BY MEMBERS OF

guage was INDUCED in and venomous
feeling aroused in the house of COM
mons this afternoon over the retire
ment of Vice Admiral Sir Francis
Bridgeman-Bridgeman from the posi-
ton of first sea lord of the admiralty.
Admiral Lard Charles Beresford, who is
a member of the house, and First Lord
of the Admiralty Churchill reviled
each other to the utmost allowed in
parliament. "Backstairs Methods -
'bribes, threats, -"gross insinuations'
and "skulking" were some of the
choice phrases exchanged.
Beresford charged Churchill with
pursuing a policy of bribes and
threats. If, he said, the sea lords dis
agreed with ChurchilTs autocratic as
sumption and executive will as an ad-
ministrative authority, they were dis
missed in insolent letters.
Churchilrs reply was crisp and
stinging. He stuck to his guns in say
ing he had written Bridgeman insist

count of the admiral's health render

FRUSTRATE PLAN
TO ROB u Mint

Denver, Col, Dec. 20.-A plot to
dynamite the Denver mint and make
way with $5O0,OOO,000 stored in its
vaults, or as much as the robbers
could carry, was frustrated when the
con5a: :ators lost their comprehensive
plans in the public comfort station of
the Iostofflce.
The guards at the mint have been
doubled, the police are patrolling the
viCinlly nightly, and all precautions
are taken to prevent an attempt at
robbery.
Washington became alarmed and
the employees of the mint were in daily
and nightly fear of annihilation. The
plans called for the use of enough
nitroglycerin to have wrecked the
handsome building and many others
with it.
When the superintendent of the
public comfort station found the
memoranda a week ago he turned the
document over to the federal officers
/ who sent it to Washington. Superin
Itendent FRANK Downef or the mint
WAS notified and the force of guards
| increased at night.
The plans contemplated tunneling
under the building to reach the CEN
| ter of the structure where the vaults
are They were then to work for
weeks or months and drill upwards 70
the inner chamber which contains the
safes. A dozen men were to be on
hand to rush the guards, if possible
after the explosion occurred, and car
ry off some of the millions before the
public knew what was going on in
side.
| Every man was to occupy fixed
position in the mint and in the sur
rounding territory. Even though they
failed to get the money in the vaults
which are considered as impregnable
as Gibraltar, the men planned to blow
the safes in the cashiers Office anC
possibly get away with several thous
and dollars.
The total amount of coin and bul
lion on hand at the Denver mint il
now said to be S5O0sOOO,00O.
Secret Service Agent Rowland K
Goddard was not only evidently an
royed but angry when he was asked
for a statement as to the truth of tht
report that the plans had been foun(
and the mint was now under a double
, guard. He refused to discuss the mat
