BOLD CRIMES
OF TWO THUGS
Hold Up Owner of Roadside
House and Traveller Who
Drives Up to the Resort

CHICO, Dec. 1.-Two bold robberies
took place at what is known as the
Ten-Mile House yesterday. Two men
entered the small store conducted there
by John Hollenbeck, a man more than
20 years of age. held him up at the
point of a revolver and relieved him of
his cash. They then tied the old man
up. laid him upon the floor and said,
I'VE are going to hitch UP your horse
and drive to Chico. Do not worry about
the rig. You will find the horse and
buggy at the Chico livery stable"
While the robbers were in the barn
James Garland drove up. He was
promptly robbed, as was the old man,
securely bound and laid beside him
upon the floor. The two men then took
Garland's horse and buggy and started
for Chico.
Garland managed to get loose. He re-
leased Hollenbeck and drove to China
switch, several miles distant, from
where he telephoned to Chico for of
ficers. The officers started for the scene
of the double robbery and when just
outside the city limits came upon Gar
lands rig. 1t had been abandoned by
the robbers. The entire country was
searched but no trace was found of the
robbers. The officers have but q poor
description of the bandits.

CAR GIVING UP HOPE OF
HOLDING PORT ARTHUR
FALL OF FORTRESS NOW EXPECTED
Brave Stoessel MAY
Be Ordered to
Surrender.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. with
the confirmation of the news that the
Japanese have occupied 203- Meter Hill
and the reports that the Russians
unsuccessfully attempted its recapture.
officials at the War Office are beginning
to prepare themselves for the newt
able. Golden Hill and Liaoti Hill are
higher and dominate 203- Meter Hill.
but the officials say that if the Jap
anese succeed in mounting heavy guns
upon the latter it probably will be
only a question of days or weeks be-
fore the fortress falls. Still there is
not the slightest idea among General
StoessePs friends that he will surren-
der, even if he should be ordered to do
so. 1t is limited that it is possible that
If the fall of the fortress is shown to
be inevitable the Emperor may direct
its surrender in order to prevent the
unnecessary sacrifice of the remnant
of it's brave defenders; but it is be-
lieved by those who know General
Stoessel best that he will make good
his threat to hold out to the last man
and last cartridge in Port Arthur
The ships in the harbor. it can now
be stated on high authority. are in no
condition to attempt to break through
the investing squadron. The guns of
the warships were long ago landed,
and the marines and sailors have been
participating in the land defense. Some
OF the ships also have been injured by
shells. If the fortress falls it is un-
derstood the ships will be taken outside
and sunk in deep water in order to
prevent the possibility of their ever
being of service to the enemy.

Lively Cannonading
in Progress Near
Mukden.

MUKDEN, Dec. From 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon until late tonight
sounds of rapid cannonade have been
heard on the Russian southwest front,
such as has not been experienced for a
long time, but no excitement has been
caused by the increase in noise. Cen
eral Rennenkampff, with his cavalry,
is following the retreating Japanese,
giving them no time to occupy a posi-
ton. 1t seems that the Japanese, in
attempting to seize Russian positions,
SO extended themselves as to deplete
their reserves.
Opinion is divided still as to the
prospects of another big battle before
spring. The report was circulated last
week that If the Japanese made no at
tack by a certain date General Kuro-
patkin would take the offensive. This
date has passed and still there is no
sign of movement on the part Of the
Russians who are establishing them
selves in quarters that will answer for
the winter. and accommodating large
supplies of food. Fighting continues
on both TANKS of the Russian army,
General Rennenkampffs command be-
ing heavily engaged There is also
brisk artillery firing on the Russian
right and center.

Guns and Rifles Are
TakenFromFoeby
Rennenkampff

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. "a spe-
cial dispatch received here from Muk-
den says:
1T is rumored that General Rennen-
kampf has captured several Japanese
guns and a convoy with 500 rifles, but
that a force of 10000 consisting Of Chi
nese bandits and a reserve of 5000
Japanese has started to turn Rennen-
kampff's flank
Other advices announce that Gen.
eral Rennenkampff has hotly pursued
Japanese detachment below Sintsin-
tin as far as the Taitse River and on
tie right Russian scouts have ex-
plOred the Hun River below Liaoyang.
All the passes fell into Rennenkampff' s
hands. The Japanese apparently failed
to show their old-time form, and off,
cial as we'll as unofficial dispatches in
dtcate that the edge has been taken
off the Japanese fighting capabilities
by the cold weather.
There was a heavy bombardment to-
day along the Russian center and
right which might indicate that Gen
eral Kuropatkin is preparing to as
sumo the offensive.
Among some of the best informed
officers a suspicion exists that Field
Marshal Oyama is trying to work
Kuroki around east of Sintsintin with
view to striking the Russians above
Tie Pass with the object of again try
ing a decisive coup, but no positive
evidence of such a move has yet ap-
peared. Reports the last few days in
dicate that General Rennenkampff is
hotly following up the japanese re-
treat, meeting with comparatively lit
tie resistance, but some fear is ex-
pressed that he may be running into
japanese trap formed with the hope Of
cutting off his command. 1t is believed
he cannot possibly hold a position as
far south as the TaitZe River

WINS LAURELs ON THE STAGE.
Success Crowns the Conscientious Ef-
forts of Mrs. Gilbert.

Mrs. George Henry Gilbert was born
at Rochdale, Lancashire, England. Oc-
tober 21, 1921. Her maiden name was
Anna Hartley. Her father was Henry
Hartley, a journalist, who died when
she was but 15 years of age and she
soon after entered upon the career In
which she was TO become so beloved
and famous.
Mrs Gilbert began as a ballet dancer
al the Ballet School of Her Majesty in
the Haymarket Theater, London. un-
der the instruction of the great Tag
lloni, taking minor parts in the theater
TO pay for her lessons.
She followed this line in London and
on Norwich circuits until 1849. when
she came TO America with her hus-
band, George Henry Gilbert. a we'll
known London ballet dancer of the
time, to whom she was married in
1876. Her husband died in 1863.
Mrs. Gilbert continued as a solo
dancer, achieving great success, espe-
cially in La Cigale." until 1857, when
she decided that her forte lay in the
character Of old woman and she at
once took up that line of playing.
From her first essay in that work
as Lady Creamy, in THE Serious
Family" down to the very last. she
played old woman parts with a finesse
and genuine sympathy never sur
passed by any actress on the English
speaking stage. She was identified In
the public mind with the typical grand
dame, the gentle elderly spinster, the
grandmother and more especially the
mother-in-law of stagedom.
In 1869 Mrs. Gilbert joined Au-
gustin Days company, with which she
remained until his death in 1899.
Although Mrs. Gilbert was long
known to the public as one of "Daly's
Big Four"-the others being Ada Re-
han, James Lewis and John Drew
DAILY was not the one who first
brought her out in New York. He
only discovered her after Mrs. Woods
had brought her there from the West.
Daly's death was a real bereave-
ment to Mrs. Gilbert. His theater had
become her home and he her warm
friend for thirty years. She accepted
an offer from Charles Frohman and
began a new chapter in her long life
story. She joined Annie Russell. who
was then playing Miss Hobbs" and
continued with the little star until
quite lately, winning warm love and
affection wherever and IN whatever
she appeared.
In 1901 Mrs. Gilbert published her
"reminiscences" which attracted
widespread attention, not only on ac-
count OF the beloved authoress herself,
but for the value OF dramatic history

CHINESE EDITOR ON THE WAR.
Ng Poon Chew Gives Opinion of Rus

SAal anu
Ng Poon Chew, managing editor Of
the Chung Sal Vat Pc, the Chinese
daily paper of this city, spoke before
American Union in the Academy of
Sciences Hall last night on The Far
Eastern Crisis-Its Cause and Effect
in Relation to China" The hall was
crowded and was profusely decorated
with the American and British flags.
President d'Evelyn presided.
The speaker defended Japan in her
course in the present war with Rus
sia and said in part:
Maybe Japan may be considered pagan, but
IL is in only. She is Christian as COM
pared to Russia. The Japanese Government Is
honest her statesmen are not corrupt; indeed,
corruption is undreamed CT by those who con-
duct the Japanese Government Can the same
be said of Russia? No There II is different
japanese statesmen strive Tor the good will
and have the confidence of the people. The
Mikado himself stands for the political freedom
of all his subjects.
Russia has long claimed to be the apostle Of
Christianity, yet look at and consider the
shameful persecution Of the Jews in the city
of Kishnef where men, women and children.
aye. and babes. were crying out for mercy
These pitifu cries were heard all the world
round and the streets are stained with the
blood of the massacred, and still Russia tells
she is Christian.
During the history of Russia's occupancy OF
Manchurfa the cruelty of her Cossacks toward
were sent by Russia the apostle of Christiani-
ty. Rather say the apostle OF cruelty the
scourge and damnation.
As for China there will be no peace until a
better government shall exist there, govern
ment for the people and by the people. But
the japanese Russian war will work wonders
for China because 1t will wake her up and
she will think and that will be something new.
Her thinking apparatus has got out Of gear
but this will send a thrill through her
whole system and she viii wake. China. with
her 45O COO 600 could not dare do what Japan,

sistance against Russian aggression.
But China will eventually be a great and
grand nation and will enjoy her heritage. she
has a grand future, future OF prosperity. for
they are not all fossils and old fogies there, as
is sometimes thought.
DR.. d'Evelyn announced that a
meeting of the Pacific Coast branch
of the American conference on inter-
national arbitration with Great Brat
ain and the other powers will be held
next Monday evening at Temple
Emanuel. DR.. d'Evelyn said that
the British and American Union of
San Francisco was the first body or
ganized for the pacific purpose Of
creating and fostering that sentiment
and which declared in it's preamble
its object to harmonic all relation
ships between the two peoples.
The other factors which have since
created much of the sentiment looking
toward arbitration, said the doctor.

Atlantic Union of New York and the
Transatlantic of Philadelphia.
