jurist who had gone before him con-
stituted today the solemn business of
the supreme court of the United States.

of the late Chief Justice Melvin W.

The little courtroom was crowded.
Conspicuous among the spectators were

Thirty desks had been ripped open

in almost every instance stamps and
money were missing. The combination
OF every safe in the building had been

notified Sullivan to be on hand the

torney, saying that the case must go

A performance of "The Mikado'' is to
be given by the Schubert club on the
evening of October Is, after the game
between the freshmen Of Stanford and
California. The cast of characters for
the play was selected several weeks
ago. and rehearsals have been in prog
ress almost since the beginning of the
semester and the piece is almost ready
for production.
MISS Alberta Hanna is cast in the
heavy part of Katisha. and the other
leading woman's role of Yum Yum Is
to be taken by Ruth Robertson. Hol-
lister Mcguire has the leading male
role of Nanki-Pooh.
The staging for the piece and the
costumes are elaborate. One of the
features of the performance is the size
of the chorus, which has been rehears-

There is hardly any clew to lead to
the capture of the robbers. In spite Of
the opportunity to steal quantities of
cigars and samples of wines and
liquors. novelties. and jewelry, nothing
was taken except money and stamps.
j. A Williamson, the night watch
man, told Superintendent Huntington
that he was in the building constantly
during Saturday night and was on
every floor several times before morn
ing. 1t is thought probable that by
operating swiftly the men may have
turned the trick Sunday morning.
