BANDITS FO|LED
BY v|G|LANTES

WAVELAND, Ind. Feb. 6 GIN.
SD.-Vigilantes defeated a gang
of bank robbers in a desperate gun
battle that ragged in this little
town of 600 inhabitants early to-
day.
Bandits, variously estimated at
from six to ten, tried in vain to
obtain the money in the vault OF
the State Bank of Waveland. So
fierce was the resistance Of the
vigilantes that they were driven
out without obtaining cent.
The nine blasts of nitroglycerin
fired by the robbers and the
bullets fired during the gun bat
tie wrecked the bank with an
estimated loss of $500.
More than 100 shots were fired
in the encounter, which lasted
for nearly an hour after the rob
bers had seized control Of the
town.
1t was believed the bandits
wore uniforms, consisting of white
trousers, SO that they would not
shoot each other.

The state has not had a Demo- cratic Governor since 1891. In re- cent years Wisconsin has failed but twice to give its vote to Re- publican Presidential candidates, voting for Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and for Senator LaFollette in 1924.
 The LaFolletts faction has been consistently at odds with RepubM- can National Administrations, and in 1928 gave it's endorsement to Alfred E. Smith. Prohibition was g, leading issue in the campaign of the year, the Progressives fa- voring repeal. &
 Forecasts of WiSconSins vote in the coming National election were complicated by the recent primar- ies in which former Gov. Walter J. Kohler, Conservative, defeated Gov. Philip F. LaF'ollette for re- nomination by heavy majority.
 Senator John J. Blaine, running on the LaFollette ticket, was de- feated by John B. Chapple, Con- servative editor.

SUCCESSOR TO LINT HICUM IS
 BIG QUESTION
Three Men Loom as Lead CT of Anti-P rohibition
 Bloc in House
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. = The death of Representative Linthi- cum, long member of the House from Maryland, immediately gave rise to speculation as to who would succeed him as leader of the anti prohibition bloc in the House.
 Linthicum had chung to his leadership of this group for many years. Aligning himself with the block back in the days when anti prohibition sentiment was not rated so strong as it is today and at a time when most members of Con- gress eyed the organization with some misgivings, he had fought quietly but persistently for a pro- hibition change.
 It was the dignfied, gray haired MaryIander's idea that the fight should be kept on high plane all ways. His strategy was to attack prohibition on such issues as in fringement of states rights, await a possible shift in sentiment. and take advantage of every opportun- ity to impress on the country the need for a change.

John H. Newman has opened a stamp business in Juneau, handling the Poole line of United States loose leaf albums, and the Mod ern" and International Junior" which are especially suited for chil- dren and beginners; with a good stock of packets and single stamps, besides hinges, tongs, and other stamp accessories.
 He has fine display of stamps and accessories at the J. B. Bur ford and Company's store.
 Number Steadily Increases
 "The number of stamp collectors in the United States has steadily increased" MT. Newman said, "es- pecially during the last five years, until now a conservative estimate would probably place the number at three million A great many schools, recognizing the educational value of the hobby have encouraged the organization of stamp clubs with members of the faculty di- rscting their activities. All mem bers of President Hoover's family, Governor Roosevelt, King George V, King Carol of Rumania and many other famous persons are stamp collectors.
 Increase in Value
 Many stamps increase in value from year to year, but the money side of the hobby should not be stressed too much by the begin ner, because if it is he loses much of the real fun and educational interest.
 q shall be glad to advise par ents in selecting albums and stamps;; also any who may have old stamps which may be of value For the present I shall conduct my business from my suite in the MacKinnon Apartments"

w. K. Keller seeks the extension of the Smith-H Hughes Act to Alaska. By the provisions of this act the Federal Government assists the States to finance vocational edu- cation. Alaska needs vocational work in connection with the schools, making it possible for the high school students to learn a trade and earn living. If his act can be extended to Alaska, approxi- mately thirty thousand dollars would become available for yoca- tional couress, making it unneces- sary for parents to send their children outside to secure this work. Keller is a candidate for reelection and deserves support for his constructive work.
