THREE BOLD, BAD ROBBERS
Hustle the Timid Bank Clerks Into
the Vault
A Daylight Robbery On San Francisco's Most
Important Street-Policeman Dower's
Name Is Thomas
yclone Thompson?

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.--The boldest
and cleverest robbery known here for some
time occurred today when three masked
men entered the Market Street bank, held
up the cashier and bookkeeper at the points
Of pistols, shut them in the big vault, rabed
all the coin in sight into sack and then
vanished without leaving trace behind.
Tho Market Street bank is small con-
cern, recently opened in the Spreckels
building, right in the business section of
the city. Cashier Hopkins and Bookkeep-
or Hayshorst were the only ones in the
bank at 9:45 this morning when
three masked men entered. Point
ing their pistols at the heads of
the two bank employees, the robbers
ordered them to throw up their hands.
Hayshorst obeyed, but Hopkins endeav-
ored to get pistol from a drawer. A shot
from one of the robbers stopped him and
he threw up his hands. The bullet did not
hit the cashier, but the shot was fired at
such close range that his face was burned
by the powder. The robbers then went
behind the counter and hustled their pris-
oners into the vault. They shut but could
not lock the door and then raked the coin
in sight from the money trays into a sack.
Then they left the building. No one saw
them 60 in, nor cav them go out
of the bank and although an officer ar
rived in less than minute after the rob-
berry had been committed, not trace of
the thieves could be found. The bank peo.
pie will not say low much money was
taken, but the amount does not exceed
$500. Policeman Dover, who was the
first officer to arrive, made an investga-
tion of the premises and heard the state
ments of the bank officials. He expresses
doubt that any robbery was committed.
The bank officials stated tonight that
the robbers got away with $4,000.

biased, but he took this means to expose
the efforts of certain people to influence
the council against him.
Miss Overman was bright and cheerful
after her attendance upon the first session
of the trial in which she appears as prin.
fatigued by the days proceedings. She
had expected that it would be an ordeal
for her TO sit and listen to the delibera-
tions of the council and to hear the un-
pleasant mention of her name, but the
courteous and dgnifled manner in which
everything was conducted had about con.
vinced her, she said, that most OF the dis
agreeable features of the council existed
only in her imagination.
Miss Overman said she believed that all
the members of the council were fair
minded, Christian men, and she was salts
fed that only one result could come of
their investigation of the charges against
DIR. Brown.
Mrs. Frank j. French will be witness
before the council. She will relate the story
of a visit paid her by DIR. Brown and his
wife in May, 1884, during which the pastor
made strong plea that Mrs. Stockton be
put in charge of one of the booths at an
entertainment that Mrs. French was about
to give at her residence. The point OF
Mrs. French's testimony lies in the fact
that DIR. Brown states that it was previous
to this time that Mrs. Stockton threw her
arms about his neck during call he made
on her, and that, consequently he must
have known of the widows alleged charac-
ter at the very time he was pleading for
her with one of the most prominent mem.
bers of his congregation.

THE TOUR OF TRIUMPH
Great Men Do Honor to Colonel Harrison
(iray Otis

WAsHINGToN D. c., Feb lS-Things are not
always what they seem but Colonel Harrison
Gray Otis is now strictly in the great social
swim. Today he received a call from John
Sherman. John ana the colonel used to he
chums. When Sherman slipped in the amend
ment in the United States senate demonetizrg
silver in 1878. the colonel was Il copy holder
in the government printing office. In these
days John never made move until he had
apprised the colonel OF it. Since the colonel
went to Alaska to count seas they have not
been asintimatc. John heard the colonel was
in town and chased him up. The two had
nice time and stone fence" mixed with the
colonel's own hands. No man out of captivr.y
ever drank one of the colonel's "stone fences
before and lived. John did, but he was merry
after ii was all over, whether from the fact he
had capped alive or from the effect of the
LIQUOR is not known.
Later c. r. Huntington called and was clos
eted with the colonel an hour. lie was ten.
dered stone fence" but he declined, wished
the colonel G cd speed. and fed.
Huntington did not, as has been reported
uphtaid the colonel tor making such a loud
talk about San Pedro har Dor. MI Huntington
talked as if he wanted the colonel to remain
in Washington for some time and oppose the
funding bill He said, on the quiet, that he
thought an arrangement of this kind could
be fixed up the funding bill would
surely PASS. Mr.. Huntington has an idea
that if he can get Colonel Otis to fight
the funding bill it would be better than Il
rabbits foot. In speaking about the colonel
today Mr.. Huntington wandered off his sub
jcct and spoke feelingly of ''hoo dooh's and
then related merits and dement's. 1t is
thought by his intimates that if his friend
Cotton was alive today ho would write him
something like This:
"Friend Colton--Otis is here from Los An
gecs fighting Santa Monica harbor. We can
ask nothing better than this. Ii anything can
win our fight for us Otis opposition can. Have
our friends in Los Angeles wire Otis that he is
n great man, and we will keep him here.
think we can arrange the amount all right. Ii
necessary will make u trip to New York and
let you know how it comes ont next week.
Otis is:a good thing for us and We can push
him along Burn this letter.
III addition to Huntingdon, Carl Btown the
reversible artist, dropped in on the colonel TO.
day. Old friendship WAS renewed. Ont ot
this alliance so rudely broken off awhile back
results will follow. Carl's' hair and the
colonels match, This isa good sign.

BIG BATTLESHIPS

More Vessels

The House Committee on Navai Affairs Wants
More Vessels
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A considerable
increase in the number of battleships for
the navy is likely if the views prevail of the
subcommittee of the house naval affairs
committee having in charge the prepara-
ton of the naval appropriation bill. The
subcommittee was in session several hours
today, and the discussion disclosed a ma
iority in favor of making provision for at
least four and probably six line-of-battle
ships. The torpedo boats to be authorized
will depend very largely on the number of
battlesnips recommended. Should only
four battleships be provided for some of
the members think twenty torpedo boats
should be allowed, but if an agreement is
then the number of torpedo boats will not
exceed six or ten.
Secretary Herbert recommended a pro-
vision for the enlistment of 1000 addi-
tional men for the navy and favorable ac-
tion was taken by the subcommittee re.
