THREE MASKED MEN ROB

Sulsun bay are lng mruod by a
ehcrlA" posse, Uirough bayou in a
u-ri lauocn.
The robber hail blannit tlu
camtully aiul had a boat secreted in
the marshi'S when they abandoned the
engine at Cygnus.
The train was stevd by a lantern
signal a It slowed down on the ap
proach to Goodyear. As the engine
came to a atop, two men lca(ted
alx.ard, one from each aide, and cover
ed the engineer with revolver. An

two entered the cxprcs ear.
No estimate of the amount taken
can be had, but it I believed that the
robbery netted aeveral hundred dol
lars. There were ton coaches In the
train, awl the robber locked each one
aa they paasvd through, leaving the
passenger captive while they rilled
the other cars.
After completing tho work they re
turned to the engine, where their com
panion still stood guard over the train
men, and ordered the engineer to un
couple the engine. He was then or
dered, with the fireman, to "beat It,"
and aa the men ran back toward the
rear of the train, one of th robber
pulled the throttle wide open and the
engine shot at top speed through Good
year. A poase waa quickly organised at
Goodyear and Hence I a and a short time
Ister the abandoned engine waa found
a few mile farther ahead at Suisun
bay. A rancher living nearby had
aeen three men and it waa learned a
short time later (hat the men had ea
raied In a launch.

"Caving In waa In progreaa oeiore
the dike ware built and In our opinion
the dlkea are not responsible primarily
for such caving in. The project to

RECEIVE8 KINGLY HONORS.
Emperor Francis Joseph Greets
. " Rooaevelt In Splendor.
Vienna, April 16. Colonel Theodore
Rooaevelt waa received at the Aus
trian capital today in a manner almost
Ilk that accorded a reigning aov-
ereignv,
The punctilious Austrian court, the
moat ceremonious of Europe, bad ar
ranged the programme and left noth
ing undone that could emphaaiz the
unprecedented honor being paid the
viaiting American. ,
A a apeelal mark of hla personal
esteem, the aged emperor-king, Fran
cis Joseph, received Colonel Rooaevelt
in ' hia private apartments at the im
posing Hofburg palace, instead of in
the regular audience chamber.
The monarch, who waa attired in an
Imperial uniform, waa extremely gra
cious to the American and kept him in
conversation for 86 minutes.
What interested subject they found
to discuss were not made public, aa
they were alone, and Colonel Rooaevelt
naturally has declined to reveal the
alightest detail of the conversation.
Emperor Francia Joseph intends per
sonally to return Mr. Roosevelt's call
on him. Such an honor aa a return
visit from the emperor ia only extend
ed to reigning sovereign.
For Colonel Rooaevelt the call on the
emperor waa only the main feature of
a busy day, which began immediately
after he reached hia hotel this morning
with a breakfast with Henry White,
ex-American ambassador to France,
who had not been in Vienna since he
began hia diplomatic career here 27
years sgo under President Taft's fath
er, who waa then American miniater.
The day included an official visit last
ing an hour to Count von AehrenthaL
th Auatro-Hungarian foreign minia
ter, a call of courtesy on Archduke
Francia Ferdinand, heir apparent to
the throne, at Belvidere palace, a vis
it to the tombs of the Hapsburga,
where, under the guidance of a Cap
uchin monk, with a lighted taper in hia
hand, he laid wreaths on the tombs of
Empress Elizabeth and Crown Prince
Rudolph; a tour of inspection of the
Spaniah riding school, founded by
Charles VIII. and of the Imperial Hus
sar barracks; a reception by the Amer
ican journalists and a dinner given in
hia honor at the foreign office tonight
by Count von AehrenthaL
Yet, after the long day, when Col
onel Rooaevelt returned to hia hotel to
night, he mounted the stairs two at a
time.
Colonel Rooaevelt used the imperial
court carriage placed at hia disposal by
Emperor Francia Joseph until but offi
cial calls had ended. Then he discard
ed it for an automobile.
He enjoyed the exhibition at the rid
ing achool, where the celebrated Lip
pixzan breed of horses, a mixture of
Spanish and Arab blood, performed the
daintiest of evolutions, dancing a
quadrille and finally coming onto the
platform where Colonel Rooaevelt aat
and circling his chair so close that
their hoofs almost touched his feet.
But, as Colonel Roosevelt remarked
afterwards : "These are only aociety
horses."
A clattering charge of the Magyar
hussars, who constitute the emperor's
body guard, across the parade grounds
of the barracks, on the contrary, stir
red him to real enthusiasm and after
the evolutions he made a detailed in
spection of the stables, horse hospitals,
etc, volleying questions st the offi
cer who accompanied him.
Hug Timber Deal ia Made."
New Westminster, B. C, April 16.
The Canadian Western Lumber com
pany, composed of Eastern Canadian
and American lumbermen, has pur
chased for $20,000,000 all the property

Thia property ia mostly timber land on
Vancouver island, and include the
tract purchased recently from the Wey
erhaeuser Lumber company for $4,
000,000. The new company possesses
the largest area of merchantable tim
ber under one ownership in the world.

Immense landslide, started by a blast
of dynamite, today carried a acore of

chief engineer in charge of the works.

Mark Twain Hold Own.

fortable nieht and it waa aald thia

The tng Banger, seat ia response to
the wireleas call, Is standing close by
tonight and has a line to Uie crippled
steamer.
A tremendous sea waa running and
when last sea the small boat which
bad left th Santa Clara, had not been
able to get alongside the Banger.
The Enreka luesavinir erew attempt
ed to go to the aid of the steamer, but
was unable to cross the bar. Another
attempt will be asde at 4 o'clock to
morrow morning, when it i hoped th
ea will har subsided somewhat.
Among thoe c-s board the Santa

owner of the ateamer, and father of
C. P. Doe, general manager of the
north raeine Steamship Company.

were lost, wss One of the psssengers.
This waa th thirteenth round trip of
the Seat Clara aine the steamer bo
came one of the vessels of the North
Pacific Steaauhip Company 'a fleet, and
the fact that today ia the 13th day of
the month ia regarded as a bad omen
by seafaring men.
The Santa Clara left Eureka at 2:05
this afternoon and proceeded sooth.
Whea about four miles south of Table
Bluff, those in the lighthouse and wire
less station at the point saw the ateam
er torn around and start baek. It was
at this time that a wireless message
came from the steamer to the local
agent ef the company, John Simpson,
requesting that a tng be lent to her
assistance.
Simpson replied by asking what the
trouble was, and a wireless answer
was received, stating that the Santa
Clara (truck heavily in crossing the
bar aad was leaking badly, following
that no further communication could
be bad with her. It ia anpposed that
her aeama opened, letting in enough
water to put ont the fires.
When about one mile south of Table
Bluff, and a mile off shore, the steamer
dropped anchor. To those in the wire
less station and lighthouse it was ap
parent that the vessel waa badly erip
pled and could get no further.
The tug Banger left Eureka at 4
o'clock and ran close enough to the
Santa Clara to get a line on board.
Shortly after 6 o'clock two email
boats from the 8a Clara with pss
sengers could be seen trying to get
alongside the tug. Observers at Table
Bluff also aaw through their glasses a
man fall overboard from the steamer,
cling for a time to the anchor chain
and then disappear.

supposed, did he learn that ha had beta

Guilbert arrived ia Saa Franeiaeo ea

ABATES TRUST WAR.
Action of Supreme Court Temporari
ly Limits Prosecutions.
Washington, April 13. One effect of
the postponement of a decision by the
Supreme Court is the Standard Oil aad
Tobacco Trust case will be to defer
action by the Department ef Justice
against those combinations or trust
believed to be operating in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust Uw. Thia
holds good where the vital points ef
attack oa such corporations are similar
to those ia the suit awaiting settle
ment. In the broad area of the law not cov
ered by the Standard Oil and the To
bacco Trust eases, there is coniidersble
room for operation and where there ia
sufficient evidence of the existence of
combinations in restraint of trade and
an agreement to fix prices, prosecutions
will continue, this attitude or the
Government was made plain ia Admin
istration circle today.
On the judicial interpretation of the
word "monopoly" by the Supreme
Court in the big eases hinges the
method of procedure by the Depart
ment of Justiee ia its future actio is
important trust prosecutions. That
word is said never to have bee de
fined adequately ia English jurispru
dence. Aa important matter in which the
Attorney-General has deferred action
pending a decision in the Standard Oil
and Tobacco Trust eases, is the inves
tigation into ths complaints of the
American Federation of Labor against
the United States Steel Corporation.
What, if any, other eases are being
held baek pending the court' deeiaion
is not atated. In issues like the al
leged window glas combine agaiaat
which indictment were recently ob
tained in Pittsburg and those similar
to the Northern Securities ease, the de
partment expect to continue prosecu
tion. Embargo Will Go on Pulp.
Quebec, April 13. That the Province

United State waa announced ia tha

early part of the session, because whea
the session opened a tariff war waa
threatened between Canada aad tha
United States. We have the right to
prohibit the exportation of pulp woods.
Within a few daya an order will there
fore be paased by the eounsil to thia
effect."
