Wright remarked to Mir Sturgis that "thosc fellows ought not to do that; they might shoot, or get into some trouble" Mir. Sturgis assentcd to the observation in very natural way. But in less time than the re- cital takes the two men had wheeled and commanded "hands up." At the first command, they still thought 1t was only joeular performance, and, of course. made no move to obey.
 About that time n passenger close to the bandits, who seemed little sleepy and oblivious as 10 what was going on, received hard blow over the head, administered by one of the robbers with a gun, which brought the passenger's blood into evidence, and with a second command for "hands up."

BIG SAVING IS CLAIMED
GOVERNMENT PROFIT IN MI
CROSCOPIC TESTS OF SUGAR.
DR.. Wiley Estimates That His Blu
reau Has Been Worth SO, 900, 900
in Twelve Years on One Line
of Work.

DIR. Wiley believes he has saved the
government $1O.OOO,0GO in the last twelve
years on sugar tests alone. He told this
to the House committee on expenditures
in the Agricultural Department this
morning, adding that every dollar spent
by the bureau of chemistry saves the
government. $780,
DIR. Wiley declined to make any COM
nlent concerning, the benzoate of soda
board. but said. when asked who sug-
gested its creation, that President Roose
Welt once had asked him to attend a
meeting of certain manufacturers at the
White House at which protests We're
made against his rulings, and some higher
reviewing authority suggested 1t.
Referring to the investigation in con-
nection with cold storage eggs the gov
decomposition of these products not only
impaired their flavor, but proved bad in
another way, through the possible devel-
opment of a poison.
Here is what DR.. Wiley had to say
about saving the government money.
Every dollar we have spent in the
laboratory has saved Uncle Sam 500.
The work of the chemistry bureau has
saved the government vast amount OF
money. In the twelve years that | had
charge of the microscopic tests of sugar
at the various ports under an arrange
ment between the Secretary of Agriculture
and the Secretary of the Treasury for
my appointment, 1 think / can say with
out boasting that l saved the United
States government 31O,OOO,O00."

AULD WAS CHVALROUS
DEFENSE SET UP BY COUNSEL,
MAJ. LEONARD.

BOSTON. February. 4.Chivalry was
the defense which the counsel for Pay
master George P. Aud offered in his ar
gument before the naval court-martial
yesterday when he asked for the dis
charge of the young officer, accused In
three counts in connection with an alter
cation with DR.. Z. s. Cowles of Boston
over Miss Dorothy Hesler of Evanston,
Ill. as
Maj. F. S. Catlin, the judge advocate,
asked for finding of guilty on two of
the three counts. First, for conduct I'm
becoming an officer and gentleman, and.
second, for assault on DR.. Cowles,
civilian. The third count, that of false
hood, was eliminated
The court heard arguments at a two
hour session in the afternoon. Maj.
Leonard spoke for an hour and a half i'll
behalf of Mr.. Aud Maj. Catlin, the
Judge advocate, occupied less than fifteen
minutes.
Then the court took the matter into Sc

At Washington can publish it's find .ngs.
DE. A. s. Robnett, coupled with Pay
master Aud in the original charges, will
be tried Monday. None of the evidence
produced at the Auld trial during the
past three days can be used in the trial
of DIR. Robnett.
Mai. Catlin spoke first, claiming it
had been clearly shown that Mr.. Aud
had overstepped the bounds, and that
she had assumed authority which he did
not have. He did not think Mr.. Aud
was justified in any of his actions.
: Maj. Leonard dwelt upon the fact that
Miss Hesler, around whom the contest
seems to have centered, was the daughter
of dead naval officer, and entitled to
the protection of her fathers comrades.
He claimed that DIR. Cowles should not
have kept her picture or tried to make
an appointment with her.
1t was chivalrous act the part
of any naval oincer TO protect her. he

Fifty submarines are wanted by the

government documents.
If the western delegations succeed In
their campaign in the House the chances
for the building of strong submarine

lieved to be excellent. The Senate naval

About three years ago Eta started Tor

her youngest child is not over year DID,

was in the pleasant fall of the year and
the walking was good. Illinois farmers
helped her on her Way, giving her many
lifts on hay wagons, so Eta and the chill
dren got to Minneapolis and applied to
the organized charities there.
They looked into the woman's case.
The letter which they sent to Secretary
Wilson says she took to living in squalid
rooming houses there, and that an effort
was made to get the courts to separate
her from her children. Nothing was done

BOLD THIEF ATTACKS
JEWELER IN STORE

Considerable excitement was
caused shortly before 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon when a stranger
entered the store of Wachek and
Bernath, watchmakers and jewellers
at 481 State street, and assaulted
John Wachek and tried to make way
with the contents Of the safe.
Wachek was working at his bench
repairing watches when a stranger
entered the store and demanded
money. Upon the refusal of the de-
mand the stranger made several
passes at Wachek and finally landed
on his head a blow which at first
stunned the proprietor of the store,
who was behind the showcases.
The robber went to the safe,
which was open. Wachek in the
meantime regained consciousness
and attacked the man. After fight
ing with the man for nearly ten min
utes he at last succeeded In ejecting
him from his place of business.
Wachek, although making no com
plant to the police of the affair,
says that at the time it occurred he
was unable to find an officer.
