THE POLICE MAY BE RIGHT
But the Men Arrested Claim to Be
Innocent
It Is Not In1oos sible That the San Francisco
Street Car Robbers Are Still
at Large

SAN FRAN Isco, Dec. 2S.--The three
men suspected of robbing the cashier OF
the Ingieside race track of $4,000 Chris :
mas night. were today formally charged
with robbery and bail fixed at $4,000 in
each case.
While the chief of police and his subor-
dinates claim the prisoners are the bold
highwaymen who held up the street car
and captured the booty, the prisoners
claim they can establish a strong abb.
Though since the arrest each of the pris-
oners has been confined in a separate
cell, each tells Substantially The -ane
story. In some details there is conflict,
but this is accounted for by the fact that
thev were partially intoxicated Christmas
evening. Middlemiss. Gardiner and Welch
were all seen by men if the lattCr's
stories are to be believed, at the hour the
robbery took place, dow, town, eli yht miles
from the scene of the holdup. The IN we
ments OF the men. according to the theory
OF the defense, ara accounted for during
the whole of Christmas d " until long after
the robbery was committed. The Story of
Middlerniss to the police that he left the
track after the last race and was put off

Was corroborated to-day by The cpnduc or
of the car, who says he emembers quitting
~ =
and whom he is sure was Mddlem,ss.
The missing sack, which contained $500
in gold, is still mystery. The police have
not been able to find the slightest trace of
this money. The absence of the gold
makes room for theory that after all the
police have not secured the real highway
men and that the robbers are still at large.
Despite the arrest of Harry Gardiner,
Joe Middlemiss and Patrick We CHI. it is
just possible that tie real hishwaymen
may for the time have made goot their
escape The friends of the imprisoned
men are certain that they are not guilty,
even in the face of The fact of the cap ure
of Gardner ard Middlemiss on the -iot

further fact that the hands OF Patrick

tact with birned wire, of which there is a

miss on Christmas day. According TO their
evidence it would have been practically

murderous assault was made on A. o.

AS MIR. Major went into the hallway of

someone stealthily approached from be-
hind and struck him q terrible blow over
the back of the head with rock. Mr..
Major fell instantly and the assailant
made his escape. Mrs. -mith, who occu-
pies room on the floor above heard the
noise, and then Major groan and call,
"Come to me. Chris, for Gods sake. They
have killed me-" rhe sent her son down to
learn the trouble, and at the same time
Mr.. Chris G.. Bamesbergt r, the md ord,

and dressed his hurt. He then related

calling on his fancae, Miss Norma II.
Frazier of Sand street, and had been as
saul ed in the doorway and robbed, he
thought, of $40. search of his clothes
failed TO pruduce the money, SO it is likely
that this is correct.
Mr.. Maj n seemed TO be a!! right yestcr-

condition took a change for the worse The
aft air was reported to the police. They
are at loss to know the object for the as

This is not the first time that Major has
had an ext eii.nce with an unknown per-

to his door, but no ate mpt was then
made upon him. He is a brother of ex-
P.lice Officer Major, and pc itical enmity
is hnted at as possible cause for the as

have been the object of the erson who

NO AGREEMENT
To the Right Of Turkey to Obstruct the
DardsneiIes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The cable re-
port from Constantinope, that the United
States denied the right of Turkey TO pre-
vent the passage of warships through the
Dardanell IS; brings out the fact that this
government has constantly declined to adj
mt such right, and while it has not re-
Gently had occasion to make an issue with
Turkey upon this subject, ministers to that
country have been cautioned 10 go no far
Their than to recognize the exclusion act as
q usage md not as a right.
President Pierce. in 1854, first laid down
the doctrine that this government was de-
termined TO maintain the freedom of the
great natural channels of navigA alton and
TO deny their right of nation to treat one
of the great maritime highways of nations
as n closed sea and prevent lis navigation
freely.
In case of Turkey, Secretary Fish in
1871 and 1872 regarded the abstract right
of the Turkish government to obs ruct the
Dardanelles a serious question and felt
that proper occasion might in the future
arise for us to dispute the applicability of
the claim to United States men-of-war,
but m awhile it wa deemed eXpedient to
acquiesce in the exclusion.
There has been no recent re-assertion of
this doctrine.
