ROBBERS BEAT
THEIR VICTIMS

Two men last night held up the sa-
loon of James Hood, an aged man, at
the corner of Twenty-fourth and Noe
streets. The thieves beat the
proprietor and customer into
Inconsistencies when resistance to
the robbery was offered. One of
the robbers, who gave the name of
Edward Welsh and said he was a
painter living at 921 Alvarado street,
was arrested later and booked at the
Mission station on a charge of rob-
berry.
About S:45 p. m. George Davorlen
of AL Elizabeth street went to the
rear of Hoods saloon. He saw Welsh
and his confederate attempting to roll
away barrel of whisky. When he
asked what they were doing the
! thieves set upon him and dealt him a
succession of blows on the head and
face, cutting his scalp in three places.
Proprietor Hood heard the scuffie and
rushed to the rear of his establish
ment to ascertain the trouble. Welsh
seized q large cigar cutter and felled
| Hood with one blow. While the pro-
prietor and customer lay unconscious
| the robbers went through the till, took
| 81, all it contained, and made their
escape.
| When Hood recovered conscious
ness he telephoned for the polAe. De-
| tective Graham and Policemen Cole
man and Harrison arrested Welsh at
Twenty-fifth and Harrison streets.
Hood identified him as one of his as
sailants.
Davorlen was removed to the City
and County Hospital, where it was
found that he had several ugly lac
erations of the scalp and a possible
| fractured skull. Hood was prostrat-
ed by the blows he received and will
be confined to his bed for several
| days.
Welshs confederate, who escaped,
is described as being about "a years
Of age. He wears a slouch hat and
light overcoat. Hood and Davorlen
say they can identify him if he is cap
tured. The police are still looking
| for him.
At late hour last night Harry
! Craig of Twenty-sixth and Castro
streets was arrested by Policeman Col
| burn and Detective Graham on the
belief that he was Welsh's confederate.
He has bad police record. The po-
| lice had to break into his room to
capture him. He was identified by
| George Davorlen as one of the men
who assaulted him and Hood. Craig
| was booked at the Mission station on
| a charge of robbery.

REES ESCAPES
FROM BELMONT

Howell Caradoc Rees, the New York
clubman, whose recent eccentric ac-
tions at the Palace and st. Francis
hotels eliminating in his threats to
kill friend named Gignoux, his arrest
and final sequestration in private
sanitarium at Belmont, made a recent
sensation, escaped from that fnstitu-
ton last night and walked back to the
city.
Late last evening, hungry and foot
sore, and bearing noticeable evidence
of having made long and rough over
land trip, Rees suddenly appeared In
the ST. Francis Hotel bar. There he
procured drink and then returned to
the hotel office, where he told the
clerks that he had only a few hours
before escaped from the Belmont Sani-
tarium.
His eyes were bloodshot, his formerly
full face rather drawn and his clothes
soiled with dust. To the hotel clerk he
said he had walked from Belmont, but
later he referred to an experience on
an electric car, which suggested the
probability Of his having ridden part
Of the way.
II won't take room tonight" re-
marked Rees, for it is too late,' and
turning around he marched out Of the
hotel, whistling loudly. To several
guests of the hotel, who had met him
while he was staying at the st. Fran
els, Rees appeared to be as insane, If
not more so, than when he was ar
rested several weeks ago.
Rees comes from good New York
family and is well educated man,
who has seen much of the world.
During his several weeks stay in
San Francisco he stayed first at the
Palace and then at the st. Francis.
At the latter hostelry he ran up q
large bill and was finally locked out.
His arrest for threatening Gignoux's s
life followed and on January rs he
was turned over to his friends and
placed in the Belmont Sanitafium.. A
week later his brother came from
New York to arrange for his comfort
aid eventual removal to a private
asylum in New York, whittier Rees
was to be taken in a few days.

COSSACK RIDERS
ON DARING RAID
General Rennenkampff's Di-

the Rear of Oyama's Army
ITS LOSS rs THRILLING
One Man Killed and Twelve
Wounded During SiX-Day
Tour of Enemy's Country
ITS LOSS Is THRILLING

MUKDEN, Feb. 2o.-General Rem
nenkampff's division, which moved out
on February IA, has returned from
daring reconnaissance, having sue
ceeded in passing around the Japanese
left flank and penetrating well to the
rear, causing considerable consterna-
ton along the line of japanese COM
munications. The losses were insignifi-
can't. 1t was merely raid, with no
intention TO strike in the direction of
Yinkow.
On the first day the division, which
moved in two columns, drove in the
japanese cavalry and travelled twenty
five miles. stopping for the night in the
village OF Santaitse, nine miles south
west of Siacobeje, on the line with
Liaoyang and the southwark Japanese
positions. Throughout the night Rus
sian videttes were in touch with the
japanese and in the morning they
brought in information that a force
Of infantry was moving northwestward
with a view of cutting off the Rus
slams. while a body of 5000 Chinese
bandits, said to be commanded by a
Chinese Governor, appeared to the
southwark to prevent a movement on
Yinkow, had such been the intention.
At this juncture the commander de-
termined, instead of retiring and
abandoning his purpose of a. reconnais-
sance, to strike eastward, discover the
strength Of the enemy and threaten his
rear. This bold movement was sue
cessful. At noon columns of japanese
cavalry were encountered, but meeting
the fire Of the trans Baikal battery,
the japanese fed, with Cossacks in
pursuit. A battalion Of japanese in
fantry opened fire from a village. The
Russian left, which had changed front,
advanced and forced the Japanese to
abandon the village. Owing to dark
ness and lack of knowledge of the
strength Of the Japanese, further pur-
suit was suspended. The division
passed the night at the village of
Painkfan-
At daybreak Of February Is the di-
vision moved eastward toward the VIII
lage of Oudiagantse, which was en-
trenched and occupied by Japanese
horse artillery. The advance guards
opened fire, concentrating on the
trenches in front of the village. The
distance was not great and the effect
Of bursting shrapnel was easily visible.
The Japanese cavalry suffered severe
ly, Shrapnel bursting in their midst,
stampeding their horses. Detachments
of Russians occupied villages on the
flank and drove back the japanese
The division, having accomplished its
task, retraced its road, meeting no SER
ious resistance. The Russian losses
were one Cossack killed and an en-
sign and eleven men wounded.

The Fame of GiOttO.

In his own day Giotto's fame as a
painter was supreme. He had numer
Gus followers, and these "Giotteschi,"
as they were styled, continued his meth
DDS for nearly a hundred years. But,
like all the great men of the Floren
tine school, he was a master of more
than n craft. Forget that they
were painters" writes Mr.. Berenson,
'they remain great s%culptors; forget
that they were sculptors, and still they
remain architects, poets and even men
of science" The beautiful Campanile,
which stands beside the cathedral In
Florence and represents a perfect union
of strength and elegance, was design
ed by Giotto and partly erected in his
lifetime. Moreover, the sculptured re-
liefs which decorate its lower part
were all from his designs, though he
lived to execute only two of them.
Thus, architect, sculptor, painter, friend
of Dante and of other great men of his
day, Giotto was the worthy forerun-
ner of that brilliant band of artists
which a century later made Florence
forever renowned as the birthplace of
that great revival or "new birth" of
art generally called 1.-The renaissance
Century.

Prussic Acid.

Prussic acid is the essence of bitter
almonds. 1t is also found in the kerr
nels of all species of plums and in
many leaves, especially those of the
peach tree. In it's natural state it is
we'll known as an agreeable favoring
for confectionery, though the poison
III essence taken in a certain quantity,
and that not large, is so deadly as to
destroy life instantly. 1t kills by its
instant action upon the nerves, and it
is given incidentally in small quantities
expressly as a strengthened of them.
Besides being a powerful sedative up
on the nervous system, it renders the
body less susceptible to the influence
of excitants and is consequently cal
culated to modify the effects of wines
and spirits. Plutarch informs us that
the sons of the physician of the En-.
peror Tiberius knew this fact. and,
though most intrepid topers, yet they
kept themselves sober by eating bitter
almonds.

Real Value of College Education

We are apt to overestimate the value
Of an education received from books
alone. A large part of the value of a
college education N from the social
intercourse of the students, the re-en-
forcement, the buttressing Of character,
by association. Their faculties are
sharpened and polished by the attri-
ton of mind with mind and the pitting
of brain against brain, which stimulate
ambition, brighten the ideals and open
up new hopes and possibilities. Book
knowledge is valuable, but the knowl-
edge which comes from mind inter-
course is invaluable.-O. S. Marden in
Success Magazine.
