The President's personal example as a spelling reformer was shown in the printed press copies of his ad dressthe first from thr printers since he enunciated his ideas on the subject.

Be fore leaving 5 they dragged the only two occupants of the building, S. Urakata, its manager and paying tel ler, and A, Sassaki.i a clerk,, into a back room. There they beat the two men into unconsciousness, the for mer djing of his injuries two hours later, while the latter 'was mortally wounded.: . -. s ' r ..'-.-' . Although, the, crime was discovered but a minute or two later by cus tomers who entered the bank' and found the two men lying in pools of blood, which flowed from their many wounds, the robbers made good their escape. The pipe with which the two Japariese had been beaten was on the floor, near tliem. The robbers selected a time, for their crime when but few persons were ' transacting business in the bank.; Waiting- until the building was entirely empty of customers, one of the;ip.en engaged Urakata in con versation while the other walk od be-; hind the 'partition and -picked up a sack containing the gold.: He was seen in .the act by the clerk, Sassaki, who cabled, to his employer for he.lp. Hardly a.d the man uttered a sound when he was struck down by the man who was carrying the gold. Then :. his ; companion stnick the manager-teller with a piece of pipe, rendering him; unconscious. The most fiendish part of the crime then followed. Dragging their already unconscious victims into a poorty lighted room, where there was but slight probability of their being seen, ;th'-robbers rained blow after blow upon the two Japanese until they aiat?r', Ther-then-coo.lr-w alkfe d out U I tile uo.uk., uciuj; ocii uui. uui 5!ally. noticed by several persons, in cluding the customers who.- a few minutes later discovered the victims of the crime. r As. soon as the police were notified every avaUable detective and patrol man in the city was detailed upon the case, but not the slightest trace of them 'cbuld'be found."'."
