WILSON MAY FOLLOW
DRY" DINNER PLAN
Bryan's Example Said to Be
Having Its Effect on Chief of
Executive Mansion.

VIII President Wilson follow the lead
of Secretary of State Bryan in institut-
ing a grape juice" regime?
This question Is going the rounds
among ambassadors, justices. Congress
men, and Senators, who have occasion
to partake of White House dinners
There is no answer yet but many
habitues of the White House offices are
inclined to believe that the Presidcn;
will put into effect his own temperance
views.
The last White House dinner was not
dry. but IT is said there is a good
chance for the future affairs being
strictly white ribbon"
President Wilson himself Is practically
q teetotaller. He has been known 10
drink glass of beer once or twice 4
year, but for some time past ne has
avoided the use of even light wines and
beer
The rumors that the grape juice
plan may go into effect at the White
House dinners has sent a chill down
the spines of many estimable gentle
men. who have always been accustomed
to little drink with dinners. Even
ahead of any temperance move on the
part of the President, these men are
beginning to dread the idea.
Democratic simplicity, they fear. will
take a new trail-the grape juice
blazed by Mr.. Bryan.

about to be sold Lamar represented
himself as the agent of Russell Sage

Foraker denied that Governor
Headley, referee in the disposition OF
the railroad property, had ever offered
to sell the road for $2S,000.000.
Lamar wanted Foraker to accept
employment In holding up the sale OF
the property at the low figure. For.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug 6.-The
mail car on the fast Louisville Il

bound from New Orleans, was board.
ed and robbed last night by two UNI
known white men who held up the
mail clerks. All the registered mail
was taken but no estimate of the
amount obtainable.
The train reached Birmingham on
time at S:37 o'clock and two of the
mail clerks, George Hoover and E. G.
York, were found handcuffed together
in such way that the irons had to
be filed from their wrists. The
thumbs of Chief Clerk Harry Everett
were securely DUdnd together with
heavy Irvine.
The robbers boarded the mail car
at Calera, on the side opposite the
station, as the train began to move.
The clerks said they Immediately
were covered with revolvers and or

idea of the value of registered mail
but declared that the robbers took it
all. Both were short, slender men,
he said, but he did not get a good
look at their faces as they were fore
ed to keep their own faces turned to
the wall. The clerks first saw the
robbers as they came aboard on their
hands and knees. One robber kept
his pistols leveled at the men while
the other ransacked the mail. The
distance from Calera to Birmingham
is 33 miles, so that they had plenty of
time to make a thorough job.
No one besides the mail clerks on
the train apparently knew the robbers
were aboard.
When the engineer stopped for the
Southern crossing at Fourteenth
street, Birmingham, he CHANGED to
look back and saw the two men jump
from the mail car door. This aroused
his suspicion and an investigation re-
vealed the handcuffed clerks.
A quick run then was made to the
Louisville & Nashville station, where
the alarm was given. Every police
station was notified and automobiles
with detectives are out in search OF
the robbers.
