Robbed the Bank.

Despite the efforts OF the Union Trust
Company, one of the greatest financial
institutions of Pittsburg. to keep secret
the facts Of the robbery at the bank OF
between 1925, 060 snd $500, 900, the
whole story came oul yesterday sjle,poon
when Clifford ). Hixton, who bad plead
ed guilty to having committed the rob
berry, were called for sentence. The
story is one of the most remarkable ever
heard ia the court room, and when
Harry G Clifford, the treasurer Of the
big bank, corrobOrated the story as told
by Wray and Hixton, Judge James s.
Young, who was on the bench, threw mp
both hands at the lax methods that had
been used. Each of the boys were sen.
fenced to serve ten years in the Western
penitentisry, although two OF the sen.
fences are to run concurrently, which re-
duces the sentence TO eightyesrs. Wray
told the way they got the money. He,
az teller, would make out deposit slip
in the name of some former 'depoaitos
whose account had long lspsed. II
would pass through the hands OF several
brokers, and 6nally to Hixton, who
would enter it. Then Wrsy would draw
iosgea check for the amount, and the
check would aitervsrd be destroyed by
Hixton.

Oman Letter TO the Pone.

Catholics all over the world have been
stirred by an open letter addressed to
Pope Plus \, calling on the pontiff TO
open the tomb of st. Peter at Rome,
aud settle for all time the current gossip
that if such tomb exists il will be found
to contain nothing,
For fifteen years or more there have
been doubts in archaeological circles as
to whether there is tomb where the IA
nous monument of Michael Angelo
stands, and where Roman pont;ffs for
centuries have knelt 10 prayer before
taking up the burden of governing the
Catholic Church.
But no one has been bold enough to
publish a letter calling on the reigning
ponhff to excaVate and so settle the
doubts.
Marcellus. wis wrote the letter, and
is supposed to be noted Italian arch
aeologist, declares briefly that there is
no such tomb, or if such thing exists,
it will be found to have been desecrated.
This is said TO be the belief of the FORE
most srcbseOlogists of Europe.
Mucellus' letter has drawn no re-
spouse from the Pope, but two Of the
most distinguished archaeologists in the
Catholic Church, Prof. Marucchi and
the Jesuit Father Grisar, declare Marcel
lus is wrong-that there is tomb, and
that the body of The first of the apostles
is there.
Father Grisar aud Prof. Msrucchi,
however, agree with Msrcellus that the
tomb ahould be opened, in order that
the doubters may be convinced. The
next move is watched With grea. interest
by doctors OF the church and Catholics at
large

DETAILS Of the devastation ana loss
of life wrought by the hurricane on the
Gulf coast, Cuba and on the ocean in
the vicinity of that island are now being
received. While the estimates concern
ing the loss of life may not prove as
great as now supposed, enough is known
to show that death followed in the wake
Of the high wind and accompanying
floods, and that several hundred persons
have persisted, while the property loss
has been enormous. This CONFUSION OF
nature has followed closely after SINH
lar disturbance at Mobile aud other
places near the Gulf coast, by which
many persons were drowned and the
damage to property enormous. The In
teryal between the storms has been short.
Horrors in the form of earthquakes
volcanic eruptious and storms in differ
ent sections of the world arc becoming
more numerous and there seems to be
barely a weeks interval between them.
