Washington at the opening of the ses-
sion unaccompanied by their families.

Bold Criminals Rob Jap Bank
at Frisco, After Fatally
Beating Manager
ESCAPE WITH $4,000 IN GOLD
In Broad Daylight Two Men Enter the
Bank, Beat Two Into lnsensbiity,
and Then Make Away With the
Money-Manaser Urakata Dies Two
Hours After Receiving Injuries.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 1.-TWO
robbers escaped with $4,000 in gold be-
longing to the kimmon Ginko, Jap
anese bank at 1888 O'Farrell street,
yesterday afternoon, after fatally beat
ing the manager, S. Urakata, and SER
iously injuring A. Sassaki, Il clerk ur-
akata died two hours later of his in
juries. The robbers made good their
escape and every available detective
and policeman in the city Is at present
working on the case. Chief Oman adj
vances the theory that the robbery was
the work of the same men who MUIR
dered Piitzner and Friede, two mer-
chants, in their store recently.
Crowd Passes as Murder is Done.
After striking down their victims,
the robbers dragged them to a poorly
lighted room in the rear of the bank.
There the PROSTATE forms Of the men
were found later. The unconscious men
were lying in pool of blood that
streamed from their wounds and near
by was a piece of gas pipe foot in
length. The robbers chose a time when
there We're but few persons transact
ing business in the bank and the sem
sational and bold deed was so quickly
effected that 1t was all over before the
crowd of people passing the doors OF
the institution were aware OF what
had taken place. While one OF the
holdup men engaged the paying teller
Of the bank the other walked to the
rear of the bank, and going behind the
counter, picked up a sack containing
$4,000. The action of the robber who
went to the rear of the bank was wit
messed by Sassaki, who Immediately
raised cry of alarm. The cry had
scarcely left his lips before he was
struck down by the man who was car
rying out the gold.
Beat Victims Into Inconsistencies.
The robber who had been talking to
the paying teller drew piece of gas
pipe from his pocket and struck him
a blow that rendered him unconscious.
Both robbers stopped long enough to
beat their victims into unconscious
ness and then walked leisurely from
the bank and disappeared.

Had Reason to Hate Pastor.
The saloon keeper Is said to haze
personal grounds for luminosity against
Father Lange. Before he became ac-
quainted with Dambski, who In the
last few months has been a habitue OF
his saloon, he ran a resort In Father
Lange's parish. This resort. like the
present one, was closed principally be-
cause Of the efforts made by Father
Lange to put an end to conditions for
which 1t was partially responsible.
To the personal animus felt by Ro>
kosz against Father LANCE was added
that which was engendered by the
fact that Father LANCE has taken q
prominent part in endeavoring to weed
out socialism among the Polish peo-
pie. For years Father LANCE was the
uncompromising opponent of the ideas
which Rokosz protested.
1t is claimed that when Rokosz got
hold of Dambski he saw In him tool
fit for his purpose. He is said to have
induced Dambski to renew his efforts
to either discredit Father LANCE or ex-
tort money from him.

They lay side 10y side in their steamer
