BOLD BAD BURGLAR
BEATEN WITH A BAT
Athletic Servant Girl Dished Him Out
Surprise and Landed on Him
Like a Profesh SWatting
Two Bagger.

SEATTLE, May 21.-There is a bat
tered and disgusted burglar in this city
who has probably made VOW that he
will never again engage in a nefarious
pursuit until he has first ascertained
that there is no athletic servant girl
about the premises armed with base
ball paraphernalia,
Clara Anderson, employed in the
home of Leo S. Schwabacher president
of the Schwabacher Hardware COM
pany, was awakened last night by the
odor of gas turned on in her room
with the evident intention of asphyX
iating her She discovered a proWl
er in the bedroom of her mistress, who
was absent
She secured a baseball bat and ad-
vanced upon the burglar. With a
heavy swing she caught him in the
back of the neck and sent him sprawl
ing The robber regained his feet and
knocked the girl down with his fist,
but the plucky servant fought, being
an equal match for the invader.
In the scuffle the burglar dropped
jewelry valued at $4,000, but escaped
with $50.

Formal Complaint Lodged
With State Railroad
Commission
STAY IN THE CITY

No Order Is Made as Case
Is Already Before
the Courts.

Travelling in a special train, and ac-
cials, the Washington railroad COM
mission arrived in the city from Day
ton at 8:45 o'clock this morning, and
spent 15 minutes hearing complaints,
after which they were given an auto
ride about the city and left-immediate-
ly for Pasco, where they will take the
main line west to Sunnyside, and will
finish their hearing on the Northern
Pacific tomorrow at Lester.
But one complaint was made at this
point that being the matter of physi-
cal connection, whereby cars of the
Northern Pacific may be operated on
the o. R. & N. and vice versa. No or
der was made at this time, however, as
sides Of the issue will be taken into
consideration. Two years ago the
commission ordered similar connec-
ton in other points in the state, with
the result that it was taken into the
courts, the supreme court affirming the
decision of the commission. The o. r.
& n. company recently gave verbal
notice that it would take a further ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court, but members of the commission
are of the opinion that their orders
on the question in the interim should
not be held pending the final out
come.
At the time the former order for
physical connections was made. Walla
Walla was not included, for the reason
that such connections were at that time
in effect but have since been with
drawn. In speaking on the subject
this morning, John c. Lawrence, of the
commission, said the orders made thus
far regarding physical connections
should be unnecessary in view of the
fact that the state constitution and the
state law provides that "any railroads
of similar gauge having intersection
shall permit of an interchange of
transportation" and the orders are is
