BUSINESS I STANDSTILL If flip American voters so split (lieir ballots that they are unable to make a clear cut choice for president— if there is a deadlock and lame-duck congress must choose our president for us— we will learn of it in the election extras Issued by The Omaha Bee on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Who may be tlip choice of that lame-duck congress, we will not know however, for four months. Congress would not even begin to ballot until February 11. The actual choice, if one could bo made, would not come until the last hour before the expiration of President Coolidge’s term. The fanciful story here presented, may not be fanciful if a deadlock results. One tiling seems certain— President Coolidge may need just eight votes in the electoral college —those eight votes can be given by Nebraska. Any other outcome in Nebraska may bring the very sit uation tills story depicts. In order to present a picture of wliat would happen in the event of a deadlock R. H. Peters of the editorial staff of The Omaha Bee, has projected his thoughts to such a situation. By R. hTpETERS Staff Correspondent Tlie Omaha llee. Washington, March 3, 1925.—With the country facing the possibility of being without a constitutionally elected president Inside the next 24 hours, President Coolidge again called party chieftans to the White House tonight for conference. With them were summoned leaders of in dustry and labor who have ntirribd to Washington within the past few days to plead for some settlement which will not necessitate another general election. As this Is written no hint has come from the conference. The three parties that have battled for supremacy since that fateful second Wednesday in February when the election went Into congress, have not found an exit from the turmoil that lias proved so fateful to the United States. In the house and senate chambers where, for three tense weeks, repre sentatives and senators have hope lessly balloted to name a president and vice president, there is a lull in the ever rising storm while floor leaders confer with the president. Nebraska Unable to Vole. The 110th ballot in the house to night. the last taken before recess, gave no indication that state dele gations had been moved by pleas for Coolidge or Davis. Wisconsin is still doggedly casting its one vote for La Follette. The "solid south” was never more solid. The republican states are as determined on Coolidge as they were thre weeks ago. It is almost a replica of the demo rratlc convention at New York with the mask of tragedy slipped over the grinning face of comedy. Five stales, Nebraska, Montana, Maryland. New Jersey and New Hampshire, have yet to cast their first ballot. Each has its own small deadlock and, unless some one in these equally divided delegations gives way. not one of them will cast a vote before the house goes out of existence at noon tomorrow.

Iowa Raked for Trace of Bandit Gang Sheriffs Search for Band Which Terrorized Town in Organized Bank Robbery. Volley of Shots Fired Special lli-pntrli to Tile Oniiilin Iter. Soldier, la., Oct. 29.—Iowa sheriffs and police officers are scouring every portion of the southwestern part of the state in a search for the band of desperados who, early Wednesday morning terrorized Soldier and looted the bank of approximately $7,000. The search was being carried on intensely by authorities in the belief that the desperados are members of the gang to which Harry Raymond belonged and which looted the bank at Little Sioux last Tuesday. The theory of the authorities is that the gang, augmented by members who had been working in other parts of the country, is now executing a cam paign of robbery through which they hope to obtain funds for the defense of Raymond. Every precaution is being taken to block any attempt on the part of the band to liberate the man who is now under arrest. That the gang is des perate and considers life of others not at all the various sheriffs are sure. In all the crimes which have been charged against the gang no effort to spare the use of firearms has been made. The men operate with the same tactics in every instance. When they swooped down on Sol dier this morning they used two tour ing cars. At Little Sioux they used a sedan. This sedan was later found wrecked near Tabor, la. The bandits arrived at Soldier about 1 this morning. They began work at once. E. C. Junger, cashier of the bank, was aroused and went to investigate. He could see the men working at tile vault and began to shoot through the window at them. His shots apparently had no effect on the desperados and they continued to work. His shooting aroused the en tire town but so carefully had the robbers planned that the patrol main tained in the street forced everyone to remain indoors. The bandits were cool and executed the robbery as though they were experienced in their work. During the morning a report was made to Council Bluffs police that some of the bandits had been seen on the road near Macedonia, la. An unidentified man had driven from Melvern, la., to Macedonia. Three miles from Macedonia, on the return trip, the man was stopped by three armed men who ordered him to get out of his machine. A machine which the armed men had evidently been driving Iny wrecked in the ditch beside the road. When the armed men. believed to have been part of the bandit gang, at tempted to start the unidentified man's car they met with difficulties, finally gave up the attempt and went away. The man then came to Coun cil Bluffs to tell police what hail hap pened, a call came front Des Moines telling of the same incident and the man agreed to go to the sheriff at Onawa and tell his story. The man never reached Onawa as fas as could be learned. The al leged wrecked automobile could not be found and officers are now scoff ing at the report. Arrive at l A. M. The gang. In two touring cars, ar rived at Soldier at 1 a. m. Junger heard them at work In the bank a few moments later; he hnd not yet retired. He Immediately left the house to investigate, hut no sooner had he reached the sidewalk than he was arrested by a gruff voice at his elbow: “Oct back Into that house or I'll blow your brains out." Junger could not sec the bandit, lie cause it was a black night, but be took no chances. He returned to the house. From there he could see a dim light in the hank, and patrollng the streets were armed men, perhaps nine in all. Dr. Emil Younger, living next door to the bank, also heard the bandits at work. He hastily dressed and suc ceeded in rousing some of the mem bers of the town's vigilance commit tee before he was chased bark to his house. He first tried to reach them by telephone, hut the robbers had taken the precaution to cut all wires. Interior Wrecked. Whenever a light appeared In a house one of the robbers would shout: "Put out that light, and bo quick about It!" If the light waa not Immediately extinguished a shot fired Into the air was sufficient warning to the citizen. Two or three experts worked inside the bank with nitroglycerin. About 2:15a. m. the charge went off and the vault door was blown open. The in terlor of the bank was virtually wrecked by force of the explosion. It took only a few moments for the robbers to get $4,500 In cash and ap proxlmately $2,500 In bonds, most of them negotiable securities, and get Into their two cars, n Mormon and n Cadillac. 4 Junger ran out to Hie street and ATred several shots polnthlsnk at the automobiles as they began speeding away.
