East End of London, England London, Jan. 3. -The clone surveil - a lance which the police have been "maintaining for sortie days over a 'band of alleged anarchists, reached a climax to -day when two hundred -policemen, all armed, surrounded a house on Sydney Street in the East End and demanded the surrender of two anarchist suspects known inter- nationally as "Peter the. Painter" and "Dutch Fritz." The police wanted the -former for the part he took in the re- cent fight at Houndsditch between the 4Dfficers and a band of robbers who were looting a jewelry store. There was no quiet surrender, however. for instead of the men appearing, lire was opened trout the windows, the •anarchists apparently having been well ',supplied with ammunition. The men stationed at the windows kept up a steady rain of lead from revolvers and rifles. Consternation spread in the 'Police force, and a company of Scots -Guards were sent for. Then began a vigorous attack on the house in an attempt to capture the uwtorious gang which Scotland Yard believes has been cemmitting murder and robbery and manufacturing bombs, the latter being part of a plot, the detectives think, to kill prominent personages who may be In attendance at the Coronation. The arrival of the Scots Guards from she Tower of London was dramatic and ,exciting. With fixed bayonets and their rifles loaded with cartridges the soldiers marched through the streets at double quick, scattering the mob of people before them and arriving upon the scene of the battle in short time. The men were drawn up in an area way, where they could command a view of the house where the anar- chists were fortified, but were pro- tected by jutting walls. The command to fire was given, and a heavy roar that shook the ground followed. Volley after volley was fired into the anarchists' fortress., while the house was splintered from basement to attic. But the anarchists kept up a constant storm of lead against the houses protecting the po- lice, while one of the men climbed out upon the roof, where he was protected by a chimney, and tried to pick off the military officers. Sergeant Leeson was shot and mor- tally wounded while directing the storming of the building. Two spectators who ventured into the bullet zone were shot and later rushed to hospitals. While the lead was rattling against the anarchists' fortress like hail one man with the blood streaming from half a dozen wounds emptied a revol- ver into the ranks of the soldiers and then tottered backward. A great quantity of straw was brought up, and policemen, using planks and flat pieces of iron as ,shields, managed to place a quantity of it In the basement and set it afire, hoping to smoke out the men. The anarchists rushed to the attic windows in the rear of the house and returned the volleys of the troops. At the height of the battle the air was filled with flying lead. At. 1.40 p.m. another company of Scots Guards was ordered to Sydney Street to bat- . 'le with the anarchists. Home Secre- tary Churchill arrived on the scene about the same time. Every attempt .aa parley with the anarchists met with an answering bullet and it was de- :•ided to call for aid. Six hundred additional policemen were rushed to the scene, bringing the :atal number of police up to. 1,000. The police were tearful that Horne Secretary Churchill would he shot, for Ate insisted in pressing forward to a .point where he could command a view ,)f the bullet -riddled structure.. Following the arrival of Home Secre- ary Churchill another company of the Seats Guards was ordered from the Tower garrison.' They arrived at 1.40 o'clock, heavily armed. An effort to drive out the anarchists by fire and water having failed, it was finally decided to batter down the house. A gun was planted in the street with the muzzle pointed towards the house, -and the artillery men loaded it. An officer shouted to the anarchists that :he house would be demolished if they lid not surrender. The men within replied with a shout of derision. The anarchists fired a well -directed volley, bringing down a police ser- ' geant, Alex. Simmons The wounded officer was rushed to a hospital, where it was reported that he was mortally iurt. By this time there were more than 500.000 persons scattered in the ad- joining streets. At 1.55 the soldiers attacked the front and rear of the besieged house simultaneously, pouring volley after Colley through the tattered walls. The anarchists returned the fire, directing flood of lead from rales and revol- vers towards the ranks of the troops. The burning straw in the basement nad in the meantime ignited the wood- work, and the building burst into flames. At 2.15 o'clock 1 he anarchists climbed `hrough a trap upon Ih., roof, bearing rifles and all the ammunition they •ould carry. They kept up their fire, shielding themselves behind chimneys. rwo minutes later there was a terrible explosion which shook the adjoining buildings as the lire reached the an- archists' ammunition. The burning structure was nearly shaken down by the shock. At 2.20 o'clock flames began to shoot through the roof. One man who•at- tempted to escape, was shot by the police, and his body fell backward into 440 the seething pyre. The s4)rvfvors were ilmost surrounded by wails of flame, but they continued shooting at the po- lice and troops. Sergeant Lawrence, .)f the Guards, was wounded. At 2.66 there ware no further firing, and the -police commenced their search of the building. They found the dead bodies of two anarchists. Seven fire- tnen were injut�H. A W KN10H7 SIR WILLIAM MACKENZIE BANDITS HELD UP TRAiN Two Masked Haul on 4 Robbers Made a Rich Overland Limited Ogden, Utah, Jan. 3. Posses car- ried by special 'train and automobile are hunting to -day for two bandits who held up Overland Limited train No. 1 on the Southern Pacific at 11.60 o'clock last night, ,nine miles from this city, shot the porters and looted the passen- gers of a large amount of money and jewelry. The bandits were masked and heavi- ly armed. Both the engineer and fire- men were ordered from the cab and obeyed. The trainmen were ordered to the rear of the train while the bandits entered the sleeping cars. As they were climbing upon the vestibule steps two porters appeared. The porters, who could not see distinctly in the darkness, tried to push the men down the steps. The robbers fired several shots and both porters fell. The passengers, aroused from their sleep by the fusilade of shots, crowded forward. The bandits ordered them back. One bandid, with a huge revol- ver in each hand, stood at the end of a car while the other went among the passengers, dumping jewelry and money into a gunny sack. One male passenger on the train who offered resistance when the bandits were searching the train, was so badly beaten over the head with the butt end of a heavy calibre revolver that he is in a serious condition. It is not yet definitely known just how much the robbers secured, but it is believed they got between $10,1a00 and $15,000 in cash and jewelry. THE DOUKS Will TREK Two Thousand of Veregin's Follower.' Will go to British Columbia Winnipeg, Jan. 3. -Peter Ver, need of the Doukhobors who arrived in this city this morning, says that two thousand more Doukobors will be re- moved from Saskatchewan to British Columbia this year. Fifty thousand fruit trees on their 10,000 -acre tract in British Columbia came into bearing this year. With the removal of these 2,000 there will be 4,000 In each pro- vince. REINDEER RAPIDLY INCREASING POSTAI SAYINGS BANKS l'be United States To-d*y- inaugurated a :System Sittlllatr rig That et Canada Washington, Jan. 3. Uncle Seta be- cante a full -t edged banker today when an experimental postal savings bank, similar to the Canadian: system, was .opened in every state and terri- tory in the union, in accordance with the postal savings bank bill passed at the second session Of the 61st Cott- gresa. The post -offices designated to accept deposits are all of the; second. class, and are located In communitieli. where the laboring element et the pop- ulation is large. For the past month Postmaster General Hitchcock has had the various postmasters who will handle deposits in Washington in- structing them in regard to the details of the new system, The postal banks will be conducted on strictly banking lines, with the ex- ception that there will be no piles books, certificates df deposits} being issued in duplicates. The opening.ot an account wll be a very simple pro- ceeding. Any person ten years of age or over may open anaccount in his or her name for one dollar. The same privilege applies toa married woman, whose account "shall be free from any control or interference by her husband." Like the dime savings bank, however, you may begin your account with Uncle Sam by buying ,a ten -cent postal savings card. When you have purchased nine other postal savings stamps, which the postmaster has attached to your postal savings card, you will receive in exchange a certificate of deposit. The postal savings stamps are then destroyedby the postmaster. No one may deposit more than $10 in any calendar month, while the total balance is limited to $500. Furthermore, no person shall at the same time have more than one pos- tal savings account in his or her own right. No obstacles are placed in the way of any depositor from withdraw- ing the whole or any part of his or her account, with accrued interest, on de- mand, under such regulations, as the board of trustees may prescribe. Depositors will be paid 2 per cent. interest yearly. The postal funds placed in designated banks by the board of trustees will yield the govern- ment 2% per cent. it is believed that this quarter of one per cent difference between what the government pays the depositor and what the banks will pay Uncle Sam will be sufficient to meet all necessary expenses for con- ducting the postal savings deposi• tortes. A NEW KNIGHT A K*W KN14844? Vow 800 in Alaska and Labrador- Vatue of Flesh and Fur Reindeer milk is richer than goat's Jr cow's milk, and makes fine cheeae. Reindeer venison is as good as any, and smoked tongues are now in the market for a high price. The soft, thick fur coat makes a first-class wear for motoring, and the dressed leather always fetches a good price. Rein- deer are rapidly increasing in Alaska and Labrador Three years ago Dr. Grenfell brought more than 300 rein- deer from Lapland. They have now become 800. Reindeer are far faster sledders than Esk dogs -can pull as much as four, and can live off the country where the dog has to have food carried. Dr. Grenfell advises the Canadian Government to go 'in for rein- deer by the wholesale, to start many herds in the north country, and change the police and post sledges from doge to reindeer. LOCAL OPTION RETURNS Toronto, Jan. 3. -Returns received co -day indicate the following additional Local Option gains: Maxville, Eliza- bethtown, Hitchinbrook and Roxbor- ough.

THIRSTY LOCOMOTIVES The total water used by the London and North-Western Railway for all purposes amounts to 3,816,187,000 gal- lons per annum. A modern express locomotive hauling a heavy train over the hilly roads between Crewe and Carlisle evaporates nearly 40 galloni per mile. FEARED TO GO DRY Welland, Jan. 3. -The fact that there was a majority of fifteen against the Local Option by-law seems to indicate that. Wellanders are afraid that the growth of the town would be retarded if it were to go dry. The steel plant and Supreme Heating Works had threaaered to close if the measure carried. SIR DONAi-D MANN CATTLEMEN COMPLAIN Western. Shipper's Say Their Ship, ments are Neglected by the C.P.R. • Winnipeg, Jan, 3, --Farmers ani ex, porters of cattle in the West are still complaining bitterly ot the adconlmo- ,dation and the treatment they are get- ting from the C.P.R. They complain. that shipments are delayed in getting through to Montreal this year more than ever before. They are also ob-. jetting strongly to the methods em- ployed for feeding the cattle en route. Charles Knight, a prominent Calgary shipper, says: "With reference to the accommoda- tion at the feeding stations, it is sine ply horrible. There is no system or looking after the cattle whatever, and no one seems to be responsible for the cattle received into the yards. So far as Winnipeg yard is concerned it is simply a disgrace, On or about Octo- ber 29 I had a train of cattle going into Winnipeg yards, consisting of 825 head, and they were held twelve hours before being unloaded. They were then crowded into yards without any room to feed, and jammed into places which afforded bare standing room, Consequently on loading out there -was a shortage of thirteen, and there seems to be no on: on whotre the responsi- bility of this loss can be placed. Tale is a sample of the losses shippers are' up against, and until they receive bet- ter accomm.cdation it will be' impos- sible to make any money out of the livestock trade. If transportation facilities that exist at present are not improved one of our best industries will be put out of business." Mr. Knight insists tilat the railroat must be made responsible for the live stock while en route or they might at well quit. He says that the railroad commission appreciates the conditions and has given orders but are slow in enforcing them. Speaking of conditions in Alberta he says that itt the two hundred miles from Calgary to Medicine Hat 'there are something like tele stockyards, and in very few of them is there water. The same condition exists on the 'com- pany's line between Calgary; Edmon- ton and McLeod. This state of affairs simply means that if a man has a ship- ment of cattle in any one of these yards, and he has tO wait for cars, which is often the case, he has to hire men, and saddle horses; to drive these cattle to water, probably miles . away, and also has to buy hay at an upset price to protect the . stock until the cars arrive. - SIR ALAN AYLESWORTH MET DEATH WITII GRIN Former Soldier Met His Doom with the Utmost Coolness Ossining, N.Y., Jan. 3. -With a smile on his lips, Samuel Austin, a former soldier in the U. S. Army, paid the penalty for wife murder with his life in the electric chair at Sing Sng to- day. Austin is said to have been the cool- est man that was ever electrocuted in Sing Sing. He was convicted for the murder of his wife, Irene, at White PIains, last year. His bearing was erect and military, and as he took his seat in the chair of death he smi'.ed broadly. Two shocks were administered. The execution took place at 6 a.m. SENSATION iN ,MONTREAL A Western Detective Promises a Sur- prise In a Few Days • Montreal, Jan. 3. -James Burns; a noted San Francisco detective whose work went a long way towards un- earthing the civic graft in the western city, is here, andpromises to spring within a few days the most sensational case the city has ever had, involving thearrest a est of half a dozen prominent citizens. Burns says there is a plot against David Russell, and after inves- tigating the case, claims to be in a position to make several arrests of prominent -local men. SUIT OVER FORTUNE Ninety-three Claimants to Shares in $180,000,000-300 Years Ago A fortune of $10,000 left three hun- dred years ago, and which, with com- pound interest, has now grown to $180,000,000, will shdrtly occupy the attention of the Dutch courts. When General Wirtz died at Am- sterdam he left half of his fortune of $20,000 to the city and half to his natural heirs. The latter portion was never claimed, and in due course the Government took possession of it. The first hint of any claimant came ten years ago. The list has • grown since, until now there are ninety-three people contending for shares in the modest. $10,000, which is said now to amount to the enormous sum of $180,- 000,000. The claimants have instructed two French barristers. The law has al- ready been set in motion; the civil tribunal of Amsterdam has declared its incompetency. The Dutch Government opposes the wit of, the claimants on the ground that their rights have lapsed many years ago, and that, more- over, there was no such thing as legal interest at the time of the general's death. • The French counsel deelare their abiiity to refute these two arguments, A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING A Hamilton Woman Refuses to Tell' How She Was Wounded Hamilton, Jan. 3. -The police are Investigating a mysterious shooting case which odcurred on Simcoe Street, Saturday night, in which Mrs. John Lampman, whose husband is serving time at London; was shot above the heart. The doctors fear seriousre- sults from thy+ operation that will 'Ors necessary to extricate the bullet. The occupants of the house where the shooting took place say she was fooling with an old •revolver. The wounded woman has refused to •dis- cuss the affair with the police. TEETH OF RECRUITS The teeth of British Army recruits in London are not only much better than those of the corresponding class in rural districts, but also show much less disease than was commonly found In the same class in London a genera- tion ago. The chief medical officer at ane of the London recruiting barracks commenting on the small number of applicants he had to reject on account of bad teeth, stated: "We have no fixed rules as to the number of de- cayed or missing teeth which would exclude a man we judge whether the applicant has enough sound teeth opposing each other to allow him to masticate his food Sufficiently to pre- vent his getting indigestion. Differ- ences of climate, soil and drinkingo water may have some infi'uenee on the teeth, but the dieting in infancy bears the most important part."

The authorities and the doc- tors, we learn, froth a French source, are act their wits' end, for the educated Celestials share with the common peo- ple a belief that the hygienic mea- sures and clinical treatment advocated by European surgeons are designed to kill and not cure the people. One of the legends which has a powerful in- fluence over the people is that the Europeans want the bodies, more espe- dally the eyes, for the preparation of different medicines. More horrible stories still are circulated, and it is Bald the native press 18 as iu.ltch to blame for not endeavoring to educate the people up to an understanding of European medical treatment and bur- gical treatment, MERCHANT TAILORS.
