girl said TO be held as slave for i'm
moral purposes by a woman named
Ngan Ping at "a Baker alley. will be
rescued from her fate if the efforts of
Carrie G.. Davis succeed. Mrs. Davis,
who is superintendent of the Oriental
Bureau of the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary Society of the Methodist

perior Court for letters of guardian
ship and custody of the child. In the
petition she alleges that Ngan Ping is
believed to be a member of the high
binder class and has no respect for
the law. Should the Chinese woman
learn of the proceedings it is stated
she would refuse to obey the order of
the court and would hide the child.
Judge Trout ordered the Chinese
girl into the temporary custody of
Mrs. Davis and set July as the date
for hearing the matter of guardian
ship.

AND RANSACKS ROOMS
ChiId's Bank and Watch Stolen
From the Home of Mrs. Anna
Melbourne.

A telephone message was received
at the Central police station yester-
day afternoon that a burglar had en-
tered the house Of Mrs. Anna Mel
bourne, 577 Lombard street, during
her temporary absence. Captain
Duke sent Policemen Duffy and Ly-
cette, who discovered that the house
had been thoroughly ransacked. Bu-
reau drawers had been emptied of
their contents I'm a search for coin,
and the mattresses had been dra gged
from the beds.
Mrs. Melbourne told the policemen
that as soon as she returned she saw
that a burglar had been at work and
she made a hurried examination,
missing a child's bank containing $50
and a silver watch. She at once ran
to the corner grocery and asked the
grocer to telephone to the police sta
ton. A peddler was seen leaving the
house few minutes before Mrs. Mel
bourne returned and the officers got a
good description of him. Entrance
had been effected by the front door.

Four hundred dollars month for

ter of Wolf Fleisher is considered to
be twice as much as is needed, by the
son and two grandchildren of the de-
ceased. Therefore they have applied

to $500. In accordance with the peti-
tion of Barney F1eisher, Miriam Levy
and Rose Bush, Judge Trout has
cited Mrs. Esther Fleisher to appear
in court on July II and show cause
why the monthly payment from the
estate should not be cut in half. The
petitioners allege that the estate is
worth only $4,000 and the income
therefrom is $500 a month. The debts
are said to amount to $4,000. The
mother and her daughter Cecilia oc-
cupy the home at 1925 Geary street,

One Man With Two RevOl-

of Six Dollars at Hayes
Street Entrance to Park
HIGHWAYMAN BLACKS
FACE AS A DISGUISE
.MOtOrman Keeps His Hands
in the Air While He Sur
veys the RObber and Gets
Good Description of Him

A small man with two large revolvers
held up car 210 of the Hayes street line
at $40 o'clock last night near the park
and secured about $6. He was very
nervous, otherwise he would have got
$40 more from Conductor Harry H. st.
Ledger, for the man in charge Of the
car. had that much more money on his
person.
Several times during the evening con-
ductors and motormen noticed figure
skulking along the wall at the Hayes
street entrance to the park, but in each
instance there were passengers on
board the cars and the robber retreated.
When car 210, in charge Of Conductor
H. st. Ledger and Motorman George E.
Holiday arrived at the terminus no
passengers were aboard. st. Ledger
was sitting inside the car ready TO eat
his lunch, while Holiday sat on the
opposite side of the car waiting for the
time to return to the city.
ROBBER APPEARS.
Suddenly the rear platform was
Jared by the weight of a man and the
Startling cry rang out, Throw up your
hands"
Conductors of street cars are accus-
toned to reaching up, but st. Ledger
reached higher than he ever did be-
fore. SusDecting that some trick was
being played on him, st. Ledger started
TO joke the intruder, but the language
which met his attempt at hilarity was
such that he grasped the atmosphere
higher than before. His reason for do
ing that was the display of two MUIR
derous looking revolvers in the hands
of the man who was giving the orders.
All st. Ledger could see was the min
iature cannon close to his vest buttons.
His hearing was not impaired. He dis
tinctly heard the man behind the gun
say dig up." He dug. Reaching into
his side pocket St. Ledger pulled loose
change TO the amount of S6 and slid it
along the seat of the car. The man be-
hind the guns was very anxious to get
away for he failed to take all the
money the conductor placed at his dis
posal.
MOTORMAN WATCHES.
Holiday. the motorman, took in the
whole situation. The busy individual
was not paying much attention to him.
Holidays hands were as near the roof
as they could get. He realized that the
thug was nervous, and the motorman
did not want to be a cause for a pull
Of the trigger. AS soon as the money
was passed out the man and his re-
volvers backed through the rear door
and disappeared into the park.
Both the street car men say that the
highwayman was small, had his face
blackened, wore a handkerchief over
the lower portion of his features and
had on a dark suit and a derby hat
They admit that the two revoIVers
seemed to be larger than the man and
that as they gazed along the muZzles
death seemed to. be gaping from their
openings.
AS quickly as the grip could be picked
up the car was headed cityward and
the police were warned. Holidays de-
scription of the robber has caused the
police TO believe that the thug is a
novice. They at once began a search
of the park, but up to a late hour the
footpad had not been found.

The Star has received many express
sions of satisfaction and approval at it's
publication, now in progress, of the
diplomatic correspondence which pass
ed between Japan and Russia preced-
ing the war. To anyone who would
know precisely what the issues of this
war are, this correspondence is essen
tial. 1t is interesting as showing that
Japan had a clearly defined idea of
what she considered essential to her in
tegrity and independence, and was
frank to avow it; that what she asked
was clearly within her rights, and in a
large and just sense was clearly her
duty. Russia on the other hand was
evasive, procrastinating insincere.
Continually asserting her desire for
Cancellation and a settlement of what
might be cause Of friction, she made 1t
very clear to all who will read that her
ambitions stopped at the rights of nei-
Their China, Korea nor Japan; that she
desired neither Cancellation nor a set
Element that would in the slightest
bound her ambition. The correspond
ence is we'll worth reading.
