The East Side police believe the ~ob- bers were prompted by the stories of the big amounts exposed in craps and games run lately in connection certain East St. Louis pool halls and saloons. The first report of the robbery received by .the police was to the effect:that $3200 hac been swept up ‘rom a table’ and carried away, but the men who were .robbed insisted tiat the money was taken from their pockets, and that they had been play- ing an ordinary game of pool.

At the same moment the third man appeared in the doorway across the voom. All three were doubly armed jand only their eyes and forelleads appeared above the dark handkeftchiefs which served them as masks. The two who were seen at closest range wore blue handkerchiefs, with white polka dots. wne of them wore a cap, the other a straw hat. “Throw up your hands and stand up against the wall,”’ the men, and the four players dropped their cues and obeyed. They started to face the robbers, but were told to fice the wall. The negro porter. Douglas Anderson, who was not covered by the outstretched weapons at first, started toward one of the robbers, but was stopped by a threat that unless he stood against the wall with the rest he would be “shot full of holes.”’ The robbers then proceeded to in- spect and loot the pockets of the four white men, Joe Erker, John Durgand, Dan Elrich and Richard Eddy Erber’s diamond ‘ring, which he val- ved at $1000, was the first thing taken. He offered them his gold watch, of nv great value, but they told him to keep ic. A $150 diamond bar pin, with which his soft collar was fastened, also falled te attract them. All Had Large Suma. From Erker's pocket they took his mirse, containing about $90. Then they tock Durgand’s purse, containing. $27, Wirich’s with $330, and Eddy’s with $150. They also got Eddy’s $50 diamond ring ar.t E'rich’s gold-plated knife. ‘You stand there now, or we'll shoot vou full of holes. Don't you look eround,” was the parting injunction. The poolhall ts carpeted with linoleum, end the departing robbers went noise- lessiy, so that it was more than a min- ute before any of the men facing the wall dared to turn. As they saw that the robbers were gone, they heard an automobile and ran to the window, where they .saw a touring car running north on. Missouri avenue. An arc light showed them that it was a bright red car, and that it contained four men. The East Side po- lice believe the robbers were in the car. Telephone messages were sent soon afterward to St. Louis, Collinsville, Relleville and. ether places where it was thought the robbers might have gone in their car. —_ New York Passes 5,000,000 Mark. .

In a verbal statement accompany- ing the order Judge McPherson said that the trust company, which was appointed receiver at the time the original order was issued, July 20, had declined the appointment, ‘“‘ad- vancing reasons satisfactory to it- self.” , The company’s decision was reached, it has been stated, after its attorneys had investigated the question of the court's jurisdiction in appointing a re- ceiver. The chief. objection made to the receivership by ‘the attorneys of the Lewis reorganization syndicate was that the individual claims, being less than $2000 each, did not‘bring the action within’ the jurisdiction of the Fedeval Court.

AULYEAR RECORD ~ BROKEN BY THE LONG HOT SPELL High Temperature Uniform for Extended Period Over Large Portion of Country. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.~—Not in the past 4) years have temperatures in the United States during the latter part of spring and in the early summer been so uniformly high for so long a period and over such a large pertion of the country as this year, ac cording to Weather Bu- reau officials. The high temperatures were most pro- nourecd over the more. central and northern portions of the country, while the Southern States were comparative- ty exempt from unusual temperature. The heat occurring over the more pepulous sections caused gréat suffer- ing in the congested cities, and. caused the loss of probably thousands of lives. Lack of rainfall over the great ag- ricultural districts during much of tne long heated term greatly retarded vege- tuble growth and threatened a serious curtailment of crop productioh.. Oppo:- tune rains, however, with cooler weata- er. greatly improved conditions, and the outlook at the present time is favorable ‘or the gathering of the usual harvests in most of the great staples. The period of greatest discomfort was from June 22 to-Jyly 10. .Higher tem- peratures occurred at other periods over but the resulting discomfort-and loss of human life Were doubtless augmented in the period just passed by the fact that the most in- tense heat occurred toward the close of a long heated period, when a Arges: vitality had been SEARCH KEPT FOR BALD MA HOTEL COMPA Car Trembler 1 in Her E Indicates Woman Started Home, Befor ing to Vendome .

Dr. Meinhard said that when a per son is pushed from a window or leap ‘from it to escape a pursuer, the. bod usually turns over and over in th air and the person lights on the head or feet. The knowledge that thefe fe danger behind or the deliberate “3s pose to jump causes the muscles to b come tense and to brace for the shock, he says. is On the contrary, when a person tatla ‘ unexpectedly as the result of purée: ao- bie g cident, there is not time, if the distanee ” 7 ia short, for the brain to cate the impulse of selt-trenceeaaa te the muscles, and the body falls lint and unresisting, usually landing on the hack or side. This is especially true he says, when the faculties of the far ing person are clouded~by drink om other causes. “The fracture .of the skull and the internal injuries were all on the rignt side,” Dr. Meinhard said. “T think the internal injuries, and not the fracture, caused death.
