Crowley was apparently the same man
who gave the orders at the first hold
up.
He leaped TO the street, and with an
oath, ordered the crew of the car to
git"
And don't tell anybody about this,
either - you!' he added, with a
string of oaths.
Meanwhile the first car was speed
ing toward town At Broadway the
crew encountered Policeman Boand, to
whom they told their tale He imme-
diately notified the Central Station and
a squad was sent to the scene of the
robberies. No trace could be found OF
the three masked thugs. Sergeant
Lane and Corporal Dowd and posse
of seven patrolmen secured the Bar
barry Coast and North Beach all night
but to no purpose.
The squad of policemen hurrying tc
the scene of the robbery had a narrow
escape. They had run from the Cen
trail Station to Kearny, and took pos
! session of car going north. The!
ordered the motoTman to put his car a
the topspeed notch. AS they were
whirling down Powell-street Gill to
ward Bay he did not see the seconC
car that had been held up, as the troll
ley was still off.
The relief car crashed into the Other
splintering the woodwork and wreck
ing it so badly that it had to be towe
to the barn. The policemen jumpe
before the crash came and nobody wa

No trace of the ships library which
President Roosevelt presented for the
American Seamen's Friend Society in
mis- maiden speech, forty years ago, has
been discovered by the officers of that
organization today. That this chest OF
books, which was launched on the
clipper ship Rival by the President in
his tenth year, may still be tossing on
the high seas was proved possible by
the return this week of a similar
library which was sent on its travels
October II, 1866, two years before the
Roosevelt Athletic Glass" sent out
theirs. Records of the 25 742 book
chests circulated by the society since
1859 show, however, that a life of
forty-two years for these volumes in
| the forecastle is exceptional.
Whether Captain Uriel Doane, who
set sail for San Francisco on December
70, 1868, with the books presented by
young Roosevelt, is still alive, or
whether ship or crew survive to tell
| the tale of their fate, cannot be deter
mined here today because of a fire
years ago which destroyed all shipping
records. Only one report, however
was received by the society on the cor
responding library shipped two years
before for Galveston and just now
finally returned On December 16, 1878,
this book chest was reported trans"
ferred to the Piscataqua, a Gloucester
fishing craft. It's return by express
from it's forty-two years of service by
Captain Israel Bartlett of this vessel

five years.

was talking with Motorman Frank
Johnson. Both thugs wore white
masks and held revolvers.
Throw up your hands," ordered the
taller of the two thugs, who was over
six feet in height.
The carmen complied instantly, after
the motorman had stopped the car. The
thugs methodically went through the
pockets of their victims. From Birch
they secured $50 in coin, and from
Johnson a few dollars more.
The thugs then dismounted from the
car and leveled their revolvers at
the motorman and conductor. GO on,
and don't you tell anybody, you"
shouted the tall man.
Johnson shot his car ahead at full
speed and the vehicle whirled on to
Lombard street There it met car No.
1886 of the same line.
Birch and Johnson stopped their car
! and told the crew of the second car of
the robbery. H. r. Cocheran was the
conductor and G. Crowley the motor
man of the other car. Crowley and
Cocheran seemed to thing that the tale
was a hoax, for they sped on toward
the terminus.
Just as this car stopped two men in
white masks sprang aboard, while a
third jerked the trolley from the wire
leaving the motorman and conductor
/ in darkness.
One of the thugs pressed a revolver
against the breast of Motorman Crow

money Crowley permitted the thug to

The Seaman's Book Chest

These records show that 61S,4 400 vol
umes have been read by 442, 230 sea-
men, while 129,315 jackies of Uncle
Sans service have read 9415 books
especially sent out in Navy bottoms.
More than $50 of these chests of books
have been reported as in use in United
States life-saving stations, where 1927
keepers and surfmen have read their
1886 volumes Each library is num-
bered and registered, and reports Of its
voyagings made to any one who may
launch and keep it ahoat by paying
500.
A weather-beaten case of these books
is today awaiting reshipment an the
societys headquarters after having
served for two years on board the
Peary Arctic Clubs steamer Roosevelt
in quest of the North Pole. During
the long Arctic night from October
18th to March 9th, Lieutenant Peary
declared every book was read and re-
read by every member of his crew.
These libraries, of which almost 300
have been sent to sea this year, con-
tain forty-three volumes of travel and
adventure, biography, reference and
religion A Bible, dictionary, atlas
and Pilgrims Progress" are included
with many of the latest and most suit
able works of poetry and fiction. Half
a dozen of these books are in the Swe-
dish, German and Norwegian tongues.
Records of the 100 libraries sent
through the society as a memorial to
the heir of Aberdeen by the Dowager
Duches of Aberdeen in 1870 show that
many of the books dedicated to this
wandering George Gordon" who left
a dukedom to follow the sea and be
swept overheard, still travel the seas

His home is at Norfolk. and convocation

a struggling country parish. The country
parson had been endeavoring to secure some
money from the bishops fund" intended for
the aid of needy parishes Several appeals
had been made to the Bishop by letter, and in
person during the convocation. The Bishop
had promised to attend to the matter
At the beginning of night service he said
to the minister in question. Come over to
my house when service is | wish to talk
to YOU about certain matter" The clergy
man was jubant AS the Bishop appeared
to have forgotten the appointment he was
reminded of it. and the two sought the epis-
copal residence The clergyman noticed that
his superior appeared to be struggling to re-
member something.

The Plays Mixed

DURING one of his tours in this country.
when the late Sir Henry Irving was play
ing Twelfth Night in New York. he revealed
absent mindedness. and greatly amused the
members of his company and the audience
As Malvolio. he was expressing surprise at a
remark of Sir Toby
DO you know what you say?" he asked
To his surprise a roar of laughter echoed
through the house, and his stage associates
were convused
He repeated the line putting undue. en-
phasis on the pronoun. and again the audience
shouted with laughter
1t was not until after the performance he
learned that quite unconsciously he had been
parodying the well known words of The
Private Secretary His only explanation
was that it was done in a bit of forgetfulness
while thinking of the other play

made Irving famous he CHANGED to meet Dillon.
and was outspoken in his delight
Dillon looked him over. finally remarking
that he had no recollection of him. Irving
reminded him of the tour they had made to-
gether. and ment med his name Dillon

to dawn upon him, he extended his hand

Lord Dudley's Remissness

SYDNEY SMITH narrated a number of
- stories of the absent mindedness of Lord
street one day Smith was amused by Dudley's
overtaking him, linking his arm in that of his
pastor, and telling him in all earnestness that
he should like for him above all things to meet
Sydney Smith. Without revealing his iden-
tity, Smith returned that he had met the
man on several occasions. and fastened
away.
One Sunday Dudley occupied seat almost
directly under the pulpit where Smith was
delivering one of his strongest sermons
CHANGING down, he was forced almost to laugh
outright as his Lordship, grasping his heavy
cane. knocked on the floor. and calculated.

extremely absent minded He attended a
church meeting where there large num-
Der of persons AS his presence was known it
was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to
quote the poets lines:
Il know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air:
l only know l cannot drift
Beyond His love and care
Great applause greeted the quotation. and
Whittier was noticed to join in the hand
clapping. Il suppose l must have had my
mind on something else l had no recollection
of having written the verse, he said apollo
getically, when his attention called to the

was of an absent minded astronomer. who.

thus engaged daylight arrived After awhile
the astronomer stumbled to bed. telling him

A Maricopa county farmer won the prize at the Irrigation Congress at Albuquerque for the best gathering of wheat and oates raised on the same ranch, which was to be a pair of mules, offered by man named Hand. Now Hand won't hand over the mules claiming that he meant any rancher in New Mexico. Hand kicks harder than a mule on deliv- ering anything to Arizona.

Congress convened Monday and adjourned for the day Delegate elect Cameron, Gov. Kibbcy and Delegate Smith were all on the ground working for statehood. If there is any possibility of getting any such law through at the short session they will undoubtedly get it. In his message to Congress the President says:
 advocate the immediate admis- sion of New Mexico and Arizona as states. This should be done at the present session of congress. The people of the two territories have made it evident by their votes that they will not come in as one state. The only alternative is to admit them as two, and trust that this will be done without delay.
