LIGHTS TURNED
ON AS BANDITS
BLOW UP SAFE
Take Time in Robbing Bank,
But Only Get $500 For
Work, Reports Say
KEEP CITIZENS
Warn Them to Remain in
Beds While the Robbery
Is Being Completed

Wykoff, Mimi, Sept. 30.-Eight
men. armed with high-power rifles
and sawed-off shotguns, took posses
sion of this village of 500 population
between and o'clock this morning
and while part Of the band patrolled
the streets, firing unfortunately
in all directions and, ordering the
citizens to remain out Of sight, the
others, working in the full glare of
electric lights, blasted their way in
to the vault of the Exchange State
Bank, cracked the safe and escaped
with $500 in cash.
The robbery probably was the most
daring of many committed in Mimi
esota in the last two years.
The bandits, all unmasked, drove
into the village a few minutes before
a. m. and with clock-like precision
took possession of the town. After
parking their car at the southern
outskirts of the village, the gang
split up in groups and each group,
apparently working On pre-arrang-
ed plan, set about some particular
task. One group proceeded to the
telephone office where the incoming
and outgoing cables were cut while
another group cut the telegraph
wires. A third group went to the
town hotel where night light had
been left burning. They raped on
1s,1n
wife Of the proprietor responded, told
her to turn off the lights and see to
it that her guests stayed in their
rooms, as the bank was going to be
robbed and that the gang did not
want any interference. All groups
then reassembled in from. Of the
bank and sent volley of shots into
the air to arouse and intimidate the
populace.
Force Entrance
Three men then set to work forcing
entrance info the bank building while
others marched up and down the
principal streets shouting warnings
to keep lights out and keep under
cover. The appearance of a light
was signal for shots from sawed-off
shotguns.
When the outside burglar alarm
began to clamor it's warnings the
men entering the bank promptly ST.
fenced it with a fusillade of six
shots. Once inside the building the
bandits turned on all the electric
lights and began work on the vault
door. This set off the inside burg
lar alarm which was shot to pieces
with rifle. Six charges of nitro
glycerine were exploded. The first
took off the vault door, wrecked the
interior Of the office and shattered
the two large plate glass windows.
Open Money Safe
Two charges opened the money
safe and three more shattered the
inner safe door. While these explo-
sions were being set off, Miss Ra-
mona Sherman and Miss Frances
Bratiud, school teachers, living in a
building directly across the street,
got up and turned on a light. Three
shotguns shattered the windows of
their rooms and some of the shots
narrowly missed the women. The
teachers complied with the bandits
request and shut off the lights. The
home of Lawrence Ferguson, proprie-
tor of grocery store, also drew
fire from the bandits guns when he
turned on light and started to in
vestigate.

Editors note: This is anoth-
err in the series Of articles touch
ing upon city finances as they
affect the taxpayers Of Bismarck.
Comparison of expenditures in the
police department of Bismarck with
that of other cities shows that ex-
penses under this item are in line
with cities of this size. Despite the
fact the chief of police is paid $500
a year more here than in some other
cities of the state, it is believed that
other economies are effected in this
department that more than make up
for this increase over what is paid
in other cities.

NShCSo, ocPS' oO.-\Dy Tile ~. III
A complete accord was reached today
by the three statesmen entrusted
with the task of finding solution
of the difficulty brought about by
the presentation by the Japanese Of
an amendment to the protocol on
arbitration and . security, and the
agreement reached is satisfactory to
the Japanese.
This was divulged by NJ. Loucheur,
French member of the committee.
The committee, composed in addi-
ton to NJ. Louch eur of Sir Adric
Hurst of England and Signor Scialia
of Italy with M. Apachi present met
in private conference in the palace of
the League of Natpns and examined
the various formulas designed to
solve the Japanese difficulty which
had been pledged during the night by
committeeman.
A few minutes before M. Loucheur
made his announcement that the COM
mittee was gradually making pro-
gress in celebrating the text of one
formula, which, it was hoped, would
so revise the protocol on arbitration
and security, as to meet the objec-
tions of the Japanese, and the views
of the delegation opposed to the Jap
anese position.
Accord Reached
Signor Scialia told the CORE
Snopdents this morning that the &C.
cord that had been reached would be
presented to the subcommittee of the
juridicial commission. Many dele
gates, while seeing justice in the
Japanese amendment, say they would
be obliged to vote against, Japan if
it came to direct issue, because
they believe the Japanese amend
ment constitutes serious blow to
the idea Of state sovereignty which
they say has ruled the world for
ages and is the very foundation of
international order.
Japanese Objection
The Japanese emphasized yesterday
their objection to the covenant as
permitting an escape from an inter-
national investigation under pretext
that the matter involved is exclusive
ly within the national competency of
state. This is true, the Japanese
declared, even if the question in
volved strikes blow at the national
honor and vital interests al the 9TH
er countries. They pointed out that
the protocol was objectional because,
after refusing the possibility of
pacific procedure to state whose
case had been thrown out of court,
it goes to the extent of claiming this
state an aggressor should it resort
to measures to defend its legitimate
interests. This. they claim would
protect country which rejects the
supremacy of international justice
while simultaneously condemninG a
nation which merely asks for i'm
partial application Of justice.
Toxic, Sept. Dolby the A. PD-
Japanese insistence on an amend
ment to the proposed protocol of ar
bitration and security now before the
League of Nations is based wholly
on the legal, not the immigration,
phase Of the question and differences
to the contrary are far-fetched, ac-
coring to official views obtained
here today.
Apparent interference on the part
of newspapers and officials and the
manner in which the press avoided
any previous reference to the sub
ject were the most remarkable char
acteristic of Japan's reception of the
pronouncement of Japanese delegates
at Cleveland.

Recommendations of Taxpay.
ers Committee Calls For
Saving of $5,245.0O

The city commission. in meeting
last night, adopted the budget or
dinance for the fiscal year, which
began September l. The budget pro-
vides for a total of $98,313.OO for
city expenses of which $73,558.OO is
listed as general fund expense and
$25,755.0O is carried for interest and
sinking fund.
The budget ordinance in amount
is as originally introduced two
weeks ago. One change was made
by the city commission, the contin-
gent fund being cut from $500 to
$3.50 and an item of $3.50, the diff
ference, added for assessment.
Commissioner Larson said this was
because of doubt as to legal powers
of the city auditor to do the assess
ing.
Proposals for reduction in items
of the budget totalling $5,245.OO
were submitted to the commission
by group of taxpayers who have
been investigating city finances,
through Commissioners Thompson.
The proposed reductions were turn
ed down by the commission, and the
budget amount not reduced.
