and one officer is painfully injured
as the result of a gun battle with 'a
posse at Bear Lake, Mo.j Friday
night, following an automobile chase
from Howe, Neb., where three un
masked robbers late Friday after
noon held up and robbed a bank of
$15,000 in cash and Liberty bonds
after locking the cashier and his as

The posse in Atchison was in
formed by the toll man on the
Atchison bridge that an automobile
containing men who answered the

tions will be a failure. . -
To Undermine Bryan. -The
message, which will be

defend, on the basis of information
heretofore unpublished, the attitudi
of the president throughout the

the first concern of the president and

Moreover, the message will make
it clear that the president would
make the treaty and the covenant
not only the paramount but the only
issue of the campaign. If he con-
' trols the convention, as he is confi
dent he will, he'will dictate not only
the treatv plank but the entire plat
form and the naming of the candi
date as well.
Not a few democrats interpret the
course of the president, as it is be-

Doubt is. expressed that any can

It has been assumed' that the
breakdown of the health of the presi
dent would deter him from accept
ing - renomination. , Although his
messages reveal his mental vigor
unimpaired, he is unable to walk and
an active campaign on his part
would be impossible. He believes
himself, however, far stronger than
his ohvsicians concede, and there
are in the limited group by which he
is surrounded powerful -influences

PEEVISH PATRON
HELD PRISONER
IN PHONE BOOTH
After Spending 45 Minutes
Trying to Get Connection
FindsHe's Locked In.
New York. May "22. It took the
combined efforts of two subway
track walkers armed with crowbars,
a traffic policeman and aV score or
more of Staten island commuters to
pry Hfnry Bose, a honeydealer of
Richmond Hill, L. I out'of a tele
phone booth at the Municipal ferry
house here after he had ' exhausted
his natience trvinc to eet a wire
I j o . '
connection with his home.
Bose spent 45 steaming, wrathy
minutes in the booth and, from the
drift of his comment when released,
the session didn't improve his opin
ion of the telephone, company and
its service and accommodations in a
single particular. ,
From his own stirring account of
his experience, it seems that Bpse,
when he finally got his number and
finished his conversation, found that
the doors to the booth had become
stuck. He hammered and kicked
with all his force, but passengers
hurrying through the room or loung
ing about waiting for a boat merely
glanced in the direction of the up
roar "and smiled knowingly.
"He thinks he'll make 'em return
bis nickel," they told one another
the" waiting room wise ones did.
"Well, more power to his good right
arm." ' '
In desperation Bose fed another
nickel into the voracious slot and
beseeched the operator wh'en he
got her to telephone somebody
else in the vicinity to please come
get him out. The operator merely
laughed and resumed telling her
elbow switch companion what "he
says to me" , and "I says to him."
Bose could hear them, but he de
clined toecome interested.
Finally somebody got the impres
sion that there was something more
than a hfated conversation with a
blase telephone operator in progress
in the booth and came to the im
prisoned man's aid. Traffic Police
man Frank Roth was called in and
repeated, onslaughts were made on
the stout door without swecess
Somebody finally hurried tc the sub
way, marshaled two track walkeM
with crowbars, and, in the course of
time, Bose was priedlut.

Charles F. Kamrath charges that
he was "imprisoned for three hours,
December 12, in the general offices
of the Skinner company, fourteenth
floor of the Firsf National Bank
building, "and that he was struck
four times and threatened with
death there by Lloyd and Paul Skin
ner." He filed suits, for $75,000 damages
in district court" yesterday against
Paul and Lloyd Skinner, the Skinner
Packing company and the Skinner
company.
"This is just part of the Howe
propaganda," declared Paul Skinner,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Skinner company. "We hired
Kamrath as supervising engineer of
construction of oursacking plant.
AVe found that he was accepting
money, from others interested in the
work of construction. He admitted
in the presence o'f myself, my
brother. Lloyd, D. C. Robertson and
J. A. C. Kennedy, tht he had ac
cepted $4,600. You can say that for
me because it's the absolute truth."

R. C. Howe, who was deposed
from the position of president and
general manager ef the Skinfier
company by a vote of 3 to 2 of the
boarc of directors Tuesday, today
returned to -the company 14,000

three-fourths days per week. Even
in the banner year, 1918, the miners
lost 61 working days.

board of directors, today, also made
a "formal demand upon the directors
of the Skinner company to require
likewise the cancellation and sur
render of the 16.7,000 shares issued
to Paul Skinner and Lloya Skinner
by the resolution of the hoard of
directors at their meeting December
1 16, 1919, prior to my entering into
! the service of the company, and the
reduction of the stockholdings of
the said Paul Skinner "and Lloyd
Skinner to an amount equal only to
the value of the property transferred
to the Skinner company by them in
consideration for the issuance o.f
said stock."
Total capitalization of the Skin
t.er company is 500,000 shares.
There is no fixed par value. If they
are worth $50 a share, Mr. Howe's
"gift" for securing credit for the
company, was $700,000. If the
shares are worth thjs sum, the
Skinners, according to Mr. Howe's
allegations, voted themselves stock
worth $8,350,000.
The stockholders are to have
something to say about these whole
sale transfers of the company as
sets, at the mass meeting of stock
holders called by Mr. Howe to be
held in the City Auditorium next
Tuesday-at 10 in the moming.
Skinner "Explains" Action.
"The real reason why R. C. Howe
has returned 14,000 shares Of Skin
ner company stock to the company,
is that the board" of directors made
a demand on him to do so and
threatened suit against him if he
did not," said Paul F. Skinner, presi
dent of the Skinner company, yester
day. Mr. Skinner showed copies of
resolutions passed by the board of
directors Friday. The last resolu
tion passed is to the effect that suit
shall be started against Howcfor
1,000 shares of stock which he still
holds. ,
"Mr. Howe's demand made coin-,
cident to the surrender of the 14,000 j
shares of stock held by him is but i
an attempt to draw the focus aay.j
from himself and direct it else-
where," Paul Skinner asserted. ;
"If Howe will now disgorge the- i
$200,000 which he received from the j
company under no better claim than I
he has to the surrendered stock, he I
might then regard himself more j
nearly purged of his misdeeds to-'
ward the company."
