Illinois Robbers Escape in
Automobiles After Spec
tacular Scene.
FIREMAN IS HIT ON HEAD
Engineer Is Forced to Bring
Cars to Halt Wild West
Tactics Used.
PAXTON, 111., Nov. 7. A dozen
bandits armed with pistols, shotguns
and bombs, which they used freely,
wounding several trainmen and mail
clerks, held up the New Orleans
limited train on the Illinois Central
railroad tonight and with true wild
west tactics looted the mail car of
all the registered mail and the val
uables in the safe i-nd then escaped
in waiting automobiles, which were
stationed two miles south of Paxton.
The train was first stopped on a
bridge over a small stream by three
bandits on the train, who crept to
the engine cab over the '-ender and
held up the engineer and fireman,
inade the fireman disconnect the
mail car and the baggage ear and
drive further south, where the rest
of the desperadoes helped in the
bombing, dynamiting and firing the
mail car before it could be entered
and looted.
Five Persons Injured.
Those who were injured:
H. Banks, fireman, Chicago, shot,
in the shoulder while helping de
fend the mail car.
Thomas Baker, Carbondale, HI.,
mail clerk, beaten with revolver in
mail car.
B. Bovinette, Mattoon, mail clerk,
shot through wrist and shoulder, not
serious.
Arthur Moon, colored porter," Chi
cago, shot in chest and groin.
K. H. Knowlton, student Univer
sity of Illinois, shot through coat
three times, skin grazed.
The safe was blown open after
the robbers had forced the engineer
and fireman with pistols to discon
nect the mail and baggage cars and
run them to a bridge crossing a
stream.
Fireman Hit Over Head.
The engineer and fireman at first
hesitated to comply with the demand's
the robbers, who crept over the
tender into the cab, but when pistols
ere thrust into their faces and one
of the thugs hit the fireman over the
head with a pistol, the trainmen
complied and escaped further injury.
While disconnecting the car the
conductor put his head out a ves
tibule window to see what was
wrong, but quickly drew it back
when a bullet whizzed past.
Trainmen Follow Commands.
After the locomotive, the mail car
and the baggage car had come to a
halt, the bandits told the engine
crew to open the door on the pretext
of borrowing a wrench. The train
men did as commanded under duress,
but the clerks refused to open the
door. The robbers then shouted
through the door of the steel mail
car that the engineer and fireman
would be shot unless the door was
opened.
The clerks under this threat
opened the door a couple of feet
and the engineer and fireman
climbed aboard. No sooner were the
trainmen in the mail car than they
slammed the door in the face of the
robbers.
Repeated demands from the gang
ct desperadoes that the door be
opened were refused, and the thugs
placed a charge of dynamite under
the front truck of the car.
Coach Is Not Damaged.
The' explosion failed to damage
the heavy steel coach, and the deto
nation also failed to scare those in-
i yfeide into surrendering their fortress,
ir The robbers then fired with re
volvers and awed-off shotguns at
the sheet sides of the coach, but

SITUATION
IN CRUCIAL STAGE
Everything Depends on
Thursday's Meeting.
CRAIG SUMMONS HIS CA6INE
Ulster Premier Refuses to
Take Responsibility Alone.
LLOYD GEORGE MAY QUIT
If British Compromise Proposal
Are Rejected Chief Likely to
Carry Out His Threat.
LONDON. Nov. 7. (By the Asso
elated Press.) Discussions of an Irish
settlement are nearing a climax. After
a long -conference with Mr. Lloyd
George today, Sir James Craig, Ulster
premier summoned members of his
cabinet from Belfast for a meeting
here to consider proposals made by
the British government-
Members of the Ulster cabinet who
will come include John Milne Bar
bour, marquis of Londonderry; U. N.
Andrews, E. A. Archdale and Thomas
Moles, chairman of the committees of
the Ulster parliament.
The official announcement also
stated that there would be a further
conference with Mr, Lloyd George
Thursday.
Situation Extremely Critical.
The Irish situation, it was admitted
in official circles, Is in an extremely
critical stage. It Is understood that
the Ulster premier Informed Mr. Lloyd
George that he could not possibly
think of shouldering the responsibility
of accepting the proposals made to
him by the premier and would be com
pelled to consult his colleagues.
Everything, it is, said, depends on
Thursday's meetings, and if the Ulster
representatives reject the compromise
proposals It Is regarded as possible
Mr. Lloyd George will carry out his
threat to resign.
Ulster Premier Firm.
According to agency reports the
serious official view regarding the
negotiations is due to the stiff attl
tude taken by the Ulster premier in
his interview with the premier. Sir
James, Is represented as Intimating his
firm determination to maintain
Ulster's position, and he is said to
have signified that in his opinion the
proposals which Mr. Lloyd George
submitted to him seriously imperiled
the rights of northern Ireland. In any
case he would concede nothing on his
own responsibility.
Sinn Felnera Patient.
' Sinn Fein delegates are awaiting
patiently and, they Bay, confidently,
the result of conferences between
Lloyd George and Craig. Viscount
Fitzalan, governor-general of Ireland,
was called Into the conference today
and many Irish political leaders and
officials, as we.ll as British unionists
also are being consulted.
In the house of commons Sir Will
iam Henry Davison, coalition-union
ist, tried to draw out Mr. Lloyd
George on what was going on, ask
ing for the assurance that Ulster
would not be coerced or pressed to
surrender anything given it under
the home-rule act.
Premier Declines te Answer.
The premier declined to answer
and expressed the hope that Sir Will
iam's question would not be pressed
while the Irish negotiations were
proceeding.
Meanwhile Michael Collins and
George Gavan Duffy, members of the
Sinn Fein delegation, held further
consultation with Eamonn de Valera
in Dublin today, but it was pointed
out at the .Sinn Fein headquarters
here that nothing could occur on their
side until after the conferences be
tween Mr. Lloyd - George and the
Ulster premier. They declared nothing
had been agreed to.
They said Sinn Fein had put before
the government plans on which they
considered the problem could be
solved, and that the government had
made proposals.
Sinn Fein leaders say that their
proposals are liberal to Ulster. "We
are hoping for a settlement," one of
them said, "and when that comes we
do aot want to have a black spot in
Ireland. Liberal terms should avoid
that."
Two Going to London.
Since the Dail delegates have' re
Iterated their determination not to
enter a conference with the govern
ment and Ulster, but are willing te
meet Sir James Craig, it Is believed
that one of Mr. Lloyd-George's great
est tasks Is to get the Ulster premier
to meet Mr. de Valera or one of his
colleagues. It was regarded as like
ly tonight that the Ulster premier
would return to Belfast soon to dis
cuss with the Ulster cabinet the
questions he has been asked while In
London.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Dublin tonight said Mr. Collins and
Mr. Duffy were leaving tonight for
London. The same dispatch report
ed nine prisoners were released from
Curragh yesterday and that several
others had been released from the
Ballykinlar camp and from other in
ternment camps.
