Dehind it there is a story of 2 man who gave food and lodgings to two old acquaintances who were in dire need of lielp, but who had sunk so low in the mire of eriminality that, while they accepted his bounty, they plotted against him. They were not satisfied to be fed and lodged until they secured employment, but must rob their benefactor. HAD BEEN OLD FRIENDS. Taylor, Abraham and Smith had been oolmates In Montgomery, Alabama. aylor was chief clerk in a railroad | |ofice and Abraham and Smith were | | working in the town. About six months | ! ago, according to the story of Taylor, Smith and Abraham left Montgomery the coast. Taylor fell sick soon and the railroad granted him leave of absence for three months. to San Francisco to recup- erate. This was on October 3. About two weeks ago he was sur- { prised to meet Abraham and Smith on | Market street. He was startled at their appearance, for, according to his story, they were without funds and were in desperate straitse for food. They had no work Taylor's heart was full of pity as he ' heard the tale of his two old friends, so he took them up to his own lodg- Ilng! at 122 Taylor street. There he ! gave them money to buy food and kept them with him. They seemed to be deeply grateful and told Taylor that they would soon have work. Last Thursday Taylor received his transportation to return to Montgom- ery. He also received a check for $65. He showed both the check and the transportation to his friends and told them that he would leave on the morrow. Abraham at once proposed that the three visit' Chinatown that night. | Taylor had never visited an opium den ' and Abraham promised to show him one. They started out late at night and left an opium den about midnight. { SEARCH ONLY ONE POCKET.

Taylor pretended to do 0, but grasped the man's revolver. A struggle ensued and Taylor was get- ting the best of it, when the other robber left Abraham and Smith, whom he had covered, and struck 7 the head. The other robber slipped his hand into Taylor's hip pocket. “Have you got it?” cried the first. ‘Yes,” said the other. Then the two men fled. In the meantime, Taylor declares, if his friends had been active they could have captured the robbers. He report- ed the loss to the police, as did Smith and Abraham. The next day he left for home minus the $55 he had carried with him that night. He did not sus- pect his friends, although he wondered how the robbers knew in which pocket he kept the purse. But Detectives Ed Wren, Freel and Bunner felt that there was something wrong about the story and as a flier arrested Abraham on Friday. He was locked up and soon thereafter con- fessed. He gave them the name of Smith telephoned down to the prison after Abraham and was induced to come down on pretext that Abraham was about to be re- leased and was promptly arrested. Clow was taken the next day. The police kept the arrests quiet until they could get all of those implicated. In the meantime Tavlor was stopped at Salinas and brought back to identify the robbers. The police are elated over the, cap- ture of these men. They belleve that they have been implicated in other crimes. They give credit to the clever work of Detectives Bunner, Freel and BEd Wren. —_———— New California Postmaster.

The only new appointment announced by Premier Campbell-Bannerman to-day was George Whitely, Liberal member of Parliament for the Pudsey district of Yorkshire, as chief Liberal whip. Lord Rosebery gave his biessing to the new Liberal Cabinet at the meeting of the | council of the Liberal League in London | this afternoon.

He sald hat he had not personally received any assurances from the Liberal Premier on the subject of home rule,,but he was| satisfied that the vice presidents of the | league, Sir Edward Grey, Mr. Asquith | and Mr. Haldane, had received assurances | to the effect that his (Lord Rosebery’s) | interpretation of Campbell-Bannerman's | | speech at Stirling was incorrect. Lord | Rosebery, however, thought it strange that Campbell-Bannerman had not taken the opportunity in his more recent speeches 1o repudiate his (Lord Rosebery’s) inter- pretation if it was not correct. His speech, at any rate, he declared, had cleared the air, and with Sir Edward Grey and Messrs.

FOR GUNBOAT NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Dec. 12—The lighthouse tender Azalea arrived here at 2:15 o'clock this morning with the crew of the Nantucket South Shoal lightship. The lightship foundered at 4 a. m. on Monday eighteen miles west of her sta- tion while In tow of the tender. Great anxiety is felt for the gunboat Wasp, which started out about dark on Saturday night to aid the brig Harry Smith, said to be in a bad position at the entrance of Vineyard Sound. e Wasp carrled a crew of eighty men, was | commanded by Chief Boatswain Hugh Sweeney and was provisioned for three days. It was a run of about two hours to the entrance of the sound, but scarcely had the Wasp left this harbor when the storm, which had been threatening all day, broke. It was not surprising to the naval officers that tha Wasp missed the Smith under the conditions which pre- vailed. On Sunday afternoon after the storm had passed, word was received that the Smith was still at anchor near Vineyard Sound, but nothing could be seen of the Wasp. The Wasp is not equipped with wire- less telegraph, neither did those on board know of the predicanfent of the Nan- tucket lightship, so that the gunboat would not have gone out to that station unless in the hope of getting new orders by the lightship's wireless equipment, The storm was far more severe off shore, and it is belleved by the naval officials that the Wasp experienced some- thing bordering on a hurricane and may have been driven far out to sea. —_——— KENTUCKY FEUD LEADS TO A SERIES OF TRAGEDIES Two Men Killed and Three Wounded in Fights in the Lee County Mountains. BEATTYVILLE, Ky., Dec. 11.—Fol- lowing a quarrel growing out of a law- suit, John Abner and Harrison Lucas, members of rival clans, fought a duel in the Lee County mountains last night. EBach fired several shots. Abner was wounded in the abdomen and Lucas in the breast. Both are being guarded to prevent friends spiriting them awa: Adherents of both clans are gathering and a general fight may result. The factional strife was intensified by two other affrays last night. John Gunn, Arthur Combs and John Ander- son shot William Newman to death here while Newman was unarmed. Grant Holliday, a deputy sheriff of Breathitt County, was shot and killed by Jerry Noble at Jackson, Ky., while trying to arrest Noble and his brother “Jake,” after a shotgun duel, in which Holliday fatally wounded “Jake. —_———— ENTIRE GARRISON ARRESTED FOR ONE SOLDIER’S OFFENSE Private Who Insulted an Officer’s Daughter Is at Last Identified.

AR et CHRISTIANS DEFEND JEWS. | Refugees Say Massacres Were Work of Revolutionists. NEW YORK. Dec. 11.—Five hundred Russian refugees, many of them eye- witnesses of the ‘massacres in Odessa and other Russian cities, disembarked here to-day from the steamships Pa- tricia and Chemnitz. Some of them told pitiful stories. Jews who had them- selves lain hidden in Odessa houses while mobs searched for them, Russian workmen of the Christian faith, strik- ers from the railroads, a newspaper re. porter and Germans who had long lived in Russia joined in declaring that they had been attacked irrespective of reli- gion; that their assailants were led by police disguised in citizens' clothing, and that the massacres were not race persecution, but revolution. ‘While- telling their stories the men sometimes burst into tears, for perhaps half of the entire number had left be- hind them wives and children who were either dead or defenseless in Russian cities. There were three Jews from Odessa, all of whom, six weeks ago to- day, on Monday, that the Czar proclaimed Russia’s con- stitution—were forced into hiding to save their lives. Abraham Chanoch, an Odessa tin- smith, told how little children were thrown out of high windows; how Rus- sian Christians patrolled the streets in | large bands, protecting Jews, while other bands of men pillaged and mur- dered. Workmen and students, he said, led the peaceable portion, while dis- guised police usually led the hoodlums. After the first two days he and two companions escaped . from the city. Chanoch said: During the first day after the manifesto it seemed to me to very quiet, for nearly all the Jews remained indoors, hiding. Some- times 1 heard people marching through the streets. Six weeks ago to-day 1 lay with sev- eral others for four hours in the garret of a house to escape from a mob in the rooms be- Jow. It was a three-story building and those who lived there escaped by crawling along rafters into dark holes a few inches under- neath the roof. While we were hiding In this house men came In after dark to escape from the streets and to tell us what had happened in the other houses where the Jews were caught. A man told me that one of these houses had been entered, where perhaps 200 Jews were in hid- ing. The members of the mob carried butcher- knives and stone slabs, some of which were red with blood, and which' were used for crushing and .stoning people; iron bars, re- volvers and clube. Those in'the house rap in every direction, many of them escaping. but the children ran, with a few other persons, There they were caught and the 5 or 6 years old were thrown living out of the ‘third story windows into the streets. The older children and the grown-ups were killed before being thrown out. The man who told me this story also said that a band of several hundred students and a few police arrived in time to arrest some of these murderers, and that after they had been placed in jail some of the prisoners were recognized by their keepers as members of the police force. Chanoch said that faces of the dead on the streets were too mutilated for recognition. Two refugees from Western Russia sald that there the Jew-killing was started by emptying the jails of prifon- ers, who attacked and stole from the Jews. The men from the province of Kovino asserted that the police themselves read in the Emperor's proclamation of a constitution an order to kill all Jews and cried this lie through the streets. All the stories agreeed that the Em- peror's manifesto of a constitution and the festivities on the day that Count de | quit their hiding place the general sent | Witte stepped into power were made | men to set fire to the barracks and the | the pretext for riots. U A e DE WITTE TALKS PLAINLY. Premler and His Emperor Have Lost Faith in Populace. LONDQN. Dec. 12—The correspondent | sion and disorder the troops fired om! October 30—the day ! of the Daily Mail at St. Petersburg, in' a dispatch dated December 10, sends an nterview with Count de Witte, in which | the Premier indicates that Russia Is con- | fronted with the alternative of a revolu- tion or violent coercion. Though the Count has not abandoned hope, he is not 1sangume. and if forcible repression shall | become necessary he will, according to i the correspondent, resign his task to | other hands. Questioned by the correspondent as to the genesis of the revolutionary move- ment, Premier de Witte attributed its rapld development to the autonomy to the universities and the i high schocls, where the revolutionary | forces, hitherto doomed to secrecy, found asylum and sanctuary and absolute free- dom for discussion. When this freedom became licensed, soclety with stolid indifference. Count de Witte said: | Ommy return from Portsmouth I found the !country In a difficult position, from which there were only two issues. thorny and fateful, but after long and careful | deliberation the Emperor, who needed no per- suasion, acted on his own initiative, and, never doubting that he could build upon the moral courage and the political good sense of i the majfority of his subjects, took the course Continuing, | with alacrity, but with pleasure. Clearly the vast changes which the mani- festo heraided required time and patience to car- {ry out, but was occurred was utterly umex- pected. Sections of the community—nay, whole classes—went to work systematically to annihilate their own means of livelihood and to ruin themselves and the’ whole nation. In- stead of uniting to preserve order, the people quarreled among themselves and attacked the Government. The only people who acted In their own in- terests were the revolutionists. They knew what they wanted. They chose the most ef- fective means to attain it and they are capa- ble of adopting these means even at the price of heavy sacrifices. The revolutionists hide all their quarrels and animosities and act together for the end they have in view, which spelis destruction. Out of the resultant chaos they promise a new world and an earthly paradise. After admitting that the manifesto had indirectly intensified the movement, the Premier said: Unfortunately, the people at large take the view that it is the Government’s business to realize constitutional principles and to fight the revolution, Doubtle: the Government can employ force, but force s only an evidence of weakness, unless it is leveled by the social conscience against the ' public ememy. If a community will not struggle against anarchy. no government can successfully cope with it argument apoled to strikes. ‘With regard to the Jewish question, he said it was impossible at the present mo- ment to proclaim equality of rights, be- cause such a measure would provoke ap- palling bloodshed. In conclusion the Premier sald: Unless all elements of soclety abandon their own differences of opinion and join hands to assist the-Government in chec tin carrying cut the Emper situation may be regarded as truly di and serfous. With the moral help of the { munity and with the efficacious m the Government all may yet be right without that help anarchy wlill continu finally the nation may demand the of revolution by force, and then it posstble that the prineiples embod manifesto may be repealed or suspended. To the query, “Are you prepared for recourse to coercion?’ Count de Witte replied: 1f this alternative comes to pass it will be confided to somebody qualified to essay it. I assuredly gm not so quaiified: In this @atter * |1 am devold of the.requisite qualitles and dis- position. e e _TERRIFIC BATTLE AT HARBIN. Mutiny Stamped Out With Loss of Hundreds of Lives.
