A BOLD DAYLIGHT HOLDUP
Hundreds Look On As Theft Takes
Place on Crowded Street In Motor
Factory District of Detroit.-Money
For Burroughs Adding Machine Co.
Detroit.-Five unmasked automobile
bandits held up an automobile in
which $50,000 pay roll money was be
ing taken to the plant of the Bur
roughs Adding Machine Company and
before astonished guards could offer
resistance snatched flive of six bags
in the car, said to have contained
$33,000 or $34,000 and escaped.
The hold-up took place on Bur
roughs, between Woodward and Cass
avenues In view of hundreds of em
ployes of Learby automobile facto
ries and the usual afternoon throngs
on Woodward avenue.
Rudolph, a Burroughs guard, was
shot through the thigh and struck
on the head with the butt end of a
pistol, when he tried to intercept the
robbers.
Witnesses declared the five bandits
apparently ranged in age from 18 tc
60 years. No one, however, seemed
able to give a good description
They were armed with rifles and au
tomatic pistols.
Witnesses of the daring robbery
declared the apparent failure of the
pay car gaurds to realize what wae
taking place aided the bandits' suc
cesses. One guard said he though
a motion picture scenario was beini
staged.
Although policemen on motorey
cles and in automobiles were quickl;
sent in pursuit of the bandits, the
had not been rounded up. Elevet
machines filled with officers wer
scouring the country in every dire<
tion after a fruitless chase of 3
miles. The bandits -were thought t
have been cornered about 30 mile
northwest of the city, but when off
cers closed In the bandits' car wa
uot to be found.
The amount obtained by the bal
dits at first placed as high as $46
000, later was declared by P. C
Chapman, secretary-treasurer of th
Burroughs Company to have been bi
tween $33,000 and $34,000. A car to
lowing the one held up, carrying $7
000 was not molested.

ANNIVERSARY
SUBMARINE GETS AWAI
CAPTAIN KOENIG CONFIDENT HI
WILL TAKE DEUTSCHLAND
HOME.
Captain Koenig Knows. That Eigh
Warships of the Entente Allies Ar
Waiting for Him at the Edge of th
Three Mile Limit.
Balftimore.-On the second anniver
sary of Germany's declaration of wa
against Russia, the German submairini
merchantman Deutschland set ou
from Baltimore on a return voyage t<
Germany with a declaration of confl
dence from her commander, Captai
Paul Koenig, that he would take he
home in spite of the heavy odds sh<
would face when' the three-mile limi
in the Atlantic is reached.
The submersible was towed ouit 0
the slip where she was berthed 23 day)
ago. After getting into midstrean
the towline of the tug Thomas F. Tim
mins was cast off and the Deutschlan<
proceeded down the Patapsco Rive
under her own power. The Timmin
went to one side, the coast guard cui
ter Wissahickon to the other, and th
harbor police boat Lannan brought ui
the rear to prevent undue crowdin
by the small fiet of launches.
Captain Koenig and his crew of 2
men .put to sea with the knowledg
that a man hurried to a telephon
with a message to agents for the Er
tent Allies that the Deutschland ha
started. They knew how long he ha
watched at a nearby pier, day an
night, but the little captain went ou
of Baltimore harbor smiling and wa,
ing his cap. His last words in th
harbor were of praise for America an
for his treatment here by Baltimor
customs authorities. To Guy Steelc
surveyor of customs, he said:
"We came here dubious about oi
reception. We go back certain the
the friendliest of feeling exists I
America for Germany. You have bee
more than courteous and the Fathe
land will not forget it."
Captain Koenig knows that ei
warships of the Entente Allies ar
waiting for him at the edge of th
three-mile limit, spread out in a radiu
of five miles.
"We shall have to pass unsee
within that radius in order to escape,
he said. "We shall have to make the
passage under conditions not entirel
advantageous to us. With the wate
at that point 150 feet dleep it would b
easier. We could submerge deepl
enough to pass underneatih the wa:
ships. But the water there is not 15
feet deep. We shall, therefore hay
to pass between the warships."
$540,000 FLOOD FUND FOR
SOUTH VOTED iN CONGRES:
Washington.--By unanimous vot
the Senate passed a joint resolutlo:
appropriating $540,000 for relief I:
flooded districts of North Caroline
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ale
bama and Mississippi which was rt
ported by Senator Overman. Sentor
Simmons and Overman advocated thi
relief in speeches which lay bare th
conditions in North Carolina and cite
precedent for Federal assistance.
"It is the same sort of appeal tha
we are hearing today from the othe
sled of the water," said Senator Sine
mons, who referred to conditions la
Belgium and Poland. "The territor
affected is nearly a third of Nort)
Carolina. The number of persons al
feeted is great. The damage is tre
mendous. The people are mostly fat
mers--and small farmers. Local at
'thorities are doing all they can t<
give people work ana meet the need
hut they cannqt do as much as is net
essary."
"The precedent .already has bee1
set," said1 Senator Overman. "MV
lions were appropriated for sufferer
of Mount Pelee, of San Francisco ani
of Italy in time of earthquakes; Gal
veston, after the tidal wave, and to
Sallem, Mass., Boston and Chicago be
cause of fires. The people affected ar
absolutely helpless. -My state ha

VESSEL GOT AWAY
CAPT. HINSCH TELLS OF THE
DEPARTURE ON THE SUBMA
RINE DEUTSCHLAND.
SAFELY AT SEA ON HER WAY
Captain Who Directed Departure Says
Vessel Went Under the Water When
Only a Mile Inside The Three-Mile
Limit.
Norfolk, Va.-So far as is known
here the Deutschland is safely at sea
on her way to Bremen after success.
fully running through the patrol of
Allied cruisers off the Virginia caipes.
It is not believed the Deutschland
experienced the slightest difficulty in
evading the cruisers. Captain Hinsch,
of the war-bound German liner Nec.
kar, who directed the departure of tahe
submarine said that the underwater
freighter passed unobserved within
one hundred yards of a United States
destroyer on neutrality duty about a
mile off the capes.
"When we came to a stop at a point
in the bay I shall not disclose because
we probably shall have to use the
plaoce again," said Oaptain Hinselh,
"the pilot aboard the submarine was
taken off to the Thomas F. Timmons,
our tug. It was then about 5 o'clock
in the morning. The submarine was
submer'ed, so that her machinery and
pumps could be tested and the cargo
be trimmed, should it be necessary.
She went down in a deep hole in the
bay to a depth of 135 feet remaining
there for some time.
"When she came to the surface
again, Captain Koenig came up
'through the conning towers and said
that everything was working per
fectly. That pleased us, I can tell you.
We had thought we might have to
rearrange some things, after it was
seen how the Deut'schland worked In
salt water. The tests in the dock at
Daltimore were made in fesh water,
you know.
"The trial completed we started off
down the bay and when no traffic was
in sight the Deutschland took another
dive while running. She went down
untdl only a few inches of her per
scope was showing above the water.
Then I dropped behind to see ait what
distance the wake of the Deutschland
or -the foam crest of the periscope
could be seen. About 400 yards with
glasses I could not see a thing.
"The tests having proved that the
Detuschland was in perfect condition
we wont into a place to hide for a
t while. Any one would have had great
difficulty in finding us.
"In the afternoon we started for
'the capes and you know how the bet
ter part of the trip was made. The
destroyer was passed in the dark. As
soon as the men on the bridge sight
r ed the lights of the Timmins they
, watched us closely and looked all
n aonfor the submarine which Dass
ed them at a distance of only a hun
'dred yards. At the time the submna
nine was submerged until her decks
twere awash."
etROGER CASEMENT MET HIS
a DEATH ON GALLOWS BRAVELY.
n Last Utterance Was, "I Die For My
Country."
t London-With only two chaplains
and minor officials of the Government
r looking on, Roger Casement, once
a knighted for his services to the Crown
while a British Consul, was hanged
.as a traitor in the Pentonville jail
D here. The trap was sprung at one
* minute after 9 o'clock and when a
single stroke of the prison bell an
nounced the grim fact to a waiting
crowd outside only a chorus of cheers
, and groans replied, while at one spot
a group of about 30 Irish women fell
a on their knees and prayed for the
a soul of their fellow countryman.
1 Casement, convicted of conspiring
,to cause an armed revolt in Ireland
.and with having sought German aid
.to that end, met his death with calm
courage ,according to witnesses, anld
a his last utterance was, "I die for my
