WOMAN FRIGHTENs ROBBERS
Are Ready to Crack Postoffce Safe
When She Taps on the
Window
Special to The Herald


BELLEFONTAINE. O.. May IA
woman rapping on a window pane put
four robbers to flight at DeGraff this
morning, just as they were about to
crack the safe of the postoffice, which
contained large amount of money and
stamps. Miss Elizabeth Reexer, who
lives near the postoffice, was aroused
shortly after midnight by the sound of
breaking glass Going to a window she
saw an armed man standing near the
door Of the postoffice. She knocked on
the window and the stranger fired two
shots, neither of which struck the
woman. Miss Reexer then saw three
other men rush from the postoffice and
all drove out of town behind a horse
which had been stolen from Mayor
James Hone. Miss Reexer then called
up the telephone central and the oper-
ator informed the citizens, who turned
out with rifles and revolvers ready for
battle, but the robbers had too much
of start The abandoned horse was
found later on the road to Lima.
Investigation showed that the post
office safe had been soaped ready to be
blown open, Before being detected by
Miss Reexer the robbers had dynamited
the safe at the Office of John Startz-
man, but got nething of value.

Excellent Work Done by Los Angelo,

Praise-San Francisco viii
Soon Need Food

That Los Angeles has responded
nobly to all the demands made upon
her by the recent calamity that fell
upon her sister city and that the men
and women who have labored unceas-
ingly to care for those who fled away
from the fire that consumed their
homes have never spared themselves
is the belief of San Francisco people.
Many of those who fled to Los An
geles have had employment found for
them. Those who were without cloth
ing were provided for and everything
that could be done for them was done
with hearty good will. That there was
grave need for quick relief work will
be quite apparent when it is known
that all the supplies of clothing pro-
vided for the refugees has been ex-
hausted and there is a pressing need
for more
A statement and appeal to the good
people of Los Angeles is issued by the
citizens committee. The showing of
what has been done and what is need
ed is given in full and makes apparent
how imperative is the existing need :
To the people of Los Angeles:
The committee responsible for the
welfare of the refugees desires to an
nounce that it has exhausted its sup
plies and is in urgent need Clothing
of every kind is needed, especially for
women. Shoes, bedding, furniture, gro
ceries and everything that will con-
tribute to domestic comfort is in de-
mand.
Those who apply for relief now are
of refined class and this should be
borne in mind by those who are in
clined to assist in the work of relief
Great quantities of supplies have been
sent To San Francisco and the last oar
load, sent yesterday, almost completely
exhausted our available supply. Judg-
ing by the past, we know that you will
come to our assistance.
We still extend a hearty invitation
to refugees in search of employment to
call upon us in the Baker block. OF
twenty-five men who applied to us
Monday we placed twenty-one, and of
eight women we found places for
seven. We earnestly implore our peo-
pie to continue and complete their good
work.

BIG REVEALS IN KOREA
Twelve Hundred Natives Join the
Church During Special Re-
Ilgious Services There


Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, May THE great re-
vivals which have stirred some Ameri-
can cities in the past year or two, and
which are stirring the city of Philadel-
phia, are matched by similar move
ments on the foreign mission field.
Among these is a revival in Pyeng
Yang, Korea. These meetings were
held during the Korean holidays. and
in the four Presbyterian churches of
the city nearly 1900 persons declared
their intentions to be Christians. The
principal meetings We're held i'm the
evening and there were classes for
workers in the afternoons and a
house-to-house visitation was made
all day by native helpers. In this
connection 1t may be said that while
missionaries sent out by the PI-esby-
terian foreign board We're at the meet
ings, the speaking was done almost
wholly by native Korean leaders.
AT the same time as the revival IN,
the Korean city there were special
meetings In the country round about.
with the result that at Nong Kane
Kol the church OF thirty people has
grown to 18O At Ko Chang a group
OF forty has grown 10 200. Al MoralS
the congregation OF 150 has grown to
300. Similar increase OF numbers
might be reported from scores OF
places. An interesting phase of the
Korean work is the fact that many
natives contribute days work 10 the
eause instead OF money These days
are spent In house-to-house work.
