INSPECTOR ANDERSON
HELD UP BY FooTPADs
United States 0meial In Hulls and Boil
ers once Has an Exciting Ex-
pericnce With Robbers.

Carl F. Lehners, an assistant United
States inspector of hulls and boilers,
was held up last Monday forenoon by
two thugs, and although he notified
the police authorities an hour later, no
policeman or detective has called to
see him to get his story or his descrip
ton of the footpads.
Lehners says that at a quarter past
II o'clock on Monday forenoon of this
week he was standing on the corner of
Third and Berry streets waiting for a
car Suddenly he heard a voice behind
him demanding why in Tartafus he
was looking at the speaker. who, at
the same time applied an opprobrious
name to him. Lehners turned around
and saw a thug about four feet distant
who held blackjack in his right hand
Sticking out of his left hand hip pocket
was what looked like the handle of a
hammer or hatchet. Another thug
stood q little to the rear and to one
side of the blackjack man. Not many
were six or eight people, but Lehners
at first was too surprised and later too
much afraid to give an alarm.
II was not looking at YOU" replied
Lehners to the thug. who had a cigar
ette in his mouth.
The car came along at that moment,
and the second thug, who seemed to
be rather nervous said, Let the -
go. He hasn't got anything. Then
the first thug. using the same vile Ian
guage, said that it was lucky for Leh-
ners that the car was coming along.
Lehners jumped on board the car. too
frightened to make an outcry. When
he arrived at his destination he imme-
diately telephoned to police headquar-
ters. but UP to last night no one had
come to see him.
Lehner describes the blackjack thug
as feet 10 inches tall and Weighing
about 14o pounds. He was smooth
shaven. of light complexion, wore a
gray telescope hat. and was about so
years old. The other man was about
6 feet all. weighing about $50 pounds,
and of dark complexion The thug who
held the blackjack had a swelling
about the size of a pigeons egg at the
base of the right thumb.

ing the Harahan stock, 69O.657 shares.

FISH AND CROMWELL CLASH.
During the meeting President Fish
and Cromwell engaged in several dis
cussions which at times approached the
acrimonious. Cromwell insisted that
President Fish was in honor bound, by
virtue of a promise which he declared
Fish had given to Hartman, to name
as a successor to GrinneIl Charles de
Forest. This Fish declined to do, Civ
ing as his reason for refusing that De
Forest is a director of the Southern Pa
cific and declaring at the same time his
determination to maintain the indepen-
dence of the Illinois Central.
1t was said by Cromwell that Beach,
Harahan and Vanderbilt were agree
able to both sides when the matter was
discussed in New York, and he today
charged President Fish with a wish to
nominate others in their places. When
the men were finally named Cromwell
declared that President Fish had bro
ken his promise to Hartman in naming
Cutting as one of the directors. He
said that President Fish had kept but
one-half of his promise and that a
promise halfkept had not been kept
at all.
When the issue was squarely drawn
whether Fish was still bound by the
agreement or whether it had been pre-
viously nullified by the action of Har-
riman and Peabody-Fish looked
squarely at Cromwell and again said.
with emphasis:
Il will never cast single vote for
Mr.. de Forest"
Il did not know" rejoined Cromwell,
but you had changed your mind as you
did on the outgoing directors. You
said when I talked with you this morn
ing that you did not know whether you
would vote for them or not"
II am going to correct you, Mr.
Cromwell" answered Fish, rising. Il
never said any such thing. What 1 did
say was that 1 refused to discuss the
matter with you in any way"
The business of the meeting having
been transacted 1t was declared ad-
journed.
