vate information that she has received
TO the effect that he has fallen victim

The correspondent expresses the be-
lief that Yesterday report Of Colonel

nothing is to be gained by concealment
Of the facts in the case were Colonel

TAFT MAY CHANGE
TEST FOR OFFICERS
Many Believe He viii Make Exer-
else Regular, and Not Once

Army officers here are speculating on
the possibility Of President Taft going
one better than his predecessor on the
question of the annual physical test for
officers of the service.
President Roosevelt ordained an an
nual test of physical fitness-hOrseback
or walking-and there is belief here that
The ARMY surgeon general in his forth
coming report may recommend change
and put the matter up 10 the present
executive.
The impression prevails that If Presi-
dent Taft takes up the problem he Will
require that the exercises, whether
walking or riding. shall be regular and
not annual, with the further provision
that commanding officers shall certify
to this performance OF their subOrdi-
mates.

among the shoppers.
And there was such a tempting
array of early novelties, toys, and
Christmas specialties displayed that
many who came merely to look re-

IMPROVEMENT IN TOYS.
New ideas in the toy line embrace
current history to the extent of
typifying the Peary-Cook contro-
versy, Roosevelt's trip to Africa, and
a Billy POssum in the place Of the
Teddy bear. improvements and
variations have ben made in the
Teddy bear and other ideas which
lead TO endless surprise at tie fer
tile minds Of the manufacturers.
Two or three years ago the Teddy
bear made its appearance. II was
the first of the jointed animals, and
It made a hit The manufacturers
could not supply the trade. But
this year that idea Of the jointed
animal is shown in a dozen different
forms.
Billy Possum.
The would-be successor Of the Teddy
Bear, the Billy Possum. comes out this
year in many shapes at many prices.
Length Of tail and Quality or fur and
variety Of color all enter to make the
different kinds.

do various other stunts. Along with
them may be purchased those two ex-
plorers themselves. and a few polar
bears with long swinging necks. if they
are desired.
Great Variety.
In great variety these animals ana

Along similar line are the Douikens /

They are made in all colors and all

ROBSERY AS TRADE.
Santa Clara Gang Proposed to Loot
Many Banks.

Santa Clara CAL, Aug. 16.-Still
concerning their identity, but talking
freely of the daring 81, 900 robbery in
which they were the principal actors
Friday, the twn boys captured at Sun
nyvale by Sheriff Langford were
brought here for arraignment on a
charge of robbery.
To Sheriff Langford, who captured
them, the young men made a startling
confession. Joe Willetts, who appears
to be leader of the gang, said he and
his companion had planned series of
bank robberies that would have created
a reign of terror in financial circles.
So far had their plans matured, that
on Thursday, with a hired automobile
awaiting their return, they entered the
First National bank, in the heart of
Oakland, and calmly weighed the
chance Of making their escape with q
fortune.
"This Santa Clara robbery was only
an experiment, said the youthful rob
Der, after making this revelation.
"We intended, if it was successful, to
go after bigger and richer institution
next time and to clean up big money
before we were through.
1--WE purchased a machine in Oak
land and had it remain just around the
corner, as we did in Fridays job. Carr
and / went to the First. National bank
about u O'Clock and locked the place
over. We were well armed, and if
there lad not been so many clerks and
so many people passing outside, we
would have held up the cashiers and
tellers and tried to escape with all the
money in sight"
