New York, June 15.-An automo-
bile containing eight men pulled up in
front Of the Hotel Roy. on west Thir-
ty-fifth street near Broadway, about
one o'clock this morning and when the
men all lined UP before Charles Sim
mons, the night clerk Zach of them
held a revolver and ordered the clerk
to- stand hack while they explored the
cash drawer to the open safe. There
was nothing for the clerk to do and
the intruders quickly scooped out
$16C in bills. Then the men filed out
the last one covering the clerk with
his revolver until all were outside. AS
soon as he was free the clerk grabbed
his own own gun from a drawer and
tired i've shots to call the police. He
was so quick about that he got a re-
sponse from a Broadway patrolman
before the robbers could crank their
automobile and get started. The pa
trolman captured the last two Of the
men and found in the pockets Of them
a roll Of bills twice the Eaxe of
that which the hotel clerk had lost.

count. Secretary Roots amendment
will be killed by a comfortable major
ity in the same body, say the men who
have studied the situation for Taft.
The president has expressed his con-
viction that the combination Of Re-
publicans and Democrats will defeat
the amendment and that two thirds
of the senate will vote for the BILL
The second day Of debate on the bill
was field day for the opposition led
by Nelson in a prepared speech, a
number of senator's took part in the
running debate that marked the clos
ing period of his address, At adjourn
ment, Penrose, in charge Of the BILL
expressed the opinion that general de-
bate will not be of as great duration
as had been predicted.
Nelson is radically antagonistic to
the bill and a spirited debate among
the Republican senator's was precip-
itated over the effect of the Root
amendment dealing with paper and
wood pulp.
Smith of Michigan. asserted the
effect would be to give Canadians
free trade in paper, and pulp, and not
to give it to us.
Nelson charged the Canadians had
not only fooled us into putting agri-
cultural products on the free list but
annually fooled the president as to his
treaty making powers.
The debate will be resumed at noon
tomorrow.
