KEEPS HIS WORD AND
BLOWS UP THE BANK
Unknown Robber With Revolver and
Bomb Causes a Stir In Which
He Loses His Life.

SEATTLE, WASH. Sept. ia spe-
cial from Skagway, Alaska, says: Yes
terday afternoon an unknown man
walked into the Canadian Bank of
Commerce, revolver in one hand and
dynamite bomb in the other, and de-
manded $4,000, threatening to blow
all into eternity.
Cashier Pooley and Teller Wallace
were the only two men in the bank.
Wallace ducked to get his gun and
ran quickly to the back Of the room,
yelling for Pooley to do the same.
"No you don't" yelled the man, and
dropped the bomb.
The clerks had just gotten out of
the window. The bank was wrecked.
The robbers head was smashed and
one arm was torn off. People living
above the bank were blown into the
air. j. G. Price, formerly prosecut-
ing attorney, who was entering the
bank at the time, was hurt but not Sc
riously. The dynamiter died without
regaining consciousness. The bank
lost about thousand dollars, chiefly
in gold, which was lying on the coun-

1t might be said that in naming Col
Castor to head the ticket precedent
was shattered, inasmuch as he was
nominated and then given a platform
of his own -.dictation. Not unlike the
famous conventions of 1896 and 1900,
the fight was over the national issues
on the platform. The test Of strength
was between Col. CASTOR on the one
hand and George Fred Williams, orce
the Stalwart leader of the Silver DEM
ocrats, on the other. In this battle Mr..
Williams was utterly routed, with the
predicted result that he is shorn Of all
power Of leadership.
Gaston's Condition for Running.
The platform adopted is repudia-
ton of the Kansas City platform for
Mr.. CASTOR refused to be the nominee
if in any way the declaration of prin-
ciples could be construed to indorse
those things most prominently advO-
Gated by the party in the last two na-
tiOnal campaigns.
Mr.. Williams was chairman of the
committee on resolutions and at first
proposed the Endorsement Of the Kan
sas City platform. In Difference to the
protests of Josiah Quincy, a member
of the committee speaking for Cob.
CASTOR, he consented to waive the in
dorsement and proposed planks in
which the national question of trusts,
monopolies and corporations were dealt
with in strong language.
Mr.. Quincy wrote a platform which
was acceptable to Mr.. Castor, whose
convention strength was estimated,
rightfully as it proved, at four to cne
over Charles S. Hamlin, the other can
didate for the nomination. In commit
tee last night Mr.. Quincy's draft was
accepted by a majority vote of IA to T.,
which was repealed before the conven-
ton opened. Mr.. Williams prepared a
minority report
Didn't Mind Kisses.
The convention opened with trouble
brewing. 1t came soon after Mr.. Gas
toms nomination when the matter of
platform was brought up. The battle
from the floor was one of bitter words,
during which delegates, objecting to
Mr.. Williams sarcastic references to
the last five planks in the platform,
which he said were placed there at
Mr.. Gaston's solicitation, hissed and
cried him down. Throughout the tu-
multi the speaker exultantly surveyed
the throng and when order was re-
stored concluded his speech. to be
Missed again as he sat down. The
minority report was utterly defeated.
Another incident before closing was
the rejection Of the report Of the COM
mittee on the rest of the state ticket
and the acceptance Of a sub-list brought
in by minority Of the committee. The
reason given was that the majority
gave too many offices to men in the
Eastern part of the state. Immediate
ly thereafter Mr.. Hamlin, taking the
platform, asked that Mr. Gaston's nonl-.
ination be made unanimous, which
was done amid cheers and the conyen-
ton adjourned.

THAT EDEN WAS
TOO ADAMFUL
Living Models at the National Dress
makers Convention Quit the
Business.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE living
models at the National Dressmakers'
convention have gone on strike, and
one Of the most interesting features of
the meeting has met the fate of the
pull back skirt and the long petticoat
and will be seen no more.
Hereafter no more living models will
be used to display the gowns and the
corsets, and the familiar, but less at
tractive dry goods store dummy, will
take the place of the Trilbys who have
posed for the benefit Of art and the
crowd, showing the beauties of the
straight front, the kangaroo effect and
just how and how much skirt should
be raised in different localities and in
different kinds of weather.
Their. grievance was that the con-
vention could not be kept an Adamless
Eden. Men would come and the strain
to the models modesty became un-
bearable.

FIRES WHEN CALLED
ON TO SURRENDER
Nebraska Man Who Killed His Di-
vorced Wife and Her Father Is
Corraled in Field.

WINSIDE, Neb., Sept. 17.-David
Leary, a Winside liveryman, started
out alone this afternoon to try to To-
cate a suspect who had been seen
about four miles from here. Leary
came upon two men driving some cat
tie and thought one Of them was Me
genfind, the Pierce county fugitive.
Leary went to a nearby farm house
and procured a shotgun, and the as
sistance of Perry Borum, who had a
rifle. The two men went across a field
to intercept the herd and soon came
upon Niegenf1nd. They called upon
him to throw up his hands. His reply
was to draw revolver and to shoot
point blank at Leary, at the same time
springing behind his companion, using
him as shield. Niegenfind fired his
remaining five shots without effect.
Then Leary and Borum poured a fusil-
lade of shots into him until he fell He
brought to Winside and doctors be-
lieve he will live, although he is un-
conscious.
Niegenfind killed his divorced wife
and her father and wounded two other
members of her family.

force one of their children to observe
the obligations of humanity in the
case of the Jews. The appeal takes
the form of a state paper, remarkable
in several respects which has been
dispatched in Identical form to every
ambassador and minister Of the United
States residing in one of the countries
of Europe, which were parties to the
famous treaty at Berlin Of 1878,
namely, Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Russia, Italy, Austria and Tur-
key, marking the termination of the
Turko Russian war and the creation
by the direct act of the powers of the
independent Balkan states.
Because the powers are thus re-
sponsible for the existence of Rou-
mania, the culprit in this case, the
secretary of state has directed the note
to them in the hope that that they will
bring this government to sense OF its
duties toward civilization at large as
we'll as to cause 1t to amel1orate the
frightful condition of the Roumanian
Jews. In measure, this action by the
department of state may be traced to
the many petitions of the Jewish soci-
eties and humanitarians generally, as
specting the growing dangers of the
immigration of degenerates. Among.
the contents of the document is this:
"The United States welcomes now,
as 1t has welcomed from the founda-
ton of It's government, the voluntary
immigration of all aliens coming hither
under conditions fitting them to be-
come merged in the body polite of this
land. Our laws provide the means for
them to become incorporated indistin-
guishably in the mass Of citizens and
prescribe their absolute equality with
the native born, guaranteeing to them
equal civil rights at home and equal
protection abroad. The voluntary
character of their coming is essential,
hence we shut out all immigration as
sisted or constrained by foreign agen-
cies. The purpose of our generous
treatment of the alien immigrant is to
benefit us and him alike-not to af-
ford to another state field upon
which to cast it's own Objectionable
elements.
"The condition Of large class of
the inhabitants of Roumania has for
many years been source of grave
concern to the United States. / refer
to the Roumania Jews, numbering
some 100000. Long ago, while the
Danubian principalities labored under
oppressive conditions which only war
and general action Of the European
powers suff1ced to end, the persecution
Of the indigenous Jews under Turkish
rule called forth in 1872 the strongest
remonstrance of the United States"

COUNTRIES DON'T ACT
At Least They Fail to Suppress the
Poaohins-Vessels Caught in These
Operations to Be confiscated and
Commanders and Crews Given Three
Months Imprisonment.

ODESSA, Sept. 1S.-The Russian
minister of agriculture and state do
mains, M. Yermoloff, has announced
that he has now taken effective meas
ures for the suppression of the sys-
tematic poaching operations of Amer.
leans and Japanese among the seal
and other animals on the northeastern
coast of Siberia.
Although anxious to comply with
the reiterated representations of Rus
sia, the Washington and Toxic govern
ments have failed to put an end to
this illicit fishing in Russian waters.
M. Yermoloff now gives formal no
tice that American and Japanese
poachers captured within the limits of
Russias maritime jurisdiction on tho
Siberian coast will be liable to three
months Imprisonment and their ships
and cargoes to confscation. This order
will be enforced by three fast gunboats.
No discrimination will be made. The
commanders and crews of poaching
vessels will be subjected to the same
punishment. In case of refusal to
surrender or attempt to escape the
commanders of the Russian gunboats
are empowered to fire upon and sink
