Mystery Surrounds the Pretended Hold
Up Near Mountain Tietc.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the reported hold-up of w.
Saunders, near Mountain View, deepens,
and officers who have returned from the
scene Of the operations are not backward
in denouncing the hold-up as pre-
arranged job.
At Mountain View they learned that the
man who passed as w. Saunders was none
other than ]. B. Chamon de st. Hubert,
president of the Wine-dealers' Association.
Tuesday evening after supper the stranger
said he was going out for walk and did
not return until midnight. The next
morning he mysteriously absented him
self for a couple of hours, and then re-
turned and hired the buggy.
Mr.. Wagner, in whose barn the robbers
are supposed to have left Saunders, or st.
Hubert, handcpffed to the manger, SAYS
the pretended officers came to his place
and asked permission to leave their pris-
oner, who, they said, had been arrested on
suspicion. He was handcuffed and placed
in the barn. After warning Wagner to
keep watchful eye on the man they de-
parted. When Wagner looked into the
barn st. Hubert was missing. A laborer
who was working in the orchard back of
the barn says he saw man running
through the orchard, toward the Stevens
Creek road, and that at that point he
joined two men in buggy. The officers
have been unable to trace the route taken
by the men in the buggy, but it is sup
posed they have gone to San Francisco.
The whole affair is shrouded in mystery
and the officers are at loss to account for
the strange proceeding. ]. B. Chamon de
Some years ago he sued ]. B. ]. Portal for
$4,000 for defamation of character and
secured 81 damages

sational elopement occurred from Charles

Corkle, brother of Governor McCorkle, and
Miss Carrie Comstock, a prominent society
leader, were the principals.
The courtship met with bitter opposition
from Miss Comstock's mother, which

from the Croton River and group of

Croton acqueduct crosses the Harlem

The Republican party would not
need to declare it's policy If it fully
controlled all branches of the Govern
ment. The only uncertainty that ex-
lists springs from the fact that the re-
publicans by themselves may not
have majority in the Senate, and
have reason to expect a veto at the
White House. But these facts do not
absolve the Republicans from obliga-
ton to do what they can to restore
prosperity. Congress cannot shirk
it's obligation to raise an adequate
revenue. Yet it is true, as many Re
publicans are urging, that complete
reconstruction of the tariff, with such
care and thoroughness as should be
given to a measure expected to stand
without change for years, would take
more time than Congress can give to
it at this session. A much briefer bill
avowedly for present relief and not
designed as permanent settlement,
would serve equally well to test the
Presidents Willingness to obey the
mandate of the people expressed In
the elections of last year and this
year, and it ought to be possible to
pass some such bill without great de-
ay. Those who have followed the
comparisons of imports and revenue
for the last few months will realize
that 1t might not be necessary to alt
er duties on great number of articles
in order to raise a sufficient revenue.
