-Whether this amount can be obtain

fendants to be a matter of doubt, but
they expressed the belief 'that at least
some of it could be procured enough

The decision involves only 32; of

Judges Baker and Seaman heard the
arguments and the decision was given
orally by Judge Baker. He took oc
casion to intimate, that undue haste
was manifested at Indianapolis in com
mitting the defendants to prison. vine
writ was issued largely on the point
raised by the defense that the Iron
Workers were coiivicted on a contin

In fixing the amount, of bail the

' A few minutes later the bandits' car

and beat -.him and threw him off the

Twenty shots were exchanged as the
machine .gained speed. . .The chauffeur
managed the machine so that it pour

in the escape. The plain clothes police
ran at the car and at the next corner
commandeered a passing high powered
automobile and ordered its chauffeur
to pursue the thieves, who, however,
had so good a start that they escaped.
The bandits' car was stopped by Po

New York, Jan. 3.7 Highly enthusi
astidover Bermuda as a training
camp for the New York Yankees, Ar
thur Irwin, the business manager of
the club, and Charles E.- Barrett, the
trainer, who went to the .coral islands
on December , 18th to look over the
ground,' returned yesterday ' . on the
steamship Arcadian, Mr. Irwin "was
greatly impressed by what he saw.
but the final' decision in the matter
will be made within the next few
days, after a conference with Frank
Farrell, the owner of the team. Mr.
Irwin, however, went so far , as to
take an option on the grounds of the
Hamilton Cricket. Club for the use of
the players, provided they go down.
"It. beats anything I ever saw in the
South in the way of a training camp."
declared Irwin, when be landed- "The
climate is the most wonderful Imagin
able, and is ideal in every way, to get
the men into condition. I have several
propositions from hotel ownj&rs of the
island, which v I ; will submit toMr.
Farrell. There will be absolutely no
difficulty about accommodations. I ex
pect to make my report to Mr. Farrell
today, but the final tSision may not
be reached until Frank Chance is con
sulted. My. own personal opinion v is
that nothing could be better so far as
climatic conditions areconcerned."
,If the New York club" decides' to go
to Bermuda it will be the first major
league team , to take the trip. Iast
year the Jersey City Skeeters invaded
the islands, with excellent results. The
so-called sunny South of the United
States is subject to change's in tem
perature which.have raised havocwitn"
the players in' previous seasons! It
is fpr this reasbn that Farrell wants a
change. Cold, rainy weather made a
failure out of the training;' trip of,
the -Yankees last Spring, and the many
misfortunes which befell the club after
the season . started were 1 commonly
sunnosed to -be the result of the poor
condition the men were ' In ta.. start

London, January 3 . Although the
word "ultimatum" was not pronounc

Miyuskovitch, head of' the

Immediately, after the' 'minutes of

These were as follows:
