BRAMSON HELD UP BY LONE ROBBER

When A.H. Bramson, a merchant at 422 Edmond street, turned around from one of his shelves where he was taking down some goods to show a customer Tuesday morning, he found himself looking into the muzzle of a big gun which the customer had trained down to a dangerous line with Bramson's bread basket.
The robber then danced Bramson back to the safe at the rear of the store, made him produce $100 from it and then $50 from the cash register, after which he faded away in the alley, as a telegraph boy rattled the front door.

MAFIA IN KANSAS CITY

" I am positive Kansas City has a Black Mafia society and believe that the organization is responsible for a number of murders that have not been solved. I feel certain that the local organization is but a branch of the societies in New York, New Orleans and Chicago, which the police of those cities have been powerless to suppress. The local department today declares war on the Black Mafia. "
