ROBBERY SENSATION |
IN CINCINNATI CITY
Notorious Automobile Bandit
Wanted in Three States
for Crime
KILLED IN A POLICE FIGHT
Never Stopped Until His Machine
Struck Pole.?Robs
Banks in Daylight.
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.

lieve that Hohl in his wild automobile
drives, managed to pass the money to
his confederates.
Shortly after 10 a. m. 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. The
police say Hohl usually had a woman

Record as a Criminal.
Altoona, Pa., Dec*. 17.?Methods pur
sued by Frank G. Hohl when he rob-j
bed the Union Rank on March 23rd
last, were almost identical with those
that cost him his life at Cincinnati
today. Driving up to the bank in a
| stolen taxicab the bandit forcing the j
paying teller from his cage and
wounding the cashier. 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.
A Hold began his career of crime in
Harrisburg, his home city, when a boy

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

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 .

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.

SOLD AiR FIGHTERS i I
WORK FOR CHRISTMAS
Most of Flights Were for Observation
Purposes.
THEY SP R l"NG~ SURPRISES.
Accounts of the Damage Differ
and Reconnoitering Was
Main Purpose.
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.
