ROBBERY
TWO NEGROES BEAT DIES MONIES
MAN INTO lNsENsIHlLlTY AND
SECURE 5000.

Des Moines, Aug 4.--Over 5000 was
the haul made by two Negro holdup
men in a daylight robbery late yester-
day afternoon of an Office in the heart
or the business district, on Locust
street, which was the boldest affair of
its kind which has been perpetrated
in Des Moines in years..
S. T. Roberts was the victim Of the
thugs. They entered the Office of the
Des Moines Building company at 800
Locust street late In the afternoon
when many people were on the street,
struck him over the head with a heavy
club, and made away with $415 in
cash and over $500 worth of checks,
on which Mr.. Roberts had been work
ing.
Roberts was knocked insensible by
the blow, and before he had recov-
cred the men had made their escape,
walking calmly from the Office and
disappearing among the crowd on the
street. Roberts was severely injured
by the blow, his head being cut and
his body badly bruised, but he will
recover.
He was found by a customer who
came into the Office He was unable
to give an exact description of the
men, but stated that he could positive
ly identify them. AS yet they have
not been apprehended, although a
large force of detectives and police
are working on the case.

TO DOCTORS IN MARINE
SERVICE.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 4.-There
is evidence here of extensive frauds in
the passage Of the American medical
examination by Chinese desiring to
enter the United States At first it
was thought that the public health

guilty of selling fraudulent medical
certificates to the celestials and
charges to that effect have been in
vestigated by Assistant Surgeon White
of the marine hospital service, who is
stationed at Hong Kong, by order of
Surgeon General Wyman of the SER
vice. Whites report is now here, but
General Wyman and other officials
concerned refuse to discuss it.
1t was stated that the recent trip Of
John F. Wilkie chief Of the secret
service, to the orient was for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the matter

NOT A PATRON
Depew is Said to Hold no Equitable lnsur-

ance Policy.

New York, Aug. A man in the
Equitable Life Assurance society, who
is In a position to speak definitely,
says that Senator Chauncey M. De-
pew is not carrying penny's worth
OIL life insurance in the Equitable.
Senator Depew is down in a little
book called Prominent Patrons Of
Life Insurance" issued annually by an
insurance publication in this city as
carrying policies aggregating $780,
900, and he has been regarded in life
insurance circles generally as .eavy
policy holder.
The figures stated in the booklet ap-
parently were gathered with a good
deal of care. According to the an

were sent each man whose name is
in the book, asking for verification,
and lists also were sent different in

PEOPLE OF PATTERSON, N. j.,
SHOCKED BY MAYORS AL
LEGGED DUPLIcITY.
He HAS DISAPPEARED
Though He Never Drank Nor Smoked,
People Call Him Fraud and a
Forser-Even Newspapers Give Up
His Defense and Tell Of His 100000
Shortage.

New York. Aug. 4.-The where
abouts OF William H. Belcher, Pater-
sons reform mayor, whose alleged
frauds may aggregate 100000, is still
IN the dark, but his deeds are coming
to light. He disappeared several days
ago and 1t was thought that he had
been murdered or kidnapped.
With the revelations there Is a
change in sentiment. People still re-
count the fact that he never smoked
or drank, and seemed their foremost
exponent of the upright life, but at
the same time refer to him as q forger
and confidence man. Even the Pater-
son papers, which at first refused to
print the story of the mayors pecula-
tions, now tell the worst. 'Stole right
and left" was the heading one of
them put on the mayors doings.
New Forgery ls Revealed.
The principal cause Of the change in
sentiment was the appearance in the
county clerks office yesterday of Mr.
and Mrs. Alphonse Maneve with a
mortgage purporting to convey to them
property in Passaic. George S. Borden
was the titular giver of the mortgage,
his acknowledgement being taken by
Mayor Belcher. 1t was stamped
as received in the county
clerks office. in September, 1901,
and bore County Clerk slater's
signature to the statement on
the face that 1t had been recorded In
book M 8, page 479 After at a glance
at 1t County Clerk Slater said.
II am sorry for you. No such mort
gage has been recorded. You are de-
ceived sham efully.i..
Search of the records showed that
the property described In the mort
gage was not owned by the reputed
mortgagor, and that the name had
been forged. Maneve, the reputed
mortgage, is harness maker. In
the early years of their married life
his wife took in washing to supple
ment his earnings, and they put $40 a
month in the Manchester Building and
Loan association, of which Mayor Bel
cher is president. In eleven years
their stock matured, and they re-
ceived $4,000. Maneve left the money
with Belcher, telling him to invest 1t
for them at 5 per cent, first mortgage.
False Entries In Abstract.
In few days, according to Maneve,
Belcher took him to see some prop
erty and told him that the owner
wanted to borrow $4,000. Maneve did
not inspect 1t closely. He saw at a
glance it was worth the amount and
told Belcher to close the deal. A few
days later Belcher gave him mort
gage and abstract of title. Maneve
had the abstract with him. 1t con-
tains false entries.
Maneve turned pale as the extent
of the imposition upon him was dis
closed, and his wife sobbed softly as
they left the Office. A clerk in Belch-
er's Office lost $4,000 in similar way

CONFERENCE AIMS.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 4.-Presi-

coming reciprocity conference in Chi
cago is exciting much discussion in
Washington. 1t is asserted that the
President is not only Indifferent to 1t,
but hostile. The Washington Star in
a long article on this subject says:
There is no question that up to
this time distinct spirit of indiffer-
ence has been manifested by the ad-
ministration towards the conference.
Indeed. it is claimed by some of the
movers in behalf Of the conference
that SO studied has been this indiffer-
ence as to amount to hostility. AS
the conference was summoned in a
nonpartisan spirit, SO its movers
claim, they resent the administra-
tion's aloffness."
