LONE DESPERATE
HOLDS UP BANK;
SECURES $1,599
Bandit Is Believed to Be
Little More Than
Boy
ELUDES HIS PURSUERS
Three Officials Lined Up;
Makes Them Hand
Over Gold
rsnecinl to Tho Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. IA
lone bandit, armed with two SIX
shooters, and believed to be little more
than a boy, today entered the F1rst
National bank at Highland, lined up
the vice president, cashier and assist
ant cashier and escaped with $1599.
For five hours 15O persons searched
the orange groves into which the rob-
ber fled, but were unable to capture
him. Three times he fired at his pur-
suers, and it is believed finally evaded
them by joining their own ranks until
he was able to escape.
The robber entered the bank shortly
before 2 o'clock, and drawing two re-
volvers ordered Cashier McTaylor and
Assistant Cashier J. D. Tundell to
hold up their hands. Vice President
Johnstone entered the bank moment
later and, keeping the two officials
covered with one revolver, he leVeled
the other at Johnstone and ordered
him inside with the other men. He
then ordered them to push out to him
the gold and currency stacked on the
counter. He refused SILVER.
Fires Shot and Runs
Taking the money he backed out of
the door, t1fed one SlOL III C1l9 dir anu
ran a few hundred feet down the side
walk of the main street of the town
and plunged into an orange grove.
The officers here were Immediately
notified and Sheriff John Ralphs with
Chief Of Police w. A. Shay, with a
dozen deputies, were on the ground in
a short time. The first officers took
up the trail half an hour after the
holdup. The robber was easily tracked
and was finally surrounded in the j.
NJ. Leavens orange grove, a half mile
square. Citizens armed with all kinds
of weapons joined the posse in large
numbers.
May Have Joined Searchers
He was unable to be located
in the thickly planted trees. An hour
later A. A. Roseberry, livery man,
riding on horseback, when the grove
was being systematically searched, a
hundred men marching from one end
to the other, saw him crouching under
a tree. He fired at Roseberry and
once at another member of the posse
Several men saw him, but the robber
again escaped, and it is believed joined
the ranks of the. searchers. 1t is
thought he is the man who gave away
his revolvers to two members of the
posse and who also secured a hat, he
having dropped his own.
At different points in the grove were
found his coat, hat, four loaded shells
where he had been lying under tree
and $40 in money. He secured in all
$1599.

REPUBLICANS OF
ARIZONA PROTEST
Declare If Statement Is Denied by
Present Congress Thousands of
Voters Will Be AIienated
from the G. o. P.

DOUGLAS, Feb. 11.-At the mass
meeting of the Republican club of
Douglas tonight the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted and or
dered wired to Delegate Cameron at
Washington.
The hall was packed to the doors and
the resolution was passed with en-
thusiasm:
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the Republican club of Douglas, Ariz.
note with exceeding regret the humil-
iating qualifications which it is sought
by the senate committee on territories
to attach to the statehood bill for Ari-
Zona, and that we call upon our men,
ber in congress, Hon. Ralph Cameron,
to use all the means at his command
to defeat the so-called Dillingham; bill
and to have passed in it's place the
Hamilton bill, which unanimously
passed The house and which grants
statehood to Arizona unqualifiedly and
in accordance with the sacred pledge of
the Republican national platform.
"Resolved, That the people of Ari-
zona are of distinctly American type;
that public education is on a higher
plane than in any other territory ever
admitted to the Union; that in popula-
tion and material resources the terri
tory OF Arizona meets every require
ment for statehood; more so than any
territory admitted in the past fifty
years, and therefore makes this appeal
on the grounds Of qualification and
justice only.
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this club that the passage of an un-
qualified statehood bill by the present
session of congress means that Arizona
will take her place firmly in the Re-
publican column, while on the other
hand, to deny statehood, or postpone
statehood until the president and con-
gress shall have passed on Arizonas
constitution, which is the business Of
Arizona and of Arizona alone, will
ALLEVIATE thousands of voters and at
least greatly endanger the success of
the Republican party in the initial
state, and in the territorial election of

congressman Declare Discovery of the
North Pole of No Benefit to
United States and With
hold Laurels Asked
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb 11.-Command-
er Robert e. Peary, discoverer of the
north pole, will not be given the rank
of rear admiral in the navy, as pro-
posed, in recognition of his services as
an explorer, if congress approves the
action of the subcommittee of the
house committee on naval affairs.
The subcommittee voted today to re-
port adversely the bill offered by Sem
ator Hale and Representative Allen.
The committee of six members voted
unanimously against bestoWing the
honor upon Mr.. Peary.
A letter from Secretary Meyer was
received by the naval committee giving
Mr.. Peary's naval record and stating
he should be designed as civil en-
gineer" and not commander"
Secretary Meyer said Mr.. Peary en-
listed in the navy on October 26, 1881,
and that he had had more than ten
years in various leaves of absence. The
secretary spoke of Mr.. Peary's diScoV-
cry of the pole as a self imposed, but
most commendable task, having no
military or naval slgnlncance, and
recommended that Mr.. Peary be re-
tired as civil engineer with the pay
of rear admiral.
S6eS mo reason
Representative Roberts of Massachu-
setts, a member of the subcommittee,
said he saw no reason whatever for
comforting such an honor as was con-
templated upon Mr.. Peary
His discovery of the north pole,'
said Mr. Peary, has been absolutely of
no benefit to the United States, to civ
iliZation or to the naval service, as far
as L can see. He has been absent from
duty in the navy department most of
the time he has been connected with it,
and has done nothing to entitle him to
this honor.
Il think congress probably might look
with favor upon giving him some other
kind of recognition. For instance, if
his friends wanted him to receive a
gold medal or something Of that sort,
| would be in favor of it,.
but am not in favor of giving Mr..
Peary a pension for what he has done.
L don't think he is entitled TO it."
The subcommittee which took action
today consisted of Messrs. Butler, Rob-
erts, Bates, Englebright, Gregg and Ba-
con.
Representative Dawson was absent.
The salary that Mr.. Peary would have
received as a rear admiral, retired, for
the rest of his life would have been
$4,000 year.

Use Of Money in Politics.

A man who solicits votes for hire is
corrupt and an undesirable citizen. He
prostitutes the confidence and betrays
the trust of his friends and neighbors.
How many voters would follow the
suggestion Of these leeches if they
knew that their advisers were paid to
influence them and that the adviser was
not disnterested 1t would be wen Tor
the voters Of Wisconsin, who have been
following the advice of would-be pub
lie spirited citizens, to investigate
carefully to determine whether their
advisors are not on the pay roll of
some candidate.
The voter, who permits himself to
be influenced by considering personal
friendship, personal obligations, bus
mess advantages or financial assist
ance. is prostituting the right of suf-
frage, which has been won only after
a thousand years Of persistent effort
and the sacrifice of the lives and prop
erty Of millions Of patriotic men.
When Robert NJ. La Toilette awaken
ed the public mind to the truth and
vital Importance of these principles,
he made for himself a place in history,
among the worlds great leaders Of
men, which his position on any par
ticular matter Of legislation can neither
add to nor detract from.

Iowa County in the Assembly.

To the citizens of Iowa county the
question of representation in the legis-
lature is Of no small Importance We
should be represented by man of in
tellectual fitness, Of force and keen
conception, a man whose word is as
good as his bond and whose character
is beyond reproach, a man Of individu-
atty. a conscientious counselor for the
welfare of the masses, leader, not a
follower. Such a man is Hon. Platt
Whitman. Then vote for him.
Some brand him as a stalwart Yes,
he is, just as portrayed above. But he
believes in the primary, in that its YER
dict should be final and binding. Not
being a political trickster, nor some
other person candidate, Mr. Whitman
naturally possesses the good to be found
in both standpatters and progressives.
