BANDITS STAGE DOWNTOWN HOLDUP
BinER WORDS FLY IN FIGHT ON SEA PACT Senate Debate Over Treaty Levels Itself Into OldTime Shindig. RAP ‘ADMIRAL STIMSON’ Words of Coolidge Cited by Opposition as War Continues. BY LYLE C. WILSON l nit.d Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 19.—Another night session confronted the senate today as debate was resumed on the London naval treaty. Twelve hours of speech -making failed to obtain a vote Friday night and there is only a possibility of a vote tonight. From 11 a. m. until 11 p. m. Friday, seven treaty opponents told the senati the pact was iniquitous Mid should be rejected. Reserva- ' iis showered upon the senate < • k s desK. At the conclusion of session, the anti-treaty group • drritted defeat, but refused to agree to vote. Twice during the long ordeal, words or deeds of former President Coolidge were cited by Republican treaty opponents to support their opposition to the pact. Brads Coolidge Speech Senator Moses of New Hampshire contrasted Mr. Coolidge's refusal to accept at Geneva in 1927 substantially what he said President Hoover had accepted at London. Chairman Hale of the naval affairs committee read the 1928 Armistice day speech of Mr. Coolidge, which was delivered shortly after the secret Anglo-French armaments agreement had been exposed flnd denounced by this government. The atmosphere of friendly enmity which prevailed during the early days of the debate has disappeared now, with the gloves of! and the senate engaged in an old- ; fashioned shindig. Raps Admiral Stimson Anti-trraty senators heard themselves denounced Friday as filibusters and wasters of the senate's time. Senator McKellar (Dem.. Tenn.) poked fun at "Admiral Stimson and his six-inch guns” and sarcastically suggested the hours of darkness were best suited to ratification of the treaty "because a senator would have to be seven-eighths asleep to vote for it.” Senator Glenn (Rep., 111.). | Hoover man and a newcomer to the senate, observed that if McKellar continued to speak for five more minutes, the entire senate would be asleep. McKellar retorted by saying Glenn "has been asleep ever since he entered the senate.” Strive to Wear Out Opposition The threat of cloture still dangles over the recalcitrant minority, although administration leaders admit they are unwilling to invoke this gag. It has been decided to wear out. if possible, the opposition by protracted sessions. One of ihe opposing senators must be on the floor constantly and speaking lest a supporter of the pact moves to read the treaty and to vote. In ten days of the special session there have been thirty quorum calls and forty speeches, thirty of them delivered by thirteen senators who either objected to Mr. Hoover's refusal to produce the secret documents or who demanded rejection of the treaty. Only Senators Reed ißep.. Pa.>, Robinson (Dem., Ark.) and Swanson (Dem., Va.) have spoken for the pact. RUDY VALLEE HEARS HOME TOWN CHEERS Westbrook (Me.) Out in Force as Crooner Pays Visit.

A bandit and his accomplice escaped with more than SSOO wrested from a young woman collector in the Indiana I theater budding lobby this morning, after a mad scramble across Washington street’s heavy traffic, and through the lobby of the Lincoln. They leaped into a taxicab, commanded the driver to disregard traffic signals and rode to Fountain Square, where they paid him and disappeared. Two men grasped the bandit as he fled from the theater building, and pursued him across the street after he wrenched loose from them. Completing her daily round of five Betsy Ross candy stores at the *hop in the Indiana building, Mrs. Clyde Huey, 21, of 3209 East Tenth street, started to ascend a stairway to the street from the room beneath the confectionery in which the safe is kept.
POISON CASE IS DUE FOR JURY TUESDAY NIGHT Defense Prepares Oratory Intended to Acquit Kolb of Murder. Bm Timm Ppeeiai GREENFIELD, Ind.. July 19. While George Kolb, gray-haired Rushville farmer is sitting in the Hancock, county jail here with the shadow of the electric chair always before his eyes, three attorneys are putting the final touches to a burst of oratory which they hope will save him. Presentation of evidence came to close Friday afternoon when the state put on the stand five members of the Rush county grand Jury which indicted Kolb for the murder with strychnine of his second and third wives. He is being tried for the death of the third. Testimony of the grand jurors was to the effect that William and Raymond Kolb, children of the defendant told the grand jury their stepmother had eaten a heavy breakfast on the morning of her death. Defense Is Offered The defense has shown through testimony that if she were given the strychnine by Kolb before they left home to attend Sunday school at Rushville, Mrs. Kolb would have displayed symptoms of strychnine poisoning within 30 to 60 minutes after they left the home. The symptoms first were shown three hours later at 10:30 a. m., and Kolb's attorneys declare that the poison must have been taken by her while she was alone in her mother’s home at Rushville. She died shortly after noon. The state has countered with the expert testimony that if a heavy meal has been eaten and the stomach is full, strychnine works slowly. Ate Light Meal Kolb’s children, together with their father, testified that Edna Dagler Kolb, the third wife, ate a light breakfast of cereal and coffee. Each side will be allowed six hours of argument and the case is expected to be given the jury Tuesday night. The indictment is for first degree murder and conviction carries eitner life imprisonment or the chair. The. jury, however, is permitted to find the defendant guilty of manslaughter, which is punishable with two to fourteen years imprisonment. FRANK J.

The money bag was under her arm. In the stairway a man jabbed a revolver into her side. “Get back there. I want that,” he growled, reaching for the bag. She clutched it firmly under her arm. but he shoved her down the stairs and tore the bag away. She screamed as he darted toward the street. Escapes From Carpenter C. M. Shadley, 1302 South Lyndhurst drive, carpenter working in the theater lobby, tried to catch the bandit, who swung at Shadley’s head, and twisted away as the latter dodged the blow. E. D. Johnson, 5447 Guilford avenue, eir/)loye of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, 126 West Washington street, sitting in his auto in front of his place of business, realized what had happened, and also tried to capture the bandit. Johnson and Shadley pursued the gunman • across Washington street, shouting vainly to a traffic policeman on duty at Washington and Illinois streets. Through the Lincoln lobby they sped, only to see their quarry leap to the running board of a United cab, the motor of which was running, and escape. The accomplice sat in the cab. Driver Tells Story While Sergeant Leo Landers and his emergency squad prepared to give chase to the cab, the driver, R. L. Thompson, Stebbu.s hotel, appeared at police headquarters, explaining that his firm ordered him to report there, when he telephoned his office after discharging the two fares. “I was sitting by the Lincoln, first up, when a young man ran to the cab and said: ‘Get your mo*-or started. We’re in a hurry,! ” Thompson said. “Then another fellow ran out of the hotel, ‘lt means a lot of money for us to get to Fountain square right away. Don’t mind the stop lights,’ he gasped.’’ Thompson told Detective Chief Fred Simon. Leave at Fountain Square "We went to Fountain Square, where they got out, and paid me,” he added. Thomson first was reelased, and then returned to detective headquarters for further questioning. Mrs. Huey said she could not tell exactly how much money was in the bag. Daily collections averaged about SSOO she said, but Friday's business had been heavy, and the amount probably was larger. DOG NIPS POLICEMAN Reluctant to Shoot, Cop Is Injured. Because of his reluctance to shoot a handsome police dog reported to have nipped at children, motorpoliceman Claud Kinder today was nursing a nasty bite on his left forearm. On reports the dog was acting vicious, Kinder located the dog Friday afternoon in the rear of 126 West Eighteenth street. Because nine out of ten mad dog reports prove groundless, Kinder, unafraid, called the dog to him. Without warning, it jumped upon him, biting him viciously. A shot from Kinder’s revolver ended the attack. The policeman was treated at city hospital Train Kills Motorist Bu United Prrss HAMMOND, Ind., July 19.—William Lucas, 37, Hammond, was killed when he drove his automobile into the path of a Michigan Central train.

the boating party was injured seriously when he dived from the sinking Whoopee in an effort to rescue the girl. He struck his head on the Scarab's hull. Marshall, four other companions aboard the Whoopee, and four men aboard the Scarab were rescued by a passing craft before their own boats sank. In an effort to escape the intense heat in the city, the Marshall children had hired the speedboat, piloted by Barton Webster, to take them out on the lake. There was a radio aboard and they were dancing and singing when the boat rammed the Scarab, a sixty-three-foot vessel, anchored about a mile and a half off shore. The boats, interlocked, began sinking at once and the songs of the children were changed to screams of terror.

In Chicago, where an all-time July 18 record of 100 degrees was set Friday, the forecast was for slightly cooler weather, but the meteorologists added "maybe.” More than a dozen heat prostrations were reported, nine at one beach. No deaths were reported. The lack of lake breezes, which make 100 degree temperatures in Chicago a rarity, were blamed for the high mark. One government thermometer showed a high of 98.8 degrees while another, nearer the center of the city, went to 100.4. Throughout the middlewest, and especially m lowa and Illinois, it was reported that the new wave of heat was causing much crop damage and in the vicinity of Canton, 111., where the temperature yesterday was 102, a prolonged drought almost has ruined the corn stand.

Conference Called for Monday to Consider Unusual Action. A Bu United Press SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.—With the pardon petition of Warren K. Billings in their hands, justices of the state supreme court today planned a conference Monday to discuss their right to consider the case. Billings, convicted with Tom Mooney of perpetrating the Preparedness day bombing of 1916 and now serving life in Folsom prison, requested the court, through his attorney, Edwin McKenzie, to revise its recent recommendation against his pardon. He further asked that the court hear the testimony of John MacDonald, admitted perjurer, now en route to California, whose statements helped send him and Mooney to prison. Members of the court declared they were not prepared to state what their actions would be on a rehearing of the Billings application. They pointed out that the case was extremely unusual and that there were not sufficient provisions under the California laws to cover the situation. Governor C. C. Young refused today to discuss the case of Mooney and Billings until MacDonald had arrived within the state. Frank P. Walsh,“attorney for the Mooney defense league, was expected in Los Angeles today and it was thought he would attempt to arrange the meeting between the Governor and MacDonald. Walsh left the MacDonald party en route to California at Kansas City to make the rest of the journey in an airplane. ASK $49,000 IN BUDGET City Legal Department Requests Smaller, Declares Knight.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 19.—A mysterious woman witness, an indicted gangster, high officials, a police lieutenant. newspaper men, and gangland a most notorious ruler were named today in developments in the Alfred Linglc murder investigation. It was the eve of the Cook county grand jury’s active investigation o£ the murder, with its maze of attending rumors, charges, and counter* charges, and developments followed each other in more rapid succession than any time since the Tribune reporter was killed on Juii” 9 The expected arrival from Los Angeles of Frank Foster, indicted gunman being brought in under heavy guard, did not draw the center of attention from the “mysterious” woman whom state’s Attorney John A. Swanson announced positively could Identify the slayer of Linglc. Saw Lingle Slain ;‘She saw the killer shoot Linglel in the subway under Michigan boulevard,” said Swanson. "We regard her as the key witness. It is the first tangible progress we have made toward .'olviug the mystery.” Victim of a series of shocks sufficient to unnerve the strongest, the woman was said to be on the verge of a breakdown and her name was withheld, in fear that gangland might use its customary "ride” method to remove her before she could testify or have opportunity to identify the slayer. On the day of the murder, this woman, according to Swanson’s an* nouncement, was injured in an auto accident. While gSing to a doctor’s office, she saw a child’s hand caught and crushed in an elevator door. Still frightened from her own! mishap and hearing the screams of the tortured child. She was walking through the subway, when within a few feet of her a man drew a snub-nosed pistol, placed it against the back of Lingle’s head, pulled the trigger and fled, leaving) the slain reporter at her feet.

Brundidge, sent here after the murder to cover the story for his paper, also said Capone advised him to "lay off the money-hungry reporters.” Continuing what has become a series, the Tribune today named Matt Faley, assistant circulation manager for the Herald-Examiner* as another of the unnamed newspaper men Brundidge would accuse. The Herald-Examiner continued its demand that high officials who were friends of Lingle be called by the jury. A side development to the case was the filing of neglect of duty charges dgainst Police Lieutenant! George W. Barker, who took part in a loop gun battle with gangsters who tried to kill Jack Zuta, one of the many suspects in the Lingle case. He will be tried July 23. LOSES SI,OOO DIAMOND Mrs. Mary J.
