1924 ROBIN HOOD
 WORKS IN BOSTON Lone HishWayman Wants Only
 "Yhe Company's Dough- EMPLOYES NOT ROBBED
Several Garages and Gas Stations ~Lcoted But in Each Instance Gun man Declines to Molest Working men There.

Boston, Sept. 20.--A Robin Hood bandit who announced that he only wanted ''The company's dough" !" held up four gasoline filling stations in adjoining towns on the northern outskirts of Boston last night. The similarity of the bandits methods convinced the police that in each case the robberies were committed by the same man, who they also say held up garage early this morning.
 All In Two Hours
 The robberies. which were com- mitted in Cambridge, Arlington, and Somerville, were accomplished with in space of two hours, The filling stations were within easy reaching distance of automobile within that period of time but the bandit in each case was able to conceal his approach and departure so that no description of an automobile was furnished the police. .. Talks As He Robs
 At the first filling station in Cam bridge which the bandit raided, he introduced himself suddenly to the two attendants, carrying revolver in each hand and remarking. T don't want your money, boys, I don't rob workingmen. only want the company's dough-" He then placed one revolver on convenient shelf and took $50 from the cash register. He kept up a constant chatter with the two attendants whom he had directed to stand against an opposite wall. When he had completed tthe errand, he slipped out and was lost in the dark.
 { Permitted Service
 | At Arlington, his second point of call, the bandit proceeded in the same manner. When an automobile came up to the station and the driver signalled for gasolene, the bandit directed one of the attend ants to attend 70 the customer, watching him through a window and continuing his operations at the cash register, The attendants told in whisper the driver of the car of the hold-up. The gangster, taking a re- volver, went to meet the bandit, but seeing a man whom he decided was a lookout for the bandit he covered him with his weapon.
 Was Only Bystander
 The garage owner, however, found out that the supposed lookout wal an innocent bystander. The bandit meanwhile slipped out of the filling station and walked over to another less than a hundred yards away That station he also held up success fully and then disappeared in the dark. He added one more raid tt his record and again safely escaped in spite of wide spread alarm.
 At late hour the police wer' scouting the district in automobile' but no trace of the bandit was found

Good Samaritan IS Murdered By
 Conuict Whom She Had Assisted
Robber, Released Through Her Influence, Visits Her Pasadena Home, Beats
 and Shoots Her, Then Steals $2O,OOO in Gems.

Pasadena, Calf, Sept. 20.--Mrs. Clifton R. Hum, wife of wealthy Chicago business man, was killed last night by an ex-convict she once befriended, who police said smashed her head with hammer, shot her through the heart, and footed her apartment of gems valued at $2O.- 900.
 Police today were seeking as Mrs. Hunn's slayer, Harry Connor, alias Harry Garbutt, who, according to detectives, was released from an Illinois prison through her influence after serving part of a sentence for robbery, and who was aided with her money to start life anew after leaving his cell.
 Witnessed the Staying
 F. R. Gibson, a cousin of the slain woman, was in the apartment when Connor called late yesterday and was invited to stay for dinner. He told police the ex-convict locked him in the bathroom and then turned on his hostess and killed her.
 Gibson said he escaped from the bathroom and reached the front door only in time to find Mrs. Hunn's body on the threshold and to see her slayer flee down the street.
 His story was corroborated by Virginia Hum, 8 year old adopted daughter of the murder victim, who witnessed the killing.

 PARTY AND VOTE REPUBLICAN Cox Of Mass. Warns Against Advance Of La Toilette ADDRESSES CONVENTION
Declares in Boston Speech That Vote For La Toilette is a Vote For Bryan-ForIner Would Hamstring Courts, He Asserts.

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 20.---A plea to patriotic men and women" to "oyerstep party lines and put the good of their country above every other consideration" in the forth coming election in order ito meet the threat which the La Toilette $rogram presents" was made by Governor Charming H. Cox in his address as permanent chairman at the republican state convention here today.
 Assails La Toilette.
 ''He is no dreamer of dreams" he said in referring to Senator La Fol- lette, mo visionary fired with holy zeal, stasing his all in behalf of prin ciple. He is a practical politician of masterly attainments in that field. No one knows better than he that there can be no possible com- bination of circumstances which would permit his election as presi- dent. he knows his power to prevent the election of one other than his choice and so he has plan- ned his next move"
 Would Vote For. Bryan.
 Governor Cox asserted that if the election should be thrown into the senate, La Toilette "and his coterie of senators" would vote for the democratic nominee for vice presi- dent. Charles w. Bryan, as their choice for president and added:
 Discusses Bryan
 Here is the scheme to enthrone Bryanism in this country. Herein lies the danger in this campaign The people must see the issue clearly. We may all subscribe to what his friends claim for him, that the democratic nominee for presi- dent is gentleman of charming personality but we have yet to find any reasonable men in his party or elsewhere who have impressed us with their sincerity of belief that the charming gentleman has any chance of election. The situation must be understood by all and then they must act with full knowledge and accept the responsibility. h order that no good citizen may waste his vote let him understand the truth.

In another instant the horses were
cleaying the sky with their wings and
leaving behind the castle, from which
they could hear a great tumult and
shouting arise.
The princes were running about
madly seeking the one who had stolen
the princess, and the king sat as If

searched high and low, but not
trace Of the princess could be
found. Far away, mere speck in the
midnight sky, the dwarf was urging
his horses to their home in the crest
of the great Black mountain, where
no one could scale the walls to rescue
any prisoner.
Jem held on silently. The rush of
air made his head swim, but he
wrapped his arms and legs around
the seat posts, and was carried safely
along with the princess. About dawn
the horses stopped on rock and the
dwarf took the princess into stone
chamber, which stood thousand feet
above the valley below.

dwarf as he placed the frightened girl
