and two seriously wounded in the
street.
The dead man was Charles W.
Clifford, driver of the Bank of
Buffalo's armored car. Lewis M.
warrington. a bank guard, was shot
In the abdomen, and John H. Mey-
ers, q bank messenger, was shot in
the arm. Warrington is not expected
pto recover.
The police are convinced that the
robber members of the bandit gang
that has been operating in this dis
trict for several months. Five wit
nesses identified the leader of the
gang through photographs as Harry
Harris, alias Garfield, who jumped
his bail bond of $4,000 in Detroit
two weeks ago. Two other members
OF Ihe robber band were identified
as Poalck Joe and Mike Sperazzi.
Detectives investigating the rob
berry believe the man who drove the
bandits automobile was Dutch An
derson, pal of Gerald Chapman. no.
torious criminal.
The money was being transferred
from the Federal Reserve Bank to
the Bank of Buffalo.
When the bank car drew up at
the Bank Of Buffalo entrance and
began to remove the currency two
robbers who had been standing near
the entrance opened fire. The other
gangsters began firing at the same
cine from the tonneau of the rob-
bers' machine which was parked
across the street from the bank
entrance. Pedestrians scurried into
doorways,
The bank guards and messengers
resisted and the robbers shot to kill.
Meyers refused to drop the package
containing the $4,000 and one rob-
Der grappled with him, finally shoot
ing him. Meanwhile, Clifford had
been shot dead and harrington, who
had opened fire, was dropped with
two wounds in his abdomen.
Selling the two packages of mon
ey the two men who were on foot
ran to the robbers car. One Drop
ped package when, it is believed,
he was shot in the wrist. The car,
containing the bandits, shot east on
North Division street and out of
sight.
The automobile they used was
found a short time later abandoned
and bullet riddled about q mile and
a half from the scene of the holdup.
Here another large automobile had
been planted which was used in con-
tinuing the fight.
According to police estimates to-
days brings the total loot in hold
ups attributed to the Harris gang to
nearly 100000.

League Council
Satisfied Fighting
Greeks, Bulgars Ended

Paris, Oct. 29-(AP)-Hasteni to
the scene of the Macedonian fighting
on special trains provided by the
Jugo- Slavian and Greek govern
ments. the allied military attaches
at Belgrade and Athens to succeed
in smoothing out the Greco-Bulgar-
ian conflict that the council of the
league Of nations was vastly aided
tonight in its work Of clearing up
the Balkan crisis.
Although another session will be
held at IL O'clock tomorrow morning
to receive final reports from the at
tache3 that evacuation has been COM
pleted, the council unanimously
adopted Austen Chamberlain's reso-
luton that the council was satisfied
hostilities had ceased, and that the
troops were Withdrawing, and for
mally appointed a committee of In
quiry to proceed to the spot and re-
port its findings to the December ses-
sion of the council.
Both Greek and Bulgarian repre-
sentatives assured the council that
their countries would accept the
commissions findings without quail
fication and give it every assistance
both at the frontier and in Athens
and Sonia.
The council resolution emphasizes
the wisdom of the commission study
ing measures to eliminate future
conflicts, and specifically instructs it
to ascertain the origin Of the recent
outbreaks and establish facts enabl-
ing the fixing Of responsibility. It
must also supply material for deter
mination Of reparations. It is stipu-
lated that all prisoners must be re-
leased and all confiscated property
restored.

TRAMP PRINTER"
STILL With US BUT j,
IS CHANGED IN TYPE

Indianapolis, Oct. 20 (AP)-The
tramp printer" that coiorful
character of great wanderlust. has
| not disappeared, in the opinion Of
James M. Lynch, president Of the Id.
ternational Typographical Union. and.
he offers records to prove it.
1.-THE type has changed but tAt
boomer is still with u.s." said Mr..
lynch. 1.-THE difference is that the
travelling type who once rode the
brake-rods and the blind baggage
now spins blithely along in his own
automobile and Is seldom financially
embarrassed.
Scarcely a day passes that a
newspaper somewhere in America
does not solemnly record the passing
of the last of the old time tramp
printers Some one is always try
ing to rob the present of the
picturesque in order to reflect
glamor on the past. The fact Is
that more travelling cards are being
issued to union printers today than
were issued at any time in the past
The tramp printer of the old days
was highly useful as we'll as ro-
mantle. He carried the printed word
into the dark places of the earth.
He came into contact with the best
minds of the age and travel broad
ened his outlook. Unfortunately his
mode of life tended to enlarge his
imagination and his travelogues
sometimes extended to freehanded
fiction, but he was genial, lovable
type and practically never vicious.
"The travelling printer of today
manages things much better. He is
seldom without money and he usually
studies conditions of business before
motoring into new and untrie1
fields. His union card establishes his
competency and he is assured of
work as a sub when he arrives in
a union town."

10 wi A0 Ah
mind that those who are not sun
GENTLY interested in their ewn
welfare to lay by certain portion
Of their earnings for the future do
not care enough about real success
ever to achieve any substantial
place in the affairs of men.
Before there can be success there
must be q desire to succeed, and
this desire must be so deep that it
overcomes every barrier. -.
A great many people whose in
comes are small excuse themselves
from practicing thrift on the plea
that they cannot save anything, and
maintain a good standard Of living.
While 1t MAY be true in some iso-
lated cases that circumstances over
which they have no control make it
impossible for them to get ahead in,
the world, these instances are ex.
ceptional and often are Of tenn
porary character. F,
The old saying that .where
there's a will there's q way" ap-
plies to the practice of saving
money. Those who do not save or
who think they cannot. are, to, q
great extent, not honest with them
selves. They are unwilling to make
certain sacrifices. Their minds are
biased by false pride or egotism.
Their viewpoint is incorrect. II
they would give the problem snfn-
cient study they would be able to
find ways by which they could save
something even though the amounts
be very small.
And upon ones ability to ana
such ways Of saving money, Do
rends ones chances Of success IN
life.
This is a phase OF the matter th&4
should be given the deepest con.
alteration. 8

William X, Bunker

William X. Bunker, in charge of the
harness shop at the prison, called as
the first witness in the probe. proved
uncertain and shaky in corroborating
his sworn affidavit and under the
skillful cross-examining by Attorney
Pattangall was vague regarding the
religious preferences Of convicts in the
dormitory and those acting at walters,
although in his first affidavit he had
sworn to the fact that Catholics pre-
dominated and were shown preferences
by officials.
He emphatically repudiated the
statement in his AFFIDAVIT to the effect
that prisoners wishing to be trans
ferred from one shop to another had
but to go to Governor" Fallon and If
he was a Catholic his request would be
granted. Regarding this point he
stated that he had not written the af-
fidavit himself. but 1t had been writ
ten by someone else and later read to
him. He had sworn to 1t later before
a notary.
He absolutely refused to divulge the
name Of the person who had written
the affidavit, and though, insisted upon
by Attorney Pattangall and urgently
requested by Governor Brewster and
several members Of the executive
council to tell the name Of the person
he remained silent on the question,
except for the fact that the person
was a resident of Rockland and not in
any way connected with the penal In
stitution.
He testified on direct examination
by Attorney General Raymond Fellows
to q general laxity Of conditions in the
prison, of too much conversation be-
tween the prisoners, and dwelt at
length upon former conditions at the
institution where he had been for IA
years in Charge Of the harness shop, as
compared with conditions to which he
had sworn in his affidavit.
He told of instances Of profanity by
the convicts and of favcrs shown GER

The Bulgarians retained their po-

attaches was heralded by bugles in
the Greek camp. The attaches went
forward to meet the Bulgar Colonel
Zlateff. They warned him not to dis

Already the attaches have begun

OF Greek troops engaged in the entire
operations was thought to be about

Woman Not on Equality With Mar
Writer Saws

The declaration that even in coun-
tries where woman has been given
the vote. her liberation" is far from
complete is made by w. L. George.
He says in part:
In the countries where woman has
been liberated, one may doub,
whether the liberation is complete. A
great deal of the ground won during
the war has been lost by women.
Most of the posts that women
gained were taken from them when
the soldiers returned, which was
just; but in cases where the places
OF dead men had to be filled the
vacancies were given, not to women
but to men. Thus, a great body of
unemployed women was created.
Competing as they must for
wages, they have brought down the
wages of women. Today, women
would have a harder struggle for life
than have men, il it were not that
their standard of living is lower. It
cannot be denied that many impor-
tant positions belong to women: the
United States supplies the instance
of an Assistant Attorney General
and several instances where women
have been chosen as State attorneys;
America has certain number of
women judges; England has chosen
a woman as Assistant National
Health Commissioner; a number OF
women occupy highly paid positions
in business.
"But this must not blind us to the
fact that If we consider each rank
in the professions, in business, or In
the public services, we find rather
less than one woman on an equality
with every 81 men. The reader will
imagine, therefore, what extraordi.
nary capacity a woman must stil1
show to obtain, not superior. but
merely equal rank.
ut is only fair to say that woman
does not as a rule exhibit this capa@
city, and that she is still suffering
from the subordination which was
enforced upon her during so many
centuries. Therefore, the future of
woman resides not so much In ree
volt as in actual training, in the
fitting Of the female sex for thS
positions to which it aspires."-Mct,
Calls Magazine. -. ~

stressed the fact that much Of his
affidavit was based on what he had
been told by officials and prisoners,
he specifically told of instances the
truthfulness Of which he could vouch
for himself. These dealt with laxtty
in discipline and immoral conditions
in the prison.
Witness after witness while sup
porting his sworn statement in the
main, was at times a bit unfamiliar
on the phraseology used and It was
brought out by Attorney William R.
Pattangall, counsel for Warden
Eaton, that in every instance the at
f1davits had not been composed by
them, but by some mysterious per-
son whost name they refused to
divulge.
The Qiestion Of compelling the
witnessed to reveal the Identity Of the
affidavit writing individual was dis

of the council, Attorney General
Fellows and Counsel Pattangall. At

Thomaston end Of the investigation
The opening hearing was original
ly scheduled for 10 A. NJ, but for
some reason was put over to the aft
ernoon. The Governor and Council
and prison commissioners took adj
vantage Of this by making an off,
cial inspection and tour Of the
prison.
Night Session
At a night session Chaplain Cliff
ford was cross examined regarding
the bringing Of narcotics into the
prison. He said many visitors were
permitted in the guardroom at the
same time with only one guard pres
ent and that prisoners had told him
most of the narcotics were struggled
in by these visitors. The chaplain
said upon demand Of a group Of pris-
oners a man had been released from
solitary confinement by the deputy
warden.
The last witness tonight was
Hiram Comstock. overseer in the
carriage department, who said the
prisoners, under the new system Of
self government, had done about as
they pleased and 1t had done no good
to report disrespect. He said the
deputy warden had granted the re-
quest Of a prisoner for five files to
practice throwing at target" and
that later a "trusty" reported that
the bars Of a cell were being sawed
apart. An. escape was narrowly
averted, Comstock said.
