$4,000 TAKEN
IN BANK H0LDUP
Robbers Believed to Be
st. Paul Express
Theft Gang.
By I nitcd Press

ny r Htff - ffNN
AMERY. Wis, Sept. 13-Four
heavily armed men, believed to be
members of a gang which conduct
ed an express robbery in st. Paul,
held up the Union State bank to-
day and escaped with loot estimated
at s35 1000.
Description of the men tailed ex-
actly with those of four men sur
prised near Hayward, Wis, Tuesday,
while they we're burying a strong
box seized in the st. Paul robbery
The quartet apparently spent the
night in the bank. At 7:50 a. m.
today Clifford Olson, assistant
cashier, met them when he opened
the bank and was forced to unlock
all boxes in the safe deposit vaults.
Three of the bandits leisurely looted
the bank, while the fourth slipped
out to bring their automobile to the
front door.
The bandits wore while handker-
chief masks about their faces, just
as did the eight men who perpe-
trated the st. Paul robbery. Sew
eral times they mentioned that
their driver would return at $40
a. m.
After $4,000 in currency and $25,-
600 in securities, about half non
negotiable, had been placed in
leather brief cases, the bandits left
the bank at $50 a. m, right on
schedule.

100000 MARCH
IN NRA PARADE
Breath Taking Evidence of
Loyalty to President Is
Given by New York.
BY JOHN r. BEAL
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The placid
breadth of Fifth avenue resounded
today to the martial tread of a
quarter million people, when the
greatest parade in American his
tory drummed up the long avenue
in a breath-taking demonstration
of confidence in President Roosevelt
and his national recovery program.
More than 100000 marched. but
at least double that number massed
on the f1ag-spangled sidewalks and
in the main reviewing stands be-
tween the carved lions of the public
library where Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, General Hugh S. John
son, Governor Herbert Lehman and
dignitaries represented city, state
and federal governments.
On the stately street was con-
centrated almost all the city's &C
tivities of the afternoon. Stock
and commodity exchanges had
closed, banks we're reduced to skele-
ton stats, and other employers I'M
der the blue eagle had closed up
shop early and dispatched their
quota to the ranks of the marcherS.
1t was tribute to the trust of
the people in their leadership, al
most overwhelming in its magnitude.
More than 200 bands frightened the
long march with military and pop
ular music; 76 military and civilian
planes circled overhead, and more
than 1000 police patrolled the route
of the seven-hour procession.

SCORE::29 TOO
Minnesota, Maryland, and
Colorado Are Added to
Repeal List.
DRYS ROUTED IN CITIES
Baltimore, St. Paul, and

MaioritieS.
By United Press

Approval of only seven more
states was needed today to remove
the eighteenth amendment from
the Constitution.
Substantial returns from Colo
RADIO, Minnesota, and Maryland,
which voted Tuesday, indicated
good majorities for repeal. They
were the 9th, 28th, and 29th states
to join the unbroken wet parade.
With more than three-fourths of
the states precincts counted, repeal
led in Colorado by more than to l..
With more than half of the pre-
cinctS counted in Minnesota, the
repealists were maintaining the
same lead. In Maryland the repeal
victory was expected to approach
the proportions of 512 to l.
Tuesdays landslide for repeal, fol-
lowing close on a wet victory in the
prohibition pioneer state of Maine
Monday, placed repeal within reach
ing distance of actuality. Ten states
vote between now and Nov. 7. Vets
are confident of winning all, but
need to win only seven for vic
tory.

Florida Oct. 10, and Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, North and South Carolina,
Utah and Kentucky, Nov. T. The
last repeal convention will be held
Dec. 6 and if the vets are victorious.
the eighteenth amendment will die
on that day.
Two of Maryland's Eastern Shore
counties apparently were dry, re-
sisting the overwhelming repeal
sentiment of the rest of the state.
But this will not keep the repeal
convention from being unanimously
wet, it was believed.
Three delegates were elected from
each of the six congressional dis
tricts, and six were elected at large.
All districts seemed safely wet, and
Baltimore's almost 11-toTl majority
for repeal seemed to assure election
of wet delegates at large.
Rural sections, holding true to
traditional dry allegiance, made the
wet victory less overwhelming in
Minnesota, but the states cities
proved themselves no different from
cities elsewhere. Minneapolis was
almost to l wet; ST. Paul about
AZ to l.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 13.-Health
officials today noted an apparent
Slackening in the number of deaths
resulting from the epidemic of en-
cephalitis that has drawn more
than one hundred of the nations

Although the officials emphasized
that no preventive or successful
method of treatment has been
found, they said the Slackening
death rate, although possibly only
temporary. is encouraging.
Two additional deaths in the last
twelve hours increased to 1872 the
number of fatalities among the 754
cases which have been confined to
hospital isolation wards. Approx
mately $50 persons have recovered
from the disease.

A hatless, bushy, black-haired
head popped out of the opening
atop the plane. A white patch
over his left eye, Wiley Post,
holder of one globe circling rec
ord after another, seemed to be
gazing apprehensively at the
crowd.
Welcomers approached, chat
tering their greetings.
A worried look creased Wileys
brow. Then he grinned shyly as
he clambered down to the ground.
Glad to meetcha," he said to
introductions.
T AFTER in the day, before a din
IL ner given in his honor at the
SEVERN, Wiley Post sat is a COM
Portable chair in a room at the
hotel, surrounded by newspaper
men. He said nothing.

one newspapermen finally, sis as
tough grind as you'll find, isn't
it?"
We'll" said Wiley Post, halt
ingly. Next week, the week after
that, and the week after that on
this tour is tougher, 1 guess"
NewSpapermen grinned.
1t wasn't hard to understand
Wiley Post. He didn't have to
say a word. He was a welcome
relief to newspaper men, after the
minerun of egotistical, pseudo
sophisticated celebrities.
You could tell that Wiley Post
can be happy Just sitting and
listening. He's just human be-
ing. Perhaps that's the answer.
1t wasn't necessary for him to
burst out and tell what he was
thinking. Every one in the room
knew it.
Wiley was wishing he was in
some hangar, in snludgy overalls,
tinkering with an airplane motor,
far from a bunch of fellows who
wanted to ask questions even if
they were nice fellows.
TXTILEY POST was wishing he

clouds at the stick of an airplane.
But wish as he would, the pros
pect of a banquet was in front of

shuddering.

Other refugees came from the

None Has Shelter
The brief dispatches indicated
they were without shelter and
needed tents in which to live during
the crisis. The Santiago military
command was in the hands of
enlisted men and noncommissioned
officers.
Ambassador Sumner Welles or
dered further details at once. He
checked out of the National hotel
Tuesday afternoon, but denied
earlier rumors that he planned to
return to Washington. He said he
was leaving the hotel because of the
current strike of the hotel employees,
called out by their union. Welles
and his family moved to the Pres
ident hotel, but left their trunks at
the National.
The threat of a counter-revolution
led by the 300 army and navy Off
GERS, elected last week during the
bloodlesS rebellion of enlisted men,
further endangered the new cabinet
of provisional President Ramon
Grau San Martin. The cabinet was
sworn in Tuesday.
Revolt Is Feared
1t was feared the officers might
seek political support and inspire
counter-rebellion-but no move to
break up their sessions was made
by the authorities, who so far APP
parently felt it best to let them talk
it out.
AS long as they commit no overt
act. they will not be arrested, it was
indicated. The officers themselves
insisted they had no intention of
starting trouble with the troops
They were too badly outnumbered,
the army mastering upwards of TO-
900 men.
Officers arriving from the prov
inces reported starvation and misery
in the interior. Observers pointed
out, however, their reports might be
exaggerated, inasmuch as they are
against the new regime.
President Is Optimistic
President Grau San Martin re-
optimistic. He told the
United Press that the Officers
question will be settled shortly and
satisfactorily all around"
With the cabinet functioning
and order maintained throughout
Cuba" Dr. Grau San Martin said,
Il am confident we shortly can Sc
cure recognition"
He also was optimistic that the
labor disputes causing
separate strikes-there
has been no general strike move
ment as yet-could be handled Satt
by the new cabinet.

This work will be carried on by
the state highway department I'M
der the same new federal rules.
How highway construction can be
made to provide jobs was illustrated

men are being employed on an
eleven-mile project in Rush county.
Every man employed, with the
exception of the foreman and few
skilled laborers, are from the ranks
