the Illinois delegation to congress
would be made up of 15 republi
cans and 12 democrats, This would

gain of five. Their victories in-

was to amount to anything the

demand the resignation of Secre

undnr-secretary of the treasury.
"If the democratic victories do
not mean twee-deedle-dnm." Brook
hart said. 'T for one will not let
organisation of the senate stand
in their way and will gladly give
them the organisation to' .get re
sults. "I will not do tlii as a political
move but will gladly do It to cor
rect the evils of Mcllontsm which
have brought tis to our present
conditions."
The Iowa senator said he thought
Senator Shlustend. farmer-labor.
Minnesota, took his attltudo and
that other progressives felt, the
same way. He added that the
democratic program must "mean
something" to get his supnort and
must not merely he a continuation
of present policies.

were mounted. One man carried
a shot gun and all were armed

Is a small town north of Berkeley.
Two men armed with pistols

ton, garage attendant, gave police
a good description of the men.
No Passengers Robbed
The station agent at Stege, near
Nobel, said one of the bandits
boarded the train between Berke
ley and Nobel and held up the en
gineer and nreman, forcing tnem
to stop the- train at Nobel, which
is not a regular stop. At Nobel the
sedan containing the other robbers
were waiting.
The engineer of the train is R
E. Lemery. The fireman Is S. E.
O'Brien. The bnggage man, also
held up, Is John McCllntock. No
one was hurt and so far as could
he learned no passengers were mo
lested.
The train was No. 36 and runs
dally between Oakland and Tracy.
The train continued after the hold
up. ,
Southern Pacific officers In' San

During the robbery an electric
transformer at the side of tht

gers into a panic. Thinking it wat
a bomb, they got out Jewelry,
money and other valuables and
held them in their laps. But the
bandits were after bigger loot nua
ignored passengers.
Part of Loot Pound
After the robbery, which was
executed wtih precision, the rob
bers piled into their waiting ca,
and dashed away. A trail of loot
found later indicated they had
gone toward Oakland.
O. F. Fredericks, station agent
at Stege, accompanied by South
ern Pacific special officers, found
J1.000 in currency, evidently part
of the loot, behind a hedge near
Stege. A slashed mall sack was
fould near the Berkeley city limits
and an empty pistol holster on a
flat car near istege.
. Descriptions of the bandits were
given by members of the train
crew. One was said to be 6 feet 8
inches tall, weighed about 130

years old. He was slender, wo'e a
dark suit and gray cap. The other
was 5 feet 9 Inches tall, 25 years
old, of medium complexion, weigh
ed about 145 pounds, wore r, gray
suit and was bareheaded.
