L.OS ANGELES, May 19.—In a manner so mysterious that the authorities can only speculate as to how it was done, the postoffice box at sub-station C, on Frank- lin street, in which is deposited all the mall received for the Los Angeles Na- | tional Bank, was- robbed early Monday | morning. More than 200 letters, most of them contalning checks, drafts, bills of | were stolen exchange and other commercial papers, and although the Federal, | county and city detectives have been at work on the case since the theft was dis- covered only the slightest clew to the thief has been discovered and mot the slightest as to the disposition made of his booty Instead of depending upon the regular mail carrfers, the bank rents a large lock box at the sub-station and sends its own messenger for its mail.

The only clew to the thief was supplied by the night ticket agent at the Santa Fe depot. Mon- day night a man appeared at the ticket office and tendered a check in payment of a ticket to some suburban point. The agent noticed that the check was indorsed from a bank in Salt Lake City to the Los Angeles National Bank and refused to cash it. He questioned the man closely and finally secured the admission that he had found the check on the street. denly the man ran from the depot and disappeared, but a good description of him had been secured. To-day a citizen | found a check on the streets and returned | 1t to the bank. Beyond these two checks no trace of the stolen mail has been dis- covered. Cashier Woolwein stated to-night that the bank would lose nothing as a result of the robbery, but it would cause a great deal of inconvenience and annoyance to the bank and its patrons. of the checks are negotiable, but admit- ted that they might be passed upon per- | sons not familiar with banking business.

SACRAMENTO, May 19.—While the crowd was waiting at the corner of Sev- enth and J streets for the arrival of Presi- dent Roosevelt to-night Humane Officer F. M. Woodson heard a man remark: ““Well, one Presiuent has been killed, and another should be killed.” The officer promptly placed the man under arrest. A loaded six-shooter was found on his person. He gave his name as Charles Rendelman, and said he ar- rived in Sacramento to-day from Weav- erville, where he had spent a few days, his home being in Oregon. He was evi- dently under the influence of liquor and the police do not attach much importance to the incident, although the man was hooked on a charge of carrying concealed weapons.

It should be our constant policy by national and by State leg- islation to see that the water is used for the benefit of the occupants of the soil, of those who till and use the soll; that it is not ex- ploited by any one man or set of men in his or their interest as against the interests of those on the land who are to use it. It is a fundamental truth that the prosperity of any people is simply another term for the prosperity of the home-makers among that people. Our entire policy in irrigation. in forestry and in handling the public lands should be in recognition of that truth; to faver in every way the man who wishes to take up a given aren of soil and thereon to build a home in which he will rear his clildren as useful citizens of the State. (Applause.) PROSPERITY IS ASSURED. Much can_be done In building up this State of yours and I can say in all sincerity that I believe in your steady growth. sperity is assured and is especially assured by the work- ing out of the irrigation problems. I am glad to have seen your material wellbeing. I con- gratulate you upon your mines, your ranches, your irrigated flelds, your herds of cattle. But what I congratulate you most on is your men and women. (Cheers and applause.) The speech will dwell long in the thoughts of his hearers. The President's plain explanation of the proposed work that is to be done by the national Irri- gation law has left a splendid impression in this city. As Carson was crowded with people from the surrounding country the effect of this talk is widespread and the fact that he congratulated Nevada on her State law regarding irrigation reflects credit on the action of the late Legisla- ture. After the speech the President was given a short ride about the city and with a very short wait at the depot the train, consisting of six cars, was pulled over the steep grade leading from this city by three locomotives. —_————————— SHIP AT SEA SENDS MESSAGES TO ISLANDS HONOLULU, May 13.—Hawaii has held wireless communication with a ship at sea. When Captain Wyndham of H. B. M. S. Amphitrite left here he promised the local wireless telegraph company to communicate with their stations.

Six hours after leav- ing here he was heard from at Barbers Point.
