I OVER ROAD HOUSE ROBBERY
* is • I I f ,
DENVER. Jan. 18.—Prank Mulli
gan. city detective, was arrested late
last night in connection with the rob
bery early last Wednesday morning of
$3,000 worth of diamonds from Mrs.!
Harry T. Nolan, wife of a business i
man, at a roadhouse near Denver.
Mulligan gave $1,000 bond and wasj
released.
The robbery at the roadhouse was
one of the most sensational ever com
mitted in the Denver district. Accord
ing to the story told by the Rev. Oar- ‘
ret J. Burke, pastor of a local church,
who accompanied Mrs. Nolan to the
roadhouse, he had gone there to pro
tect MrB. Nolan and Induce her to
return home. Immediately after the
holdup at the roadhouse, during
which the highwayman fired several
shots at the feet of bis victim, Burke
reported the Incident to the bishop
of the diocese. After an Investigation
of the affair, Burke rras relieved of
his pastorate by the bishop and now
Is believed to be in Salt Lake City.
Frlei.J. of Mrs. Nolan say that she
had gone to the roadhouse as a mem
ber of a party celebrating the advent
of the new year.
CANNON. COAIJTION AND
SPEED ARK NKKDKD
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 18—
Cannon, coalition and speed are the
three elements needed to win the war
in the shortest possible time, Repre
resentatlve Medll McCormick, of Illin
ois, told the house today In a speech
reviewing his three month's tour of
the battle fronts. The allies, he said,
want at least 25,000 great guns, first
of all; then they want men and want j
the heartiest co-operation of all poli
tical elements in America for Its ef
fect on morale to win the war.
Mr. McCormick was the first Am
■ ri^-in congressman to go to the war
. after war was declared, visiting
» fronts of the French. British and
talian armies and talking with the
commanding generals of the allies and I
ruling officials. The drive into Italy, [
lie said, accomplished nearly all that j
was expected of it. and now Germany '
is assembling great forces to move
against the French and British armies
in the west, where a real decision
must be had before America can make [
ready. i
“The German staff, he said, “must
strive to induce France to make peace j
on the score that America will not j
make ready in time. That is why the,
front from the Alps to the channel j
has assumed greater Importance than
at any other time since the battle of
Verdun.”
German soldiers deserted in in
creasing numbers last summer, he
said, and among the captured during
the last few months there were many
youths of 16 and 17.
