BOY FOOTPADS
RAID GROCERY
Three Men in Rear of Store
on Geary Street, Near Ma
son, Are Quickly Robbed
MAKE ESCAPE
Proprietor Follows Them fer
Two Blocks, but Loses the
Trail on Arrival of Police

Two young footpads entered the
side door leading to the bar in the
rear of a grocery at Martha place and
Geary street, between Mason and Tay-
lor. at 11:15 o'clock last night and
held up the proprietor and two other
men in the room, taking $50 from the
cash drawer and about $40 from the
victims.
The proprietor of the store is John
Stelling, and according to his state
ment the footpads were boyish loking
and apparently novices at the work.
Stelling and Robert Thurman were
seated at small table in the rear
room, playing cribbage, while r. Car
son stood watching the game.
Suddenly the side door on Martha
place was thrown violently open and
two masked figures stumbled In. Both
were Of slight build and wore hand
kerchief masks and soft hats. One
carried a pair of revolvers and COM
manded the party to throw up their
hands,
The occupants of the room needed
no second invitation and three pairs
of hands went up under the persua-
sion of the revolvers in the hands of
one of the men. The other went to
the cash drawer and through the
pockets OF the tnree men. In MS ndSIS
he overlooked a wallet in Stelling' s
pocket containing $500.
Keeping the men covered, the foot
pads backed out of the door and ran
up Geary street to William, down Will
liam to O'Farrell. where they entered
a building. Stelling followed them,
yelling Justify for the police, and in
response to his calls Policeman M.
Behan appeared. The trail had been
lost, however, and Detective Wren Is
working on the case.

SAYS EVIDENCE
SHOCKS NERVES

On Friday there may be sensation
in Judge Graham's court in the
Vincent case, if the promises of Mrs.
Vincent's attorney. Ferman, are made
good Mrs Vincent is suing her hus-
band, William, for separate mainten-
apce and the hearing was to have gone
ON yesterday noon, but Vincent was
not in court. His attorney. George Av-
erill,. explained that the husband and
father had been so overcome by the
testimony of his wife and daughters,
and by the hints Of their attorney, that
he had succumbed to nervous collapse.
Judge Graham was not satisfied, ana
ordered an attachment to be issued for
Vincent's person. The man appeared at
o'clock, armed with physicians
certificate as excuse for his absence.
1t was apparent that Mr.. Ferman
could have taken judgment for his
client on the proof adduced of the de-
sertion of the husband, as charged in
the complaint but the lawyer was not
content to rest. He told the court
that he wanted an opportunity to pro-
duce all Of the evidence in this ''hor-
rible, extraordinary case" and then he
begged the court to ask the newspaper
men not to use the names he would di-
vulge, because a human life depends
er of the girl who will be accused of be-
ing too friendly with Vincent would be
shocked to death upon hearing the dis
closures. Ferman demanded further
opportunity for cross-examining Vim
cent and asked the court to issue sub
penaes for certain witness if they de-
cline to appear. Among other things,
he intends to prove that Vincent made
arrangements to marry his inamorata
before he asked his wife to permit him
to get a divorce.
Judge Seawell, who has had the case
under submission, yesterday granted
an interlocutory decree of divorce to
Martha E. Braham from Louis Bra
ham, a vaudeville artist. They were
married on September /. Other 6i-
vorces were granted thus: BY Judge
Hebbard to William H. Whelan from
Nina Whelan, who hurled beer bottles
at him: to Catherine Hart from Mich
ael Hart, desertion; by Judge Trout
to Warren A. Lester from Florence E.
Lester, desertion.
Suits for divorce were filed by Nora

sertion; Zada c.. Lee from William ].

The Press and Foot Ball Reform

To the Editor of The Star:
Kindly permit subscriber and reader of
The Star for more than forty years to
thank you most sincerely and emphat-
lcaily for what you have written against
foot ball as the game has been practiced
in this country. For many years I have
done what could to induce clergymen, ed
itors of religious publications and others
to exert their influence to abolish or rem
der less harmful this worse than beastly
game. but with little success. Secular
newspapers would insert what / wrote, but
so-called religious publications refused to
do So l wrote my views to four leading
papers of two non-episcopal denominations,
but all refused insertion. Recently a lead
ing paper published in New York city 10
which I have been subscriber for more
than fifty years has opposed the game
strongly. In number just received 1t
states that sixteen deaths from foot ball
have occurred since October 0, three in
games played last Saturday, and quotes an
eminent surgeon who characterizes the
game OF the Columbia University team as
the most brutal exhibition / have ever
seen or heard of called a sport. Few
ministers have sufficient courage to attack
or condemn any wrongdoing that is pop
ular.
Recent action OF the presidents of some
colleges, and of a few religious and many
secular newspapers, leads me to hope that
/ may live to be informed that the foot
bali game as now conducted has been abol-
'ished. EDWARD YOUNG.

French View of Message.

The Paris Temps in leading article this
evening, discussing President Roosevelt s
message to Congress, says:
THE Monroe doctrine Is given eXtraor-
binary proportions. 1t is no longer con-
fined to forbidding Europe to conquer or
annex South American territory, but is
also extended against the simple seizure
of custom houses, which Is the sole means
of effective reprisal against delinquent
southern republics. President Roosevelt
did not present this objection three years
ago against the triple action of Germany,
Great Britain and Italy against Venezuela.
Why has he chosen the moment when
France may be obliged to adopt measures
Of the same kind against Venezuelan

on the extension Of the Monroe doetrlhe.
