FRIDAY EVENING. JULY5, 1907.

A STORY OF most remarkable nerve
aqd cool daring, Of bank paying teller
who calmly packed II fortune in cur
rency in a dress suit case during one
davis business hours and as calmly walk
81 out in the afternoon, without breath
of suspicion attaching to him, came to
Ugh, Wednesday when reward OF 81, 300
WAS offered for the capture of Chester b.
Runyau, until Saturday trusted officer
of the Windsor Trust Company, in Ne"
York. Saturday afternoon be walked
ont of the trust company's Office with
$50. 8I7.75 of the company's money
sioged in his suit care. For consum-
mate cOolness, the getaway that Runyan
made has rarely been beaten. The cage
watch the payteller occupied is OF open
s.eel lattice work. Whatever goes on Is
Visible TO those in the csges to the night
and left. There is an assistant IN The
cage al day. He noticed Rupyan opeD-
lag the suit case, often, but paid DO at
tention. Yet RuDysn WAS able during
the course Of Saturday morning to open
his dress suit case from time to time aud
slip within it the entire contents OF his
till. He made a thorough cleanup, rot
lelving 50 much as a scent piece be-
hind him. The money was made up OF
bills varying in denomination from 8, 600
down. Many of them were bills OF the
smaller sizes, which will be extremely
easy for the teller TO pass. Runyan
evidently picked the day for the robbery
with great care. The robbery could have
been the result of no sudden and over
powering impulse. Saturday was the
most favorable day in the whole week
for the mans purpose, for he knew that
the theft would not be discovered until
Monday morning, and this would give
him nearly two days in which to lose
himself, which he did.

Mysterious Death.

New York, July 5.--Her hand almost
severed at the wrist with a jagged frag-
ment of glass from broken decanter,
mysterious woman was found dying 10
her room at the Harlem Central Hotel
today. She died from loss OF blood soon
after her arrival at the Harlem Hospital.
The authorities doubted whether the
cash in her wrist was alone responsible
for her death and will hold sn autopsy
to determine whether she did not also
take poison. The woman registered as
Mrs. Groom, but it is thought she gave
the wrong name. She was about 50
years old, well dressed aud evidently
amply supplied with money.

Serious Conditions in New York,

New York, July 8 The temperature
is rising aud no ice. The drivers and
helpers strike spread today. The tie-up
is tighter than ever. A few wagons left
the American Ice Company's pier, but
we're soon driven hack by the strikers,
their harness cut to pieces and the men
cut and bleeding from Dealings at strike
sympathizers' hands. The men still
clamor for higher pay and shorter hours.
The ice company's official say they
will promise no more than their old
places to the men.
The situation in Manhattan cleared
later 10 the day. Business Agent Fer
atti still refused to call the strike of, but
strikers kept returning to their work un-
til most Of the wagons were running as
usual.
In Brooklyn the strikers held out,
with few exceptions. There was con-
siderable rioting on the Long Island
side of the river and number of strike
breakers we're badly beaten.
STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
New York, July 5.--The ice drivers
and helpers strike was officially called
off in Manhattan this afternoon. The
vote vas unanimous, the union leaders
saying it was impossible to keep the ma
jority Of strikers from returning to work.

striking employees but grants no other
concessions. The Brooklyn strike is

LeOpold,s PlebIan Son.

Brussels July 5 The prospects of a
plebiau son Of King Leopold and a
woman of the oOmmonest antecedsnts
becoming heir to the throne of Belgium
Is Just now causing the greatest anxiety
to Belgisns of all classes. According to
information coming today to the Pub
fishers Press from court authorities
Leopold is said to have about determined
to solemnize his marriage under a re-
ligious ceremony with the Baroness
Vaughn, by whom he has two-year-
old son, with civil ceremony. Such
an act would make the Baroness queen
fof. Belgium and her son heir to the
throne. 1t is has been officially stated
to Leopold that the Belgian people will
never endure the sight of the throne
passing to one of mediocre blood and that
il he persists bis abdicstion will be forced.
This threat is not likely to deter Leo
pold, however, as he is known as the
most obstinate monarch in Europe.

Federal Judge lands, of Chicago,
threatens to "queer the governments
game" in the Standard Oil prosecutions.
If he carries out his present intention OF
placing John d. Rockefeller on the
witness stand, in the rebate cases, be
will give the Department of Justice the
heaviest jolt it has ever received. The
moment Mr.. Rockefeller opens his mouth
io court as 10 the Standards operations,
he will secure immunity from all posi-
BILE criminal prosecutions.
The fact that the government has in
mind such sction against him will fall
with astounding force in certain qusr-
t,rs, and be as great a surprise 20 the
general public, as the Information that
the Attorney General and his trust bust
ers' are not in entire sympathy with the
present pursuit of the oil king. The
Department of Justice is anxious to have
the judicial probe inserted into the
Standards management, as the revels-

Mr.. JAMES r. BREWER, secretary q
the Maryland State Board Of Charities,
is strongly opposed to vaccination, alleg-
ing that it is responsible for the increase
in the number of cases of tuberculosis.
He has called down on his head a storm
OF indignation. He says:
Forty years ago the scabs taken from
children were 10 great demand, because
it was believed that no purer virus could
be had; but soon it developed that 10
many instances those vacci7ated were
affected with scroiula. Then it was de-
termined to use the matter taken from
healthy cattle. Prior to this time,
tuberculosis was not common disease,
but since then it has developed alarm
ingly. As tuberculosis is cattle disease,
it is plain enough that the human family
has become infected by incubation.
Abolish vaccination, and in time con-
sumption and kindred troubles will de-
crease"
Mr.. Brewer says he expects to see the
time when, instead of imposing a pen
atty upon people for refusing to submit
t. vaccination, there will be law pro-
hibiting the practice of vaccination, and
his views are entertained by many others.

Disorder In Rome.

The centenary of the birth of Gaiibal-
di was celebrated in r me yesterday as
national holiday. The city was dec
GRATED from end to end with flags. The
shops which attempted to remain open
were forced to close by the rabb'e which
psradtd the streets from an early hour.
Among The psradeIs we're many red
shirted man purported to have been fol.
lowers of Garibaldi, but they were too
young to serve under him. Socialist,
republican, anarchist, and anti-clerical
societies, preceded by flags, marched
from the Piszzl Popolo to Janiculum
Hill, where Signor Barzilai, republic
can deputy, made q speech. Wreaths
we're placed on the Garibaldi statue.
1t is estimated that there we're $4,000
persons in the procession. They were
greatly excited aud bent more upon
proving, disOrderIy than celebrating
Garibsldi's centenary.
Auti-clerical feeling ran very high.
Hurrahs for Gsribsldi were drowned by
shouts of death to the Pope aud
priests" When the procession passed
in front of the Hunt Club the mob shout
ed "Down with the aristOcracY," and
when in front OF the Austrian Embassy,
"Down With Austria" Cries Of "Desth
to the priests were raised in front Of
every church. Squads Of police escorted
the procession. all the troops of the
garrison were confined to their barracks,
while whole regiments drafted to the
city for the occasion we're hidden in the
courtyards Of palaces and government
buildings.
The Vatican was surrounded by troops
aud the bridge leading thereto we're
strongly guarded.

The Haywood Trial.

Boise, Idaho, July 5.-Point blank
denial of Harry Orchards story Of the
famous Bradley explosion is contained
in fifteen dispositions to be offered in the
Haywood case today. The version Of
those who made the dePC s'tion is that
no one planned to blow Bradley up with
bomb at all, but that the explosion was
due to an accidental gas lesk. the de-
tense is fighting hard to get the evidence
before the court; the prosecut on to ex-
clude it from record. By a change in
the deienses programme Haywood will
probably precede Meyer on the stand
today.
