how it happened, and the futility of an

which played the wit and humor Of
the Gridiron club at the annual fall

which turned national issues were
treated in a spirit of levity and fun.
Underlying each jest and quilp and
skit were touches of human sympathy
and kindness for the victims of the
November avalanche, as well as some
bits of homely advice and warning for
the victors, that kept everybody in
good humor.
Not even his late political enemies

that for holiness has never been

Imperial Limited" transcontinental
passenger train, leaving Vancouver at
7:45 p. M, was passing out of the city
limits.
A man disguised by black mask
boarded the train a mile and a half
out, entered the Pullman and at the
point of a revolver forced the passen-
gers and the Pullman conductor to
hand over their money and valuables.
The man dropped off the train just be-
fore it arrived at Barnet, which is six
miles from the city.
The total loss was $30S in bills, two
watches and one chain, one diamond
ring and two English sovereigns,
amounting to about $40. The conduc-
tor contributed $50 of the $9OS. There
is no trace of the robber
Other Passengers Unaware.
The holdup was done in such a fin
ished manner and with such nicely
planned time allowance that only the
Pullman car victims were aware of the
mans presence, consequently, while
the passengers of that car crouched
back from the menace of the bandit S
revolver and he swiftly went through
their pockets and travelling bags, the
train continued merrily on it's way.
The engineer pulled the whistle cord
as the train neared Barnet and the
bandit backed out of the Pullman
door, swung over the rear railing and
dropped Off The passengers still sat
still, a fraid to move. Seconds passed,
then by one impulse they leaped to
their feet and rushed forward through
the train. One of them found the con-
ductor and shouted out the news. He
reached up and jerked the signal cord
and the train came to halt at Barnet.
The Vancouver police were notified
and a posse set out in automobiles,
but no trace of the robber was found
The robber was a very tall, thin and
dark man.
Several recent holdups are charged
up to him.
The Canadian Pacific railway Off
Gals here offered a reward of $500 for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the bandit, but no de-

CIVIL SERVICE NOW IN NAVY
Over 10000 Skilled Workers Protected
Through New Order of Presi-
dent Taft


More than 10000 skilled workers in
the navy yards throughout the United
States were placed under the protec-
tion of civil service Saturday by execu-
tive order of President Taft. The
presidents order was issued with the
approval of the civil service commits
sion and in accordance with an opinion
by Attorney General Wickersham.
No navy yard employees below the
grade of skilled cechanics will be af-
fected by President Taft's order. A
recent conference of navy yard COM
mandants recommended that the men
be placed in the classified service, and
that was approved by Secretary Meyer
Toolmakers, electricians, stone cut
tiers, machinists, masons, molders,
ordnance men, plumbers and others
will be affected by this order. Until
eligible lists for the new classifications
can be prepared new appointments to
such positions will be made in the
regular way.
Rules for covering the 10000 men
into the classified service have been
approved by the secretary of the navy
and President Taft and will be made
known to the navy yard commandants
shortly. 1t is said that the order will
not displace any employees.
There will be less reason and less
incentive for the use of political in
fluence by applicants" say civil SER
vice officials.

London.-The prospects for a salts
