Neutrality-suspicious..
Chicago, Aug. Z ~

Attorney General Wade Fl. Ellis of
Ohio, who was n member OF the com.
mlttee on resolutions of the Republican
national convention, makes the follow.
ing reply to the criticisms OF the plat.
form made by W. J. Bryan. The at.
torney general says in part:
THE charge made by Mr.. Bryan that
the Republican declaration with re.
spect TO the use of the writ of lnjunc.
ton was designed TO deceive the Ia.
boring man is unworthy of candl
date for president, and the further
charge that this plank merely declares
the existing law and will give no relief
In those cases in which there has been
an abuse or discretion or the apprehen
sion of it is unworthy OF any lawye:
who has examined the question.
THE anti-lnjunctlon resolution Is n
frank, clear statement OF the Republic
an party's position on u question on
which others have been attempting to
deceive labor. The sole basis OF any
rational complaint as to the issuance
of injunctions IN labor cases has beer
the use Of the writ without notice and
the long delays in some instances which
have interviewed before hearing OF
the case.
THE present statute does not require
any notice atall before the granting of
a temporary or5er. and 1t is entirely
within the discretion OF the court to
postpone TO any time the Judge may
see fit the hearing upon the question Of
an injunction. The Republican plank
simply declares that notice shall al.
ways be given unless an irreparable
injury will result from delay, and In
that case there shall be speedy hear
Ing provided. 1t viii meet the approval
Of every right thinking man, whether
an employer or an employee"

JAILED As LuNAT|GS
Are Two Men from Perry Mines
One Was Loaded
With Weapons.

Abraham Deems. an American. and
John scypos, an italian, are suspected
OF being lunatics and are imprisoned
in the county jail awaiting hearings
as to their sanity before Magistrate
George H. Gordon. They were ar
rested at Perry Mines Wednesday by
Constable E. H. Kidd. Both had been
employed there as miners. Scypos.
had a shot gun. loaded revolver. a
pair of brass knuckles and two or
three knives when arrested. He had
been acting strange for two or three
days and the mine officials thought It
would be better to have him arrested
Deems suffered a sun stroke several
months ago which is believed to have
affected his mind. Neither had been
violent but It was feared that they
might become so and do injury to
themselves and to others. They will
be given hearings Friday.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JOSE, Sept. 22.-In the two years
since the resignation Of President Eli
McCIsh, DR. VI. N. Cross as acting
president of the University of the Pa
cffic has greatly endeared himself to
the students by his interest in school
affairs. They claip that during his
administration there has been unprece-
dented increase in the number of stu
dents; that more ardent spirit per-
meates all school activities; that il now
ranks higher in athletic attainments
than ever before. and believe that the
advance is due directly to DIR. Cross
effective methods and that change at
the present time would mean injury
to the school.
In explanation Of their action in tele-
graphing Dr. Guth to assist them in
keeping DR.. Cross at the head of the
university, a leader in the student body
stated:
We had no intention in sending the
first telegram of debating to the board
Of trustees OF the university, and had
no thought of discourtesy TO DIR. Guth
personally. A letter to the board was
al the same time prepared, in which
we stated that our actions hitherto were
prompted only by love for the univer-
sity and belief that change of ad-
ministration would be detrimental to
the future success and prosperity OF
the educational Institution
We have no idea" continued the
member of the student body, speaking
for the body, "of intruding upon the
prerogatives of the board"

POSTMASTER HELD
UP BY MASKED men
Bandits Enter -AppIegate, CAL,
Postoffice and Take S325
From the Occupants

AUBURN. Sept ga daring holdup
and robbery took place at the store of
George c. Hepburn at Applegate
about $3.50 o'clock last night The
postoffice, which is in the store was
robbed of $125 and 5000 was taken
from Hepburn. Two, men entered the
store, one by the ffont door and the
other from the rear. The leader, who
was evidently an sold hand, wore a.
mask. AS soon as they entered they
turned down the Rochester lamp that
was burning and covered Hepburn and
one Of the clerks, F. Grothers. with a
revolver, marched them behind the
counter and made them stand up with
their hands up and faces to the wall.
They first robbed the postofflce of SI25
and then went through the pockets of
Hepburn and Crothers. They then
marched the latter into the Office and
compelled Hepburn to open the safe,
from which they took 5000. Just then
Mrs. Hepburn called through speak
ing tube from the house to inquire
why her husband did not come homes
and one of the thugs answered, "Oh.
don't bother us now, we are busy
here" The voice created much con-
cern, and another clerk, w. H. Stokes,
who was at the house. rushed to the
store to investigate. AS soon as he
came into the store he was struck on
the head with a revolver and knocked
down. The robbers then went
through his pockets. They then
marched the three men down the track
toward Auburn about a mile and set
them free, telling them to walk back
slowly. The sheriff was notified. but
no trace of the fugitives was found.
