EBEED
OF HIGHWAYMEN
Suburb of London Scene of
Bloody Encounter
London, Jan. 25.—Five persons are
dead and more than twenty others are
in hospitals at Walthamstow, aBUbiirb
of London, as the result of a sensa
tional attempt made by two Italian
highwaymen. The Italians were run
down and surrounded by a posse and
finally committed suicide. Three of
their victims, including a policeman
and a young boy, lie dead. Two po
licemen and three boys are among
the wounded.
The Italians had been employed in
a rubber factory, but,. having been
discharged, planned to revenge them
selves on their employers. They
seized a bag of money containing the
week's pay of all the hands and start
ed on a mad dash down the street.
The police were summoned and fol
lowed in a motor car. As they ap
proached the Italians the robbers
opened fire with automatic pistols on
their pursuers. A number of men
and boys on the street were shot
down before they could recover froui
their surprise and get to cover.
Tne Italians then boarded a trolley
car and forced the driver, at the
point of their revolvers, to throw on
full speed. The car went thundering
down the track with the police auto
mobile in pursuit. At a point near
Tottenham Marshes the Italians made
the motorman slow down and, jump
ing from the car, they sought a posi
tion in the marshes for their last
stand.
By this time the police had been
Joined by several hundred laboring
men. Together the purbuers advanced
upon the robbers, the police in the
van. The Italians were surrounded
and hard pressed. They saw their
position was hopeless and after the
exchange of a few shots they turned
their weapons upon themselves and
committed suicide.

A special train will be at the dis
posal of Mr. Taft and party while on

two armored cruisers are required to
carry a man of his bulk on a trip of
such importance. Seriously speaking,
however, the decision to have two
cruisers to convey the president-elect
is a precaution suggested by certain
senators on the ground that there is
no legal provision for a successor to
the presidency in the event of a fa
tality overtaking a president-elect

ABOLISHES COURT CIRCULAR
Kaiser Angered by Criticism of the
Newspapers.
Berlin, Jan. 25.—Emperor William,
who ordered a considerable curtail
ment of the daily court circular after
the popular excitement following the
appearance of the now famous inter
view with him as published in the
London Daily Telegraph, has now de
cided to signalize his fiftieth birthday
by abolishing the dally court report
altogether.
This report has hitherto been given
to a semi-official prees bureau for dis
tribution to the newspapers. Here
after, however, instead of the circular
there will appear a brief summary of
the emperor's official activity. This
will be published bl-weekiy in the
Rolchsanzelger.
His majesty's decision, it Is said,
is the result of recent press criticisms
of his reading a magazine #rtlcle to
the commending generals on Jan. 2.
These criticisms greatly embittered
his majesty and he has now reached
the conclusion that it will be best for
him to keep out of the newspapers as
far as possible.
