CLOSED FOR FIRST TIME.
United Hebrew Charities of New
York Out of Funds.

New York. Dec 24-The United
Hebrew Charities, the largest Jewish
charitable organization in the United
States, which has annually extended
aid TO over 5000 families in this city
comprising over $4,000 individuals
closed its doors today for the first time
in its history, for lack of funds.
No more money viii be expended I'M
til Jan. l, when the society will again
start operations and continue its aid
until the sum allotted for the month
by the directors has been paid out.
Last year approximately S3G0000 was
paid out in benefits and pensions by
the society, but this year there is
deficit of nearly $4,000 with an in
creased number of applications for as
sistance. The deficit is caused by the
falling off in the guarantee fund which
is annually subscribed by certain rich
men, and the expiration of certain leg
acies and requests

THUGS SANDBAG
THEIR VICTIMS
.HOld-Ups and RobberieS Are
Becoming a Portion of
Daily Police Routine.
ENGINEER is ATTACKED
MINING MAN KNOCKED UNcoN-
SCIOUS AND MONEY STOLEN.

Sandbaggers took the place of armed
highwaymen in the streets of Salt Lake
on Monday night and were busy for a
time. How many victims the sandbag-
gers attacked is not vet known, but two
cases have already leaked out, despite
the police policy of suppression.
Mr.. Williams, an engineer employed by
the Utah Copper company, was one of the
men who reported an experience with the
sandbaggerS. He was walking in Main
street, between Fourth and Fifth South
streets, when one of the robbers crept
up behind him and struck him upon the
right side of the head. Mr.. Williams re-
members receiving the blow and clutch
ing wildly to save himself from a fall.
Then all grew black. He was Uncon-
scious for nearly half-hour. When he
regained his senses and rose to his feet
he found that the thieves had rifled his
pockets of SIS.
The robbery was at once reported to the
police. 1t was hushed up through fear
that the thief would discover that a rob-
berry had occurred.
A little later, the sandbagger assailed
a second man at Second East and Fifth
South streets. This man wore a stiff hat
and the blow of the sandbag crushed d
hole in the crown. The intended victim
was able to dodge second blow and ran
away to report the occurrence to the po-
lice.
The sandbagger apparently made no eff
fort to pursue him, Sinking away in the
darkness.
1t is supposed that the robbers have
discarded their revolvers as dangerous
and noisy and have adopted the safe
method of taking their victims unaware.
Christian Nelson of 165 East Second
South street, was last night stopped in
Third East street, between Fifth and
Sixth South streets. by two men who
asked him if he had any money. Nelson,
who is a boy about II years old, replied
that he was without cash. Not believ-
ing him, the men knocked him down and
went through his pockets. Finding moth
ing, they set the boy free. Nelson re-
ported the matter to the police. He said
that his asSailants were two young men.
They answered the description of the
robbers who attacked George Carr of
Mammoth on Sunday night.
