PULLMAN ROBBED
BY HIGHWAYMEN
BANDITS ENTER CAR AT ITS
DESTINATION
Same Train Meets with Second Holdup
Within a Few Weeks and This
Time Highwaymen Sc
cure $4o0

DENVER, March 25.--Two highway
men entered a Pullman car in the
Denver e. Rio Grande yards at West
Denver early today, held up the pas
sengers, six in number, and the con-
duetor and porter and got away with
about $400 in cash.
The only woman passenger, Mrs. N.
r. Hussey, was not molested, The car
was part of Denver & Rio Grande train
No. 4, which was held UP at Military
Junction a few weeks ago. The train
was several hours late in reaching
Denver, and the passengers, of the
Pullman were not awakened, but the
car was backed down into the yards
at West Denver to wait until morning.
About five minutes after the engine
had been detached James F. Bruce. the
colored porter, was dragged out of his
berth by two men, who threatened to
kill him If he made an outcry. One of
the two men stood guard over Bruce
while the other awoke the occupants
of the car lined them up with the por-
ter and searched them. N. r. Hussey
of Boothbay Harder, Me-, was relieved
of $50.
William N. Wallace of Muscatine.
Iowa, was relieved of SLAP; C. w. Crif-
fey of the Alta Mining and Smelling
company of Florence. Ariz., was re-
lieved of $110. and A. w. Forest of CO.
lumbus, Ohio, gave up about $780,
The robbers took nothing but money.
After completing their work the rob-
bers marched the passengers, con-
ductor and porter into compartment
at one end of the car, closed the door
upon them and then rushed to the
other end of the car and jumped off.

an honest administration stay
away from the polls in the belief
that the victory is already won,
the corrupt machine forces who
have lined up to a man for the

This is the final statement of
the campaign committee which
has been leading the fight for
Alexander's election as mayor of
Los Angeles. The eyes of the
nation are centered on Los An
geles today, for here, the first
time in the history of American
municipalities, the recall provision
put in operation against a mayor
will be the issue at the polls.
Every scheme known in the arts
OF the political machine leaders
will be used to drum votes for
Wheeler, the Socialist candidate
for mayor. AT the last minute he
was openly indorsed by an even
ing paper opposed to the recall,
and copies of that paper with a
circle drawn around statement
of the machines reasons for sup
porting Wheeler were given away
on the streets last night and
placed on all the saloon bars.
Push" for Wheeler
The newspaper statement,
which the machine says refers to
"this unusual political situation" /"
details the reasons why the
push" finds Wheeler good
enough for them. Briefly these
reasons are that Mr.. Wheeler is
harmless, that he is not Socialist
except in name, is usually con-
servative and that he would be
fgurehead in the office. with
no other candidate on the ticket
says the machines statement,
wheeler is the alternative to
Alexander" That is supposed to
be reason enough for the faithful
who vote as the Organization"
dictates.

day in tour of the saloons, but
this work was soon taken out OF
their hands by the push" work

FLEMING GIVES TESTIMONY

The indictment of Schenck followed a
day of strenuous effort on the part of
the special grand jury. Subdued ex-
citement prevailed in and about the
jury room throughout the day, and it
was apparent early in the session that
the jurors and their advisers attached
more than ordinary interest to the pro-
ceedings.
H. Lee Clotworthy, newspaper man,
was the first witness yesterday. He re-
manned in the secret chamber a COM
paratively short time, and was sue
ceeded by e. J. Fleming, former city
prosecuting attorney now member
Fleming. Mr.. Flemine said he had re-
ceived no subpoena calling for his pres
ence in the jury room, but came in re-
sponse to a telephone message. He left
the jury room about noon, refusing to
make any statement as to what trans
pired behind the locked and guarded
doors.
Schenck and Savage There
Sam Schenck and Tom Savage. both
of whom had been waiting call dur
ing the forenoon, were again on hand
at o'clock. after the noon adjourn
ment. A half hours delay, and Schenck
was called into the room. Savage being
excused. Two hours later Schenck
emerged. followed closely by District
Attorney Fredericks, who went to the
Office of his chief assistant. C. C. Nc
Comas. The known fact that Mr.. Nc
Comas had prepared the indictment
against Nick Oswald, former king of
the tenderloin, at once led to the con-
clusion that similar documents were
in course of preparation, and this belief
was strengthened a few moments later
when a stenographer wcs called into
Mr. McComas' room.
At o'clock Schenck returned to the
grand jury room. An hour and a half
later he emerged. A few whispered in
structions by District Attorney Fred
ericks to Bert Rico, the deputy sheriff
standing guard at the jury room door,
and Schenck was under surveillance
and practically in custody.
Shortly after Z o'clock District At
torney Fredericks and his deputies
Horton, Ford. McComas, Blair and
McCormick-left the grand jury room
and the investigators took vote on
the question of returning the indict-
ment. 1t was more than a half hour

CASTRO ANXIOUS

FORMER VENEZUELAN RULER
WILL BROOK NOTHING
Deposed President Declares Not Even
Resort to Revolution viii Pre-
vent Him Carrying Out
His Mission

PARIS, March 25.-Cipriano Castro,
the former president of Venezuela. and
the members of his party left this city
this morning for Bordeaux.
At the railroad station Senor Castro
confided to a small group of Venezuelan
adherents and admirers his intention
of re-establishing his power in Venez-
uela by d revolution, should this be
necessary. After entering the car,
where he donned the gilt embroidered
skull cap that has figured in every
description of Castro when he was an
occupant of the Yellow House at Cara
cas- the deposed president of Venezuela
leaned from a window and spoke to
his countrymen with an earnestness
and passion which left no doubt in
their minds that he was convinced chat
he was another Napoleon returning
from Elba to reconquer his country. =
Like Francis l, all is lost save
honor" former President Castro de-
clared. 81 am going back to Venezuela.
My country needs me and my mis-
sion"
Castro declared that his trip to Eu-
rope had been misunderstood, both at
home and abroad. He had come to the
continent not only because he needed
medical treatment. but also to serve
his country by interesting foreign capt.
tai in Venezuelan industry.
He spoke bitterly of the treachery
of Juan Vicente. Gomez and predicted
that those now in control of the state
would drive the country into bank
ruptcy. In conclusion, Castro denounced
as lies the stories of his fabulous
wealth and said he was not even rich
enough to remain in Europe. where,
furthermore, life had no attractions
for him. His impassioned nature, he ex-
planned, yearned for activity and forced
him again into the tumult. As the
train pulled out of the station Cas-
tro's parting words were:
IT believe that God and destiny Will
call me back to Venezuela. I intend
to accomplish my mission there, even
though it involves revolution"
