Harry Smith, a sailor, was assaulted by two men on Minna street, between Third and Fourth, at 1 o'clock yester- day morning, and after being beaten into insensibility was robbed of $35 and his hat and coat The unfortunate man was found lying on the sidewalk by a policeman, and he was at once removed to the Receiving Hospital.
 He was bleeding profusely from a deep gash In his head, the result Of be- ing struck presumably with some in strument. After the wound was dressed Smith was detained at the hospital in order that the police might secure statement from him.
 Last night two detectives who were detailed on the case by Chief Lees in- terviewed him with a view of getting clew to the robbers. Smith, according to the story, arrived in this city last Saturday morning after cruise In the Arctic waters. He had $50 when he left the vessel, and meeting several old ac- quaintances he invited them to sa- loon, where they had a number of drinks.
 After leaving them he went up Min na street, intending to visit a friend, who had on previous occasion Sa1led the seas" with him. AS he passed Third street he was accosted by two evil-looking men, one of whom asked him for match. Suspecting that they intended to hold him up, Smith started to walk away, when one of them struck him over the head with some instru- ment, felling him to the ground. As he lay prostrate the robbers searched his pockets, securing all the money he had Before leaving their helpless vic tim one of the them kicked him in the side, injuring rib.
 Smith describes the man who first assaulted him as being about S5 years of age and shabbily dressed. He had several weeks growth of beard on his face and wore dark slouch hat, which was pulled down over his eyes, evident Iy for the purpose of concealing his features. The other, he says, looked like a professional hobo, and spoke with foreign accent. He believes that he can identify his assailants in case they are arrested.

RADIO senator, "to waste lather to shave

The above remark may have been
slightly undiplomatic, according to all the
rules and regulations laid down by Tai
leyrand and his successors, but it must be
conceded to have some force.
The President should not permit this
apparent breach of senatorial etiquette on
the part of Senator Wolcott to prevent
his calling upon the Colorado statesman
to accept a high diplomatic office.
Senator Wolcott is several years older
today than he was when he made the
remark quoted above, and, of course, he

he said, in the voluntary contribution
plan in preference to assessment, for he

fitting by the success of the party should
contribute proportionateiy. In support of
this he announced that he would sub

Nor can we forget that since our last
