POLICE INCLINED
TO BELIEVE CASE
ONE OF REVENGE

Headquarters detectives profess they
are at a loss to explain the attack
made upon Howard w. Throckmorton,
friend of G. c. Boldt, jr.. son of the
proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria,
Tuesday night near the Santa Fe sta
ton.
While on his way to board a train
for San Diego, according to Throck-
smorton's statement, he was held up by
two men and upon his showing fight,
one of them stabbed him slightly near
the heart. He said he fired two shots
at the supposed highwaymen, and then
reported the holdup to the station Off
cials.
Detectives hint it was a case of re-
Mexicans from Tia Juana, where the
wealthy young Boldt won as his bride
a beautiful Spanish girl
On the supposition that Throckmor-
ton was enamored of some other pretty
Mexican girl it was conjeotured dis
appointed Mexican lover might have
been lying in wait for the young Amer
lean.
The wounded man did not so to the
police station, but after his cut was
dressed proceeded to San Diego The
alleged holdup was reported by PATROL
man Mcmillan. who talked with
Throckmorton at the station.
Although he claimed to have shot
twice at his assailants none heard the
report of the pistol. Until Throckmor-
toms retlrn from San Diego the police
will do nothing as they have only sec
ond-hand knowledge of any holdup.

EIGHT DAY:
STORK Is BUSY
CHICAGO PRINTERS AGREE WITH
PRESIDENT
Members of Typographical Union No.
16 Point to Fact That Shorter
Hours Assists Anti.Race
Suicide Idea
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 13.-EmpIoyers who
agree with President Roosevelt in his
anti-race suicide ideas can do much to
advance the cause by granting their
employees an eight-hour work day.
This is the belief of the members of
Typographical Union No. 16, who say
that the fact has been demonstrated in
their own experiences.
The Typographical union has made
public report which contains much in
teresting material on the subject. The
officials of the union profess to have
established among other things a close
relationship between the large family
and the short work day
Since September /, when the eight
hour schedule was first put into effect
in the printing shops In Chicago, there
has been q remarkable increase in the
birth rate among the compositors'
families.
The total number of births recorded
during the period Is twenty-four, which
represents a is per cent better showing
than appeared for the preceding ten
months
Another effect which the printers
credit to the shortening Of the hours OF
labor is a lowering in the death rate
among the members.
From tables kept by the union in
former years the average mortality in
the organization has been forty out of
about 5000 men.
For the last ten months the records
kept by Secretary William McEvery
show a death list of only fifteen mem
berS,
