Very good descriptions of the men have been secured.This morning the police began -he examination of four men taken in yesterday as suspects.The .nspectors of the bank worked dur-.ng the night to check up the exact amount of money that was stolen, it was clear that while it would take some time to secure accurate information, the bandits failed to get away with most of the money in the Dank car, and that their carefully Manned holdup was spoiled by the courage of the messengers in charge of the cash.DESCRIBED BATTLE A dramatic decription of the fight for the bank money was supplied oy A.'Chaput, an employee of the C.P.R., who was working on the bridge over the subway in which the bold-up took place.He said that when he heard the rattle of rifles he looked over the parapet.He saw the banK chauffeur get out of his car and reel coughing across the street, ultimately falling vn the street car tracks.Anotifjf man in the bank car stood up and fired his revolver at the masked bandits.One of the robbers stood in the middle of Ihc road moving his shot gun from side to side as he fired, j quickly reloading.The appearance of two motor cycle policemen apparently fngmenea tne bandits, because, after exchanging a few shots with them, they jumped mto their cars and made off.The bandits hud evidently detailed off two men to pick up the loot, because these men worked at transferring the parcels of money from the bank car during all the shooting and took no part in the firing.CAREER OF DEAD BANDIT The criminal career of Paul Webster, alias H.P.Stone, the bandit who was killed, appears to have started in Vancouver.He was arrested there but acquitted in 1908.Ho was arrested there again for vagrancy in 1911 and again discharged.He then became an International drug smuggler.He waa charged in y V DR.HORACE CHARLES MAYO, known widely to Canadians through his association with the Mayo clinic MANY KILLED DURING PANIC IN THEATRE Many of Vidims Were Trampled Wincî of Gale Velocity Whipped to Mad Fury a Snowstorm in Rush for Exits or Electrocuted by a Hanging Wire.(Associated Press Despatch) MEXICO CITY, April 2.\u2014Twenty-six persons are dead and at least fifty-six injured in consequence of a fire and panic in a motion picture theatre last night at Tacubaya City, a suburb of the capital.The maiority of the victims were Which Made Slush and Snow Drift from Virginia Capes to Eastport, Maine, All in Striking Contrast with Arrival in New York of First Louisiana Strawberries and New Green Peas from California\u2014Storm Came from South, Venting Its Fury in Maryland Early Yesterday Morning.(Associated Press Despatch) NEW YORK, Apr.2.\u2014Mild tragedy in her wake, all day April, tongue in her cheek, the in Rochester, Minnesota, who is_ re->trampled in the rush for exits or yesterday \u2019 crashed deep thunder, ported to be \u2018\u2018giving consideration\u201d j electrocuted by a wire hanging neck '\t\" \u2019 .to the suggestion that he run for the high in the main aisle.U.S.presidency on the Democratic The fire was caused by a short ticket.This famous surgeon and his circuit of the same wire, which be-brother contributed $2.000,000 to the came loosened, falling upon the Mayo foundation in 1915.\taudience.Opponents To Labor Measure Dealing With Rents And Evictions Declare That It Is Iniquitous-Big Fight Deemed Inevitable Main Feature of Bill Is that Tenant Shall Not Be Liable to Eviction for Non-Payment of Rent When Such Non-Payment Is Due to Tenant\u2019s Inability to Secure Employment\u2014Suggestion Is Made in Some Quarters that MacDonald Government Is Riding for a Fall.L (Associated Press Despatch) ONDON, April 2.\u2014- The \"reddest piece of work yet attempted by the Labor Government,\u2019\u2019 is the description applied by the Ministry\u2019s opponents1 to the bill dealing with rents and evictions which comes up for its second reading in the House of Commons today and which promises to set the politcial heather afire.Its ponsor is the Minister of Health John Wheatly.The main feature of the bill, which repeals some recent legislation, is that a tenant shall not be liable to eviction for non-payment of rent when such non-payment is due to the tenant's inability to get employment.All the provisions of the measure are retroactive.1 he Conservatives have risen in arms against the bill and giv,-notice of a motion for its rejec don, while many of the Liberals are apparently equally hostile and even some of the moderate Laborites are said to be doubtfr of its wisdom.Its opponents de clare the measure is iniquitous, and ask why the landlords are singled out to bear such a burden; why not equally compel the grocer and butcher to provide food for nothing.They also contend that the actual tenant of a house might be unemployed, while others of his family were earning money, and thus be well able to meet his obligations.The measure was initiated and BRIUSH SHIP IS REPORTED TO BE ON FIRE Flames Are Spreading, Message States\u2014Vessel Is Being Accompanied by Other Ships.spat forked lightning, blew wind from the northeast at forty-five knots an hour and whipped to a mad fury a snow storm which made slush and snow drift from the Virginia capes to Eastport, Maine, all in striking contrast with the arrival in New York of the first Louisiana strawberries and new green peas from California.Snow clouding the vision of a motorman brought on a collision of elevated trains here in which one man was killed and thirteen taken to the hospital with broken bones and other injuries.Piling on the tracks, the drifts delayed and held up trains in Baltimore, caused the postponement of the races at the Bowie track, in Washington paralyzed traffic and caused the adjournment of the Senate two hours earlier than usual.Wind and snow carried away telephone and telegraph wires throughout the East, harried harbor traffic in New York and Boston, and impelled the display of storm signals at Cape Hatteras.The storm came from the south, venting its fury in Maryland early yesterday morning.Baltimore reported nine inches of snow, the Cumberland Valley six, and New York shortly after midnight three.The weather bureau let it be known that except for 1922 and 1923, no April since 1911 had been without its snowy outburst and that in April 1915, and 1917, ten inches fell.n am « t itil Y / fj SNOW TURNED TO RAIN (Associated Press Despatch) BOSTON, Apr.2.\u2014A heavy east-rAssociated Press Despatch) erly snowstorm accompanied by a LONDON) Apr.2.\u2014The British wind of gale velocity swept over the j steamer Frangestan, bound for Jed- New England States last night.\t.\t.dah, with twelve hundred pilgrims Snow later turned into rain.Traf- Keport ot Appropriation Ac- WILL HAYS, former postmaster* general in the Harding cabinet and present czar of moviedom, who waa given $25,000 in connection with a deal for the presidential nomination, according to the testimony of Al, Jennings, politician and one-time ter* ror of the wild west.IRISH GOVT.ACCOUNTS IN BAD SHAPE aboard, is afire between decks, says fic was impeded, and telegraph and a Lloyds despatch from Port Sudan, telephone service affected.The fire, which is consuming the The coast was swept by a north- ! cotton in the vessel\u2019s number 2 hold, west wind that reached a velocity of;
