Hstchet in Hand, He Operates on the
Cash Register and Mages Es-
cape When PatroIman At

With a hatchet in his hand a barefoot
burglar was seen by Patrolman Joseph
Murray rifing the cash register Of the
store of A. b. Lettunich, a commission
merchant, at 6t7 East Third street, last
night, but before the officer could enter
the store building the boy ran out the
back way, taking with him some money
in small change.
Patrolman Murray passed the store
building at 10 o'clock last night and
saw the burglar, who appeared to be a
boy. using a hatchet on the cash regis
ter Finding the front door locked, the
patrolman went around to the rear en-
trance. where he expected to catch the
boy in the act.
The barefoot burglar, however, prob
ably saw the officer and as the pa

burglar jumped from behind a door and
ran toward the cars on the siding at

The officer followed for several hun

clothes.
The police do not connect this burglar
with any particular theft in that Sec

that the boy is the same marauder who
operated in the University section.

Foreigners Warned to
Leave Republic by
September 16
Strike or Revolution
Said to Be Hatched
in Large Cities
Anti-American Circulars Being Dis
tributed-Governme Processes
Not to Fear Any Serious
Trouble at Present
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LAREDO, Texas, July 20.-For some
time past rumors have been rife in all
the large cities of Mexico which may
portend anything from a great strike
of the laboring element to a revolution
against the administration of Presi-
dent Diaz.
Opinion is divided as to what the re-
suit will be, but enough credence is
placed in the rumors to cause much
uneasiness and steps will be taken to
meet any contingency which may
arise.
Circulars have been posted in Mon
terey, San Luis Potosi and other large
cities throughout the republic, warning
all foreigners to leave the country be-
fore the 18th of September. the inde-
pendence day of the republic.
The circular says in substance:
1--WE desire Mexico for the Mexicans
and warn all of the foreigners that if
they do not leave the country by the
18th of September they will be driven
into the sea-"
Continuing the circular says:
THE principal industries and busi-
ness of the republic are in the hands
of foreigners, principally Americans.
THE railroads. although they appar-
emily belong to the nation, are the ex-
elusive property of Americans; the
Americans direct them.
The mining industry is largely con-
trolled by the foreign element and our
nation, heretofore Independent, is be-
ing made the servant of foreign cap
ital.
I'VE are on the border of an abyss,
and great catastrophe menaces us all
unless we force all foreigners out of
the country and give our own people
a chance"
The Mexican government does not
fear any serious trouble, notwithstand-
ing the posting of these circulars.

FIAsco SHAKES THEIR PRESTIGE
Constitutional Party Sick of Playing
With Edged Tools

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2O.-No fur
ther action regarding the proposed ad-
dress to the people was taken by the
lower house of parliament today The
constitutional Democratic members ap-
peared to be heartily sick of the whole
episode and anxious to drop the subject
if the government is so minded, and
there is a disposition to shelve the ad-
dress by indefinite postponement of the
question as to the manner of its publ
cation.
Prof. Milukoff and other leaders OF
the constitutional Democratic party to.
day carefully pointed out that the docu-
ment is not technically an appeal di-
rected specifically to the people, but
might be considered as an "explana-
ton" addressed to nobody in particu-
lar and from this standpoint harmless.
There is no question but that the
tasco has enormously shaken the pres
tige/ of the constitutional Democrats
and the leaders of that party are crest
fallen over having been induced to play
with such edged tools.
Prof. Milukoff, M. Struve and others
admitted frankly today that one effect
will be to postpone to the dim future
the advent of a constitutional Demo-
cratic ministry as the vote on the adop-
ton of the address showed that the
party was actually in the minority in
the house and too weak to control the
situation when faced by the combined
opposition of the right and left to any
measure.
Prof. Milukoff told the Associated
Press tonight that he believed there
was no longer any reason to appre-
hend the dissolution of parliament as
the government would rather seek to
profit by it's dissensions. The Peterhof
circles are reported to be jubilant over
the discontinue Of the constitutional
Democrats.

AUTO|STS LEAP
FROM WINDOWS
ROAD HOUSE RAlDED AND THE
VISITORS FLEE
Officers Descend Upon Notorious Re-
sort on Pasadena Short Line,
Arrest Proprietor and Con-
fiscate Liquor

Charley Smiths road house, known as
the Suburban'home, located on the Pas
adena short line. just outside the city
limits, was raided last night.
Leaping through windows and rush
ing out the back door, about a dozen
men and women. constituting several
automobile parties. escaped from what
they feared would be an arrest and con-
sequent appearance in police court.
No effort was made by the raiders to
capture any of the fleeing and thor
oughly frightened visitors, but the Of
ficers made certain that Smith did not
escape. The arrest was made without
trouble and this morning the proprietor
of the place, which has been the cause
come into the city in charge of deputies
and accompanied by truck load of
liquors found in the resort.
Smith will be arraigned before JUS
tice Young at O'Clock this morning.
The raid was planned by Constable
j. II. Delamonte and the officer was ac-
companied by Edward j. Fleming, as
sistant district attorney, and half a
uOLen QtDulleS. IGSc utpullCS WClc
stationed about the building and Con-
stable Delamonte entered the place.
His appearance caused the widest kind
of a scramble among the visitors, and
in their haste to get away from the
scene men and women fairly tumbled
INTO waiting machines, regardless of
proprietorship and made record runs
back to town.
After the arrest of Smith, Constable
Delamonte searched the place. He
found in a back room a bar which, he
declares was as well stocked as any
saloon in Los Angeles and in the cellar
he discovered stored a large quantity
of wines and liquors.
Knowing that Smith could not on ac-
count of the lateness of the hour pro-
cure bail, the constable permitted him
to remain at the resort in charge of two
deputies, who were left to guard the
seized liquor. Smith and the confiscated
goods will be brought into town this
morning.
Smiths license was revoked about six
months ago. but it is alleged that for
some time past he has been operating
his resort in a wide-open manner.

PANAMA BONDS
OVER SUBSCRIBED
SECRETARY SHAW is PLEASED
WITH RESULTS
Best Single Offer for Thirty Million
Dollar Issue Was by New York.
ers-Awards Will Not Be
Made Till Today
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON July 20.-Bids were
opened at the treasury department late
today for the $30,O00000 ten thirtyyear
Panama canal bonds under Secretary
Shaw's circular of July 2 and although
no awards will be made until tomorrow
or later, it is evident that the entire
issue has been subscribed for an aver
age of from 1884 to 1896.
Secretary Shaw and other officials of
the treasury department expressed
themselves highly pleased and entirely
satisfied with the figures obtained.
The total number and amounts of
bids made will not be ascertained until
tomorrow. but it is appaent that the
whole issue has been subscribed several
times over.
The largest and best single offer was
that of Fisk G. Robinson of New York,
who made SIX bids of $5,000,0O0 EACH at
ar average of 1885. Smaller bids at
higher prices, however, will probably
reduce the amount which will likely
be awarded to them 10 about $4,000,
900.
One bid of LOG for the Whole issue
came from a man named Lindsay at
New Orleans, but on account of con-
ditionS named and for other reasons
the bid was not considered.
Several telegraphic bids were received
too late to be consider 1, but the prices
named We're zoo small to be successful.
The secretary ha"ing stated that the
bonds would be numbered serially be-
ginning with the highest bid, one offer
was made at 1875 for $1,000, thus secur-
ing to the bidder bond No. 1. An exam
nation of tn best bids showed that
offers of 1O4 1-16 and up aggregatde
15,349. $50; 104 to 104 1-16 aggregated
81 100. $50; 1O3.75 to 104 aggregated $14,-
III 900.
A bid of 10465 is the lowest at which
any of the bonds can be awarded.

district court for a receiver for the
