Vallejo, CAL, August 6 Gold bricks
weighing 1900 pounds and worth $SsJ 600
were stolen during the night from the

b4ing the greatest huu Of precious metal
known in the annals Of crime.
The robbers evidently had been work
ing on tho Job for two Or three months.
They had dug q tunnel through tho
loose sand from The shore Of Francisco
Bay to tho smelling house, beginning
with shaft about three feet dosp
There they worked underneath the vault
and striking UPWARDS bored hole In the
strong room floor. Thruughthat hole
they took the gold bricks and carried
them to bank, near the mouth Of the
tunnel east of the works, where they were
evidently placed In boat. In their
hurry tho robbers left $4,000 worth OF
gold in the vault, and they also left on
The shore two bricks worth $4,000. Had
they taken all they saw they would have
added $4,000
During the night one Of the workmen

General Steel Strike Being Watched

Philadelphia, August 6.--Ship and

tural steel and iron are watching closely
strike among iron and steel workers, and
all arc apprehcnsve of the result One
of the best informed ship builders said
yesterday afternoon:
at would be difficult to predict. at the
present time. just what effect II general
strike would have on the ship hllilln.
trade. Strikes among ship builders dur
ing the past eighteen months have, in a
measure. retarded work. 1t has made
builders cautious about making contracts
and | venture to say there would be
many moro ships under construction If it
were not for this condition. Now Il strike
among steel workers would further hurt
business. The mills which tv"n ont
shapes. angle roE plates and tnN like
have been running steadily and on many
orders, | suppose it would b" possible to
continue running for Il month"; on others
not so long. That is supposing the supply
OF material to step completely.
"For some time we have been shipping
plate and all kinds of steel to Europe and
England. Englsh,huilt ships arc being
turned out made entirely of American
product. II is here that the iron trade
would suffer mtSt and suffer first This
is noV market one thai has pushed out
tho English and Continental product, and
if thu market is lost it would be hard
one to regain.'

missing since Thursday of last week, was
found to day Mt Castle Rock, Chester
County, by the special officer at that
place.
since Thursday Clark. who ia 20 years
old, has been wandering through the
country, subsisting no one knows where,
and sleeping wherever, through wcari-
ness, he lay down.
He was in an exhausted condition, bare
headed and baiefoutel. His family,
which has had the police of this city and
Philadelphia looking for the old man was
over joyed at his return.
Clark two years ago wandered from
home. His shepherd dog followed him,
and ovortaken by II blizzard, he would
have perlshel in tho snow and cold but
for the dog. whose whining attracted the
attention Of a passer by.
The faithful dog was guarding the old
man to day. and showed the livelest JOY
when the officer appeared.

on them.
Rowland pulled the horse off side

the engine just cut the two wheels oil

she saw the position she would have

constitutional law of our organization.
Article 10, section 35, of the constitution
states explicitly that where one man,
working for one company, shall have
difference with the company, all the
men in all the mills of that company shall
go ont and remain out until the griev'
ance is settled.
Therefore in this struggle between the
Amalgamated Association and the United
States Steel Corporation, all our people
who work for the United States Steel
Corporation are interested individually.
This is IN accordance with our own con-
stitution.
"Being desircns of doing the fair
thing, being willing to suffer rather than
do wrong, we notified the American
Tin Plate Company that our people
would cease work at the expiration of
a week, il the matter was not settled.
Partly as a result Of that notification,
the issue was withheld for the greater
part of another week: so that we gnve
the American Tin Plate Company eleven
days. Now the question arises, should
not the other companies receive similar
treatment before men are called out. l
am not vet sure that they ought to.
The general order will apply to all the
constituent companies Of the United
States Steel Corporation, which employs
members OF the Amalgamatcd Assota.

company, with one work. one ambition,

their notice and every union man working

THE COMING
LAWN FETE.'

The day is rapidly approaching for
the annual lawn-fete, at "Bishop-
stead, " in behalf of St. Michael's
Day Nursery and Hospital for Babies,
on Washington Street below Third.
This well known Charity has, for
years, been quietly doing its much
needed work for the little ones, and
is highly praised by those who know
of its workings, all over our State. l.
AS the expenses Of such an institu.
tion are necessarily great, it means,
Of course, an annual deficit, which IL
made up by the proceeds Of the lawn
fete, which will be held, this year, on
Wednesday afternoon and evening,
September 11th.
Bishop and Mrs. Coleman are al
ways the most gracious of hosts and
they seem determined, this year, that
the lawn fete shall even exceed, In
pleasurable cordiality, all that have
preceded 1T.
The managers of the institution
have been preparing for the coming
lawn fete for many weeks and henco
are hoping that the object for which
they are working, and the attractions
to be presented, including an excel
lent supper at reasonable price,
will induce large attendance.
1t would seem that they are quite
reasonable in their feeling that this
as being open to all, with
out any distinction whatsoever, and
IS il is the only one of its kind in the
State of Delaware should have the
and practical support Of all
we'll disposed people. M
