Farmer and John A. H. Umbach Held Him Up | e | P. Farmer and John A. H. Umbach were booked at the City Prison | vesterday by Detective Bell and Police- men Moriarity, Wilson and Tobin on a charge of robbery. The complaining witness is Charles Blocker, clerk in the | kroom at the St. Franeis Hotel. E ker and the two defendants lived in a lodging-house at 28 Eighth street. Farmer, who was employed in the en- | gine-room at the St. Francis, occupied a room with Umbach. Blocker says | that last Sunday night about 9 o'clock } Umbach knocked on the door of his oom and entered. After lighting a cigarette Umbach asked Blocker to | show him a photograph that he kept in | his trunk. Blocker opened the trunk jand took out the photograph. | The trunk had been left open, and | while Umbach was looking at the pho- | tograph he gave a peculiar cough and F ner came into the room. Blocker says that Farmer pulled a revolver out of his pocket and pointing it at Blocker said: “Now we have got you just where we want you. If you don’t give us some ‘ F George y began to empty Blocker's trunk, E while one carried his clothing and other articles to their room the other kept him covered with a revolver. After | taking his watch from his pocket and leaving him nothing but the clothes he was wearing they left the room, threat- ening to kill him if he said anything to the police. they called upon him at the hotel late Wednesday night and again threatened | to blacken his character unless he gave | them money he determined to notify the police the following day. This he did. Farmer was arrested on Friday and Umbach yesterday afternoon. In their room and on their persons when searched all of the property taken from Blocker was found and it was booked as evidence against them. i Prominent Rebekah Dead.

During all this time not a word had been heard from him by the officers of the association. Suddeply there came an intimation that there was to be a story. Without waiting to “query” as to the number of words he would be per- | mitted to send, this enterprising news- gatherer placed a message on the wire which in its condensed form consisted | ot 4374 words; when the grticles, a | jectives and conjunctions were sup- | plied at this end of the line there was a graphic descriptive story of about 7000 words, giving the information which people have so eagerly sought | but heretofore have been unable to | obtain. | Associated Press and its willingness to obtain the news at whatever cost no better illustration tjan this is re- quired. The cable tolls alone for the 4374 words at 36 cents (gold) word is a considerable item. The correspondent has been absent six months gathering this information. | A correspondent is kept at Chefu and the news he sends out, though reliable, is not authoritative, owing to the secrecy of the Japanese Government. The Japanese, finally realizing that the Associated Press was carrying noth- ing but reliable news, finally permitted the correspondent at the front to send through an uncensored message de- ! geribing in detail what had been done. He immediately chartered a boat, went to Chefu and handed his copy to the Associated Press representative there, | returning at once to the firing line. | From Chefu the story of the battles was forwarded to Shanghai, thence to Hongkong, where it was relayed to Manila and turned over to the Pacific Cable Company for transmission to| this country. l This breaking down of the strict | wall of censorship and giving to the | public the news, regardless of cost,| illustrates what is being done to give the public reliable news of the great current events in the world's history. It has been the policy of Melville E. Stone, now head of the Associated Press, to use the cable as freely as a school girl would use a free telephone. | Formerly but a few words would have been wired around by way of London and full accounts would follow by mail. Now, without asking for per- mission, reliable correspondents send | thousands of words direct from the | i seat of war. —_————————— Elks Memorial Service. !

Harris begged her repeatedly to give the Scotchman up and return to him, but she refused. Harris drank heavily to drown his sorrows.! He left Shanghai on a steamship, intending to return to his home in Chicago. He arrived here on October 17 and it was learned that he imbibed freely during the voyage. He kept it up on arrival here and was a familiar figure in the tenderloin. Dr. | ‘W. J. Jackson, who was summoned to attend him last Thursday, expressed the opinion that he would die in a few hours from alcoholism, which was causing paralysis of the heart. Captain Burnett will communicate with the police authorities of Chicago and ask them to notify Harris' rela- tives of his death. —_———— CHARGES ACCUMULATING AGAINST MRS.
