EAT RUSH Crabill Deserts Private Office for Dispenser's Cage Po lice in Holiday Rush, Hunt Bold Two Hold-up Men, South Bend merchants are not the only ones experiencing an unusual rush incident to the holiday season. At least two of South Bend's public institutions, the postoffice and the police department, are being forced to the limit of their facilities to han dle their respective work. Striking evidence of the manner in which distinctions aro swept away in the tide of the holiday rush was pre sented at the postoffice Tuesday. Postmaster Cadmus E. Crabill, de serting his private sanctum where correspondence is piling up on the spacious polished top of his desk, ap peared at one of the stamp dispensing windows of the office where he de livered the "ones" and "twos" to the throng of holiday gift senders which crowded-tho corridors. Busy Selling Stamps. The door "to the postmaster's office ivns locked and official business, un less of extraordinary importance, was laid aside in the effort to fachitate the handling of the large volume of mail. Postmaster Crabill was too busy distributing stamps to grant in terviews on any but matters demand ing immediate attention. Asst. Postmaster Cimmerman like wise deserted his office. Joining the force of stamp dispensers, b'upt. Tipton and Assistant Huber also left their "white cuff" jobs to help in the distribution of the packages in the parcels post division. The police department has also felt the spur of the holiday rush and de tectives are on the trail of pick pockets and bolder hold-up men who have been reported to headquarters. One of the most daring of recent rob beries was committed Monday night, and the police havo not as yet any trace of the robbers. UohbcrM Clot 8-7 from Koons. B. F. Koons, 717 K. Lasalle av., was held up by two highway men be tween 0:30 and 10 o'clock on X. Hill St., and robbed of over $27. He was on his way home from a shopping trip, and near a dark alley off Jef ferson boulevard, two masked men sprang out on him. one covering his mouth with bis hand and the other feeling through his pockets for the purse. One threatened to k'll him if he at tempted to make a disturbance and when they bad secured his money they threw him to the sidewalk and disappeared down the alley. Koons was some time r covering from the shock, after which he found a police man and the affah was reported to headquarters. The men were described as tall, dres-xed apparently in black with low caps. They appeared to be about 30 years of age. and as far as Koons could tee. they were smooth shaven. The police have made investigation and believe the two tr.? same men that Wfi implicated in similar hold ups in the past week. Fighteen prisoners faced sentences in city court Tuesday.

Dec POSTMASTER IS II STAMP CLERK TAKE MSH CASE TO HIGHER C0UKT City Court Action l)ismised and Km bczlcmeut Allidarit lilctl Ue foro Judge Fi?nk. In ovder to obviate the necessity of two trials of the same case the charge of embezzlement against Earl Fish, former treasurer of the local Moose lodge, was dismissed in police court and an affidavit was tiled against Fish in the circuit court by Deputy Prosecutor Daniel Nye. It lias been reported that Fish was ready to enter a plea to the charge, but no information to this effect was given the prosecutor and a date has not been fixed for arraignment. Had the evidence been presented in the city court Fish would undoubtedly have been bound over to the circuit court and for this reason it was taken to the higher court without further delay. Fish is charged with having ab sconded with the funds of the lodge late last summer. He was arrested in Detroit recently and brought to this city. M. MEYERS TO BE POLICE SDRCiEO.N Hut Matter of Chier of Police is still High Up in Air. Though still floundering about in their quandary with regard to tho ap pointment of a chief of police, the Keller board of public safety has reached a decision in the matter of police surgeon, and Dr. Edgar Myers is the victor, lie succeeds Dr. Charles K. Varier. The duties of the police surgeon are to examine into the physical condition of applicants for positions on the po lice and tire department, treat them when indisposed, and certify to their illness when enforced vacations are required on that account. The per quisites are $500 a year. Absolutely nothing can be wrung from the board with regard to the chief of police. Humor has it that Chief Bunker is to be retained, also that Detective Cassidy is to get it. also that a third party is being most seriously considered, and possibly a fourth, fifth and sixt, even someone to be shipped in from outside. And the board members aren't talking. Friends of Peter Kreczmer are said to be somewhat huffed because he was not appointed street commissioner, which went to D. C. Lyton. Krecz mer is said to nave had the indorse ment of several leaders of the citizens party, and a number of members of the new council. He is at present in the employ of the Standard Oil Co.

All members of the . dimnlomatic corps, with the exception of Nelson O'Shaughnes.sy the American charge, were expected to call on lluerta dur ing the afternoon. Lesperato efforts are being" made to have French stockholders come to the rescue of the bank of London and Mexico and it is possible that they will have to advanco a big loan to save their investment. The bankers intimate that they have hopes of get ting money from France.

Hy a presidential decree issued Monday afternoon, every day, including Mon day, until the end of the present year, is made a legal holiday in order to check the run on the banks particu larly that on the bank of London and Mexico. On the promulgation of this decree the Bank of London and Mexico opened its doors, but refrained from pacing deposits. Provisional Pres. lluerta says as to the decree he deems such action nec essary to protect the banks until pub lic contidence is more nearly restored. By the decree the banks are absolved from meeting any obligation until Jan.- 2. It applies to all banking houses whether a bank of issue or not. With the exception of the Bank of London and Mexico, and The Na tional bank, none have taken ad vantage of the decree and business at the other institutions is being con ducted as usual. Crowds gathered about the doors of the two banks mentioned but there was no disorder. Both banks are strongly guarded by police. MEXICO CITV. Dec. 23. The di rectors of the Bank of London and Mexico tonight began a careful scru tiny of the affairs of that institution, and if their finding is endorsed by other bankers it is not improbable that assurances will -e otfered the directors which will enable a full re sumption of the business of the insti tution. It is reasonahlv certain, how ever, that the bank will continue to avail itself of a decree of Pres. lluerta issued Monday making the last ten days of the present year legal holidays.

Myers, of Iogansport. There have been many rumors recently that Mr. O'Xeil would be a candidate for the place. ( O'NEILL INTERVIEWED HERE. Asked about the above statement upon his return to .South Bend, shortly before noon Tueseday. Lieut. Gov. O'Neill denied that he has made any definite announcement. "It is the laudable ambition of any lawyer to want to be a judgv of th" supreme court of his state." he says. "But I do not regard a judgeship, and especially of the supreme court, as an ollice that calls for a political squabble in order to reach it. All I have to say is that if my friends in the democratic party desire my nomi nation, and there are enough of them to make me the candidate. I shall not decline to make the race." GREET KRUYER HT South Bend Man Who is Named i U. - S. Revenue Collector Hears From His Friends Once Newspaper Mm. "Hello! Yes this is Kruyer. Oh. thank you. guess.'' And Peter receiver and Yes, we're all glad, 1 J. Kruyer hung up the turned around in his chair. He had spent the morning re ceiving congratulations by local and lo.g distance phone and by wire on the good nev.which had come ovYr night; to-wit tho confirmation of his appointment by the senate as IT. S. revenue collector of Indiana, after nearly a year of uncertainty. "Oh, I never let myself worry over it," smiled Kruyer in answer to the question, "because at no time did I consider the matter settled. The place was never really promised to me. Sen. Shively merely said he would see what he could do about it. But of course, I had my hopes." Peter Kruyer's smile is a mixture of cordiality and good nature. lie probably will tind it an asset when he begins collecting income taxes, for that will be part of his new job. Kruyer got his; real start in life on a newspaper tho Plymouth Jjemo crat. Oihh; Newspaper Man. "I actually worked six months on that paper as printer's devil before I was paid a cent," he said, "but it was because I hadn't asked for an; money." He then went on to tell how he had built tho fires and swept out, and did all manner of odd jobs about the place, feeling that -whfn the boss got ready to pay him, he would do so. A foreman finally suggested that he go to tho office and setle up, which he did and received something like $50 for his equivalent to $2 a week. "My. what a lot .of money that seemed," mused Kruyer. "I took it and bought a suit of clothes and put the rest in tho bank, and felt then I had made a real start in life." Kruyer stayed with the newspaper until he had worked up to hn the editor, and then went on the road as salesman. He resigned this position, however, as being away from his home and a growing family of five children two girls and three boys was not to his taste. Then he got in to politics, became district chairman and head of the state employment mureau. Mr. Kruyer has made hi residence in South Bend for the past three years, coming here from Plymouth, and expects to continue his. head quarters here. Announcement of his appointment was made in Washington late Mon day, along with that of Isaac K. House, who is to bo collector for the Terre Haute district. Simultaneously with the confirma tion. Sen. Shiveiy gave out the state ment that despite conflicting state ments of opposition to the South Bend man, none had ever been made to him. except a few anonymous let ters whjch were given no weight be cause of tho unqualified endorse ments. Endorsements both general and political were sent Shively in Mr. Krnyer'n favor, according to the sen ator, from South Bend and all over the state.
