ful that, since the component parts Of the
empire are beginning to develop an indi-
viduality OF their own. English music may
attain a national style Of expression and
an English opera come into being. That

arguments. will use the English language

aliens temporarily here-arriving in
this country during the last IA

GOOD SAMARITAN is
ROBBED OF BIG SUM

San Francisco. Sept. 2S.-One of
the most daring and original hold
ups in the police annals of San Fran
cisco was committed early yesterday
morning when three masked men
lured Alexander OTIS, vice-president
and general manager of the Storage
Battery & Motor Company, into a va
cant house and robbed him of a wal
let containing $3.50.
OTIS was walking along McAllister
street at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
when he was attracted to a shed by
means and cries for help. On the
floor of the shed he found a man
lying on his back.
AS he stopped over the PROSTATE
and supposedly helpless figure, he
looked into the muzzle of a revolver
and was commanded to "dig up"
simultaneously two other robbers
jumped from barrels and backed OTIS
up aga nst the wall, relieving him OF
his valuables.

Boston, Jan. Ex-Governor Wood row Wilson today put Colonel Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, in the An nanias Club. The governor was shown copy of the press dispatches con- taining correspondence between Wat terson and Senator Tillman, given out in Washington last night. When he came to the paragraph in which Col onel Watterson asserts he had under taken to raise campaign funds "at Governor Wilson's instance" the New Jersey governor exclaimed, pounding his suit case with his fist:
 Great Scott, this is the most re- markable paragraph I ever read. What do you think of that. It is ab- solutely untrue"
 Then Governor Wilson dictated this statement:
 50 far as am concerned the statement that Colonel Watterson was requested to assist in raising money in my behalf is absolutely without foundation. Neither nor anyone authorized to represent me ever made such a request of him."
 How about the Harvey matter? Do you want to clear that up?" asked the reporters.
 "That question has cleared itself up. hasn't it?' Governor Wilson ask ed with emile.
 "Do you still think that Colonel Waterson Is nice old gentleman! he was asked.
 q have always had high regard for Colonel Watterson."
