s0daHsdc experiment. 1t is the government asylum for the insane, one of the
most remarkable scientific institutions in the world. Here come psychologists
from all over the United States to work in the psychological laboratory, as
well Is many eminent anenists from abroad, who, while coming to observe and
study, bring many new and interesting theories with them. For the last 20
years thu asylum has been under the superintendent of DIR. William A. White,
a psychologist of the modern school and a admirable executive who has
worked ut the present unique system by which all necessities are produced
by the patients within the confines of the grounds. AS a n economic expedent
not much can be said in favor of the system, since the great majority of the
articles manufactured could be bought very much cheaper direct from factories,
but the work serves to keep the patients occupied and contented.
Every day any number of patients may be seen laboring busly about the
place, cutting the grass, working the farm and feeding the poultry and cattle
and if it were lot for the pathetic similarity If expression m their faces, the
broad iron bars o the windows of the houses and the high brick wall which
completely surrounds the grounds you would imagine that Uncle Sam was
conducting a summer agricultural and industrial college.
st Ehzabeths, as the asylum is called, was established by the government
in 1856, primarily for the military insane, although it was also to take care
of the insane Of the District of Columbia, who at that time were not very
numerous. Now, in addition, it receives all the insanity cases of the federal
prisons, for which there is a special building securely barred and deliberately
guarded.

FIRE LOSS IN u. S.
MOST QUADRUPLED
Several Million Dollar BlaZes Swell
the Total for First Three Months

The fire loss in the United States

year. The total for the quarter was
reported as about $45,000,000, com

The majority of the increase has
been caused by fires having loss Of

Dry goods merchants may soon

to exercise patience to an unusual
degree with his tradesmen when it

TRAIN ROBBER DECLARES
PALS DOUBLE-CROSSED HIN
TELLS ABOUT MYSTERIOUS POS
TAI ROBBERY, OF WHICH HE
NEVER GOT HIS SHARE.

They double-crossed him, and now
he tells, to get even, and the story
although it comes from the lips of a
man convicted of crime at least four
with the facts as
known well enough to make it con-
vincing.
He squealed deliberately, going of
his own accord to the federal author
tiles at San Diego, Cal, and disclos-
ing all he knew about a gigantic mail
robbery in the New York district,
when on February 20 registered mail,
federal reserve notes and jewelry dis
appeared from q locked mail truck
on Liberty street ferryboat coming
across from Jersey City N. j., to
New York.
The fellow who told is James Mo-
ran, alias Arthur Gerard Maggs.
How he came to be in California
comes out in his story
The great mail robbery was cook
ed up in a waterfront saloon in New
York some days prior to the deed.
1t was doped out that they could get
from 100000 to $1,500,000 from
a mail truck that they were going to
enter. A fellow called Laughlin had
keys that would open the truck and
registered mail pouches
They piled into an automobile, four
of them, and steered the machine On
the ferry boat directly behind the
mail truck. 1t is a long ride from
Jersey City, long enough to permit
them to unlock and enter the mail
truck just ahead, rifle the pouches,
put the loot into their own car and
lock the truck and pouches before the
boat dOcked.
Then they gave Moran $3.50 and
bill of sale for their automobile, told
him to sell the machine and beat it
for the Pacific coast, where the rest
of the crew would meet him at a GER
tain hotel in Frisco and diyvy up the
spoils.
Moran hung around that hotel
haunting it day and night for weeks.
At last it got on his nerves, he be-
CdllEA COllN IuOGu LLclL ILCS WIN manu-
ing him the double cross, he went on
a good old bat, and in the period Of
remorse determined to get even, so he
strayed into the office of Deputy nit
ed States Marshal w. G. Carse at San
Diego and peached on the rest Of
them.
Possibly the passed dividend may
have been based on the disappoint-
ment of the head of the gang in clean
ing up only a couple of hundred
thousand when he expected mil
lion possibly somebody gave a wrong
tip. At any rate, Moran never got
but $3.50, and he wants MS share.
So the authorities are looking up the
story, which is a startling revelation
of how easily a coup of this sort may
be pulled off.

than one term for president. You

not be in position to do it at all, be.
cause it will have the appearance af-

right of the people to re-elect Presi-
dent Hughes.
If Charles E. Hughes is elected
president he will be his own master
He is a very different man from ex-
President Taft,who surrendered in the
early months of his administration to
the interests represented by such men
as Senators Aldrich, Crane and Pen
rose. Judge Hughes is a progress
sive republican from sentiment and
choice. Taft pretended to be until
he secured the votes of progressives,
then he joined hands with the reac-

NOTE READS WE'LL, BUT

Fremont Tribune: 1t was a well
written note the administration
transmitted to our London ambassa-
dor to hand to Lord Grey concerning
the commercial blacklist that coun-
try has just promulgated. 1t has
some literary merit, but it is not
likely to get us anywhere. 1t looks
peurile. England has the right, if
she can and chooses to exercise that
right to forbid her citizens trading
with countries or concerns that are
doing business with Germany, her
enemy. 1t is folly to suppose, as
the note hints, that this country has
any jurisdiction in the matter of
saying what England shall do in the
way of restricting the commercial
liberties of her own citizens. If such
restrictions interfere with the trade
Iof American citizens the latter will
have to abide by the consequences.
The only way we can even the score
will be by institnting a boycott of
our own against England. We are

Mr.. Hughes favors mode of pro.

The Chronicle is now dealing in a
little demagogury. 1t knows per-
fectly that the attitude of Judge
Hughes for national universal suf-
frage does not in the least affect the
right of each state to adopt that
principle. Congress might pass a
resolution looking to national uni
versal suffrage and the thirteen
