LONE HIGHWAYMAN.
An OId-Fashioned Stage Robbery I'm
California.

California.
NAPA, Cal, Sept 14-The Calistoga and
Lake Port stage was held up today by a
solitary highwayman, who made off with
the express box.
The scene of the robbery. known as
Desperate Bend" was an admirable
spot for the successful carrying out of
the highwayman's plans. The road there
runs through heavy underground, and,
coming suddenly around a curve, the
stage driver was confronted by mask
ed robber, who covered him with his shot
gun and ordered him to stop. The pas
sengers were then commanded to dis
mount from the stage and were drawn up
in a row while the highwayman abstract
ed the express box Of Wells-Fargo & Co.,
but left the United States mail bag and
made no attempt to rob the passengers.
The robber then plunged into the thick
ct which adjoins the road and the last
heard of him was report which probably
indicated the blowing off of the lock on
the express box.
The hold-up was accomplished one mile
from the Mount st. Helena toll house,
and Sheriff Dunlap, of Napa county, was
promptly notified. He started at once
with posse in search of the highway
man, of whom he has q good description.
The officers of Lake county have also
joined in the pursuit.
Wells Fargo & Co. state that the val
lie of the contents of the treasure box
was inconsiderable.

SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
Returned Colorado Soldiers AIlege
Corruption in Manila

DENVER, Col, Sept. 14-Napoleon E.
Guyot, late private of Company G, First
Colorado Volunteers, who, during the
last three months of 1928, served as a
clerk under Maj. Kilbourne, and later
under Lieut.-Col. Potter, auditor of pub
tic accounts. Manila, publishes this even
ing a signed statement in which the
gravest charges of corruption are made
against officials in Manila. He says an
examination of the vouchers forwarded
to Washington will show that exorbitant
prices are paid for all kinds of supplies
purchased in Manila; that vast Quanti-
ties of high-class wines ana other sup
plies have been purchased, ostensibly for
the Spanish hospitals, while in the Ameri-
can hospitals only the coarsest supplies
are furnished. He says courts-martial of
private soldiers charged with selling gov
ernment property have been stopped be-
cause they would result in the exposure
of official rascallty. The robberies, he
asserts, will aggregate an enormous sum.

"'Since Mr.. Mcxinley's election in 1896
some notable events have contributed to
create a situation of which the dema-
gogue loves to take advantage. That
times have improved since 1896 is true,
that the Mckinley administration Is the
cause of this improvement is false. Two
consecutive crop failures abroad created
an unparalleled demand for food sup
plies and series of heavy harvests en-
abled us to fully supply this demand, and
thus did we rake in the shekels. This
fortunate condition being an entirely
natural one, would have happened even
if the whole Republican party including
Mr. Mckinley had died of remorse of
conscience, as they should have done
when they sold the presidency. The un-
expected and constantly increasing out
put of the worlds gold mines amounting
now to several times more than it did a
few years ago, is another factor in the
improved condition. These two sources
of money supply have demonstrated with
the precision of arithmetic that our con-
tention is true-an increase of the money
supply was necessary precedent to
prosperity 1t was, because Of this fun
damental reason that we have believed
and now believe in bimetallism.''

Afrikanders Are Fully Aware of the

LONDON, Sept 15.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Times says:
"It is very doubtful whether an un-
qualified acceptance of Great Britain's de-

The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that NJ. Delcasse, the French foreign
minister, has directed the French consul
in the Transvaal to endeavor to persuade
President Kruger to accept Mr.. Chamber
lain's proposal. The Pretoria correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph says:
1.-THE members of the volksraad received
Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch defantly to-
day Thursday. Individual members de-
clare that Great Britain must moderate
her demands. On the other hand, ru-
nor is current that President Kruger ia
vors compliance, and has even suggested
that he desires the irreconcilables to
leave Pretoria and consult their constitu-
ents, thereby avoiding their opposition.
This belief is held in Johannesburg, and
accounts for the hopeful condition of the
market, but the general public is pessi-
mistic.'
The Times publishes the following from

Steyne's silence is interpreted as show
ing an intention Of supporting the Trans

influence at present is on the side Of
peace Public feeling is running very
high, and unless President Kruger makes
an emphatic pronouncement in favor Of
corciliation, the great majority Of the
Beers will inevitably vote against any
concession beyond the seven years fran

STRENGTHENING DEFENSES.
The Cape Town correspondent of the

Trenches are being excavated and earth
works constructed. 1t is reported that
both raads will adjourn at the end of the
week to enable members to consult their
constituents on the questions raised In

The Pretoria correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says that when Mr.. Conyng-
ham Green, the British diplomatic
agent, suggested forty-eight hours as the
period within which the reply Of the
South African republic was expected the
Transvaal representative replied:
eff your suggestion is serious the reply
will be ready in forty-eight minutes

PRETORIA, Sept. 1.-THE discussion
of the first draft of the reply to the Brit

Kruger having left at 4 o'clock and not
having returned. 1t is understood the
government will draw up the reply in its
final form tomorrow morning and 1mme-

The reply will be in terms strongly In

need of the repeal of an unwise and un-
just legislation. In the other there is
need of the enforcement of the penalties
which run against individuals hiding be-

do against individuals who stand upon
their own responsibility.
These are simple remedies, and the
wonder is not that they are needed, but
that, being needed, they are not prac7

Captain Fisher Withdraws Because
of Trouble With COurtneN

Ithaca, n. Y. March 2S.-The announce
ment of Captain Fisher, of the Cornell
Varsity crew, that he will shortly tender
his resignation from the captaincy and
withdraw permanently from the crew work
in the university, caused much comment
in the rowing circles here. Schuyler L.
Fisher was chosen captain of the crew last
year and has been very active in the train
ing of the crews during the spring 1t is
generally believed that the incident caus-
ing Captain Fishers resignation occurred
during the work of the Varsity crew can
didates last Saturday, when a most unfor-
tunate misunderstanding between Fisher
and Coach Charles Courtney arose Cap
tain Fisher WAS told by Courtney to take
one Of the old men out in the next combi-
nation. When the boat was filed il was
noticed that two of the old crew men were
out of the combination, and that their
places had been filled by two new men.
Courtney al once asked why his instruc-
tions had not been obeyed and remarked
that there had been some favoritism shown
last year, and he did not care to have any
Of it this year After reprimanding Fisher,
he told those of the older men who had
been left out of the combination not to go
out in the eight-oared combination with
Fisher, but to wait and go out in the four

Notwithstanding this order Fisher or

Courtney then ordered him to return to the

THINK THIS OVER.
RationaI Remedy for National
Trouble.

To say that hemorrhoids or the disease
commonly known as piles is national dis
ease may be slightly overdrawn, but il is
quite certain that al least one in every
four persons is so afflicted.
Because il is common and not imme-
diateIy fatal many suffer for years without
giving the trouble any medical attention.
Moreover the rather general impression
that a surgical operation is the only cure
has much to do with delaying attention un
til the disease becomes deep-seated and
chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that
The Pyramid Pile Cure is better than a
surgical operation; it cures without pain;
a. causes no detention from business, and
the cost is trifiing. All druggists sell il
at so cents per package.
The astringent effects of the acids in the
PYRAMID Pile Cure speedily contracts and
restores to their natural condition the
blood vessels of the affected parts, and as
Ii quickly dissolves in the rectum. the
remedy soothes and heals the irritated
surfaces, and these two things are the only
necessary requirements for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liabilities TO chronic liberation of the iec-
tai tissue, and nervous exhaustion from
loss of sleep and attendant pain and irri-
tation. All these symptoms the Pyramid
quickly relieves, and the fact that il is
the most popular and widely sold of any
pile cure is quite conclusive evidence OF
thorough merit. II you suffer from bleed

AGAINST SUNDAY THEATRES.
Ministers Informed That There Is NJ
Law to Fit the Case.


A number of leading Presbyterian minis
ters, headed by Rev. Asa S. Fiske, pastor
OF the Gunton Temple Memorial Presby-
terian Church, called upon Commissioner
Ross this afternoon and expressed their
adherence of Sunday theatrical and vaude-
Vile performances in local variety houses
They urged the enforcement of all laws
for the prevention of the desecration of the
Sabbath. but were informed by Commits
sioner Ross that the Commissioners are
now powerless TO interfere with the thea
tres. This was like the reply given to Rev.
Luther B. Wilson. Presiding Elder OF the
Washington District of the Baltimore con-
ference, of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Commissioner Ross read copy of the
old law of 1928, which imposes fine of 200
pounds OF tobacco upon persons who permit
unlawful amusements and recreations on
Sunday, but stated that the old law was
hardly applicable to the present case and
would hardly be recognized in the courts
as being broad enough TO include theatres.
Mr. Ross expressed n willingness TO do all
within the power OF the Commissioners 10
assist in breaking up Sunday concerts by
vaudeville talent. but said little could be
done until the cofvening of Congress.
