ROBBERS LOOT CLUB
ON THE H0LD-UP PLAN.
Hamilton, Chicago's Fashionable Demo-
cratic Organization, Loses
Its Cash.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-TWO masked
bandits held up the Hamilton Club at
$3.50 o'clock last night and robbed the
money drawer at the clerks desk, while
the elevator boy and two bellboys were
forced to face the wall with hands
above their heads and a third boy cow
cred behind a curtain not twenty feet
away.
When they finished with the cash
drawer, from which they obtained $40,
the craftsmen turned to the safe,
swung the outer doors open and were
preparing to insert an explosive when
they were interrupted by the noise of a
buzzer al the clerks desk transmitting
a signal from the billiard-room on the
sixth floor, where half a dozen club
members were playing, wholly unaware
of what was occurring on the second
floor.
Startled by the sound of the buzzer,
the robbers commanded the three en-
ployees of the club to enter the ele-
vator. Covered by two dangerous-look-
ing revolvers, the boys obeyed. When
the elevator doors mad been slammed
in obedience to the order of one of the
robbers, Joseph Stone, the elevator boy,
in reply to the threats of the masked
men, ran the elevator to the sixth
floor. AS the elevate shot upward the
frightened boys saw the robbers u n
ming down the stairway to Monroe
street. They made good their Escape

DEFENDED BY
DAUGHTER
Says Her Uncle Franks
jealousy Of Her Father Is
Cause of Attack.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Harold
Fowler Mccormick, the daughter of
John D. Rockefeller, yesterday de-
fended her father against the oil kings
youngest brother, Frank Rockefeller.
Jealousy" she said, brought about
by my uncle's signal lack of business
ability, is the cause of the vituperation
he has heaped upon'my father.
MY father holds no malice against
him. 1t may not be consistent with the
usual picture drawn of my father, but
he holds malice against no man.
MY uncle's failure to profit by the
fortune of my father, and his repeated
failures in business, have been worm
wood and gall to him. The bitterness
has grown from year to year. 1t has
taken for its objective point the
brother who has prospered."
Mrs. Mccormack a y 1t is true that
her grandfather is alive.
Between my father and my grand
father there always existed the respect
and love that should prevail between
father and on. My grandfather
watched with the keenest interest the
successes of his son."
Mrs. Mccormick said that her grand
fathers health was responsible in a
large degree for his being out of range
of the public EYE.

readily be that in some industries combina-

The Standard is, however, a most con-

of a combination which maintains a sub

FRANK ROCKEFELLER
DENIES Interview.
Declares He Didn't Call His Brother,

night that he had given any interview
calling John d. Q monster, and declaring
he would expose his brother and force him
into exile. Frank Rockefeller is at his

east of Cleveland.
IT did not give the interview in ques-

he gave When excerpts from a New York
newspaper interview were read to him he
rocked to and fro in his big armchair,
tapping nervously on the porch floor with
his slippers. When the reading ended he
evidently made up his mind as to his
reply. Turning suddenly, he said:
81 did not give that interview to that
paper, and anybody who says 1 did lies.
/ did not give that interview to anybody,
and the paper publishes 1t upon its own
responsibility"
Does the interview express your senti-

was asked.

remarked:

SHIP WITH CREW OF 40
GIVEN UP FOR LOST,
British Freighter N~icaraguan Should
Have Reached Port of Destination
Eight Weeks Ago.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-No word hav-
ing been received regarding the British
freight steamer Nicaraguan since she
passed the Virginia capes on June 8,
hope for her safety has been given up
at Dublin, where she should have ar
rived not later than June %. The Mic
araguan is one of the Leyland fleet, a
part of the International Mercantile
Marine, and steamed out of Fort
Tampa on June 8. She put into Nor
folk five days later for bunker coal and
passed out of the capes the same day.
Captain Shacklock and a crew of
forty men were aboard the Nicaraguan.
She was heavily laden with phosphate
rock, and if, as it is feared, she was
run down by an iceberg, the steel
steamship would have loated only a
few moments after the crash.

SPlTS IN FACE OF
GENERAL PIcoUART.
Crank Insults French Minister of war
and Is Almost Lynched
by Crowd.

ROCHEFORT, France, Aug. r.
General Picquart, Minister of War. was
insulted and afterward assaulted in the
railroad station here last evening when
returning from the dedication of a
monument to Edouard Grimaux, who
was prominent in securing a revision
of the sentence of Captain Dreyfus.
A laboring man suddenly emerged
from the crowd that was applauding
General Picquart and spit in his face,
violently seized him by the arm and
shouted;
1T is you, then, Picquartl Long live
the Marecha1!"
General Picquart threw off his assail-
ant before he had an opportunity to do
him further harm.
The crowd, with shouts of anger at
the indignity offered the War Minister,
surged forward and fell upon his as
sailant, who was trampled and in dan-
ger of being killed, blu was finally res
cued and taken to Jail, badly mauled
and bruised.
The man was identified by Edouard
Lecop, a member of the National
Workmen's Federation, which supports
the open shop movement. He a a
large sum of money, but refused to
explain his action. 1t is thought he is
insane.
General Pfcquart was not hurt and
resumed his journey.
In his Grafton at the dedication of
the monument General Picquart paid a
tribute to the noble courage displayed
by Grimaux in the campaign for re-
vision of the sentence of Captain Drey-
fus.
