The man then asked If he could buy a -newspaper without going to a downtown corner. He appeared very nervous, /eadel told the police. IMPORTANT BANK ROBBERY CLEW. An important clew to the robbers who entered th* Indiana National Bank, was given to detectives today by Fred Bruner, foreman of the Pratt Printing Company, whose plant is on the fourth floor of the Century building. From the windows of the company's | printing office. Bruner saw two men on the roof of the Indiana National Bank between 11 and 12 o'clock Saturday morning. Bauk officials declared no employes were on the roof that day, Bruner said the smaller man appeared about 5 feet 8 Inches in height, about 140 pounds In weight, and did not wear any overcoat. He had on a dark suit of clothes, a cap and a pair of light shoes that Bruner said appeared to be of canvas.

The larger man was about six feet in j height, wore a dark overcoat and a hat. The smaller man walked around the skylight and seemed to be inspecting the building, while the tall one stood near the point in the roof where the trap door Is located. Through that trap door Sunday night the burglars entered the bauk, the police say. Bruner thought nothing of the men being on the roof until he read of the robbery. The two men did not enter the bank building Saturday through the trap door but left the roof of the Indiana Bank building by climbing down to the rool of the Railroad Men's Building and Loan Association building, from which roof they could raech the fire escape of the. Clinton Hotel.

ducted Investigations and worked with patrolmen. They are to shoot to kill any criminal caught In the act. NOT TO WEAKEN RULE IN SENATE (Continued From Page One.) Pennsylvania and in favor of Charles Evans Hughes for Secretary of State. The pressure of recommendation aeff objection for and against candidates is growing stronger each day, although Senator Miles Poindexter is the first cf (he Harding visitors openly to announce that he came specifically to make recommendations about a Cabinet post. Strength was ndded to Poindexter’s plea for Joseph Dixon of Montana as Secretary of the Interior by the fact that Dixon is thoroughly familiar with reclamation work In the West, to which the new administration is pledged. He also is counted among the progressive wing of tho Republican parry, recognition for which is desired. FALL HAS EYE ON ANOTHF.R PLACE. Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico, it is Intimated, undoubtedly could have the interior portfolio if he cared for it. He also was a Roosevelt supporter, aud would give the far West representation in the Harding official family. But Senator Fall, it Is known, wishes to become Secretary of State and, it is said, ha* not yet been definitely eliminated for consideration for that post. Senator Mc-

Cormick also is mentioned for the interior berth. There seems a consensus of opinion that Harry M. Daugherty will be named as Attorney General; that Will Hays will take on the task of reorganizing the postoffice department and that Henry Wallac® will become Secretary of Agriculture. The name of Senator Capper, Kansas, also is heard in this connection. Much discussion has arisen over the possibility of including Senator Weeks of Massachusetts in the Cabinet. One objection outlined here seems to be that the determination to have Vice President Coolidge sit as a Cabinet officer without portfolio would give Massachusetts adequate representation. Weeks has been mentioned for both Treasury, War and Navy. SENATOR NEW’S NAME j IS ADVANCED 1 Senator New of Indiana, it ia known on best authority, is disinclined to forsake the Senate for the Cabinet, but should he do so, tho Department of War is tho only one he would consider. Representative Kahn of California is being urged j for the post, and many, it is said, would ; approve the appointment of Benator ! Chamberlain of Oregon, Democrat, who ' failed for re-election. i Candidates for the post of Secretary of I Labor are not particularly numerous. Herbert Hoover is being advocated by those who know his close relations with both employers aud employes. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, is regarded as a possibility, as is Representative Nolan of California, who holds a union card and has sponsored much progressive labor legislation
