Bandits Make Clean Getaway in Well Timed Daring Day- light Holdups.

(Canadian Press)-

MONTREAL, May 12.-A minin- turc crime wave swept Montreal to- day.

In quick succession, two daring daylight holdups netted bandits ul- most $6,300. A trio of holdup men divested two clerks of the Catelll Macaroni Products Company of $2,- 237, the Company's weekly payroll, and less than three hours later Armand Gagnon and Joseph Laoha- pelle, partners 1n e. shoe manufac- turing firm, were held up and rob- bed of another payroll approximat- ing $4,000.

Police tonight scoured the city in search of the bandits. They attri- buted both robberies to the same daring trio.

"Shoot him“ shouted one of the bandits as Lachapelle refused to hand over the company's when ordered to do eo by the ban- dits who stopped him and his part- ner as they returned from a bank.

Gagnon, the partner, urged Lech- jpellq to part with the payroll.

Having obtained the money the holdup men disappeared in a. wait- ing automobile.

Earlier in the day, two men took a leather bag containing $2,237 from two clerks of the Catelli Company, almost at the door of the plant, and escaped in a car bearing two differ- ent», license plates and driven by I. confederate.

Both robberies were perfectly tim- ed, the bandits intercepting the pay- roll carrlers during their trips from the bank to their factories. Each time the bandits threatened to shoot 1f their orders were not compiled

Exercises Held

Last evening on the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, founder of the nursing profession, three nurses, graduates of the Prince Edward Island ‘Hospital Training School for Nurses, received their di- Dlomas. They were Misses Bernice Lois Mutch, Ella Jeanetc Edwards, and Marion Jean Wilson. The grad- l uation exercises were held in St. Paul's Parish Hall, and were very largely attended. Mr. W. K. Rogers was chairman.

In connection with the presents- tion of the diplomas, a very enjoy- able programme was given. The Florence Nightingale pledge to the graduating nurses was given by Rev. H. D. Raymond. His Worship Mayor Stewart. who presented the diplo- mas. congratulated each of the re- cipients. Dr. F‘. W. Tidmarsh deliv- ered the address to the nurses.

Thc special numbers were heart- ily enjoyed, and each one was en- ‘huslasticiilly eneorcd. Mr. Raoul Reymond delivered a bass solo in fine voice. Miss Mary Sinclair brought laughter with her reading "I Sought a Bed." Miss Margaret Stems and Mrs .' H. S. Henderson charmed the audience in the fine rendition of their solos. Equally ap- preciated was the number rendered by the quartette composed of Messrs. Leigh Dlngwcll, Jack Stems, Roy Qulgley and Marcus Calder, and the piano duet. by Mrs. G. E. Full, and Miss Ullfan MacKenzie.

On the stage with the chairman were Mayor Stewart, Rev. H. D. Raymond, the doctors of the Hos- pital Staff, and beoomingly attired in their uniforms, the graduating nurses. Miss Mﬂil‘, Lady Supt-rin-

perintendent, and a number of nurses in training.

The chairman remarked in cori- gratulating the graduates that they had finished a difficult course. The fact that only three graduated was

duc to the fact that a number had

dropped out due to sickness. Ho n1- eo congratulated Miss Mair and Miss Saint, and also the Ladies‘ Aid, which had sponsored the program. Mr. Rogers also extended thanks to the St. Paul's Church for the use of the Hall. He then briefly outlined the history of the P. E. I. Hospital.

The first hospital building had been on St. Peter's Road and had cost $2,800. Mr. Chas. Palmer, K.C., was president of tlic Board. 68 pati- cnte were treated in the first year. In 1898 tenders had been called for tho wnetruction of a new building, which had been occupied on March 0, 1900. In 1813 two new wings had been added. In that year the iium- ber of patients treated had been 381, and in 1923, a total of 660. It was found that the old hospital was inadequate. The new hospital would provide for 101 or 102 beds, with nurses’ quarters in addition. Thc new hospital had been built for the future. (Io-operation with the Board o! Trustees was requested in seeing that the newhoepltal received ad- equate support.
