Removed, Identified by One
of Fellow-Travelers.
MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 14. Sixteen
men were held up and robbed while
riding: in a refrigerator car on the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul road be
tween Chanhassen and Hopkins, west of
Minneapolis today, according to the
story told to the police here today. Two
men are in Jail held as suspects. The
men were coming to Minneapolis from
Montevideo, where they had been em
cloved in the harvest fields. While the
train was passing through the village
of Chanhassen two strangers entereo
the car by tbe side door.
The harvesters paid little attention to
them until the taller of the two drew
two revolvers and commanded the men
to stand in a row and then to hang on
to a rod crossing the car from end to
end. The victims were compelled to
draw themselves up so their feet barely
touched the floor. While tney were in
this position the robber in command
ordered his companion to go through
the men's pockets.
Gilbert Mooney had f 2B0 sewed In the
lining of his coat which was taken;
others lost from US to 160 each. ' When
the train reached Hopkins, ten miles
from Minneapolis, the robbers dropped
off the train.
Hiram Gallagher, one of the victims,
accompanied by Ietectlvea Colwell and
Wears, today entered a barberanop,
where a stranger was securing a hair
cut and a shave.
"Stop shaving that man." cried Col-
well. The barber stopped. . The man
was compelled to stand up. Gallagher
declared that he was the man who car
ried the guns during the robbery, say
ing that he would know those whiskers
anywhere.
Half shaved, the man was taken to
Jail. He gave his name as John Keep,
but denied any knowledge of the rob
bery. A man who attempted to talk
to Keep while on the way to the police
station was also arrested ana held
pending an investigation.
SWINEHERD ONCE RULER
Strange Story of Downfall of Kns-
sian Told In Petit Journal.
PARIS. Aug. 16. ( Special. )-jn ex"
traordinary story of the downfall of a
high official in Russia Is told by the
St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Petit Journal. Some little while ago
the Governor of the Province of the
Lion Cossacks hired a swineherd for his
farm at Miatopolsk. Shortly after the
servants told him that the new em
ploye made the most extraordinary
statements when he was In a drunken
condition and used to say that he was
really Governor of the Bon Cossacks
Province.
The swineherd was summoned by
his master, who examined his papers
and found, to his great surprise, that
the man's story had a foundation of
truth.
The guardian of the pigs eight years
before had been Governor of the
province, but had been recalled and
sent to prison for embezzlement. After
his term of Imprisonment had come to
an end he bad led a vagabond's life for
some time. Finally, impelled by a de
sire to return to the scene of his for
mer exploits, he had returned to the
province, where he accepted the Job as
swineherd on the farm of the new
Governor.
CHURCH WINS OVER TRAIN
To Be Conductor Once Cardinal's
Highest Ambition.
ROME, Aug. 1. (Special.) Car
dinal Merry del Val, who distinguished
himself by suppressing the mutiny in
the Swiss Guard, was not In his youth
ambitious. As a small boy, he was at
school at Slough. England, but at the
age of l')"he was transferred to Brus
sels, and studied at the Conservatoire
of Mus-ic. His instructor, M. Albenix.
has placed on record his impressions of
his pupil:
"He was a delightful child, of very
distinguished manners, and captivat
ing charm. Never in my life have I
had a more attentive and assiduous pu
pil. And I remember one fact which
has often haunted my memory when
1 kit my quondam pupil, in later years,
become a priest, and obtain preferment
to the highest ecclesiastical functions.
I was only 10 years older than he was:
and I sometimes used to amuse myself
by asking him what he meant to be
come when he grew up. Invariably, to
my delight, this son of a wealthy diplo
mat made answer: "1 mean to be a
tram conductor." And no doubt he
would have made a good one, though
he bas since shown himself capable of
far higher things.
ANTIS" TAKE- NEW NAME
Conservationists' Pledged to Con
serve Home and Motherhood. -
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. The anti
suffragists have renamed themselves.
They are now the "Conservationists."
Home, motherhood and womanhood
they are pledged to conserve.
In a statement the "antls" take a
cloomy view of the present status of
American womanhood. In particular
they say:
"There is something wrong with the
condition of women today. The cure Is
' education and the conservation of
women as wives and mothers. Putting
woman into politics and forcing her
to do man's work, as well as her own,
is a terrible waste."
ROYAL BENEFIT PLANNED
Mme. Bernhardt Preparing; Message
for People of England.
LONDON. Aug. lS-(SpeciaJ) The
charity performance at the London
Coliseum on October 11. at which It is
hoped the King and Queen will be
present, is the outcome of an idea
originated by Mme. Sarah Bernhardt,
who greatly desired, on the occasion
of her forthcoming farewell season In
London. So express in a practical man
ner her thanks to the people of Great
Britain and Ireland for tbe national
tribute which was presented to her last
year on the occasion of her 8th birth
day. Mme. Bernhardt is preparing a mes
sage to the public in which she will
outline the' details of her scheme to
benefit the funds of tbe Charing Cross
Hospital, which is making its special
appeal for $350,000, and the French
Hospital in Shaftesbury avenue, with
which she is intimately associated.
A ladies' committee, under the presi
dency of Lady Lonsdale, is being
formed in connection with the former
hospital for the sale of tickets. The
programme of the performance will
contain the most distinguished names
in the ' theatrical, musical and variety
world.
ROYAL RECRUIT IN RANKS
Viscount Duncannon Enrolls as Gae
lic Revivalist.
DUBLIN, Aug. U. (Special.) The
Gaello Revivalists have recently en
rolled a distinguished recruit In their
ranks from a most unexpected quarter.
There has always been a mistaken
notion that Gaelic Leaguers were Na
tionalist partisans in the political
sense, but the appearance of Viscount
Duncannon in the picturesque dress of
the ancient Irish may go a good way
towards removing the idea. This Vis
count, who will be one day. In the nat
ural course of things, the Earl of Bess
borough, Is a Unionist of an uncompro
mising brand and cannot have been at
tracted to the Gaello movement from
merely political motives. It cannot be
said, either, that he has been Influenced
by that other distinguished wearer of
the "kilt" Lord Ashbourne because
the latter is an enthusiastic Home
Ruler and has no patience with men
who take such a view of Irish needs
and conditions as those entertained by
Viscount Duncannon.
A remarkable feature of the Gaelic
movement is that it has gathered within
its ranks men of severely antagonistic
political views, who evidently see in it
something rising superior to any sordid
considerations, political or commercial.
Viscount Duncannon is regarded as an
indication of a new element in the ac
tivities of the movement.
BROOM FACTORY EXPANDS

QUEEN TO TAKE UP GOLF
Prince and Princess Teach Mother
Mysteries ot Game.
LONDON, Aug. 1. (Special.) The
announcement that the Queen has de
cided to take up golf seriously when
tbe royal family goes to Balmoral in
the Autumn has aroused great Interest
in golfing circles.
Her Majesty Is not altogether un
familiar with the game. The Prince
of Wales and Princess Mary have in
itiated her in some of its mysteries
and Princess Mary is credited with
saying that her mother is a promising
player.
There Is a good deal of speculation
regarding the player who will be
chosen as the royal teacher. The man
who has had most experience with the
royal family is Ben Sayers, the famous
professional.

one hour and five minutes. Ferriage for large automobiles Is 15."

"The hardest thing we had to con

Rabbi Wise thought the time had ar
rived, however, when the cause of hu
manity demanded a change of ideas,
when people saw the effects on chil
dren of the libertinism of their pro
genitors. He said the society had
overcome in Oregon the difficulty of
dealing with the reticent nature of
young men by publishing lists of rep

came to speak on lines which necessi
tated the use of plain terms had
found himself unable to do so. The
rabbi himself hesitated, but realizing
that it had to be done, finally made
the plunge. He called attention to
this today, he said, because he thought
it was one of the prime causes of de
layed action. As a reward for hi
having done so, he said, the terms,
with him, were now almost "parlor ex
pressions." The rabbi concluded by saying:
"Having regard to the fundamental

weapon, a .45-callber revolver, on him
self and fired three shots In a row

Mrs. Stockslager and then killed him
self. The tragedy followed a love affair

Berry, married Guy Mllner, son of E.
E. Milner, a capitalist. The courtship
was brief and the domestic happiness
equally so. Quarrel followed quarrel,
and a divorce resulted.
There were many suitors for the
hand of the fair divorcee, among them
