paying the city employes just before
Christmas holidays is a radical depar-
ture from the former practices of the
city, this being the first time that pay-
ment has been made until the end of
the month. While the city may have
set a precedent it is evident that the
employes are pleased with the action.
Many of them were heard to so express
themselves today.

Mrs. Winifred Haynes, yesterday ap-
pointed by the Young Women’s Chris-
tian association of Galveston to take
charge of the travelers’ aid work of
that organization, told a Tribune re-
porter this morning that she is ready
to go to work just as soon as the asso-
ciation says the word.
It has been arranged that Mrs.
Haynes will formally assume her new
duties on the first of January, as an-
nounced for the first time Thursday
atteinoon.
"The story in The Tribune yester-
day,” said Mrs. Haynes, “gave me the
first knowledge that I had been se-
lected as the travelers’ aid worker. I
see great possibilities in this work at
Gainesville Banner.
There are said to be thousands of
German people in the Canadian North-
west who are finding life unbearable
on British soil and are wanting to
move to a country where their nation-
ality won’t be a handicap to best en-
deavor. The most natural move for
them to make is to come to the United
States where there is freedom of ac-
tion. Not nationality but thrift and

English Opera company are going to
spend Christmas in Galveston. They ar-
rived here late last night, some being
guests at the Galvez and some at the
Panama and other local hotels.
"We have been looking forward to
a pleasant week in Galveston and to a
delightful swim in the gulf,” said Jos.
F. Sheehan of Boston, leading tenor
this morning; “but this cold weather
indicates we must forego the pleas-
ure of our planned gambol in the surf.”
Others in the party registered at the
Galvez are Wm. Riley of Boston, man-
ager and Mrs. E. N. Beck of Chicago,
whose husband is the general man-
ager.
The company came to Galveston from

ganizations to observe Christmas and
holy weeks, the Boston, English Opera
company will remain in the city until
Christmas day, when matinee and night,
“Il Trovatore” will be presented at the
company at the Grand.
“Business has been good with us in
the south,” said Mr. Sheehan today.
“Conditions down here certainly aren’t
as bad as some pessimists paint them.”
Motorcycle Officer R, H. Webb was
conveyed to the John Sealy Hospital
this morning about 9:30 o’clock as a
result of a collision which took place
on Tremont street and Avenue M. From
what could be learned of the affair the
officer was going to his rooming place
from the corporation court. As he
approached Avenue M a buggy appear-
ed on Tremont street from the ave-
nue. Both men attempted to stop and
turn aside. The collision occurred, the
officer being thrown to the pavement,
sustaining a painful laceration of the
scalp. After he was treated at the hos-
pital he went to his room.
Thieves forced an entrance to the res-
idence of D. S. Burns, 2002 Avenue P
Wednesday night, according to state-
ments made by members of the family
yesterday. The police department was
notified but no report could be found
on the blotter yesterday. The thief
entered the house through the kitchen.
Two suits of clothing, two overcoats,
a gold watch and chain, several pieces
of jewelry, a pair of gloves and many
other articles are among the missing
articles. It is understood that detec-
tives are working on the case.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 18.—-After rob-
bing two/ banks today of thousands of
dollars in currency and seriously
wounding one man an automobile ban-
dit, cornered in his home by police,
shot one olicer, fled, but was himself
wounded, probably fatally, when his
machine crashed into a telephone pole
and his pursuers closed in on him.
It is known that the man obtained
$8,000 in the West End branch of the
Provident Savings Bank and Trust
company and officials of the Liberty
Banking and Savings company, the sec-
ond bank robbed, believed the amount
obtained from them will run into thou-
sands.
At least twelve persons were in the
banks at the time the robberies were
committed, but the bandit’s revolver
held them in check.
The bandit rented a room in a West
Ninth street apartment house and the
owner, having read a description of the
man, called the attention of the police
11 a similarity. Three policemen called
at his room and on opening the door
were fired at.
Policeman Knaul fell wounded and
the bandit, jumping past the two other
officers, fled to the street, re-entered
his automobile and fled. His flight
proved unlucky for him, as he crashed
into a pole rounding the first corner
and wrecked the machine. He extri-
cated himself from the wreckage and
started to run, but the officers by that
time were close to him and after an ex-
change of shots the. bandit fell.

Today noon marked practically the
end of the examinations which have
been under way in Galveston before
the state board of dental examiners.
The examinations commenced Monday,
there having been 36 applicants to take
the tests which are to determine whe-
ther they may practice denistry in Tex-
as. Some final details of the exami-
nations were concluded this after-
noon.
Probably within a fortnight it will
be known how many of those taking
.the examinations were successful. The
six members of the board will imme-
diately begin the grading of papers on
the 12 subjects.
To this morning, it was stated, about
75 patients had presented themselves
at the free clinic, where the applicants
performed dental work free of charge.
This number was considered large.
The majority of the cases where gam-
ing and vagrancy were charged as a re-
sult of raids on alleged clubs in the
western section of the city some two
weeks ago were again passed this
morning. They were set down for next
Tuesday. In those cases which were
disposed of dismissals were entered.
Between fifty and sixty negroes were
arrested in these raids. It is now
thought that the cases will be dis-
posed of finally Tuesday.

Cincinnati Auto Bandit Secures Money
in Unknown Place.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 18.—The police
today are searching for the $13,100 ob-
tained by Frank G. Hohl, automobile
bandit, from the two banks he held
up and robbed yesterday before he was
mortally shot in a pistol fight with
three policemen. Patrolman Edward
Knaul, shot by Hohl, was operated on
early today and the attending physi-
cians held out little hope for his re-
covery.
Hohl’s body still lies unclaimed at
the city hospital. His wife, Mrs. Ber-
tha Hohl, arrested last night, declared
she would not claim the body. She
denied knowing anything about the
robberies, saying she even was ignor-
ant of the fact that Hohl had been in
the city. Mrs. Hohl said her husband
left her more than a year ago because
she would not take active part in his
career of crime.

ton, Foreign, East Texas, New Orleans,

taken by the carriers on a special 10
o’clock delivery, and a second delivery
