BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS. October 29.-Two
masked robbers entered the ST. Claud
avenue branch OF the Interstate Bank
and Trust Company late yesterday,
took $3.50 in currency, forced a
woman teller, the manager and To-
year-old boy into the vault and
escaped in an automobile which was
waiting in front of the bank with a
third man at the wheel.
The men, wearing white handker-
chiefs on the lower part Of their
faces. entered the bank with drawn
revolvers compelled Mrs. L. p. Grace,
paying teller: Henry Lobit, manager,
and Fred Erickson, young bookkeep-
er, to throw up their hands. AS Mrs.
Grace complied, she pressed her foot
on a button on the floor to send in
an alarm, but the wires of the burg
lar system had been cut by the rob-
berS.
One of the bandits entered the
cage and, after picking up all the
currency in sight, forced the en-
ployes into the vault and attempted
to lock the door but failed, as the
chairs and other Office furniture
against the door, the bandits returned
to their car and escaped. Several
thousand dollars in d drawer was
overlooked.
4 few moments after the bandits
departure the imprisoned employees
succeeded in opening the vault door
and notified the police.

Attaboy Like Greek Cry.
Even those players who had no gift
of eloquence expressed their souls in
dithyrambic cries like the Greek
"Evoe?" which sounded to me like
"Attaboy" / confess that ] am not
enough of a Greek scholar to trans

lating ejaculation.
What is both surprising and de-
lightful is that the spectators are
allowed and even expected to Join
in the vocal part OF the game. / do
not see why this feature should not
be introduced into cricket. There is
no reason why the wicket keeper
should not incite the bowler to
heroic exertions by combined taunt-
ing and coaXing or why the held
should not try to put the batsman
off his stroke at the critical moment
by neatly timed disparagemcnts OF
his wife's fidelity and his mothers :

1t is true that the English cricket
er would not do it exactly IN the
same way. He would cry Get your
hair cut" or Take Oft that paper
collar" or "Eeavcr." but the lntcn-
tion and the effect would be the same.
And the spectators could let them
selves go utterly, rivalling each other

An indication of the intense inter

Another feature was the apparent
early voting of the members of the

JUDGE TELLS JURY TO
 DEAL STERNLY WITH
 THOSE WHO DEFY LAWS

WALLA WALLA, April 1O-After opening the grand jury session ot the United States district court here to- day, Federal Judge Stanley Webster delivered a scathing criticism of those who seem to think little of violating laws and called upon the jury to deal relentlessly with those convicted re- gardless of their station in life. The judge made particular reference to the liquor and narcotic laws, with which the jury will largely deal. There are several cases on the calendar and sev- eral more persons are expected to be indicted at this term of court.
 Judge Webster talked for about an hour. A few naturalization cases were handled thereafter and more will come up this afternoon.

YARMOUTH, Apr. 10-How the captain of a former Cuban gunboat, liquor laden, converted his craft into a spiritburner while a gale threat ened to swamp the vessel was told yesterday when the Maria limped into port with her decks Uttered with the remnants of 700 cases of alcohol which had been burned in the furn- aces when the coal supply was eX- hausted. The liquor fuel was valued at SIS per gallon.
 The Maria sailed from Havana twenty -four days ago with 10000 cases of assorted liquors bound for St. Pierre. The Maria ran before the gal efor into the Atlantic. It was found that the coal supply was eX- hausted and the food supply was al most gone.
 Even with this expensive fuel the best speed maintained was but four knots an hour. The crew was half starved when they dropped anchor.

There has been too much of an at
