ARMED BANDITS KILL. * Take $5,000 in Streets of Lynn, Mass., Killing Bearers. Lynn, Mass., June 25.?Three bandits armed with automatic magazine revolvers to-day shot and instantly killed Thomas A. Landregan, a shoe manufacturer, fatally wounded James H. Carroll, a police officer, and ran away with a bag containing $5,000 which Mr. Landregan and the policeman were taking from a bank to the shoe factory of Welch & Landregan for the weekly pay roll. Policeman Carroll died shortly afterwards. / The robbery was committed on a \ busy thoroughfare in the heart of # the shoe manufacturing district. Hardly had the noise of the revolver shots and the powder smoke cleared away before the bandits were fleeing from an unorganized posse of 10,000 persons. , An hour later one of the bandits was "dead from a self-inflicted wound, a second was in the hospital with / five bullet wounds while the third was under arerst. Abraham Lyons, who .was wandering through the woods, was shot in the thigh by one * of the robbers who mistook him for * a pursuer. All but $7 of the money that was stolen by the robbers was recovered. The bandits are Russian Poles, ' their ages ranging from 20 to 25 years. I'; One of Band. It is suspected that at least one of them was identified with the Jamaica Plain outlaws who commitl '' ted two murders and terrorized that suburb of Boston in July, 1908. The murder occurred a few minutes after 9 o'clock this morning. One of the robbers seized the money bag and started up Oxford street, while the other two bandits, Vio rj.-vno tho chrkrtHnp- ma dp a - ; vv uv; uuu uvuv v^v www? I&..V demonstration with their revolvers. Finally they ran after their comrade. By this time the pursuit was ^ / on. Every one who had heard of | . the shooting joined in the chase. The bandits headed for High Rock, ^threatening whomsoever they met ; and firing several random shots. . A horse belonging to Miss Bessie Baker was being held by a groom ^ in front of the Baker home. One of the robbers grasped the horse's jbridle and threatening the groom iJvr with death if he interfered, started '% ,/ down the street. rfe ' Girl Ups^fs Plan. p|iv Miss Parker ran out of the house, ' threw her arms around the horse's neck and held on. The bandit there. upon dropped the bridle and ran. Miss Baker told the direction taken by the fcVl robbers and thus aided materially in 'H- their ultimate capture. Reaching the summit of High Rock . the bandits stopped to divide the Stolen money. The silver was left there, only bills being taken. Then Ssj^ they separated and by a circuitous </. ' route managed to reach a field off L : Ford street. It was near this point Pv:. that Lyons was shot by one of the ? bandits, though not seriously. In the meantime a cordon of police jfr and citizens had been thrown around | the entire section of the city. The police discovered one of the bandits in a thicket near Ford street Several gf-:y ?* shots were fired at him and the fugitive returned the fire. The police ; ' called upon him to surrender. He answered by sending a bullet through '$ his brain. He died instantly. He ?> .was wounded in five places. Second Surrenders. A. second bandit was located on Boston street, a short distance away. ^ He surrendered only after he had ' been shot in the arm, the leg, the Z- \ ' breast and the head, he was taken iy Vf to the Lynn hospital and probably '/: will die. 1 He said that his name was Andy Abson and tnat he lived in New ll York City. . The third man was captured with^ out a struggle. One of the fingers W: of his left hand had been shot away, g;, In taking him to police headquarters v . * the officers had a hard time in proK-v N Meeting the prisoner. A crowd made a dash for tL robber, pushed him, knocked him down and kicked him and it was only after a spirited strug. gle that the prisoner was landed safe ly witum uiie suttiuu. The Third Man. v~ This man gave his name as Baccinlv Vladopski. He said his^home was in Boston. Vladopski will be formally charged with murder Monday p morning. Mr. Landregan was 46 years old and married. He was the junior partner in the shoe manufacturing firm of Welch & Landregan. Policeman Carroll was 52 years old and mar( ried. He was prominent in the Order of Elks, being a past exalted ruler of the Lynn lodge. In twenty-five counties of this State there are 1,953 automobiles, ; ?. according to reports made to the department of agriculture by the county clerks of court. It is ex \ pected that when all reports have been received it will be found that the automobiles in tiie State are worth at least $5,000,000. F- ' . I ' ' * i ANOTHER ROW ON. , Adjutant General's Office Again in the Limelight. Columbia, June 25.?Another row , is pending in the office of the adjutant and inspector general. Since , the report of the court of inquiry as ( to the expense accounts of W. T. Brock, the assistant adjutant general and the withdrawal from the race for . the office by J. C. Boyd, the adjutant , general and Col. Brock there has prevailed the atmosphere which may result in Gov. Ansel ordering another court of inquiry to investigate the office of adjutant general. It will be remembered that the court of inquiry called especial atten . tion to the lax business system prevailing in the office of adjutant gen eral. Several days Col. Brock issued a statement to the people of South Carolina in which he gave his rea, sons for not entering the race for adjutant general. In making his explanation as to filing his expense accounts, he said that he had followed the custom of the office. , It is known that Col. Brock has , prepared a letter in which he charges , that C. H. Cabaniss, the retired United States army officer ranking , as a lieutenatnt, who is stationed in the office of adjutant gen^ eral and who gave damaging " testimony in the controversy, . was drunk and made a false report on the inspections of the State mili, tia at a town in the Pee Dee section . of the State. He charges that Col. Cabaniss remained in his room all day and did not make the inspections, In this letter, which is addressed to Gov. Ansel, it is asked that Gov. Ansel make request on the war depart, ment to have Col. Cabaniss removed. This letter persumably was written by Col. Brock. At the bottom there is the following: "The Adjutant General" with a space for signing the name. This letter was sent to Gen. Boyd by Col Brock. Gen. Boyd said - that he had been asked by Col. Brock to sign the letter and send it to Gov. Ansel. Col. Brock will make. no statement. It is known that unless Gen. Boyd signs' the letter and sends it to Gov. Ansel that Col. Brock will bring certain charges against Gen. Boyd as to his conduct while adjutant general. Telegrams and letters have been sent out from the office of adjutant general. Col. Cabaniss is at present in Petersburg, Va. During the military investigation, which cost the State over $1,000, Col. Cabaniss was the best friend that Gen. Boyd had and put himself to a great deal of trouble in getting testimony to show what his expenses were in making the inspections of the State militia. There was some unpleasantness on the stand between 1 Col. Brock and Col. Cabaniss. Gov. Ansel has not arrived at a decision as to how the $1,000 will be secured for the payment of the ex- i penses of the court of inquiry. He J Whs a contingent fund of $5,000. It is hardly probable that the legisia- : ture will have to make an appropria tion for the inquiry. : The situation in the adjutant gen- ] eral's office is proving interesting to the public. It is believed that some effort will be made at the next ses- i sion of the general assembly to take < the office out of politics. A Pig That Caused A War. Champ Clark, the minority leader ] in the house of representatives, says he hopes to write some day a book ] about what a margin of one vote has caused to happen in the history of j this country. One of the instances of ] what one vote will do he describes as follows: i The war between this country and ] England in 1812 was caused by one ( vote, and, stranger still, the small ; margin came from a pig's getting its head stuck in a rail fence. It was a < Rhode Island fence at that; but built < 5much like a Virginia worm fence. They were having an election of < members of the legislature in Rhode i Island. One Federalist put off go- j ing to the election and left himself just time enough to get there before ; the polls closed. Just as he got on his horse and started for town he : heard a pig squeal. He looked around i into that old rail fence, and anybody who knows anything about hogs ; knows that the hogs would have i eaten that pig up if it hadn't been rescued. The farmer stopped long enough to liberate the pig, and when i he got to the polls they had closed. : He was too late. The result was that a Democratic < member of the legislature was elected : from that district by one vote, and he would not have been elected if ! that Federalist had gotten there on time. In the legislature a Democratic ; United States senator was elected by ; one vote, and that Democratic legis- ; lator who had been elected by one i vote voted for him. _ < In the United States Senate they ! voted for the war of 1812 by one vote and that Rhode Island Democratic senator who had been elected because ; that pig got caught in the fence : voted for the war of ?Popular i Magazine. ! * .PASTOR GUILTY OF SLAXDER. Woman Awarded Damages of $4,000 by Jurors at Chicago. Chicago, June 25.?Mrs. Mary Lavender, who sued the Rev. E. D. Crawford, pastor of the Woodlawn Methodist Episcopal church, for $50,000, charging slander, was awarded $4,000 by a jury which returned its verdict in Judge Mangan's court today. Mrs. Lavender charged that Dr. Crawford had accused her to various persons as having been unduly intimate with John D. Leek, former pastor of the Woodlawn church, later at the head of the Western Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, but at present a business man. Dr. Crawford alleges that Mrs. Lavender had confessed her alleged sin to him and that his talk concerning the case was due to a desire to preserve the church. Dr. Leek on the witness stand dec clared that he had sought conferences with Dr. Crawford and Bishop McDowell at the time of the scandal or shortly before, and quit the ministry not with reference to Mrs. Lavender, as Dr. Crawford said, but because he thought he might be accused of a technical misappropriation of church funds. He said that the church was behind in his salary and that he borrowed money from another fund to pay household expenses. Mrs. Lavender was warmly congratulated by a large number of church women who were in court. "More and Better Live Stock." i Columbia, June 25.?The cry, "more and better corn," sounded throughout the length and breadth of South Carolina with the result that the State has developed into one of the great corn producing States of the Union, is now to be supplemented with another, believed to mean even more for the prosperity of the agricultural interests of the Stat'e, "more and better live stock." This is the slogan of the South Carolina Live Stock Association which is undertaking a vigorous campaign for more cows and hogs on the farms and to this campaign will be given the enthusiastic support of the State department of agriculture. As a result, it is predicted that thousands of acres of idle pasture lands will be converted into grazing grounds for cattle and that in a few years South Carolina will not only be saving the. millions annually sent to western markets for live stock and live stock products, but will be shipping live stock and meats to other States of the South. This movement on the part of the State department of agriculture and the South Carolina Live Stock Association- is in line with the efforts of a number^ of agencies interested in the development of the agricultural resources of the South. The Southern Railway Company, through its land and industrial department, has for years urged that more attention be given to live stock, a large portion of every issue of its publication, The Southern Field, being given to this subject, and in other ways has repeatedly called attention to the great opportunities open to the farmers of the South in this particular line, owing to the great increase in the prices of all food products and consequent enlarged profits in their production. That in its last analysis, the problem of soil conservation and soil improvement' must find solution in the Increase of domestic animals on the farms is the conclusion presented by W. J. SDillman. agriculturist in chargk of the office of farm management in the bureau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture, in Farmers' Bulletin 406, on "Soil Conservation," just issued by the department. This interesting bulletin recommends the raising of leguminous crops and the increase in the number of animals on the farms as* the best means to adopt to bring unproductive soil to a high state of fertility. The use of agricultural lime as a supplement to manure and commercial fertilizers is being urged by many farm experts as a substantial aid in this work. From 1300 to 1909 South Carolina's live stock increased in value from $20,199,859.00 to $45,780,000,00 according to the tax figures reported to the State comptroller general. As a result of the campaign ow being inaugurated, it is hoped in the next few years to effect an increase which will make these figures look smal\ What is done in this work in souin uaronna win aouDtiess auract wide attention throughout the South, as did the rise of this State in importance as a corn growing section, and the growth of the live stock industry here will be sure to have great effects for good in all other southern States.

Police Say Three East Side Women Own Six Tenements a Peice. Three orderly East Side old women who, the police say, have grown wealthy from shop-lifting, were in Essex Market court yesterday, charged with grand larceny. They are Mrs. Esther Cohen, of 216 East 117th street, Beckie Brenner, of 64 East 104th street and Mrs. Lena Liber, of 29 East 104th street. The three are charged with robbing Zodik Farkas, a storekeeper of 319 Grand street, of $200 worth of silks. The goods were found on Mrs. Cohen and Mrs Brenner. Farkas says that the three entered his shop and while Mrs. Liber kept a clerk busy the two others picked out things of i value and concealed them under their clothes. Then the two left, leaving g Mrs. Liber still talking to the clerk. g 1 At Grand and Orchard streets were 5 Detective Maddock, who recognized 3 Mrs. Cohen and Mrs. Brenner. Not- . ? ing the suspicious bulk under their f clothes he arrested them and then ?i got Mrs. Liber. g Lieutenant Jimmy Dunn at head- gj quarters found their pictures in the 51 rogues gallary readily, a ^ey have ? been convicted here several times i and Mrs. Liber recently served out g a sentence in Chicago.

Dress Suits for Base Ball. _ During the commencement season at Brown University the seniors give a dance, which lasts till the morning hours. After the girls have been taken home the entire senior class adjourns to the athletic field and there, in the haggard dawn light, play a base ball game. They are, of course, in evening clothes, but the game is conducted according ( to the best traditions of the sport. The white shirt bosoms of the fielders glitter impressively. The catcher's white tie peeps jauntily up over ft his protector.
