H|CHWAYMEN
MAKE A RAID
Masked Men Despoil
Victims in Park and
on Street.
Citizens Quickly Obey Com
mand to Hand Over
Valuables.

Footpads were busy In the city again
last night, and while the extent of their
operations is not yet known. they added
e number Of victims to their lists.
Golden Gate Park was the scene of a
wholesale raid Of the thieves and two
buggies. each containing two persons, and
six cyclists were halted by the fash Of
the desperadoes' guns. and in each in
stance no argument preceded the handing
over by the victims Of belongings Of more
or less value.
Two robbers, their features hidden be-
hind masks, perpetrated the crimes In
the city's pleasure place. They worked
rapidly, and before their first victim had
had time to inform the police Of their
presence in the park they mad despoiled
their last victim and had made good
their escape. No description of any value
could be obtained of the robbers, all of
the startled benefactors of the thugs not
ing little but the flash of the pistols Of
the thieves, the gruff command PRO
duce," the quick compliance Herewith
and the as quickly obeyed order to move
on and not look back at peril of their
lives.
AS soon as the first robbery was reported
mounted police hurried along the park
drives, but save meeting a new victim
now and then their work was without re-
suit.
shortly after midnight a pedestrian was
startled as he reached the corner of Bush
and Polk streets by the command:
Throw up your hands" He obeyed and
under the persuasion of revolvers in the
hands of two masked robbers handed
over $40 He then obeyed an order to
move on and as soon as a good distance
separated him from the robbers he broke
into a run which he continued until he
met a policeman to whom he told his
story
The policeman returned with him to the
scene of the robbery but the thugs had
disappeared and uD to late hour this
morning no trace of them had been found.

NEW MATERIAL
FOR BUILDINGS
Poured Concrete, Says
Donohoe, Is Coming
Method.
Claims 1t Surpasses Every
Other Substance for
Construction.

P. J. Donohoe, the architect. who was
who built the arena at Carson City in
which Corbett and Fitzsimmons battled
for the championship, is in the city after
an absence Of several years In Seattle,
where he now lives
Donohoe is an enthusiast over a new
method of constructing buildings. 1t is
known as the poured concrete method,
which has come into general use in all
the cities Of the Northwest and bids fair
TO replace brick, stone and stucco facing
in the future.
Donohoe is authority for the statement
that many persons contemplating the
erection Of buildings in this city will take
trip to Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana for the purpose of inspecting struc-
lures that have been built on this system,
and he expects that in the future all i'm
portant buildings here will adopt this
method. The architect at Palo Alto, &C
cording to Mr.. Donohoe, has determined to
employ this material in the future con-
struction of the university buildings. Mr..
Donohoe said yesterday:
Steel and concrete will be the building mate
rial of the future. They are the only two ele-
ments possessing the durability and practica-
bility demanded in modern structures. Poured
concrete lime and cement mortar are pre-
servatives for the steel frame work. protecting
il against rust and erosion and combined they
offer the only true freproof material for struc-
lures.
From every point Of view poured concrete
buildings are superior to those of every other
type. They are monolythic: the settlement Of
the ground beneath them is properly equalized
by ason Of the enormous stiffness of the
structure; they consist practically of one ma
terial and variations of temperature cannot
produce unsightly cracks; they become stronger
with age, concrete forming an artificial stone
on which the air has the effect OF making it
more solid thus rendering 1t better than the
best stone that came from quarry.
The concrete is poured in forms around the
steel frame, the thickness of a wall for an
eight-story building being about three and a
half inches. This saves in floor space over
brick and wood from to two feet and the
construction can proceed very rapidly. Time
cost, durability, appearance and everything
that goes to make up building advantages all
favor this new method and its general adoption
is fney-ffabIe
