YEGGMEN LOOT
FISHERS BANK
WITH TORCHES
Escape After Robbing Small
Town Vault With Stolen
Utensils.
They're off!
Slumbering Indiana towns and hamlets
Can expect an epidemic of safe robberies.
Robbers who stole the acetylene tanks,
torches and other equipment such as
yeggmen might use, at the Prest-O-Lite
plant, got in their first work at Fishers,
a town fourteen miles north of Indian
apolis, in Hamilton county, Saturday.
Driving through the heavy vault which
conceals the safe and deposit boxes of
the Fishers National bank the yegg
men fled with bonds and- other loot from
six deposit boxes.
extent of foot
NOT TET KNOWN.
Bank officials say they will not know
the value of the loot until the owners
of the boxes make a statement. It is
known that there were many Liberty
bonds and other negotiable papers in
the six boxes rifled.
Using the acetylene torches the yegg
tneu apparently had little trouble ill
burning through the door of the big
vault. Once inside they directed theii
attentions to the safety boxes. The safe
was not molested. It contained about
So,ooo in cash and bonds.
Oscar Manship, cashier of the Fishers
bank, said today he believed the men
were frightened away before they com
pleted their iob.
He asserted that thousands of dollars
in bonds may have been carried off. Most
of the vaults rifled were held by wealthy
farmers.
When the yeggmen fled—it is believed
there were three of them—they deserted
two acetylene tanks and torches. The
tanks are the same as those taken from
the Prest-O-Lite plant in Indianapolis.on
Thursday night or early Friday morning.
At the time of the Prest-O-Lite rob
bery the Indianapolis detectives warned
that small towns should be vigilant
against cracksmen.
TWO DETECTIVES
SENT FROM HERE.
The nature of the robbery is such
that two Indianapolis detectives have
been dispatched to Fishers to investi
gate.
According to advices from Fishers no
one saw the robbers arrive or leave the
town.
It is apparent, it is said, that they
used an automobile and fled northward
after they left from the bank.
They gained entrance to the bank by
using a jimmy on the rear door.

MINING CLOSED
BOOK TO PUBLIC
British Speaker Says Industry
Not Generally Understood.
LONDON, Feb. 23. Speaking at a big
meeting of the miners at Uannoek re
cently. Frank Hodges, secretary of the
Miners' Federation, commented upon the
•olossal ignorance of the British public
on the questions of the mining industry.
The public did not do a great deal of
thinking on theae matters, be declared,
and had looked upon the nationalization
of mines purely as an academic question,
vet it was tlie general public that was
going to derive the principal social ben
•tits that would accrue from It.
Coal, Mr. Hodges said, was wastefultv
produced, unit It was ron.sunicd wttli
prodigal wastefulness. The year 1913 had
aeen the highest rate of coal productivity,
yet 2hj per rent of the total output was
wasted. Sir Auckland Geddes hnd spoken
as to tlie reduced coal output, but the
fact was that the decline in output was
due to capitalistic deficiencies.
|I was surprised, Mr Hodges con
ttnued, that the community did not rise
111 revolt against, the present system of
the coal industry which was exploiting
the present situation In Europe. The
time had come when the cogl industry
should be removed from Its present men
ace. The coal commission had discov
ered the trouble from which tho Indus
try was suffering. A radical change was
necesr.iry, but there was no man or
pared to order It.

CINCHING VOTE
SEEN IN COURT
Little Guessing Needed as to
This Man’s Ballot.
There scorns to be little doubt that
Fred E. Prince, negro, will vote the re
publican tick*! at the next election.
Henry Fleming, negro, superintendent
of the ash hauling department of the
city, was the prosecuting wituesa in city
court Saturday. Henry at one time waa s
deputy sheriff and has held other po
litical Jobs, and he is known ns a power
among the negro voter*.

Prince had been fired from his "city"
Job of hauling ashes. Fleming fired him.
Prince, It is snirf. attempted to push s
long-hladed knife between Henry's "fifth '
rib, Henry knocked the kutfe aside with
n club and Detectives Duncan and Ie-
Itosseit arrested Prince.
Judge Pritchard told Prince he might
fine him SIOO and costs or bind him over
to the grand Jury, which would probably
mean he would be sent to'priaon for from
one to fourteen years. Prince appeared
worried.
“If you please. Judge," said Fleming.
“I'll give him hi* Job back If you wtlf
turn him loose. 1 don't have any hard
teelings against him.’’
"I'll flue him SIOO nnd costs and sus
pend the sentence," said the court.
Prince's face was wreathed In smiles
as he accompanied the political powei
from the courtroom

Horse or Auto
Kicks Hardest?
Jury Says Auto
Takes 171-2 Hours Deciding
to Award Owner of Animal
$1 Damages.
Which has the most kick, an automo
bile or a horse?
This question was deliberated for sev
enteen and one-half hours by a jury in

LONDON. Feb. 23.—Five German finan

day to take up unsettled German-Brttlsh

ANTI-PICKETING
LAW IS UPHELD
Circuit Court Holds City
Ordinance Constitutional.
Judge Louts Ewbank of the circuit
court Saturday held constitutional the
anti-plckeling ordinance -recently passed
by the city council.
The cdurt passed upon only the first
and third sections, which were before
the court on an appeal f rom the city
court.
Section one provides a penalty for per
sons picketing for the purpose of in
during an employe, by compulsion 1 !
threats, coercion, violence or Intimida
tion, not to go freely to and from a place
of employment.
The third section fixes a penalty for
congregating for the purpose of Inducing
any employe, by threats and the like,
to quit his employment.
James Waites and Joseph M. Smith
were found guilty in the city oourt for
violating these two sections of the ordi
nance. The question before the court
was to decide if the two sections were
constitutional.
Judge Ewbank held that "peaceful
picketing” Is permissible in Indiana and
ihat workmen, when on a strike, have the
"right to support their contest by argu
ment, persuasion, etc.,” and their pickets
may lawfully "visit the vicinity of fac
tories for the purpose of taking note of
the persons employed, and to secure, if
It can be done by legal means, their
name# and the places of residence for the
purpose of peaceful visitation.”
The court held it to be the law that
under no circumstances have pickets the
right to employ force, menaces or Intimi
dation of any k'nd in their efforts to in
duce nonstrlking workmen to quit, or to
prevent others from taking the strikers'
places.
The Johnson circuit court has prevl
onsly held that the ordinance was con
stitutional.
COAL SHORTAGE
HITS UTILITIES
Service Chiefs Blame Confisca
tion and Exports.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Acute short
ages of coal are being felt by many of
the public service and utility corpora
tlous In the eastern states, officials of
the nntlonnl committee on gas and elec
tric service and representatives of a
number of individual companies declared
here today. Philadelphia, New York and
Boaton are moat seriously affected. It was
stated, with companbs in several smaller
towns and cities In equally serious
straits.
Confiscation of coal recently for rail
road purpose* after it had been shipped
to public utility concerns Is one of th ■
I rinclpal causes of the shortages, It was
declared. Another cause Is stated to be
the comparatively large tonnage being
exported to other countries.
Tonnage flgureli on the volume of coal
recently shipped to Southern and Central
American points are being complied for
the coal commission by the railroad ad
ministration. Many of these shipments,
it is pointed out, are necessary, as the
shipments to Cuba for caring for th>

Why Women
Lack Energy
If you are nervous, pale, ener
vated and lack energy, your blood
is thin and impoverished. It needs
more oxygen to vitalize it and
stimulate the circulation through
out your entire body. Lack of oxy
gen in the blood always causes 4
lack of energy and strength.
If there is not a sufficient supply
of oxygen in the blood—circulation
slows down—the heart action slack
ens—the nerve cells do not receive
proper nourishment and every
organ of the body becomes sluggish
and inactive. Oxygen electnfiea
the blood—revitalizes it, and make*
it rich, red and healthy.
REOLO supplies to the blood the
oxygen, organic iron and natural
cell-salts that Nature requires to
nourish the cells and maintain
health, energy, vitality.

tion and assimilation; tones up the
nervous system; increases the ac
tivity of the circulation and makes
the whole body glow with health.

insidious germs—burns up the
worn-out cells, and sends through
