ROBBED OF $14;000 BY BAND OF KR
Escaped in High-powered. Car Driven by Fifth Thug—Hold-
up Occurred at 2.50 iNthe Afternoon — Probably the
Same Men Who Recently Robbed the Bank
of Hamilton in Toronto.
A despatch from London, Ont,.
says:—Walking into the Bank of
Toronto at Wyoming, a village
45 miles west of London, on
the G. T, R,, on Thursday after-
noon, four auto bandits Held up
Manager 11, E. Lambert and his staff
°sand made their escape with $14,000 in
cash in a sigh -powered .ear, the motor
of which a fifth thug had kept run-
ning while the robbery was taking
place. The hold-up occurred at 2.50.
'a.' Ronald Brown, one of the clerks,.
slipped out the back door and gave
the alarm, firing five slats at 'the rob-
bers as they jumped into their car
at;d drove away. The bandits, who
were all armed, fired at everybody
they saw, compelling many people
who sought to give chase to seek
cove'' behind telephone poles er in
doorways.
W. Garlick, a traveller for the In-
gersoll Packing Company, was pass-
ing the bank at the time, and two of Recent bank hold-ups hi Ontario

miles from London, on the same night.
When the London police receive.'
word of the hold-up Chief Birrell at
once despatched a powerful ear loaded.
'with detectives and police to join in
the hunt for the criminals. As the
bandits had headed toward London
when they left Wyoming, the local
officers went out the Sarnia gravel
road in the hope of meeting them.
They say that at one time they must
have been within a couple of miles of
their quarry, but the latter were on
a road paralleling the Sarnia gravel
road and easily avoided their pu_-
suers.
St. Mary's, Stratford and Guelph
police were at once learned to be on
the .lookout for the gunmen, as it
was thought they were heading back
toward Toronto.

tural Products to be

A ii<'spateh from Wa Kington
:;aye: ---Sonne of the strongest leaders
of the Harding adrehthetration are
working quietly but persistently and
effectively, it is stated, to prevent re-
vision of the tariff for another .fifteen
months. It is their plan to throw
tariff revision over until the congre-
aioual elections of November. W22,
have been &aid'ed.
The impre:esion is steadily growing
in Washington that the prospects for
passim; a tariff bill this winter are
becoming remote. The resolution to
extend the emergency rates on age-
•cultural products wall pass.

Luckner Well Fitted for
'Role of Pirate.
A despatch from Berlin. says —
Captain Count Felix von Luekner, who
nonamanded the German ,sea raider,

movies. He will play the role of ai
pirate in a film called "Mabel and.
Suitor," produced by the Vera Film

Certainly, Count von Luckner is
well fitted to the role. For seven
months the Seeadler roamed the At-
lantic and Pacific oceans and sank
no less than 25 Entente vessels, ac-
cording to Von Luekner's claim. Fin -
