SAN FRANcIsCo, March S.-Geo. W.
Gregory and John R. Ewing we're ar
rested this afternoon for robblng the
Wells, Fargo box on the Oakland boat a
couple of months ago. They have con-
tessed a plot for an extensive system of
robberies. Gregory was formerly a mes
senger for the company, but resigned in
December, after securing a key which
would unlock the treasure boxes, and an
other for express cars. He took Ewing
into partnership and on Jan. 5 they
robbed the box on the Oakland ferry boat
between here and Oakland. Gregory had
also learned the combination of the safes
in many of the country offices, and they
next tried to rob several of these. I'm
fortunately for the schemers the combi-
nations were changed after Gregory re-
signed. Then they planned to hold up
the express messenger on the overland
train. but while ~hesitating through lack
of courage were nabbed by detectives.

BosToN, March Sin his speech at
the Massachusetts Reform club dinner
last night, Hon. David Dudley Field said
on the subject of honest government that
the primaries for the choice of candidates
were very unsatisfactory. In places
where registry is held each voter, when
registering, should name his candidates.
If no registry. they should be called on to
express their preference in writing, and
that the ones having a plurality be nom
mated. He would make as many voters
as possible take part in the nomination,
and would make all vote. Compulsory
voting is as necessary as compulsory edu
cation.
