assurances that Mrs. Valdes was remembered in their prayers. But the trail seemed to be growing cold, he said, when during dictation Saturday of the ser mon he delivered yesterday the tele- phone in his study rang.
 T am Rosendo Gonzales" came a voice.
 When Gonzales reached the pas toral study in Brooklyn he seemed much affected by the sight of his mothers letter and eagerly acted up- on pr. Miller's suggestion that he get off wire post-haste to Saltillo.
 He told the minister that after leaving Johnstown he had drifted. He had just returned from journeying gypsy-wise over various parts of the world bringing up in Germany where he had promptly got his fill of condi- tions there, and working his passage back as stoker, had landed in New York scarcely month ago.
 Strolling along upper Broadway Friday evening he said he had en- countered Ralph Garcia. the Vene- zuelan, who lived nearby at No. I24 West 11th street. and had once la bored side by side with Gonzales in Jehnstown. Garcia disclosed the startling mention of Gonzales namo which he had picked up on his re- ceiving set. The telephone call to pr. Miller followed the next day.
