SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-James
Wells, contractor living in a tent on
Guerrero street, was robbed of $4,000 in
currency just drawn from the bank by
two daring pickpockets on a street car
today. One of the thieves who gave
the name of Philip Haver was captured
after a chase.
The money was found in his possess
sion.
When the banks opened this morning
Wells Withdrew his deposit Intending
to send the amount east. he went to
the mint to change his roll of bills into
larger denominations for mailing He
placed the money in his outside coat
pocket, and upon boarding a car at
Mission and Fourth streets was jostled
by two men. One of these crowded
Wells in such way that he could not
lift his hands, while the other man
deftly removed the $4,000. The victim
gave an alarm as soon as the pick
pockets jumped from the car and pur-
sued the man who had taken the money
Policeman Rogers took up the chase
and after several blocks had been COW
cred the fleeing thief ran into the arms
Of two police officers. He claimed to
have found the money in the ruins.
Haver is 21 years Of age and a stranger
to the police, who believe that he is
from the east.

CLAIM MONEY is PLENTIFUL
San Francisco Banks Open Doors to
Larger Dopositors Than
Ever Before
By Associated Press.

Dy ASsOcldteu FreSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-At 10
o'clock this morning practically every
bank in this city that has been able
to secure temporary quarters threw
open its doors to the public.
A unique feature connected with this
general resumption of business after
the suspension caused by the recent
great catastrophe was the fact that
never in the history of San Francisco
was there so much bank money on
hand. For the past week money has
been pouring into the various financial
institutions from all parts of the
world.
Superintendent Leech of the mint has
received large transfers from eastern
and European centers and still the
money is coming. What the total is to
date is not known, but some time ago
it exceeded $4,000, 900. The last trans
fers consisted for the greater part of
large sums for the savings banks.
When their doors opened this morn
ing they by no means had to depend
upon the money received from outside
sources. Great savings institutions like
the Hibernia, the Humboldt and the
Mutual had millions i'm coin and val
uable securities in their vaults which
were undisturbed by the fire.

IMMIGRATION BILL PASSES
Measure Consists of Series of Amend.
ments to Existing Law

HSHIS 10 ENStil9 Law
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-In addition
to passing a half dozen bills to which
no objection was made, the senate de-
voted its entire session today to the inn
migration bill, which was passed just
before the hour of adjournment.
The major portion of the discussion
was devoted to the provision for sup
plying information concerning the diff
ferent sections of the country to receive
immigrants.
The bill consisted of series of
amendments to the existing law, eleven
of them intended to permit stricter
regulations for keeping out the defec-
tive classes of aliens. The head tax is
increased from 50 to SIS.
An amendment requiring an educa-
tional test for immigrants and also re-
quiring that no immigrant carrying
less than $25 should be admitted was
presented by Senator Simmons, who
spoke in support of it.
Senator Lodge offered a substitute
for Mr.. Simmons amendment, confining
the test to an educational requirement
and providing that no alien more than
16 years old who cannot read in some
language shall be admitted except
members of the families of male adults
now residing in the United States.
= Mr.. Simmons accepted the substitute
and it was adopted. The bill was then
passed without division.

Noted Writer and Dramatist Passes Away Peace
fully at hristiania-Deceased Was
78 Years of Age

the National theater at Bergen, which
position he held for seven years, when
he became director Of the Norwegian
theater in this city. During these years
his attention was called to the great
possibilities of dramatic writing, and
much of his time was given to that
work.
Leaves Native Land
In 1864 he became very restful to-
ward his native land because of its in
action when the sister kingdom of Dem
mark was attacked by Germany, and
he went to Rome, where he remained
for ten years, and he only occasionally
visited this country for twenty-five
years, but finally returned and made
his home here
1bsen'S plays have attracted a great
deal of attention and no small amount
of criticism for the bold manner in
which he handled social problems, but
even his most severe critics had to ad-
init that while he did not hesitate to
say exactly what he thought, the
dramatic scenes which he created put
the blame for social evils where it be-
longed, and he scored the man who
wronged the poor girl and abandoned
her and yet was received by the So
called best society.
Dramas Translated
Nearly all of his dramas were trans
lated into English, and probably the
best known are "The Dolls House."
Ghosts pillars of Society" and
"Hedda Gabler."
His plays and poems have been the
subject of nfuch study by literary men
and women the world over, and his
strong, forceful manner of dealing with
subjects that most writer's either avoid
or else touch in such a way as to
arouse disgust won for him thousands
of admirers.
Some of the greatest actors and ac-
tresses the world has seen have pro-
duced his plays, especially 1.-The Dolls
House." Ghosts" and "Hedda Cab
ler," and have won fame for them,
but it required actors and actresses OF
great ability to interpret his characters
in the way the master mind intended
them to be interpreted.
He always took an active interest in
all political and social reform move
ments in his native land.

WALLACE SCORES
THE SECRETARY
WRITES LETTER TO SENATOR
WILLARD
Former Chief Engineer of the 18TH
mian Canal Charges Taft With
Abusing His Official
Position
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Former
Chief Engineer John +. Wallace of the
lsthmian canal today addressed a letter
to Senator Millard, chairman of the
committee on 1nteroceanic canals in re-
ply to Secretary Taft's recent testimony
before that committee, in which he
charges Secretary Taft with having
abused his official position in order to
make second assault upon him, and
to place in the public records state
ments calculated and apparently in
tended to affect my reputation for
Verac1ty, such as he would not make
to me as one man to another, face to
face"
He also imputes to Governor Magoon
q breach of confidence in having ad-
vised him to take a certain course of
action and then anticipating it by Sc
cretly writing to Secretary Taft
Says Taft Is Biased
While expressly stating that he bears
no ill will toward William Nelson
Cromwell. Mr.. Wallace speaks of the
bias of Secretary Taft in favor of that
gentleman and says he was aware that
Mr.. Cromwell, among other things, was
trying to secure the payment by the
United States of an improper claim
which, however, was afterward disal-
lowed by the president.
Mr.. Wallace refers to the Manhattan
hotel interview with Secretary Taft,
which was given out to the press with
a statement by Secretary Taft at the
time that it was not the result Of a
hasty outburst of anger, but deliber-
ate opinion formed after receiving Gov
ernor Magoon's letter and telegram,
and expresses the opinion that Secre..
tary Taft prejudged his motive and that
the secretary's actions and remarks
were prearranged. The presence of
Mr.. Cromwell at that interview, Mr..
Wallace says, prevented a free pre-
sentation of his views, because he had
hoped to talk with the secretary alone
and he adds that he believed stenog-
rapher was concealed in the room where
the interview was held or the adjoin-
ing one thereto in order to take notes
of the conversation.
