Captain J. S. Gibson, of the shipowners, said this morning: "The report that shipowners are hereafter going to make an effort to have assault cases taken into the - Federal courts is true. Some of the men arrested have been armed with gaa pipe, slungshots and other Iron weap ons, and there was reason to fear that unless a stop was put to their practice murder would be done on the water front. The action of the City Police Courts in relation to men arrested for assaults on strikebreakers has occa sioned comment. "After securing a man who had beaten an inoffensive strikebreaker al most to a pulp and left him bleeding and unconscious In the dirt, a sym pathizer of the union, who vu landed In Jail only after a fight with a police man, was liberated because one of the union officials visited the City Hall and explained that the prisoner got drunk and became overenthuslastlc in the cause. The sluggers have shown little partiality in the selection of their victims, and when a man was found dead a few days ago with a dent as from a gaspipe on the eide of his head there were many who believed that he was murdered, perhaps by mistake. This the police loudly deny." BEACH RECORD IS BROKEN T. J. Potter Carries Limit and Har vest Queen Takes Balance.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1908 American Optician Astonishes Physicians Mr. Robert A. Thompson, an American eye specialist, delivered a most illuminating lecture on the eye at the optical demonstration rooms of Mr. Sidney Richardson, off the Strand, on Wednesday evening. The great number of students present were greatly interested in the extraordinary skill of Mr. Thompson, who gave a practical demonstration of his "New System of Eyeglass Fitting." Several oculists present who wore complicated glasses allowed Mr. Thompson to examine their eyes to see how near he would come to the proper prescription. To their great astonishment, he found the proper correction in each case in less than five minutes. Mr. Thompson leaves England shortly to continue his studies in France.

Rewards aggregating 33000 have been offered by the United States and the Northern Pacific for the arrest and conviction of the two men that held up and robbed a Northern Pacific mall train near Trent, Wash, on the night of August 14 last. The two men boarded the engine at Trent and when a few miles from that town, detached the mail car and forced the engineer to proceed several rods down the track. Realizing that a holdup was in prog ress, the mall clerks took advantage of the few minutes' Interruption and hid all of the valuable through registered packages. When the robbers finally entered the mail car, all that remained for them was a few local registered packages, which netted them not to exceed 3S, and some cheap Jewelry.
