MAN BEATEN AND ROBBED
Hlrjhwaymen Take $50, Then Kick
Victim Downstairs
Highwaymen were not satisfied with
taking $50 from II. T. Croft, n travel
ing salesman from Norfolk, Va., but
carried him up three flights of stairs
and then kicked him down. That, nt
least, is tho way Croft explains his
treatment by "stick-up" men who. he
says, robbed him near Tenth nnd Hn.cc
streets, early yesterday morning.
According to Croft, after he had been
held up, he discovered that the robbers
were unnrmed, so put up a battle.
They subdued Croft and carried him
up a dimly lighted stairway, and kicked
him down. He does not reniumbcr
what else they did. When he regained
consciousness he was in n cellar, ho
said.
Croft was taken to the Pennsylvania
Hospital, where he Is suffering from
contusions of tho body nnd lacerations
of the scalp. Police of the Twelfth and
Pine streets station were informed of
tho robbery.

Prohibition Largely Responsible,

Reports
HITS WORK OF U. S. AGENTS
The number of families dependent
upon the Protestant Episcopal .City
Mission for charity hns fallen Off by
50 per cent. The statement ,ls made
by the Ilev. Dr. William II. Jefferys,
superintendent. He nttrlbutes'the con
dition to the effects of prohibition Rnd'
suys that there would be n still greater
pcrccntagn If the lows were properly
enforced. Contributing causes to Im
proved conditions, he snys, arc higher
wages and sufficient work for almost
every one.
"While the sum total of work done
by the City Mission is quite up to the
average this year, it will be observed
that there has been n considerable
diminution, quite r0 per cent. In tho
number of families dependent on it
for charitable relief. No doubt tills is
the common experience of all the relief
societies. Tho reasons for tho nbove
nre self-evident; the effect of prohibi
tion Is largely responsible and would
bo far more largely so If prohibition
wore Caused to prohibit.

the failure of the federal authorities to

nllow that they have not done so, there
Is no question that It Is n great deal

great deal Is sold in saloons, but we
know there In none sold in tho clubs

ably, u corresponding, though not so
ndequate, very little In the saloons. At
any rate, the effect upon poverty and
crime has been very marked. Our penal
Institutions have felt the benefit, and
may we not ssy that the City Mission
has also been benefited.

"However the outlook may be en

Its organization always, elastic, because
times do change and some of our most
prosperous terms of years havo been
succeeded by great depressions, and no
matter what tho decreaso in general

there always remains the City Mis
sion's special field and interest in the

"The relief department of the City
Mission hns, among other interests, a

these two Institutions, which affords
her a wide and pressing field of ac
tivity nnd has developed what almost

ment of convalescents and consump
tives nnd tho watchful care over their
homes and their ro-eatabltshmcnt in
them. I think that, as time goes on,
this special function of the City Mis
sion will be more and mora recognized
and its usefulness therein made evi

vacation, full of enthusiasm and with
