PUT UP FOR CONGRESS
 BY DEMOCRATS
E. B. DickersOn, Chicago Lawyer, To Oppose
 Madden In Illinois

NEW YORK, June 22.-Breaking all precedents, democrats have put up 4 negro for Congress.
 The Illinois state committee held meeting here Sunday and agreed upon Earl B. Dickerson of Chicago, a negro, as a candidate for Congress against Representative Martin B. Madden, re- publican.
 The negro was substituted as the democratic Congressional candidate in the first Illinois district because of the illness of James Doyle, who was nomi- mated at the primary. Dickerson is as- sistant corporation counsel in Chicago under Mayor Dever, is a graduate of the University of Illinois and Chicago university, a member of the American Legion and well known leader among those of his own race.
 This is the first time the democratic party has put up a negro for Congress. The first Illinois district has q large negro population and normally is two. thirds republican. But in the recent republican primaries negro ran against Madden for the republican nomination and received 5000 votes against 5000 for Madden. The illness of Doyle gave democrats a chance to take advantage of the showing by the republican negro and put up a democratic negro candi- date.
 The selection has the sanction of George Brennan, the Illinois democratic boss, who has a large following among negroes because of his anti-klan activity. Negroes have sent him many telegrams since he arrived here with the announce ment that he would demand a plank specifically denouncing the. klan. Hi nois democratic leaders believe this will be reflected in large democratic vote at the next election, hence the placing of Dickerson on the ticket.

MAIL 'BANDITRY
 ALARMS CAPITAL; MARINES TINTED
Inside Dope Is Official Theory Of Chicago
 HOldup
By THOMAS L. STOKES (By Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)

(By Leased wire TO Tne Age-HeraluB
 WASHINGTON, June 22.-The mail bandit, back at his old game again, is. taking stakes in the newest out break which is alarming officials here, who are puzzling their heads over some way to meet the new attacks. It may become necessary to put the marines back on the trains again but officials are opposed to that except as last re- sort.
 In less than three months, postal robbers have secured loot totaling around $3,2S5,000, in q series of at tacks whose boldness rival any made in the old stagecoach days in the west. If the hold-ups continue on the same scale, they will surpass the banner year for postal highwaymen in the past, 1920, when over $6;000,000 was footed from the mails.
 A Chicago Climax
 The series of robberies this year, which did not start until March 25; had their climax in the ill the s, ,000,- GOO hold-up on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.. Paul express a few days ago.
 
 stick-up, however, was not as large as the highest stake in the sensational series in 1920, which was $3,500, ,000, taken from train between Omaha and Council Bluffs on November 13. Off, ficials here are taking that into con sideration, and want to stop the busi- ness now in order to kill this latest flare-up.
 For two years, postal robberies have been cut down to almost nothing. The outbreak in 1920 was followed by an- other in the early part of 1921, not as costly, but with a number of sensa- tional attacks.
 In April of that year, Postmaster General Hays put marines on the trains and stationed them at postoffices with fixed bayonets. This stopped the highwaymen, and there has been no serious trouble until March 20, this year, starting the series which has cost already $3 ,285,000. The marines were removed from the trains in March, 1922.
 "TOO Jealous"
 Officials do not want to use the marines again. There were several ac- cidents, in which innocent men were injured, and one killed, farmer at Shreveport, La, who was shot by a marine because he refused to move away from the side of a railroad car. Marines are a little too zealous for such work, in the opinion of postal officials, and would be used only as a last resort.
 "Inside" aid was responsible for the $3,000,000 robbery, it was shown by an investigatiOn. Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett said. He has ordered a thorough housekeeping" throughout the postal service to find the guilty parties.
 The robbery opening the series this year was the hold-up of an aged postal messenger in the Harvey station of the Illinois Central railroad at Chicago, March 25. Two sacks of registered mail, valued at $15OO00, were seized. The next was at Indiana Harbor, Ind, May 10, when seven bandits held up five post office officials and took four mail pouches, the contents valued at $35 O00.
 On June II, truck carrying $100,- 900 worth of jewelry, was held up in New York by ten young bandits, who Kidnapped the driver and escaped with the entire load of jewels,
