BANK ROBBERY
IN San FRANCISCO

Armed with revolvers and pieces of
gas pipe, two robbers entered the Jap
anese bank Kimmon Ginko, also known
as the Golden Gate bank, at 1888 o.
Farrell street in San Francisco last
Wednesday at noon, and after fatally
beating two clerks, escaped with $4,000
in gold.
The robbers chose time when there
were but few people transacting bust
ness in the bank and the sensational
and blod deed was SO quickly effected
that it was all over before the crowd
of people passing the doors of the bank
were aware of what had taken place.
S Urapata, the manager of the bank,
was acting as teller and A. SasakI was
the clerk. After striking down their
victims the thugs dragged them to a
poorly lighted room III the rear of the
bank There it was that the PROSTATE
forms were found by countryen of the
bankers. The unconscious men were
lying in pool of blood that streamed
from their wounds, and nearby was a
piece of gas pipe over foot in length.

REAR END COLLISION
FOUR PERSONS KILLED ON The
PENNSYLVANIA ROAD.
Thirty-six Persons lnjured-Engneer
Had Disregarded Signal of Warning
Claimed Engine Was Out of Order
His Train Crashed into Sleeping
Car of Stalled Train-Rescue Slow.

Philadelphia, Sept. 3O.-Running at
great speed past a signal set up
against it and a flagman who was
wildly waving a warning to the engi-
neer, an express train bound for Phil
a.elphia on the Pennsylvania railroad
crashed into a stalled Long Branch
express at Eddington, with the result
that three persons are dead and 80 in
jured, several of whom are believed
to be fatally hurt. That more persons
were not killed is considered remark
able, as three of the cars of the Long
Branch train were completely tele-
scoped by the terrific impact of the
heavy New York express.
Engineer Van Arsdale of the New
York express, who was not hurt, said
he saw the red signal as well as the
tiagman, but was unable to bring his
train to a standstill although he had
experienced no trouble whatever in
stopping at Trenton, which was the
last stop he had made. After the ac-
cident Fireman BoswiclI of the New
York express said he found the angle
cock of the third car of his train turn
ed away, which cut off the air from all
the cars back of the first three.
1t is said by passengers that the
Long Branch express, bound for Phil,
adelphia, had stopped to cool off a
hot journal While the train crew
were at work on the journal the ex-
press train which left New York at
1880 a. m. Numbered around a curve
and crashed into the Long Branch
train. 1t is declared that the express
from New York disregarded signals
and thus caused the accident.
Most Of those killed and injured
were in a Pullman car on the rear of
the Long Branch train. 1t was cut in
two as with a knife, and the impact
smashed the two coaches ahead of it.
Because of lack of facilities it was
some time before the work of rescue
began.

DR.. Harper was born in 1856 in Ne
Concord, Ohio. he entered college
the age of 8 and at IA graduated, b
alma mater being a United Presbl
terrain institution at his birthplace. A
10 he took the degree of doctor of phi
osophy at Yale, and at 20 became pres
ident of the Masonic College at Ma
con, Tenn. Thence he went to Denl
son University, later to the Baptis
Union Theological Seminary at Nor
gan Park, ILL.,, and eventually to Yak
as teacher of Semitic languages. In
1891 Chicago University was set go
ing by an endowment of 100000 and
DIR. Harper was installed as presL
| dent.
In his development of the institu-
ton in size and popularity and equip
ment Dr. Harper showed an executive
ability which has been compared to
! that of great showmen. He went out
among the colleges summoning men
who appealed to him as brilliant teach
ers and as men likely to be comment
ed upon by educators and laymen for
their work. He offered such salaries
that it was impossible for these men
to refuse his offers. For several years
| after this levy of DR., Harper many
of the older institutions of the cOun-
try were sadly crippled. He was ev-
erywhere searching for men who had
achieved regulations while at Chicago
DR.. Harper was perfectly method
cal worker. He kept an engagement
book in which he prearranged every
five minutes of the days to come. Hes
left nothing to chance In disposlng Of
his time. He slept but six hours a
night at most.
In February, 1905, DR.. Harper IN
derwent an operation for what was
believed to be appendices. 1t wsS
found that he was suffering from q.
malignant eancerous growth. He wxs
operated upon three times afterward.

Hetty Green, the worlds richest
woman, is a homeless wandered, She
dare not take up her abode anywhere
for fear of the tax collector. Hunted
by the man with the tax list, she left
her home in the metropolis and took
up her residence in Hoboken, n. j.
There her quiet and frugal mode Of
living was interrupted by the local tax
office bloodhounds, who again got on
her track, and she fed to the rural
peace of Bellows Falls. VT. In that
place all went happily until the tax
officers recently raised the valuation
on her place from $4,000 to $4,000.
This Mrs. Green viewed with horror
and again i'll is announced that she has
given up her home and fled. This is
another instance of the fact that the
life of the frugal New York million
aire is not all beer and skittles. No
matter TO what rural wilderness he
withdraws himself the Shylocks of the
tax Office find him. And they seem 10
insist upon treating him like any or
linary mortal subject of taxation and
