HELD TO ANSWER.
Rolf Admits He Was Guilty of
Robbing the Japs.

Karl Rolf, the young man arrested in
San Francisco a few days ago for
holding up and robbing two Japanese
near Brighton Station about two weeks
ago, had his preliminary examination
before Justice Henry yesterday, and
was held to answer to the Superior
Court, bail being fixed in the sum OF
$1,000
M. Tsuda, from whom the robbers
took 1922 identified Rolf as the man
who had held a pistol at his face while
the rest went through his pockets
Tsuda said there were four of the rob-
bers and as the moon was full he saw
them all very distinctly.
The witness said one Of the four
robbers fired a shot, wounding his
friend, T. Yokota, in the head.
County Detective Max P. Fisher tes-
tilted that he had had a conversation
with Rolf subsequent to his arrest. He
had told him of the mass of evidence
that would be used against him, and
Rolf had said he would make no de-
fense, as the witness had too strong a
case against him. He said he was one
of the four men who robbed the Japs,
but declined to say a word which might
lead to the detection of his confederates
and said he would not testify against
them if they We're captured.
Rolf expressed wish to make
statement and was placed under oath,
He said:
"I am one of the four men who robbed
the Japs. Me and my partner didn'
do anything to him but take his money.
I don't want to make any denial and
What Fisher said was true"
In answer to a question put by JUS
tice Henry, Rolf said he was born in
Denmark and lived at Salinas. He had
been in the State about six years. He
said he was 81 years old and that he
had before been in trouble down be-
low," presumably in San Francisco.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Congress as
sembled today under circumstances of
unusual public interest. The same
congress, six months ago, declared wal
against Spain; now, with the war
fought and won, it reassembled for the
first legislative consideration of ques-
tons developed by the eventful months
just past. The spirit of the occasion,
however, was not one of immediate eX-
pectancy, for the few months left to
the existence, Of the Fifty-ffth con-
gress give promise of little more than
a beginning on the momentous prob
lens and policies growing out of the
war.
AS usual all Washington turned its
attention to the capitol for the gain
event which marks the opening day OF
the session.
When congress convened, promptly
at noon, the galleries of both houses
were crowded. There was Il good at
tendance Of senators and members.
When General Wheeler came on the
floor of the house he was surrounded
by half a hundred members and re-
ceiyed a great ovation. si
A roll call developed the presence OF
2e7 members, l79 being a quorum.
A call Of the senate developed the
presence of sixty seven members. The
usual resolutions We're offered and
adopted. After appointing q committee
to call on the president and adminis-
tering the oath of office to Mr.. Simon,
of Oregon, n recess was taken for a
half hour pending the receipt of the

standing behind the breastworks

Of the head to be got out. While the
captain has suffered much. he has at
tended to his mercantile and planting
interests.
The manner in which the-bnllet was
located was purely accidental. Cap
tain Myatt was suffering from tooth
ache, and called on DR.. c. B. Johnston
to have him pull the tooth, which was
giving him considerable pain. On.
closer examination DR.. Johnston found
it was not tooth, buf u lenden bullet
that was causing all the trouble. He
called in Drs. Brewer and Faulk,
physicians, who made the same dag
nosis of the case as he himself had
made Captain Wyatt refused to be
put under the influence of anesthetics
and the dentist undertook to drill the
ball out, and after several sittings sue
ceeded in extracting the bullet. The
bullet after entering had turned down
at right angles and came under the
eye, whence it had gradually worked
its way down to the Jaw.
