"I know a place we can make a hundred times as much money with out the slightest risk. Listen . . . You know the big public square in Yonkers?" Heidemann nodded warily. "The cashier of Shanley's place lives risrht around th tinued Schindler, his voice dropping'! to a wmsper. "Most of their money is taken after bankin hours an-"" he paused impressively, "the cashier takes It home with him in a little leather bag. His house is on a dark side street. It'd be a cinch to stick him up, cut the straps of the bag and make a getaway before the bulls got wise. But one man couldn't do it. I need some help. Are you on?" After a little additional urging, Heide mann agreed. His half of the pro ceeds, he 'probably argued, would en able him to put a thousand miles , be tween himself and Asbury Park, and as Schindler said, the risk was prac tically nothing. A child could handle, it. Shortly before noon, a long distance call relayed some brief but explicit instructions to three of the operatives in the Burns office in New York, apd that night a man, .with a leather bag slung from his shoulders, crossed the brightly lighted public square in Yonk ers. Scarcely had he turned the cor ner leading to one of the darker side streets, when a figure rose up in front of him and another closed in from be hind. r "Hands up!" came the command, and as the man with the satchel hesitated, he was struck down by a crushing blow from behind, a blow that left him limp and apparently lifeless upon the side walk. "Gawd!" "ejaculated Schindler. "I be lieve I've croaked him," and he lifted his arm, a distant street light gleam ing up something red and sticky that adhered to his fingers. Instantly his hand flashed back to his hip-pocket, and the muzzle of a blue-steel auto matic covered Heidemann unwaver. ingly. "I may swing for this," Schindler continued, "but it won't be because you snitched. I'm not going to have you blubbering to the cops about it. It you know any prayers, say 'em be cause when I count three I'm g6W to fire." "Stop it!""' pleaded the other. "I'm not going to say anything. I couldn't if I wanted to. I wouldn't dare. They might get me for that Smith affair." "What's that?" Schindler demanded. "What d'you mean?" "That Smith girl that was killed down at Asbury," Heidemann's voice rose in a quaver of terror. "I did. it. I wouldn't dare tell" "Xo, You're right you wouldn't," agreed the other, but there was a new note apparent in the way he said it. Then, still keeping Heidemann covered, he address the "cashier" who lay pros trate on the sidewalk. "Get up Joe. and slip the bracelets on him! We've got what we want a confession be fore witnesses." "My name's not 'Schindler'." he ex plained, as Heidemann looked at him un comprehendingly. "It's Burns Wil liam J. Burns and this 'cashier' is one of my operatives."

JOHNNY ADAMS A SELF-MADE MAN - - New Chairman of Republi can National Committee Has Risen Rapidly. Dubuque, Iowa, June 28. John T. Adams, the recently elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, like many other national leaders, is a self-made man. In" 1881, "Johnny" Adams, as he was then known, started to work for a Du buque door and sash company at $3 a week. His promotion was rapid and, since 1900, he has been president of the company, which is now regarded as one of the . largest of the kind in the country. Since early manhood, Adams has taken an unusual interest in commu nity affairs. ; One of the first commu nity projects to attract his attention was a city mission organized by the Dubuque Congregational church. Later for several years, he was president of the city's general hospital. School affairs of Dubuque always nave attracted the attention nf Mr Adams. He served several terms as a member of the local school board. During the war, he was a member of the state council of defense and was active in Red Cross and other drives for funds. His interest in American politics is believed to have been inherited from his father, who was an American of old stock. The father practiced law in Massachusetts and was a member of the legislature of that state at the time Daniel Webster was & member of the state senate. His ancestors on his mother's side come from Ne.w Hamp shire, where they lived for several gen erations. . The family moved to ! Dubuque in 1862. John T. Adams graduated from the Dubuque high school in 1881. His education since then has been acquired by constant reading. His private li brary at his beautiul home here is re garded as one of the most complete in Iowa. Mr, Adams is a student of mod ern languages and reads French and German almost as fluently as Eng lish. Mr. Adams first attracted attention in politics in 1908 when he was select ed to conduct the primary campaign in Iowa. In 1912, he managed the' Taft campaign in this state. Jp the same year, he was elected national commit teeman from Iowa. He was re-elected national committeeman in 1916" and again in 1920. During the Harding campaign. Mr. Adams was in charge of the Western Republican headquarters in Chicago. - Mr. Adams is married, and is the father of three children, Elizabeth 17, Susan 13 and Paul 9. GREEK WINS WIFE OF SAILOR SH1PMAN The many-featured case of George Shipman former sailor in the United States Navy who came here last spring and started action to have the marriage of his former wife Elizabeth Shipman to Gus Geurukos shoeshine king made null and void has at last ended, un less Shipman desires to set up independ ent action and allege that the testi mony of his former wife given at hei divorce trial here was untrue. After several hearing on various phases of the matter, Judge W. F. Har din was asked to set the divorce verdict aside in which Mrs. Shipman obtained freedom from her former sailor hus band. He considered the matter for weeks before deciding not to set the verdict aside, which was asked on the grounds that the 'woman had sworn falsely in order to obtain the divorce which freed her to marry Geurukos. Shipman then instituted action charg ing his former wife with perjury. This action has been nol prossed. Attorneys say the only recourse of the former husband is to start a new suit, charging his former wife with falsification in obtaining a divorce. He is not expected to do this and the last chapter in the case has been written, it is believed. BMWSMBSSSMBJBWWBSWWISWiMWiB ft- . iP:.. ....
