NEGRO HOLD-UPS CAUGHT.
Engineer Foils Them BY Putting on
Full Speed and They Are Captured.

New York, N. "a daring at.
tempt to hold up and rob a freight
train on the Pennsylvania railroad at
Railway, N. j., yesterday was frus-
trated by Engineer William r. Law.
renee. The would-be robbers, four
negroes, were captured after an auto
mobile chase.
The freight train was approaching
Railway when the engineer saw a sig.
nal to stop. When he did so he was
surprised to see four negroes jump
from behind a clump of bushes and
climb on board. One of the men
boarded the engine, while the other
three got on the train. The negro on
the engine ordered that one car be
uncoupled from the train and left
behind to be ransacked by them. He
said there would be trouble If the or.
der was not complied with.
Realizing that a fast express train
would be along in a few minutes, the
engineer grasped the throttle and sent
the train going at full speed, while
the negro looked on in amaEement.
Twice the men tried to jump from
the train, but fear of being dashed
to death prevented them and they
hung on until the train reached the
freight yards of the company at
Waverly, II miles away.
There the men fled into the country,
but some policemen who were notified
pressed an automobile into service
and the negroes were soon overtaken.
They gave their names as Joseph Will
son, John Johnson, Norman Tobin
and Florence Davis, all of Phila-
delphia.

BLAMES The PRESS
YAMAMoTO LAYS WAR TALK TO
SENSATIONAL PAPERS.
NO INTEREST IN TRANSFER OF FLEET
Says That 1t Is a Matter Solely for
the American Government to
Decide.

New York, N. Y.-Admiral Baron
Yamamoto, one Of Japan's most dis
tinguished naval officers, is the guest
of New York. The admiral and his
suite arrived here from England on
the steamer Carmania Wednesday
afternoon and will remain until July
Is.
The admiral's first day IN New York
was a busy He was interviewed
by half a hundred reporters, had his
photograph taken a score of times,
received visits from Maj. Gen. Fred
erick Grant, Rear Admiral Robley d.
Evans, Capt. j. d. Adams, acting COM
mandant O the New York navy yard,
and a number of other military and
naval men, took a long automobile
ride, and dined with the members of
his party.
In his interview the admiral depre-
Gated the war scare which has re-
Gently appeared in both Japan and
America. He said that no small Incl
dent could break the friendship which
existed for so many years between
Japan and the United States. He
thought the sensational press of the
two countries largely to blame for
the war talk. AS to the prospective
transfer of the great Atlantic battle
ship squadron to the Pacific, that was
a matter solely for the American
government to decide, and one that
did not interest him in the least, ex-
cept in that it was a novel naval ex-
pertinent.
Admiral Yamamoto took occasion to
deny that on his return to Japan he
would become the leader of the pro-
gressive party. He said that he had
served in one cabinet-he was min
lister of marine during the war with
Russia-and that he had no desire to
have anything whatever to do with
politics.
Read Admiral Evans, who is an old
friend of Admiral Yamamoto, called
on him during the afternoon, and the
two sailors had a long chat together.
After the visit Evans said they had
settled the whole matter of war be-
tween America and Japan and had de-
clared peace. Admiral Yamamoto
agreed with him that war talk was all
nonsense.
at is absolutely silly to talk about
war between the two countries" said
Admiral Evans. "There isn't any
more reason why we should fight ia
pan than there is that we should fight
Italy because Of Italian outrages in
this country or that the Chinese
should declare war on us because
some hoodlup hurls a brick through a
laundry window"
Admiral Yamamoto will return

ans call at the Brooklyn navy yard
Thursday morning. At noon he will
be given a luncheon at the Holland
house, where he is staying, by the
Japanese society, and in the evening
will be given a dinner at the Union
League Club.

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste 81
His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var
ious food products now being supplied
in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said, Il frequently try
a package or so of any certain article
before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, l thought I would try
some Postum Food Coffee. to see what
eason there was for such a call for it.
At breakfast didn't like it and supper
proved the same, so I naturally con
cluded that my taste was different
from that of the customers who bought
it right along.
"A day or two after, I waited ON a
lady who was buying a Csc package
and told her I couldn't understand how
a could fancy the taste of Postum.
II know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes of that time it simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled;
now if you will have it left to boil full
fifteen minutes after it commences to
boil, you will find a delicious Java-like
