BERLIN, Oct. Is.-Althoush the man who.
in the disguise of an army officer, held up
and robbed the Mayor and municipal au-
tbOrities OF Koepenick has not been arrested.
IL is said that he has been identified as
Adolphus Miner, an American citizen, and
son Of a German emigrant to the United
States.
He has run a lively criminal career, al
though he once worked honestly "a a bar
hers assistant at Frankfurt. firing there
he journeyed to Bavaria, where he posed
"a an, ofHAial auditor empowered to revise
the accounts of tho local officials. BY this
means he managed to appropriate various
sums of money.
After a series OF clever and successful
swindles he was caught and sentenced to
ten years Imprisonment. He was lately
released and ~Teappeared in Frankfurt,
whence he suddenly vanished. II is de-
clared hat his arrest is impending.
Meanwhile the public are indulging in
merriment at the expense OF his latest vic
Tins. Street ha wker are thriving on the
proceeds Of their sales of picture postcards
illustrating the robbery and poking fun
at the Mayor and municipal authorities.
A humorous brochure ridiculing the munic-
ipal authorities, the army and the police.
is selling like hot cakes for half a mark.
The music halls are echoing with ~satirical
songs. The Metropole Theatre has staged
a farcical piece, in which a squad of the
finest troops of the army obey unhesitat-
ingly the ridiculous orders Of an unknown
captain.
The Kaiser il intensely interested in the
search for the criminal. II is asserted
that he has given hints to the police re-
garding the pursuit. 1t is reported that his
Majesty said to a member Of his suite that
a man who could carry out such a coup in
time Of peace would be worth a whole army
corps in time Of war.

100 Ute Indians which left the Ute reserva-
,tion in Idaho and Utah several months ago

with cowboys near the Ksylin Ranch. not
far from Gillette. Wyo.. and two Of the
whites were killed. A number Of the { ties
are supposed to have been wounded.
The Indians are practically destitute
and ara killing stock for food, Cowboys
and ranchers only leave the towns when
in large parties. and unless the Federal
troops arrive very soon a bloody clash is
likely to occur at any time.
This information reached Omaha to =
night in private dispatches. The 100 In
dams are divided into three great bands
aud their camps extend for many miles
over western Wyoming. Last nights clash
was when the cowboys attempted to pre-
vent a band OF the Utes from killing cattle
Of which they had charge. The Utes cap
tured the herd, killed seven steers and
returned to their camps with the meat.

PRESIDENTS VIEWS OF HEARST
MAYBE HE'LL WRITE A LETTER
ATTACKING HEARST.
Anyway. II IrrItstes Him 10 Think That
Some Folks Seem TO Regard His Radi-
caIism and Hesrsts as n same Kind
lit Regards Hearst as q DemagOgue.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-There was talk
here to-day that President Roosevelt might
write a letter to Charles r. Hughes, Re
publican candidate for Governor Of New
York, in which the President would have
some things to say about William r. Hearst
and hat III stands for. No Information on
the subject could be had at tbeWhite House.
where. by way Of answer, the suggestion
was made with a smile that it was hardly
necessary for the President to speak his
mind about Mr.. Hearst. as everybody knew
what he thought Of Mr.. Hughes's opponent.
The care with which Mr.. Hearst has
avoided any attack on the President has
not passed unnoticed at the White House.
Some of those who are close to MI. Roose-
welt believe that by this course Nh. Hearst
is seeking to create the impression that he
and Mr.. Roosevelt stand for the same poll
cies, and there is considerable irritation
over that thought. The idea that President
Roosevelt indorses the preachings Of Hearst,
or that their reform programmes are viz
tually the same, is extremely d~istafteful
to those who stand close to the President
and know his views on Hearst and Hearst
ism.
Whether it will be regarded as advisable
for the President 70 write a letter TO Mr..
Hughes or anybody else repudlating what
Hearst stands for and defining how widely
apart are their views IN the subject OF
reform cannot at this time be stated with
any certainty, but it can be said with marked
emphasis that the President will not for a
momen tolerate any open attempt to
make the people OF New York believe that
Hearst and Roosevelt stand upon common
ground.
The President, it Ia understood, maintains
that certain policies which he has advo-
Gated are made necessary to counterfeit
dangerous doctrines preached by Mr..
Hearst. Although regarded as a radical
and not denying it, Mr.. Roosevelt is repre-
sented as insisting that the attempt on
Mr.. Hearst's part to engender class hatred
has forced him (the Presidency to suggest
means OF putting a stop TO the danger that
lies in the propaganda OF Mr.. Hearst and
his lieutenants. The President regards his
policies OF governmental and corporate
reform as the antidote for the policies Of
Hearst. In some OF his recent speeches
Mr.. Roosevelt has condemned those who
sought to incite the poor against the rich,
and this, he believes, Mr.. Hearst Is endeavor-
ing 10 do for the purpose Of furthering bis
own political ends.
II is violating no confidence to say that
President Roosevelt feels that the election
OF Mr.. Hearst as Governor Of New York
would be a calamity. and that he regards
Mr.. Hearst az a dangerous man, whose
theories tend to a social revolution that
would work great harm to the nation and all
classes of its citizens.

Episcopal Authority sanctions OIL Anotnts
n,Pnt with Medical Treatment.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 1s.-The LiUing Church,
the official organ Of the Episcopal Church
in America, has in its issue Of to-day formally
declared in favor of war on Christian Science,
by the uae Of similar methods Of healing,
the amounting with oil.
This, it ~ believed, will he an effective
remedy in many cases for the loss of sup
port which the Episcopal Church has suS-
tanned In common with other denomina-
lions whose members have been won away
by the creed Of Mrs. Eddy.
The Living Church says that the ancient
JUNCTION ceremony has never been formally
discontinued or abolished and that n
rector is at liberty to take up the practice
at once.
The argument in favor Of Science treat
ment in this form with church authorize
ton Is found in the desire Of the sick for a
combined religious and medical treatment.
This, it is believed, is where Mrs. Eddy's
treatment has it's great strength,
The ceremony OF JUNCTION, therefore, is
urged as o proper method Of preventing the
conversion Of Episoopalians to the Science
faith.
The LiriRg Church in the same issue has
many letters from rectors in all parts Of the
country, which approve the proposition,
which was first advanced at a meeting Of the
Los Angeles diocese, though it escaped
general attention.
