By Associated Press i

I cashier, A. P. Rupert, and William!
| Blackburn, a patron, secured $2,883 ;
and then, terrorizing crowds in the 1
street with a fusilade of bullets, made j
his escape. The identification was |
'made by Chester Burket and Mrs. D. '
O. Shaver, clerks in the bank. Wil- j
son was placed in the Blair county jail
at Hollidaysburg.
Wilson is not the man whom the;
Harrisburg police thought was the
. bandit. Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison
j sent a picture of the Harrisburger to
j Altoona last week, but clerks in the
■ bank and those who had seen the
: bandit prior to the robbery failed to

Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., April 3. —Cheered by
a large crowd, including many col
i lege students, F. E. Wilvert, the "Stilt
King," left Center Square to-day for

Clark Is Disapproved
by Illinois Democrats
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, April 3.—Opinions are ex
pressed by politicians here that Champ
Clark's opposition to the repeal of the
free tolls class of the Panama Canal
act will cost him dearly.
In his own State there is a strong
protest against his position even among
his fellow Democrats. The case Is such
'as to furnish good material for a catn-
Ipaign orator, who can orate llmltlessly
ion the breach of faith by his country
lln trying to avoid paying Its toll bills,
i Moreover, in Clark's own Stnte there
are many aspiring politicians who think
, that the wrong man represents his
, district. The seat of Senator Stone, of
Missouri, Is said to be strongly desired

President of Argentine
Assails Monroe Doctrine
Special to The Telegraph
Buenos Aires, April 3.—The Ameri
| can interpre ation of the Monroe Doc
trine is de'»ared to be absurd and ca
pricious by President Saenz Pena In liia
i new book. He says that President Mon-
I roe's message has been made so elas*
j tic by American Presidents that it
l might be called "the gutta perclia
] message." The doctrine, he asserts, is
! now only an anachronism. America
did nothing, he says, while "Canning
jconfonted Europe, and she would lose
I nothing by abandoning the Monroe
Doctrine now."
One of the principal causes of I,atin-
American hostility to the United States,
according to tha President, is that the
|latter's attitude Is cousinly rather than
sisterly.
