I y • ' Bp Times Special I BURKET, Ind., Sept. 21.—Four i bandits are the object of a Statewide search in Indiana today following holdup of directors of the tßank of Seward while they were in ,a meeting here late Thursday aft- •’ ernoon. Loot of bettween $2,000 and $3,000 was obtained, if While three of the bandits, armed land masked, entered a room of the ? meeting where the directors were in .’session, a fourth remained in an automobile near the bank and provided the means of escape for his companions. Gaylord Doran, cashier, was forced to open the bank’s vault after the robbers had lined the directors against the wall. Chivalry of the bandits was revealed when one of them told Doran's wife, employed at the bank, ;that the robbery had been set for Wednesday, but when it was discovered she was alone in the bank at the appointed hour, the robbery was ; postponed due to a desire not to frighten her by a lone encounter with the bandits. Directors who faced a revolver in ; the hands of one of the robbers were ■ E. E. Gaskill, president of the bank; | William Shaffer, George Alexander, C. A. Jones, James Fawley and Earl Shirley.

Boys Injured in Blast

Jack Brown (left) and Jack Deming. While Jack Brown, 9, 4004 Ruckle St., lies in the Methodist hospital in grave danger of losing the sight of one eye, his 9-year-old chum, Jack Deming, 3940 Ruckle St., himself severely burned, is assailed by the thought the Brown youngster blames him for the explosion in which both were burned. The boys were burned Tuesday when they investigated a supposedly empty gasoline tank in the rear of the Brown home. According to the Deming lad’s story, he had lighted a match near a pipe leading to the gas tank. “Jack flipped the match from my hand and it went into the pipe,” the Deming boy sobbed. “Then Jack went to look in the pipe and just then it exploded. I pulled him away.” A small quantity of gasoline in the tank, unused for five years, caused the explosion.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

METHODISTS OF INDIANA RAP AL ON RUMSTAND State Conference Brands Candidate ‘Nullificationist/ Pit Times Special SEYMOUR, Ind., Sept. 21.—District superintendents of the Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in ninety-seventh annual session here, rapped Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candidate for President, without naming him, and condemned efforts to modify Federal legislation for curbing intoxicating liquor. Views of the superintendents are contained in a composite report submitted to the conference by Dr. L. C. Jeffery, Seymour district superintendent. The report says, in part: “If the drys do not realize the importance of the issue, the wets do. They know what they are after and will stoop to anything under the sun to get It. We are facing the greatest crisis in the history of the temperance cause.” Referring to Governor Smith, the report says: “The greatest question before the American people today is not whether the next President comes from one party or the other, but whether an avowed nullification shall reign over the destinies of this Nation and the temperance forces shall be turned back into the wilderness to mark time for half a century. Confidence was expressed in E.

S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon League superintendent, under sentence for contempt of the Indiana Supreme Court as a result of criticism of its action in liquor cases. The conference indorsed improvements at the Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis. Takes Long Trip on 83 Cents MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 21.—Donald Dill, student in Ball Teachers College, has arrived here to take up his school work after a "hitch hike” trip from Washington, D. C., made at a cost of 83 cents.
