WILL NOT INTERFERE,
Uncle Sam Will Wait and Watch Af-
fairs in San DOMINGO,

Washington. Dec. 26.-For the present
there will not be any interference by tht
United States in the difficulty which has
arisen in San Domingo. The trouble is
regarded by the state department officials
as entirely an internal one and so long
as outside interests are not menaccd this
attitude of non-intervention will be main
tanned. If, however, conditions should
change materially and lawless acts should
be committed against Americans and
American interests and involving the col
lection of the Dominican customs by this
government. or other acts of violence oc-
cur which in the opinion of the officials
here would make it proper for this gov
ernment to interfere, this step will be
taken and measures adopted to quell the
trouble. This decision was reached by the
state department officials during the day
and was confirmed at n conference at the
White House late this afternoon in which
the President and Secretaries Root, Taft
and Bonaparte participated. The cabinet
officers remained at the White House I'M
til nearly G O'Clock. The gathering how
ever, was not called specifically for the
purpose of discussing matters bearing on
the developments in San Domingo, but
to talk over u number of questions which
the President was anxious to dispose of
an outing of several days i'm Virginia.

In an Attempt to Hold
Up a Street Gar.
Six Armed Men We're R0bbing
Terror Stricken Passengers
When Chicago Police Appear on Scene...
All Finally Rounded Up.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-Holding up a
crowded Ashland avenue electric car at
66th street last night, six armed men
fired a score of shots through the VIM
dows and roof and We're engaged in rob-
bing the passengers, including several
women and children, when the trolley
pole was removed from the wire by the
conductor and the bandits were left
struggling in the darkness.
After a battle in which the invaders
We're pitted against the men passen-
gers and the car crew and in which
several persons were trampled upon in
the frantic rush that was made for the
exits, a wagon load of policemen ar
rived and five of the robbers were cap
tured.
The prisoners gave the names Of Ed
wards Lenahan, Edward Higgins, c.
Murphy, William Starr and Michael
Houlhan. They We're all severely
bruised and scratched. Two men board
ed the car at 36th street. They leaped to
the front platform and, holding revol-
vers at the head of the motorman,
James Callahan. they forced him to
stop the car. Four accomplices then got
OH the rear platform and. while one
OF them covered James Link. the con-
ductor, with his weapon, three men en-
tered the car.
Everybody hold up your hands. We
wait your money and will shoot the
first man who tries to stop u.s." said
the leader of the band.
Evidently hoping to thoroughly
frightCn their intended victims before
risking the wholesale robbery, the trio
fired repeatedly through the windows
and the roof. Several women tainted
and children cried in terror. When the
uproar and confusion were at their
height the conductor, striking away the
arm of the man who threatened his
life, pulled the trolley rope and the
interior of the car instantly was
plunged in darkness.
Callahan, the motorman, gave bat
tie - the two men on the front plat
form. He struck one of the robbers a
blow in the face, staggering him. He
followed up his advantage by lifting the
controller handled and bringing it down
upon the bandits head. The injured
man fell to the street but arose and
fed. His companion went into the car
to the aid of the three men who were
engaged in a hand-tO-hand fight.
A passenger who escaped from the
car informed the police who came in
q patrol wagon, entered the car and
drove the robbers from it at the points
of their revolvers. The bandits eX-
changed shots with the policemen, but
We're overpowered.

FRANCE AND THE CHURCH..
French Translation of Vatican White
Book Explains Recent Trouble.

Paris, Dec. GA French translation
of Vatican white book regarding the
separation of church and state reached
Paris tonight. The book disclaims any
intention of replying to those whom it
calls the GetractOrs of the church and
expresses the desire not to offend any
one, saying that it's chief objects are to
enlighten public opinion regarding the
facts and to prevent the handing down
of mis-statements connected with the
history of such an important event.
In the leading chapters an effort is
made to demonstrate that the entire
onus for the rupture between the Vati-
can and the French government and
the resultant separation of church and
state rests with various French cabi-
nets. the members of which pursued an
anti-relisious policy, including the
suppression of the congregations and Of
religious instruction in the schools.
The book next proceeds with the re-
futation of the accusation that separa-
tion was rendered inevitable by the at
tituGe of the church. 1t declares that
this charge was made because French
Statesmen. knowing that the people of
France had no desires for separation,
wished to disclaim responsibility for
the consequences which it is pointed
out would be equally serious for France
and for the church.
Then follow arguments showing the
baselessness of the charges brought
against the church of acting con-
trary to the interests of the repub-
lie. The question of the nominations of
bishops is discussed at length.
The appendix deals in the main with
the French protectorate over Catholics
in the Far East and the argument is
advanced that. although this protecto-
rate is founded on International treaties
it must depend on the will of the Vat
lean.

Charles |. Rand Attempts
Suicide in WateVi||e
By Taking Strychnine-- ---Despon-
dency Said to Have Been Cause.
Deed Was Carefully PIanned--- Doctors Now
Striving to Save His Life.

Charles L. Rand, an emplOye of the NJ.
c. r. L. car shops in this city, attempt
ed suicide, Tuesday night, at his room
swallowing almost the entire contents
of an 8-ounce bottle of strychnine. The
cause of his rash deed is said to have
been due to the fact that he had been
drinking considerably for the past three
days and had become Respondent.
When in his right mind and DISPOSE
ton, Mr.. Rand had been known as a
kind-hearted father and an honest
workman. A brother, Frank Rand,

and Stanley, s ard years old respec-
lively, survive. The children are AT
the present time in Troy.
Although the act is known to have
been carefully planned, Mr.. Rand was
not person Of morose disposition, but
rather of the contrary. That he had
come to 4 deliberate decision. however,
to take his own life is shown by the
fact that two hours before the deed had
been accomplished. he had been around
saying good bye to a number of his
friends. saying that he was about to
leave them. and was seemingly anxious
to see his brother, whom he was un-
successful Iii finding.
AT about ) o'clock. he entered the res
taurant of George S. Dolloff on Main
street, evidently with the latter aim in
view. He found the brother missing,
but dropped a few ominous words with

which caused the latter to become
alarmed. and to proceed at once to no.

the man had already cluded his pursu-

no one about who knew enough of the

making a search.
At about o'clock, Mr.. Rand entered
the smoking room of the house and in
a rather sprightly manner indicated his
intentions by going around the room.

north coast and west OF Puerto Plata

Advocate Light Branch Roads.

The resolutions adopted by the In
ternational Railway Congress at Wash
ington commend light railways. or
branch roads, to the careful attention
Of public authorities. The report says:
Their construction makes it possi-
BILE to encourage the progress and de-
velopment of districts which have pre-
viously remained in the background.
and 1t Is accordingly not only the in
tent but the duty of the governments
to assist them. 1t is desirable. there
FORE not to adhere to old types and
old methods of construction. operation
and regulation, but to introduce every
facility possible, adaptable to local
needs and available resources.
ut Is also desirable that state gov
ernment and local authorities should
accord to light railways. either under
the form Of subsidies. relaxation of re-
Quirements or other methods OF assist
ance, the support which they need for
construction and for operation, so that
all parts Of the country be adequately
served"
The congress expressed the wish
shat the present tendency OF legisla-
ton to establish more liberal regula-
tions may become more general and
efforts of the management to equip
their light traffic lines with more
economical organization. which prom
ise to give remarkable results, be con-
tinued."

sons were killed in the heavy storm
which prevailed in many parts of Col
orado yesterday. The electrical dis
turbances were the most severe of any
