With Funds in Heart
Of Chicago.
tiiii'BEii Tribune-Omaha Bee Innrri Wire.
Chicago, July &. Automobile ban
dits took advantage of the excitc-
n.ent due to the great numbers of
Elks and other visitors in the city,
to stage a sensational street rob
bery of a- bank messenger, securing
$20,100 and escaping in a stolen car

ful messengers were on their way
to a nearby bapk with the funds,
traveling in the bank's automobile
Heavy traffic slowed down their
car at the corner and four men,
with their faces blackened, sprang
upon the bank automobile. -Two of
them covered the messengers with
revolvers, while the others broke
the glass in the tonneau and dragged
out the bags of money. These they
tossed into their car and they drove
rapidly away, taking the precaution
to deprive the bank messengers of
their revolvers.
-' Three detectives who were pur
suing a gang of "boy bandits" who
had been touring the West Side all
night, robbing pedestrians, were the
victims of a daring ruse to escape.
They yere closing-down upon the
bandit car when - the driver v sped
quickly ahead, turned and drove the
car directly into that carrying the
detectives. All the officers were
badly hurt and one of the bandits,
who had been shot in the leg dur
ing the running battle, was dug out
of the wreckage. The others leaped
out just before the machines col
lided and escaped. The police car
was upset and the c,ar in which
the bandits, were riding, careened
madly across the street and smashed
itself against a stone building. It
had been stolen July 4.

TERMS OF TREATY
Note Demands Reduction of
Army to 150,000 by First of
October Final Answer Left
Up to Cabinet Members.
Spa, Belgium, July 8. The joint
allied-German conference on the
terms of the peace treaty reached
another critical point today. The
Germans have until noon tomorrow
to say whether they will accept the
Franci-British plan of disarmament.
The alternative is contained in the
specific threat that the allies will
occupy Ruhr or other territory if
Germany cannot or does not ac
cept. The German cahincnt, of which
seven of the nine mnthrs arc here,
held a meeting, which continued
from 5:15 o'clock this afternoon
until 8. No decision was reached
and the council adjourned until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The prevailing view among the
Germans was that the allies had
carried their demands, particularly
the menace of occupying further
German territory, much beyond any
provision of the Versailles treaty
and also that the allies are taking
up an aggressive position not con
templated by any clause of the
treaty.
Decision Up to Cabinet.
The allied disarmament note was
communicated to Berlin early in the
day at Ehrenbach's request, with the
directions that it be submitted to the
reichstag and to the leaders of all the
parties, whether supporters of the
government or the opposition. Herr
Jfchrenbach asked for the view of
the reichstag and the party leaders,
but said that the decision would rest
'vi th the cabinet now at Spa.
Private negotiations arc reported

Germans, hut this could not be clear

Dr. Simons left the cabinet meet
ing soon before it ended. It was said
he had gone to meet the allied pre
miers, ine tmai decision ot th;
allies sets forth that Germany must:
. first, immediately disarm certain
ot its forces, including the security
police.
Second, Publish a proclamation

"If on October 1, th- German
army is not reduced to 150,000, the
a. lies will 'proceed to .ccupv Ger

With Present Regime.
Washington. July 8. A conflict
of irreconcilable elmcnts that makes
tin the present regime in Mexico is
certain to break out in the near fu
ture, Ignacio Bonillas, former Mexi
can ambassador to the United Mates,
declared here today in discussing
-Meixan affairs and the recent revolu
tion.
"The great mass of people of
Afcxico are tired of revolution and
cf military rule." the former ambas
sador said. "They greatly desire
peace and a government of civilians
with the army solely as the supporter
and guaranty of orderly civil govern
ment, as other modem governments
do.
"Tjjie present regime in Mexico is
made up of heterogenous elements
that cannot be reconciled for loni;.
The bandits who made trouble under
the Carranza administration, joined
forces with Obregon and it is too
soon for them all to break away. But
they will and the beginning has come
vith the frequent small outbreaks in
various parts of the country. The
Pablistas (followers of Gen. Pablo
Gonzales) are already grumbling at
the elimination of their chief."
MAY TAKE ACTION
AGAINST JOHNSON ,
AS GERMAN SPY
Former Heavyweight Cham
pion Named in Article by
George Creel.
hlcHKii Tribune-Omaha lite Lraaed Wirt.
Chicago, July 8. J tck Artrur
Johnson, former heavyweight cham
pion of the world, who stepped
across the line into the United
States a few days ago. and imme
diately stepped back into Mexico,
would do well to remain on the
ether side. In addition, to charges
of white slavery and j iinpii' his
bond hanging over him in this coun
try, it is now proposed to take ac
tion against him on t'..e charge of
working as a German spy during
the .war.
These charges are rat'ier ha '.y and
seem to be based upon -.omething
v.ritten by George Creel, but in thc
light of the other charge vhev might
be sufficient to keep Johnson in
jail a few years longer.
Creel's charges indicate that
fohnsou was being uaid by the Ger
mans to keep himself prominently in
view in Madrid, and almost every
performance saw him it: full dress,
seated directly in front ct the royal
box. - -
At once time, according let the
quoted report, Johnson made a
strenuous plea to be permitted to
run to the United States. It is al
leged that he said he had "access to
the German embassy," and offered
to enter and rob it of all files if he
vere permitted to return to the
United States.
Earlier history of the war cited
(ffforts o,f Johnson to enlist in the
American overseas forces, but none
of the regiments would accept him.
He was advised to join the French
Senegalese forces, but some obstacle
arose there. At any rate, the
charges that he acted as a spy ap
pear to be based upon something not
yet made public. He is now in Mex
ico City and has applied for citizen
ship, announcing his intention ot
never returning to the1 United States.

WILSON'S USE OF
PARDON POWER
IS CRITICIZED
"I Wonder What Frame , of
Mind He Wis In," Judge
Landis Asks in Re-
view of Case.
Chicago, July 8. Judge Kenesaw
M. Landits in a statement addressed
from the bench to members of the
bar today criticized the action of
President Wilson in commuting the
sentence of James Dorsey, reputed
millionaire cattleman of Gilbert, III.,
from eight years to four.
"I 'wonder what frame of mind he
must have been in to cut such a sen
tence," the judge said.
Dorsey was convicted of selling
12,000 head of cattle which he used
the mails fo advertise were full
blooded Holsteins. When the ani
mals were delivered it developed
they were common stock.
It was also charged By the fed
eral government that the cattle were
diseased. ,
"This millionaire cattle king was
sentenced some time ago to serve
ight years in the federal prison for
using the mails to sell tubercular
cattle throughout the west," Judge
Landis said. "I want to make a
statement of this case to the bar.
.. . . J This man Dorsey sold
about 12,000 head of cattle a year
and made about $120,000 a year.
The indictments . . . charged him
with misuse of the mails for this
purpose. He advertised through the
mails that the cattle were full bred
Holstniis and that the purchasers
. . would be given certificates
showing that all the federal and
state laws in regard to the sale of
full bred cattle had been complied
with.
"Dorsey hired an old horse doctor
who would sign blank test certifi-'
cate and other clerks would fill
them out. An avalanche of com
plaints was received about the cat
tle from Mexico to Alaska.
"Finally he was brought to trial
and he was sentenced to eight years
in the penitentiary. The sentence
,was affirmed by the court of ap-
I'cttis, dui sentence was stayed a
pumber of times. Finally, through
the oversight of some one, Dorsey
was placed in the penitentiary."

Chivago, July 8. Maj. Get.
Leonard Wood, defeated by Scnatot
Warren G. Harding for the repub
lican presidential nomination, will
"go the distance" to bring about the
election of his successful rival.
Assurance of this was given to
day, following a series of confer
ences between Gen. Wood, sev
eral of his former lieutenants, and
Will Hays, chairman of the republi
can national committee. Following
these conferences, Gen. Wood left
for Marion, Ohio, where he will
confer tomorrow with Senator Hard
ing. The exact nature of Gen.
Wood's activities during the cam
paign will be determined at this
conference between the former rivals
and a statement from . Gen. Wood
will be issued telling his plans for
the campaign.
Among the Wood leaden who
participated in the conferences were
K. D. Howell, national committee
man from Nebraska, and Harry
Hogan, who managed the Wood
campaign in Indiana. The Wood
lieutenants were as hearty in their
assurances of support for Senator
Harding as the general himself.
No Statement to Make.
During the day Gen. Wood paid
two visits to the headquarters and
in addition spent two hours with
Chairman Hays at luncheon at the
Chicago club. The general said he
had no statement to make at the
present time, explaining:
"I will confer with Senator Hard
ing today. After that conference I
will have a statement to make."
National Committeeman Howell,
who was one of the most ardent
supporters of the general, issued a
statement assailing the democratic
national platform.
"A big, overwhelming, predominant
issue was created and emphasized
Dy me democratic national conven
tion at San Francisco, when it gave
unqualified indorsement to the acts
and policies of the Wilson ad

proved covers a period of govern
mental incapacity, waste and ex

tory of the republic.
