Two armed bandits visited the Peoples1 Bank in Hawthorne, « New Jersey, this afternoon. Two years ago the bank was held up and the robbers then got $S7,000. They not only got 27,000 —- they got away. Whereupon the bank officials decided then they were going to take steps to prevent its happening again. So they installed a tear gas system, and this afternoon when two gents walked in, each carrying two guns, the cashier. Miss Christina Hinshoot, who didn1! like their looks, signalled to her boss. Bank President James Bobler was sitting at his mahogany desk, and he kicked a foot valve under his desk. And that valve released the gas. The bandits as well as everybody else began to weep salt tears when that gas hit them. And through their tears they fired six shots, one striking the glass around the cashierTs cage. A clerk and the cashier were slightly cut. That's all. When the police arrived the bank floor was ankle deep in tears, but the money was intact — not a nickel got away MtfEDEH That investigation into the death of a prisoner on Long Island looks as though it ___ A.

But the District Attorney of the County declares today that there was a conspiracy among the policemen, a conspiracy to let the blame fall on the detective who is & 3 son of the woman vdiom the dead man is supposed to have attacked.

This after a weekend in which twenty or more were killed, and dozens wounded, in addition to all the heavy casualties of the last few weeks. An emergency meeting of the Cabinet was held this mornin . After that the Minister of the Interior issued a decree outdoor forbidding all/asutiJCK demonstrations. It is generally known that the Cabinet was seriously state considering the proclamation of of siege, or the actual declaration of martial law.

The widespread disorders of the week-end continued today. But they were not so violent. German newspapers this morning published a casualty list. This shows that the number of killed during recent weeks runs into the hundreds, and that of the wounded into the thousands.

A film was being run in quite orthodox fashion for a matinee audience. Suddenly the audience heard the pattering Qf hoofs on the carpeted aisle.
