messengers, employed by the East
River National bunk, were beaten
nnd robbed of $20,000,' while enroute
to the bank. The thugs escaped. It
is believed an organized gang laid
the plans previously.
The messengers were William Smith

Produce Exchange bank and were in
a taxicab. The robbers forced the
driver to take them to a corner where
an auto awaited them.
ELKS MINSTRELS
ASSURED 816 CROWD
HOrSr. WILL BE TAXED
AT TONIGHT'S PERFORMANCE
Bids were opened last night by the
council on the proposed twenty-box
fire alarm system and the fire com
mittee will report after pondering
over them a couple of weeks. The
Vm!y three-standard companies in the
country submitted bids but after that
of the Star company was thrown out
because it did not comply with the
plans and specifications. The Game
weli company, which is the oldest
and largest of the three, submitted
a bid of S3S75 for the installation of
a system with an allowance of $300
for the present apparatus, making
its net bid $3575. The Signalphone
company's bid called for a much less
amount, its gross bid being $2730,
with an allowance of $320 for the old
apparatus.
Whether or not there is any great
difference in the two systems is one
of the problems which the fire com
mittee will deal with before it makes
it3 final recommendation.
