Henry Biehl. shot i'm head: will re-

They Took no Chances.
The robbers took no chances, but
disposed of all opposition of the en-
ployes before they entered the office.
Choosing the time when the employees
were busily engaged in balancing up
the receipts of the night just after the
last conductor had turned in his
money and left the barns, the robbers
suddenly appeared at the receiving
window and began shooting
The first intimation those inside the
office had that anything was wrong
was when they heard the shots. The
first bullet fired struck Stewart and he
fell to the floor without word. Biehl
and Edmund, who were sitting near
Stewart, turned to see what was the
matter, but before they could leave
their chairs they were rendered help
less by the well directed bullets of the
robbers.
Johnson, the motorman, who was
asleep on a bench in the outer office,
hearing the noise, started up to go to
the assistance of his companions but
was shot and killed before he could get
on his feet.
Making sure that all opposition had
been removed, the robbers then broke
open the door of the cashiers office
with a sedge hammer and secured 3d.
900 in bills which were lying on the
desk. They then made their escape
Four men were arrested three hours
after the robbery on suspicion of be-
ing implicated in the crime, but they
have not as yet been identified.

WHITES FORMER PLACE
GOES TO PLESKE.
His New Place One of Honor, hut
His Influence PrOblcmnticnl.

His New Place One of Honor, but
His Influence PrObIematicaI.
st. Petersburg, Aug. SO.-An i'm
perial rescript, dated Aug. 20, is pub
lished appointing Minister of Finance
White, president of the committee of
ministers. The rescript at the same
time entrusts him with the work of
bringing to a speedy successful con-
clusion the negotiations for the Russo
German commercial treaty. and with
the continued supreme direction of the
ministry of finance in order that his
close acquaintance with the require
ments of Russian commerce and in
dustry may be fully utilized.
The official messenger announces the
appointment of M. Pleske, director of
the imperial state bank, as minister of
finance.
Although the resignation of M.
White of the post of minister of finance
was expected ever since his last
budget statement, which had a vale
dictory tone, the secret was well kept.
M. WHITE went to Peterhof after mid
night and presented to the Car his
resignation and his recommendation of
NJ. Pleske as his successor simulta-
neously in order to forestall any in
trigues in the interest of some follow
er of M. Plevhe, minister of the in
terri.
M. Pleske has made a good reputa-
ton as director of the Imperial State
Bank. but he has never exhibited any
initiative, but has been a loyal subor-
dinate of NJ White and doubtless he
will try to carry on his policy.
The position of president of the Com
mittee of Ministers is one of great
honor, but M Whites future influence
is regarded as problematical, and his
promotion is considered as a triumph
for the Plevhe interest.
A special commission has been form
ed at which the prefecture, composed
of factory inspectors and various func-
tionaries of the secret police, with or
ders from Minister Plevhe to prevent
strikes at all hazards. The commission
is arresting and banishing workmen
by hundreds and has been authorized
to employ both preventive and repres-
siVe measures.

LABOR MEMS OATH
MENACE TO CHURCH.
No Catholic Could Keep That of
Some Unions, Says Rev. Baart.

No Catholic Could Keep That of
Some Unions, Says Rev. Baart.
Marshall, Mich, Aug. 30.-Rev. P. A.
Baart, rector of st. Mary's Church of
this city, to-day in a sermon on edu
cation, said that no Catholic would
consistently take or keep the oath of
some labor unions, and he mentioned
particularly the Typographical Union,
part of whose oath he quoted as fol-
lows:
81 hereby solemnly and sincerely
swear that my fidelity to the Typo
graphical Union and my duty to the
members thereof shall in no sense be
interfered with by any allegiance that
l may now or hereafter owe to any
other organization, social, political or
religious"
Father Baart said this oath placed
the union before the church and be-
fore the state and distinctly impeaches
the loyalty and catholicity of those
who take such an oath. Possibly the
leaders may have not recognized the
full force of the words they used In
their oath, he said, but whether they
did or not, every patriotic citizen and
every sincere, consistent Catholic
should demand that such an oath be
modified and that the Objectionable
clause be cut out.
