Cleveland-The first stroke
of the Foraker followers here was
made when in mass meeting q
committee was selected to displace
the Irregular" Republican county
executive committee.
The question of the legality of
the committee selected as against
the Irregular" committee, said by
the Foraker supporters to be a
Taft organization will now be
placed in the hands of the county
boards of elections. The claims
of the so-called Roosevelt commit
tee, third element in the local
situation, also rests in the same
situation. 1t will be the duty of
the board to determine which COM
mlttee has authority to act for the
party in this county. To place
the issue squarely before the board
each committee has issued a call
for the Republican primaries, all

cried the brakemen, as he walked
through the couch on train No.
508 on the G. A. & c., Saturday
night.
"Mt. Vernon" he called again,
as he touched a man on the
shoulder, who had inquired about
that stop.
For answer, the passenger fell
over against the side of the seat,
and the brakeman, looking down,
was amazed to see staring at him
the CLASSY eyes of dead man.
D. M. Smith was the passenger,
and he had succumbed to sudden
attack of heart failure few miles
north of Mt. Vernon.
Passengers in the car were the
utmost excitement at first, but
were finally quieted by the train
employees who removed the body in
the baggage car as soon as possi-
BILE. A. j. Courtright, a travelling
man, sat in the seat behind Smith
and had been talking to him but a
few minutes before the discovery.

mbuS-Because he was
so unwary as to tread the same
streets with men who set at naugbt
the laws of possession, and further
accentuate their indifference to
legal demands with ready revolv-
ers, a man suffered the loss of his
available cash during the early
hours Saturday morning. w. H..
Kellar lost $17, but knew his man
and lodged information that led to
the robbers apprehension.
Within two hours after the
Kellar hold-up on High street,
just north of the viaduct early
this morning, the two men who
pulled off the stunt were under
arrest and an affidavit charging
highway robbery filed against one
of them, who was positively identi-
fed by the victim.
Kellar, who lives at Rockbridge,
was returning to his hotel about
1890 this morning, when he was
held up by man who pointed a
gun in his face and ordered him
to stand and deliver. Kellar
noticed another man across the
street, but says this man took no
part In the hold-up.
The highwayman took SIT from
Kellar and then told him to move
on and not look back CIR he would
shoot.
Kellar recognized the man as
Earl McFadden of 206 Fast Poplar
street, and so reported to Officer
Boyer. The patrolman notified
the police operator and descrip-
tion of the men sent to Officers
Masterson, McManus and Carson,
who went to McFadden's home
and found him getting ready for
bed. He had just returned to the
house, but said he had no knowl-
edge of the affair.
The two officers then arrested
George Maxwell, whom they say
was the man who stood across the
street, but Kellar was unable to
identify him as such when he saw
both men at the city prison this
morning.
In police court Saturday Nc
Fadden waived examination and
was bound over to the grand jury

tim of the hold-up, was held as

do this none VIII arrive at the age of
II years without having enough to
take them through college or give
them a good start in life.
Mr.. Saucerman is reputed to be
worth $1,500,000. The new organiza-
ton he is perfecting to help boys is
to be known as "The Trimmer Band"
To demonstrate his earnestness he has
deposited in the name of "The Trim
mer Band" $4,000, which is drawing
interest.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Saucer
man is to take boys from the age of
nine to 16 and organize them into
plants or companies of so or 100. He
would have these boys hold monthly
meetings at which time they would
discuss and be taught economy,
finance and how to earn NOR ey, clean
living and everything in line with in
dustry and morals. Each boy on join
ing the club will receive 81. The boy
must deposit with his dollar so cents
to show good faith. Starting his bank
account with S150, each boy will re.
ceive one penny per day for three
years, and at the end of that period
h will receive an additional 81.

A Memorial of Peace.


When Russia asked of Japan per-
mission TO erect monument at Port
Arthur in memory of the soldiers of
the czar who perished In the defense
of the citadel the request was readily
acceded to- But Japan was not con-
tent with this perfunctory display OF
good feeling. She begged of the Rus
slams that Japan rather than Russia
be allowed to erect the monument.
And, Russia. not to be outdone in
generosity, consented 70 place the
work In the hands of the Japanese.
/ Recently the monument has been
dedicated At the exercises, which
were conducted by Drelates of the
Greek church. Russian and Japanese
troops who had fought against each
other at Port Arthur were present
side by side. on the historic battle
ground Gen. Nogi, a asJapanese ma
tional hero, officially represented the
mlkado, A spirit of complete forget
fulness was manifested by all who
took part in the celebration.
1t is difficult to decide which ma
ton merits the greater praise, the
Japanese or the Russians. The Jap
anese certainly acted most graciously
In desiring the honor Of erecting the
monument TO their fallen foes, while
the Russians acted scarcely less gem
erously in allowing the work to be
taken out of their hands. At any rate
the monument at Port Arthur should
stand as a lasting emblem of peace
between the two nations Cleveland

only half of Horace Robb's ambition

means 10 an end. And so, as fast as
his sturdy limbs could carry him, he
hastened 10 the outer world.
