RAIDED a RAILROAD OFFICE.
Bold Masked Robbers Held Up Five
Men and Stole $4,000.

Philadelphia. June ia gang Of mask
ed robbers, probably ten in number early
this morning ralded the receiving Office OF
the Falrmount Park Transportation Com
pany, at Belmont. in Fairmount Park
and, after holding up the receiver and
five other employees OF the railway, blew
open the safe, securing sS,5O0.55. the COM
pany's receipts for two days.
In addition to the men who actually
committed the robbery, others operated
miles away from the scene by destroying
telegraph and telephone wires connecting
with the trolley companys main offices.
Peter Duffert and Charles Smith, who
say they live In Newark, ". j., and AL
bert Leeds of Philadelphia, were arrest
ed IN Fairmount Park this afternoon on
suspicion of being connected with the
robbery. They we're sent to prison for
further hearing IN default Of bail.
Charles A. Porter, president OF the
Fairmount Park Transportation Compa-
n.y. said this afternoon:
There is every reason to believe that
some former employees OF the transporta-
tion company were implicated in the rob
berry. We have been compelled TO hire
miliarity of the robbers with the metn-
DDS pursued by the company shows they
were not ignorant outsiders. It Is my
opinion that expert cracksmen have gain
ed the ear of some of our discharged em-
ployes, and in that way the conspiracy
was hatched and carried to a successful
outcome"

wALDECK-ROUssEAU GIVES UP.
Krantz's Refusal Brings an End to
His Cabinet Efforts.

Paris, June 19.--It was announced late
this evening that Senator Waldeck-Rous-
seau had declined the task Of forming a
new cabinet.
The failure of M. Waldeck-R Rousseau is
due it is said, TO the refusal of Camille
Krantz to accept the portfolio of pub
lie works. which he considers inferior to
the portfolio of war; held by him in the
retiring cabinet. But for this, the Wal
deck Rousseau slate was complete.
M. Poincare and Guillain made their
acceptance of Office dependent upon the
inclusion of NJ, Krantz. The latter, beside
refusing the portfolio of public works,
expressed his disapproval OF certain meas
ures which NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau propos-
ed to take against the generals and colo
nels who recently inspired a newspaper
propaganda in favor of the army.
The failure of NJ. Waldeck-R Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly difficult
Both NJ. Casimir-Perier and Gen. Brq-
gere declined to enter the cabinet Il
IS quite uncertain whom NJ. Loubet will
now summon. Possibly he may call upon
NJ. Sarrien or Paul Deschanel, president
of the Chamber of Deputies.
