Two Men and Robbed.
CHAS. STURNS ARRESTED
Robbery Occurred on Santa Fe
Track at Fifth and Second.

Randolph Adams, a young man who re-
sides with his stepfather. Mr.. Burger, at
1909 Mead avenue. was held up and rob
bed Of $45 yesterday afternoon at 3
O'Clock by two young men who, ne claim
ed. had enticed him to walk up the Santa

quenter named Charles Stearns was ar

The robbery occurred on the Santa Fe
track near Fifth avenue and Second
street. The officers claim TO have a lear
case against Stearns, as ne was seen
running from the scene shortly after the
wards arrested by the officers and is be-
ing held for investigation.
According TO the boys story he has
been running his stepfather's shoe shop
on Oak street while he was on the Jury
in the district court He claims that he
had in his pocket about SIS which be-
longed to his mother. He fell in COM
pany with Stearns and another fellow
whose name he could not recall and on
Tuesday they commenced to take in the
rounds of the saloons. This lasted until
yesterday and considerable money was
spent. His version Of the transactions is
that they spent no money. Yesterday
afternoon his companions inveigled him
to accompany them up the railroad
track. When Second street and Fifth
avenue was reached young Adams claim
ed he was forcibly thrown to the ground
and relieved of about $45. He exerted all
of his physical energy to resist the at
tack, but without avail. He succeeded,
however, in alarming the neighborhood,
but did not without being struck in the
face several times.
Eye witnesses to the hold-up disclose
that they saw Stearns running up the
track with the money in his hand.
After the robbery telephone alarm
was sent to the police, and Detectives
Sutton and Cairns were put on the case.
What information could be learned was
gained from Adams, and Stearns was
shortly afterwards arrested. He stoutly
protested his innocence, but he was lock-
ed up, as there is said to be witnesses
who will swear that Stearns was one of
the principals in the robbery.

Smith, is being held for future develop
ments. charge Of vagrancy has been
entered against him.
When Stearns was taken 70 the hold
over he was searched, but only 80 cents
was found in his possession. The officers
learned that after the assault he visited
his home and had ample time to dispose
Of it. Stearns' wife called upon him at
the police station yesterday afternoon.
She is a reputable woman and the Of /
hcers are inclined 10 sympathize with |
her. Stearns will he given a hearing in |
court today. A state proceeding has not !
been instituted against him as yet, but
probably will be today.

confined to the few who owned them and

city in which the winning boat was built
would have shared in the glory Of the vic

would have been given employment and
encouraged to persevere in developing a

that boats having fine models and possess

either city. The proof of this is seen in
the hundreds of small craft on our in

A EAR-REAcHING CONTROVERSY.

u z \
II looks as II The Sampson schley con-
troversy would play a part in the selec-
zion % a Republican candidate for Vice
President It Is known that many Of the
leading Republicans think that Mr.. Long,
the Secretary Of the Navy. would be the
strongest candldafe their party could
nominate tor taat Office. Mr.. Long has
all that while he did not seek the nomi-
nation. he would accept it If it were Of
fered 10 him.
IL seems. however, that the opinion is
held 10y other Republican leaders hat the
uorfnation Of Mr. Long would be the
weakest that could BE- made on account Of
mis- connection with the Sampson-Schley
controversy. The Times-Herald Of Chi
cago. for instance. says:
How can the Republicans best help
the Democrats 10 carry New York and
one other OF the states named?
By nominating John D. Long for Vice
President That would inject the Ssmp-
son-Schley issue into the controversy and
present Maryland 10 Bryan on 16 to
silver salver. That il would also go far
to help him to the thirIy-six electoral
votes OF New York is the belief Of all
those who remember the difference in
New York's greeting Of Admirals Schley
and Sampson az the Dewey reception last
fall"
II IS fact that the people of both
Maryland and New Yorw have a very
strong admiration for Admiral Schley. In
Maryland it is considered almost d sin
TO take SIDES against him in the Sampson
Schley controversy. 1t will be recalled
that at the Dewey reception in New York
city the honor paid TO Admiral Schley
was almost as great as that paid to Ad
miral Dewey. Secretary Long has taken
a very positive stand in favor Of Admiral
Sampson. His nomination as Vice Pres
ident would therefore, likely revive che
Sampson-Schley controversy and cost the
Republican party both Of the forego-
ing states. When the controversy was
at its h.ghs it was not thought that it
would have any bearing upon the presi-
Dental contest AS a rule, however,
such controversies have an influence that
reaches much further than the parties to
them have any idea OF.
