MAIL HOLDUP WAS
FAXED BY DRIVER.
REYNOLDS SIMPLY LET HIS I'M
AGINATION RUN RIOT.
Police Were Suspicious Of His Thrilling
Recital and Put Him on the Grill to
Account for Certain Glaring Discrep-
ancles-He Wilted and Owned Up to
Romancing.

Ray Reynolds didn : stand pat on his
dramatic story regarding Wednesday
evenings hold-up of q United States
mail wagon, under the viaduot at
Eighth avenue s and Washington. The
police put him on the rack and he con-
fessod that it was myth.
Today Reynolds has been deposed
from his heroic pedestal, and is just q
plain driver. lodging the jibes Of his
tion for his vivid imagination.
The police thought the. story didn It
sound right yesterday when it was re-
ported. The hold-up was said to have
taken place under the viaduct at 8
CLOCK. AT that time Sergeant Ran
kin Of the South station was within a
block of the place, but he heard no shot,
altho Reynolds said he fred three times
atsthe bandits. .E-.
Other revelations also began to put a
bad light on the story. The baggage
master at the station said that the lock
was intact, when. the wagon arrived
there, and the driver said that he ban.
dts had knocked it off with a hammer
The lock had been broken at some time
however, SO the police went to. Reynolds
for another explanation, and after some
sharp cross examination he admitted
that his whole story was 8 fake, and
that he had made it up for a joke. He
did not know why he had done it, but
he thought at the time that it would be
great fun. He had broken the lock
himself on the way to the barn.
With his confession the police quit
work and turned him over to the fed
eral officers, who allowed him to drive
his wagon last night. Nothing will
be done as the wagon was empty wher
the lock was broken, and there was NJ
attemp on Reynolds part to rob thu

MANIFESTATION OF SORROW.
Period of Mourning in Sympathy with
that to Be Solen1nized Monday in
Chicago May Be Arranged to Consider

period of mourning for their brethren
slain during the recent massacres in
Russia, to be conducted simultaneously ~
with the demon stration to be held in
Chicago next Monday. The time is very
short, but prominent leaders of the
Jews, among them Joseph Shallet, will
sorrow for the near future. In Chicago
every Jewish factory and store will be
closed at pm. Monday and the thous-
ands Of Jews will go to the synagogues
to pray. -,-
; As for the result the massacres will
have on jewish immigration to the
United States, Mr.. Shallet declares that
no prediction is possible at present. The
various American Jewish societies al
ready have sent over 100000 to their
Russian brethren and the agents in
Odessa and other seats Of massacres are
hurrying the Jews to temporary refuge
in Palestine. 1t is thought to be too
late to attempt to take them further,
but owing to the danger of a recurrence
of riots it is deemed necessary that they
be taken from Russia immediately.
At the annual convention of the
knights Of Zion, the local chapter of
which Mr.. Shallet is president, the sub
iect will be thoroly discussed. The con-
vention will be held early next month.
Other societies will act at their first
conventions, but not until all have con-
sidered the subject carefully will de-
cision as to the best permanent abiding
place of the refugees be made.
Private letters received by Mr.. Shallet
from agents Of the society with which
he is connected show that the news
paper reports of the massacres have not
been overdrawn; rather, their censored
estimates of the dead have been far too
small An illustration Of the injustice
Of the Russian government toward the
Jew was contained in a plea just re-
ccived that man who made himself a
hero during the seige Of Port Arthur be
brought to the home Of his relatives in
North Dakota, out Of danger Of the fate
that threatens him in Russia. This
soldier, in the fight at Port Arthur
saved 1000 men from apparently certain
death in Japanese trap. He was
wounded in the engagement and a st
Joseph's medal pinned on his breast
while he lay in a hospital. Later he
discovered and reported plot to slay
a score of officers and received another
medal. He was promised a reward from
the czar upon his return to Russia. Ar
rived in Moscow, however, he received
an official order to leave the city il
twenty-four hours. This hero is now {

Condemnation Commissioners Appraist
Trainor Brothers. Pleasant Street
PrOperty

Trainor Brothers will receive $4,000
from the park board for their stone
quarry near the foot Of Pleasant street
Sc. It is not believed that the amount
awarded will be acceptable. At the
meeting Of the condemnation commits
sioners today the evidence was that the
quarry was reasonably worth from
$4,000 to $4,000. The owners were much
disgusted and declared that they had
paid that much In park assessments on
the land. This was not strictly true, but
the records showed that their park taxes
had exceeded $1,000. Nevertheless the
commissioners taking everything into
consideration could not conscientiously
award more than $4,000.
