DARING ROBBERY
AT PHILADELPHIA
THE TROLLEY COMPANY'S OF
FICE AT BELMONT LOOTED.
Masked Thieves Walked In in Broad
Daylight Bound the Astonished
Employees Hand and Foot Laid
Them in a Row on tho Floor, races
tot tho Wall Then Blow Open tho
Safe with Dynamito and Took tho
Company's Receipts for Two Days.
All Philadelphia's Detectives at
Work on the Case.
Philadelphia, Juno 19 A gang of
masked robbers, piobably ten In num
ber, early this morning raided the
receiving office of tho I'alrmount Paik
Transportation company, at Belmont,
In Falrmount paik, and after holding
up tho receiver and five other em
ployes of the railway, blew open tho
safe, obtained $4,000, the company's re
ceipts for two days.
Frank Lcvnn, lecelver; Frank Wat
son and Henry B. Whltchouse, con
ductor: James Cavanaugh, fireman of
the rower house, Philip Haves, elec
trician, and William Cadmus, labotcr,
were bound hand and foot with wlio.
Accomplices of the robbers destroyed
tiie telegraph and telephone wlies con
necting .with the trolley company's
main ofllce.
The Falrmount Park Transportation
company operates vatious lines of trol
ley cars through the park. The tiaffic
being unusually heavy on Saturdas
and Sundays the robbers evidently de
cided that Monday morning was a
good time to make a big haul.
The company's emplojes named be
boi e were In the office when the bur
glats made theli appearance. Each
lobbor was aimed with two revolveis
ami the employes were sill prised. It
was the work of a few moments for
the lobbers to pinion the workmen,
who weie rolled over to one side of the
rcom, with their laces to the wall.
After almost two houis' woik the sufe
was blown open and illled. Then the
gang dtsuppe.ucd.
The entire city detective foice Is on
the case, but the lobbers left no clue.
Porter Blames Dischaiged Men.
Charles A. Porter, president of the
Falrmount Paik Transportation i om
pany, this evening said that the cleiks
had made an examination of the books
and found that the exact amount of
money stolen was $3,350 47.
This was the cash In the conductors'
canvas bags, which had been handed
in as each car came Into the barn.
"There Is every reason to believe
that some former emplojes of the
transpoitatlon company were Impli
cated In the robbeiy," said Mr. Porter.
"We have been compelled to hlie men
of whom we knew little. The familiar
ity of the robbers with the methods
puibited by the company shows that
they were not lgnotant nutsldeis. It Is
my opinion th.it expeit cracksmen
have gained the ear of some of our
dischaiged employes and In that way
the consplraiy was hatched and car-
lled to a successful outcome"

Tho men were Michael Daly, Victor

from Providence, H. A,; Woonsocket,
It. I., and Brockton, Mass., respective
ly. Their bodies were discovered .sev
enteen miles from the mouth of Old
Man's creek. The men had lost the
trial. Having left Dahl river with
only three weeks' food, but which was
amply sufficient for the 150 miles to
Jlmtnn, they were soon reduced to star
vation Daly's body was found on tho
stove In the tent Just as It had been
left when death overtook tho others.
A portion of It had been eaten. Some
scraps of mooso hide and mocassin
weie found, of which the man had been
endeavoring to make a. stow. Daly's
body was idcntllled by tho clothes.
The other men were found dead five
miles away fiom the tent. The fact
of the tent flops being shut down when
found would oem to preclude tho pos
sibility of lal s body having been
eaten by nnlmul" The other men
doubtless weie uiiven by hunger to
the awful extremity of cannaballsm.
Four hundred dollais were found on

managers today. However, they did
not appear at the office of the Eile and
Superintendent Biunn had not lieen In

demand of the men for an Increase of
wages The krle had, he said, twenty
eight men at work In the lake fielght

more as possible Conti actor Connors
says the strike was not woirvlng him.
He had, he said, ISO men at work un
loading five steamurs tVid two canal
boats ntul when 'they were unloaded
theie would not be much moio work
here, as the policy of the railroads con
ti oiling the lake lines was to tie up
their vessels, discharge the eiews and
dock woikeis and abandon the lake
business so fai as Buffalo was con-
( i ned.
The Lai kaw anna coal shovelers re
turned to woik toduy. All of the coal
and ore shoveleis aie now ait work.
The demand for an Increase of wages
Is not confined to the Urle ti eight hand
lers, but Include all other fielght
houses. The Eile has been paying
fourteen cents per hour legular and
twenty-one cents for overtime. The
other companies paid fifteen cents per
hour with no Increase for overtime.
The Erie men originally demand fifteen
cents per hour, with twentv-one cents
for overtime, but later said they would
be satisfied with twenty cents for over
time, piovided they received the cent
extra tor icgtilar woik. The Eile peo
ple finally made an offer of fifteen
cents stialght, the same as paid at
other fielght houses This the men le
fused, and they have since made a gen
eial demand for fifteen cents an hour

ALL HOPE OF ARBITRATION IS
NOT ABANDONED.
An Impression Gained at Berlin If
Germany Declines to Participate
the Other Powers Will Still
Achieve Some Such Result A
Guarantee That tho Schemo Will
Not Harm' German Interests Is
Deslicd.
Tho Hague, Juno 19. Dr. Zorn, tho
member of the German delegation to
the International peace conference, who
was dispatched Ftlday by Count Von
Munster, the chief Germnn delegate,
after u conference with his colleagues,
to inform Emperor William personally
on tho state of affalis In rogaid to
board of arbitration question, ictutned
to Scheveningen today from Berlin. It
is said, however, that owing to the ab
sence of the emperor, Di, Zorn was
only able to consult with the officials
of the German foreign office. Dr. Zorn
Is discreetly reticent regarding his mls
sloiij but it Is understood ho obtained
the Impression at Berlin that ali hope
need not be abandoned of effecting an
understanding regarding the organiza
tion of arbitration board by amalgama
ting tho vailous schemes.
It Is expected that Emperor William
will reach a decision this week. Mat
ters theieforo, remain unchanged, and
tho drafting committee will not meet
until the kaiser's decision Is known.
The general desire of the conference
favors an established arbitration trib
unal, lecourse to which shall be op
tional. Other Powers Will Achieve Results.
It Is believed that if Germany de
clines to paitlclpate, the other powers
w ill still achieve some such result lie
fore separating. They may decide up
on a draft scheme pending Gcimany's
decision.
Tho Berllnger Tageblatt says It un
derstands Unit Dr. Zorn's Instructions
involve a concession regaidlng the ar
bltiation question, duo to the gieat
earnestness with which the Biltlsh,
A met lean and Husslnn delegates aio
pushing the application of the pilncl

motives, desire some positive icsult.
