with the final awarding of prizes but
is extra. The Club. Member that has
the most ambition and pep in the
course Of the next few days will be the

tered the building. They drove up in
car, which contained three men.
Leaving the engine running, two of
them jumped out and entered the
building.
The man who held. Smith up is de-
scribed as about 35 years old, rather
slender, weighing about 1875 pounds,
clean shaven, and with dark hair. The
other is described as rather stocky in
build. The man who remained in the
auto is not described. The automo.
bile was big black car. None of the
robbers wore masks.
The police took the case in hand
promptly and began to run down
clues. A reward of $1,000 was offered
by the company for the arrest of the
holdup men.
The robbery was evidently the work
of men who had carefully studied the
ground and knew exactly what they
were doing. One theory is that they
came in from st. Petersburg. after
learning in some way of the $4,000
shipment from that city.

strong hopes of landing the men are
entertained by the officials.

OFFICIALS DENY
REPORT OF EFFORT
TO KTDNAP BERCDOLL

D. Washington, Jan. 2e.-The de.
partment Of justice today denied
the report that American detec.
tives attempted to kidnap Grover
Cleveland 6ersdolI in Germany.
Officials declared that no depart
ment agents were on duty in for
eign countries.
Discussing the possible extrad-
tion of BergdoII, officials said there
was no treaty under which the Uni
ted States could demand his return.
The only possible method, they
said, would be to request Germany
to hand over the man who had re-
fused to fight against that country,
which would be an embarrassment
for this government and hardly
possible of acquiescence by Ger
many.

hall. One of the men had a wad of
money i'll his hand, and told the cash
ier he wanted money order. Smith
turned, unlocked his door and was
about to enter his cage, when, as he
says, he felt the muzzle of a revolver
at the back of his head, and one of the
robbers told him, "If you make any
noise. I'll blow your brains out"
A pair of handouts was slipped
over Smiths wrists and locked, and
he was ordered to lie down and keep
quiet. There are more of in the party
and we've got the whole ID place

The pair then rifled the safe, secur-

The loss is estimated at $15O,0O0.

is undetermined.
The fire broke out in the kitchen

building was soon ablaze. 1t spread
to the administration building which
also burned very rapidly.
Fire alarms We're sent out, and
record runs We're made by the fire
departments of Clearwater and Tar
ron Springs. These organizations,
however. could render little service
because of the lack OF water connec-
tions. Both buildings were entirely
destroyed.
The fire did not enter the boys
dormitory. AS soon as the alarm be-
came general the boy students rushed
out and rendered valuable service. It
is due to their efforts that the cloth
ing and personal effects of the girl
students were not entirely lost About
fifty of the girls lost most of their
property.
The records of the institution were
also saved by the efforts of the boys.
All the homes in the neighborhood
have been thrown open to the students
