CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—One of the most
da lag robberies pulled off In the his
tory of the city was perpetrated this
morning when the Washington Park
* !
Savings bank was robbed of the sum
of twelve thousand dollars In broad
daylight and in the plain view of a
small army of employes, clerks and
depositors.
The robbers of whom there were
five, drove up to the bank entrance
In a closed auto shortly after the bank
opened this morning, and entered the
building where, many depositors were
gathered. One of the men staid near
the entrance while the rest ranged
themselves In positions where they
could command a view of the occu
pants of the bank Then, at a signal
all drew revolvers arid held up the!
crowd.
One of the men then entered the [
grated area, after forcing one of the
clerks to open a door leading to the |
Interior and proceeded with the utmost
calmness to help himself to all the]
money In sight. In the meantime the
rest of the robbers held the crowd at
bay. Both customers and employes
were thoroughly frightened and made
no attempt to interfere with the rob
bers One or two made an attempt
to run but were speedily brought to a!
halt by the man on guard at the door
Having annexed all the coin poasl-;
ble to get hold of. the robbers then |
backed quickly out of the door In sight
of several dozens pedestrians, entered
the waiting auto and made their get
away. The robbers were all youth
ful In appearance, according to the
stories told by the bank people, their ■
ages appearing to range from seven
ten to twenty. Yet. despite their |
vouth the men gave every Indication \ I
of being old hands and tvent about!
their task with the utmost composure
As none of them were masked, the
police have secured excellent descrip
tions and It Is believed they will be
apprehended.

A. P. A. Servfce.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27.—A sound ai
of some one moving about the prem
ises led Mrs. Jennie O. Thornberg to
make an Investigation, shortly after
midnight, last night. Hastily robing
herself, she proceeded to make a tour
of her home without turning on the
lights. Several rooms were visited
without finding anything until the
nervy woman entered the library.
Here she discerned by the dim light
from a street lamp which shone
through the window, a shadowy form
bending over a desk. Without giving
the alarm, Mrs. Thornberg, who was
armed with an automatic revolver,
opened fire on the Intruder, who fell
at the first shot. Mrs. Thornberg then
turned on the lights and Investigated,
only to make the startling discovery
that the robber was none other than
her next door neighbor. Mrs. J. A. Mc
Williams, the wife of a railway mall
clerk, w’hom she has known for years.
The female Raffles was stone dead
with a. bullet through her head, she
was garbed In male attire and the
peckets of her coat were tilled with
the small tools usually employed by
professional burglars. The police are
now engaged In looking up her rec
ord as It Is believed that she was the
perpetrator of several robberies which
have been recently committed In the
homes of several of her friends. j

A. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE, Jan. 27.—Superintendent
Zlpf of the American-Yukon Naviga
tion Company announced today that
in the event of the government de
ciding to begin construction on the
Fairbanks end of the new railroad to
the interior during the coming sum
mer. his company will materially in
crease the size of the steamboat fleet
operated on the Tanana and also on
the lower Tukon river In order to
handle the Increase of freight occa
stoned by the material and supplies
which will be shipped Into the lnte
11 lor by the commission. Zipf states
that he believes that the determina
tion to commence construction fFom
Fairbanks toward the coast will also
J result In agreat Influx of people to
the Tanana valley and the company
will have to make extra provision for
handling this traffic by the addition ul'
new steamboats fitted for passengei
service. From all present Indications
He railroad commission Intends to
start work on the Tanana end of the
line at the commencement of the break ^
up and will probably start the first

SEWARD PROTESTS
REPEAL FISH TAX
V P. A. Serviee.
SEWARD, Jan. 27.—The Seward
Chamber of Commerce has passed a
resolution vigorously protesting
against the recommendation of the de
partment of commerce calling for the
repeal of that section of the organic
act by which the territory Is enabled
to place a tax on the salmon fishing
industry.
Beside entering a strong protest
against the attempt to steal away the
right to tax the salmon flatteries, the
resolution also condemns the depart
mi ntal control system ns applied tc
Alaska and Insists that Alaska Is bet
ter able to take care of territorial af
fairs that Is any department, bureau,
or commission now existing or which
might be named by the government.
Reports from other points along the
southeastern coast Indicate that the
attempt of the commerce department
to take away the legislative right to
tax the fisheries has raised a storm
of Indignation and will probably re
sult In other protests being entered
against the action of Redfleld

today.
Just what elYeci the action of the
laborltes will have on the nation Is j
now a matter for serious consideration
and several of the papers plainly hint
that it may result In a complete revolt
of laboring classes. At least one pa
per hints that, with the laboring
classes in open oposltlon to conscrip

trouble in the event that an attempt!
is made to enforce the provisions of
the act.
