THE PIPE WENT OUT
A Gauzy Story of Robbery Told to the
Police BY Carpenter

Herman Gathmann, a carpenter, re-
siding at 120 South Flower street, ap-
pered at the police station shortly after
midnight last night and related gauzy
story of robbery. In an incoherent man
ner he declared that he had been fol-
lowed by unknown persons whom he
never saw, but who by some strange in
fluence which he could not explain, led
him into remote parts of the city and
took small amounts of money from him.
He denied that the influence over him
by these unknown persons had any
thing to do with alcohol. Last night, he
said, he was robbed of 500 while going
home from the Santa Fe depot. He could
not remember how he got to the depot
or how he got on a car for home. He
discovered his loss upon reaching his
house and at once went to the police
station. He scorned the assistance of
the detectives when that was suggested
to him. The man was not drunk but
about the only Ineligible statement he
made was to roast the detectives for not
recovering a watch he had lost several
weeks ago.

they came to California about thirty
years ago, since which time he has re-
sided in many portions of the state. He
watched his little step-daughter pass
from childhood to womanhood, and then
she married, and finally, few years
ago, he lost his wife, and since then
he found his way lonely and his home
cheerless.
He has been q contractor and Is well

IN HARD LUCK
Magnate Won Der Abe kidnapped by
Pitcher Baldwin

PITTSBURG, Feb. THE Pittsburg
Dispatch this morning contains the fol-
lowing telegram from staff cores
pondent, dated st. Louis, Mo-:
Chris Won der Abe, the baseball mag
nate, was taken into custody here last
evening by Pittsburg detective. The
most unique character in the sporting
world was really kidnapped, and is now
on his way to the Smoky City, where
his body may be held for an indefinite
period on a judgment given by the courts
in the suit brought by Mark L. Baldwin,
the baseball pitcher.
The kidnapping of Mr.. Won der Abe, for
it is such, in the true sense of the word
will no doubt create big sensation. He
was decoyed to the st. Nicholas hotel
by means of strategy, where he was
hustled into a carriage. after being
shown the bailpiece carried by Detective
Nichols Bendel. The carriage was
driven around aimlessly until it was
time to board train for the east; then
he was showed into it. and is now on his
way to Pittsburg. where he will either
have to make good the judgment of $2500
rendered against him in the Baldwin
case or remain in jail until such time as
William A. Nimick who was on his bond
when first arrested on the charge pre-
ferred by Pitcher Baldwin was made, is
satisfied. The kidnapping party has been
heard from, and is we'll on its way to
Pittsburg.

Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
| LONDON. Feb. THE following is a
forecast of the speech from the throne,
to be delivered at the opening of parlia-
ment tomorrow:
Referring to China, the queen VIII
speak favorably of the pacific relations
between the powers, and will then point
out the satisfaction experienced at the
conclusion of the treaty of peace be-
tween Greece and Turkey Dealing with
India, complimentary illusions Will be
made to the valor and loyalty of the
British Indian troops. There Will be
lengthy reference to the West Indies and
to the governments intentions as out
lined by the secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, and the
speech will then express the"hope that
the international sugar sonference VIII
have satisfactory results. Inc nrst
place in the estimates is devoted TO the
army needs and the chief bills promised
will be local government for Ireland ana
the London municipality bill. providing
as announced by the Marquis of Sails
bury, for the modification of the London
county council in the direction OF decen-
traliZation.
The speech is expected to be long, but
rather more remarkable for its omls-
sions than for its contents. 1t is quite
evident that no settlement has yet been
arrived at respecting China which Will
admit of more than bare mention. The
same applies to the West African diff
Guilty with France and the troublesome
Cretan negotiations, which are again in
a state of collapse.
The public is anxious to learn more
about the Soudan advance. but it is not
likely to be gratified to any extent. 1t
is said, however. that there will be
long reference to the West Indies and
the sugar commission. No proposal will
be made to relieve the Indian exchequer
of the costs of the campaign on the
northwest frontier. The message is
addressed especially to the house of
commons, will deal largely with the in
tended increase in the army estimates,
with a view to strengthening the army
and amending the conditions of service.
Some fourteen new bills are mentioned,
mostly of local interest.
The Marquis of Salisbury and the oth-
er leaders gave the customary parila-
mentary dinners this evening.
Lord Rosebery returned to town today
from Naples.
