I Frank (i. Hohh a notorious automobile bandit, was shot to death in Cincinnatti last Thursday by policemen1 x after a sensational three hours of crime, which included daylight robbery of two Cincinnati banks, theft of an automobile and a pistol due*, with the police, resulting in wounds to one officer that are expected to prove fatal. Thirteen thousad an done hundred dollars is missing as a result of t.lio l>!inV rriLLorino 'I'lin ! , ./?/Mv4 iv v.

Hohl entered the Western! branch of the Provident Savings Bank & Trust company at Eight and Freeman avenue, fired two shots at Cashier Edward Hughes, | scooped up $8,000 in currency and bacea through the door. Jumping in to a waiting automobile which had been stolen, he quickly disappeared. Cashier Hughes tired after him, but the shots did not take effect. More than an hour later the bandit J entered the Liberty Banking & Savings company bank at Liberty and Freeman avenue, 10 blocks away, tired two shots at Cashier George Winters, took $5,100 in currency, ran to his automobile and disappeared. The shots j were so close to Winters that he was; powder burned, but he was uninjured. Battle With Police. Almost two hours after the second robbery, Harry Buckshorn, whose i mother conducts an apartment house | on West Ninth street, told the police * that a man answering to the discnption of the bandit, has rented a room there yesterday. Three policemen called at the room. When they knocked, the door was suddenly thrown open and Hohl brushed past the officers firing as he ran. Policeman Edward Knoul was probably fatally wounded. Hohl again ran to his automobile, which was standing at a nearby cornel-, and made fair to again make good his escape. In rounding a corner, however, the machine crashed into a telegraph pole and was wrecked. The bandit jumped out and opened fire on the two officers who had pursued J him. In the battle that followed Hohl fell with four bullet wounds in his body. Ho died shortly afterward at a hospital. Hohl was well known to the police, who claim he shot up an Altoona, Pa., . bank, on March 3rd, and was arrested 1 and while being conveyed to t h ? Pittsburg jail, threw a cup of cofl'ee in his guard's face and escaped. He was again captured but subsequently escaped from the Hollidayslnjrg, Pa., jail. Ho was wanted, authorities declared, for a diamond robbery in y ^Kansas City, .Mo., a year ago, where ' he assumed the name of Howe.

He took nearly $3,000 in bills from the safe, wounding a depositor he met at the door as he left. Scattering the crowd on the street with a fusilade of shots he disappeared in the taxicab. The machine was found abandoned several hours later. Hohl was arrested at Salem, Ohio, April 4th. He made a desperate attempt to escape in Pittsburg while being conveyed here. Hohl escaped from the Hollidaysburg jail in a sensational manner on April 12th. Making a rope from theh ^ mattress cover in his cell he removed tho bars of a window eight feet above the floor. The bars, which were covered with soap, were less than six inches apart. He then drew himself up to the roof and lowered himself to the ground with the improvised rope . attached to a chimney.

BiSING OF FILIPINOS | SAID TO BE NOTHING 3overnor Harrison's Report Minimizes the Trouble WAS A GRAFTING SCHEME< The Story Which Got Abroad of Revolution is Without Foundation Details of the native uprising in the Philipines last week were given in a cablegram received by the war depart men! from Gov. Gen. Harrison. The 4 y port minimized the incident. Philipino.; assembled in Manila and Navotas Christmas Kve, it stated, and at Cnguna <le Hay and attemnted to make trouble. Fbrty men were arrest ed and one shot by a policeman. Gov. Harrison reported that the dis orders had been suppressed, that everything was quiet and elVorts were being made to arrest the leaders, the chief of whom, he said, was believed to be a man under sentence of im prisonmcnt tor homicide. He added that nobody of any influence or stand ing was concerned and described the movement as "small and unsuccessful." It was connected, he said, with the campaign of Ricarte, who had conducted a revolutionary propaganda from Hong Kong for several years, "appealing to the most ignorant class es of Filipinos." With Gov. Harrison's dispatch the department tonight gave out a message sent him December 21, telling of newspaper reports of a threatened Filipino revolt. To this, on December 22, Gov. Harrison replied: "No foundation whatever known here for reports." The report received from Gov. Harrison today was in response to a later inquiry as to the truth of newspaper, stories that military preparations were being made to deal with a revolutionary nlot: that p-uns had boon distributed to American civilians on Carabao and Fraile islands and in Manila; and that two native scout officers had been arrested at Corregidor island. The governor general's dispatch, dated this morning, follows: "Referring to telegrams from your ofTice of 24 inst., army headquarters state there is absolutely no truth in the report about Corregidor, Carabao and Fraile alleged occurrences. A Small Movement. "On Christmas Eve there was a small and unsuccessful movement in .Manila connected with the Ricarte campaign. Ricarte has for several years conducted from Hong Kong revolutionery propaganda appealing to the most ingnorant classes of Filipinos and selling through his agents in the islands commissions in his socalled army for sums from a peseta t<> 10 pesos (10 cents to $5.) During the last three months five of the Ricarte leaders have been arrested and sentenced to four or six years, including Ricarto's right-hand man. It has been regarded as a grafting scheme under a revolutionary guise, but from time to time arouses excitement among uneducated classes. "UUristmas Eve about 7"> mon, extremely ignorant without firearms, met at the botanical garden in Manila and were dispersed by the municipal police without disorder except that three shots were tired into the air by police, and 20 men arrested. Might of the latter were held upon the charge of carrying concealed weapons ?knives and bolos. Nobody was injured except one man, who was shot by n policeman later in the night in another part of the city when he attacked the policeman with a bolo. Arrests are Made, Movements similar in character occurred at Navotas, ten miles from Monila, when 40 men assembled and endeavored unsuccessfully to loot the municipal safe, taking the provincial governor prisoner who afterwards escaped uninjured. Twenty of this party were captured by constabulary or municipal police. "Then men with two firearms in Leguna de Bay attempted to make trouble last night with no results. Everything quiet and vigorous attoiimls will V?r? >vi?i/l.r> ..... niivm: wv/ BCtun: H'.UK'IS chief of whom is believed to l>o a man under sentence of imprisonment for homicide, who has jumped his ba i 1. "Nobody of any standing or influence is concerned in this movement." Assistant Secretary Heckenridge said Gov. Harrison's report was complete and that no request would he made for information about the trouble. Administration officials have refused to believe that the uprising was serious, but have watched the situation closely, because of its possible hearing' on the Jones bill granting more independence to the natives, which has been passed by the house % \9 ? * anil now is pending in the senate. The senate Vhillipine committee | will continue its hearing on the measure Wednesday and Chairman Hitchcock said today the war department would he asked for full information concerning thr> trouble. I Officials close to the White House said that the incident would not affect President Wilson's advocacy of the bill . TMiun M' i l<>s run: W. II. Sawyer 1 .noses House for Second Time. Mullins, Doc. 27?The old saying ihat' when fire occurs once it is generally followed by the second and third fires is again the case here.! Tuesday and Friday night of this week saw bad fires in Mullins and on last night about Iff o'clock another lire was discovered within a radius of two blocks of where the two fires took place during the week. The lire was seen in the roofing of W. II. Sawyer's) residence and much work was done by the firemen to extinguish the flames. The building was soon in flames and was burned to the ground j in a short while. The dwelling was! built this year and was the second ! time during* this year that Mr. Sawyer! has lost Ins home. Mr. Sawyer and his family were out of the city and knew nothing of the lire until their return on a morning train. The two previous fires of the week occurred i while the owners were out of the city, and there is a belief that the fires are the act of robbers. Mr. Sawyer carried $1,500 insurance. ENGLAND ANSWERED BACK. "On December 15 eight British ships made a dash into a German bay. Hydroaeroplanes convoyed by them made an advance against the mouth of German rivers and dropped bombs on ships lying at anchor and a gas tank near Cruxhavcn, without hitting them or doing damage. "The hydroaeroplanes were fi*ed at and withdrew in a .westerly direction. German airships and aeroplanes reconnoitered against the British forces and succeeded in hitting with bombs two British destroyers and one other vessel of the convoy. On the latter tire broke out. "Fog prevented a continuation of the lighting." Negro Shot by Negro. Al. Kenyon, 12-years of age, colored was shot and almost instantly killed Sunday afternoon at Newport, Carteret county, N. C., by Levi Chapman, j also colored, 1(5 years of age. The killing was done with a d>2 calibre revolver, and the slayer claims that he did it in self-defense. However, this is a matter of speculation. Both boys were at Chapman's home, an.d, according to the latter's version of the affair, the revolver was accidently discharged, and the bullet entered Kenyon's heart.

Creel, the aged man now being' held who was placed in the county* jail at I Newborn, N. C., a short time after th^T killing', still sticks to the story he told : to the effect that he committed the crime in self defense. Hurbide Ordered Taken. General Villa, last V'iday night telegraphed oflicials at Chihuahua to | remove Eduardo Tturbardo from a northbound train and return him a prisoner to Mexico City. Iturbide acted as governor of the Federal district for a short time after the Carranza forces evacuated. Upon the entrance of Zapata, he wont into hiding. It was said he was concealed in a foreign legation until two days ago when he was smuggled into a sleeping car and started for El Paso. Citation Notice.

London, Doe. 27.?The airmen of tlio belligerents countries spent a busy a busy Christmas holiday. While a solitary German 11 w over the Thames estuary and dropped a single bomb which fell in a roadway and did no damage, a convoy of seven British navy seaplanes visited the German base at Cruxhavcn and dropped bombs on ships and the gas works. All the British airmen returned safely to the ships which convoyed them. Similar activity was displayed along the battle front, Germ m airmen pay ing a surprise visit to Nancy; French aviators to Metz; British to Brussels and other Belgian towns occupied by the Germans and German airmen to Polish cities. As usual, accounts of the damages done differ. While bombs were dropped during these (lights, most of the flights were for reconnoitering. Except in the Argonne and Alsace, where the French have made some progress, and outside of aritllery practice the battles in the west for the last two days largely consisted of German attacks, to counter those of the allies and to prevent the latter from organizing the ground they had gained. In Poland, where the Rrussian emperor has joined Grand Duke Nicholas at Russian headquarters, the German attacks on the Bzura and Rawka rivers are being made almost exclusively with artillery, while an offensive in force has been assumed furj ther south along the river Pilica, j where hard fighting continues and both sides claim to have inflicted heavy losses. The Russians apparently have again gained ascendency over the Austrians in South Poland and Galicia. The Austrians admit the loss of the towns of Jasio and Krosr.o, on the South Galician railway, which their army from across the Carpathians recaptured a week or more ago. The Russian report tonight is the record of a series of victories from middle Poland to the foot hills of the Carpathians. It records the capture of l!l,f>00 prisoners and a number ol guns and unless some prisoners have been counted more than once the Russians, according to their own accounts, have fallen .'10,000 Austrian prisoners since they assumed the offensive.

A hostile aeroplane dropped a bomb over Dover on Christmas lOve and then disappeared, according to a state meat made by the official press bureau 'Idle text of the statement follows: "An aeroplane of the enemy dropped a bomb while passing over Dover this morning. The missile fell in a garden and exploded, but no damage was done. The aeroplane was seen for a few seconds only. It left immediately, passing out over the sea. A British air craft went up, but did not see the enemy again. The weather was cloudy and foggy." A SPKLUNG LKSSON. What docs (Jhoughphthoightteeau spell ? Do you give it up?
