FAITHFUL DOG PUNISHED.
Lashed for Barking While Burglars
Were Bobbing His Master's Cafe.
Aaron Silverman's brindle bulldog
Spot is the only living creature
around the Silverman cafe at 41 West
Twenty-Seventh street that is in any
condition to smile, but Spot is physically
too sore to smile.
Sometime after midnight the barking
of Spot awakened the Silverman
family in their rooms above the sa.
loon. Silverman thereupon arose, goi
a trunk strap and walloped poor old

When Silverman went behind the
bar about 6:30 he found that burglars
who doubtless had started Spot's
unprecedented barking had rippec
open the cash register and taken $3C
and a ring from it and then had attacked
the safe and got away with
one diamond ring worth $125, twc
more worth $100 each, a $75 watch
a lavalliere worth $75, a $45 lockel
and chain and four Russian golc

Offered Good Sum for Federal Job.
Santa Barbara. Cal., June 14.?C.
E. Ercanbrach was arrested today on
a 'federal indictment charging him
with an attempt to bribe United
States Senator John D. Works.
Ercanbrach's letter was turned
over to the department of justice at
Washington by Senator Works.
Ercanbrach is a carpenter, who is
considered fairly well-to-do. He admitted
he had written to Senator
Works, and added:
"But
I didn't know it was a crime
to offer to pay a congressman for getting
a political job. I thought that
was common practice."
In his letter Ercanbrach gave banking
references as to his responsibility.
He was taken to Los Angeles tonight.
DR. J. YV. WOLLIXG ENDORSED.

. Washington, June 13.?Senator E.
D. Smith and Representative J. F.
Byrnes have endorsed Dr. J. W. Wolling,
pastor of the Methodist church
at Allendale, S. C., for a diplomatic
position in one of the Latin-American
republics. Dr. Wolling was for years
a missionary in South America, and
it is believed that he will be made
- minister to one of the countries of
that continent.
LOBBYIST KICKED OUT.
One of Insidious Kind Booted Out ol
Senate Document Room.
_
Washington, June 15.?"An insidious
lobbyist," who did not tell
his name, was literally kicked out ol
the Senate document room Saturday.
"I'll help the President get rid ol
insidious lobbyists" was the exclamation
of R. M. Cooper, assistant superintendent
of the document room
as he boosted a tall, recalictrant mar
through the door.
The victim of the booting, whc
fled down the Capitol steps, had been
abusing employees because they did
not furnish him with some printed
documents relating to indigo tarifi
rates, printed only* for the finance
committee.
\ "He rushed into the room," said
Cooper, "and threw his hand bach
toward his hip pocket. Then I kicked
him into the hall. That's one way
n to handle such lobbyists."
Wisconsin Man Starves Wolves.
LaCrosse. Wis., June 9.?Starving
out a band of eleven wolves by lying
in constant watch outside the entrance
to their den for four days and
four nights, Owen Hughes, of Angelo
township, finally had his reward
when the wolves driven by hunger,
aasnea irom meir reiusc auu
killed one by one as they emerged.
Hughes came to town today, collected
a bounty of $100 and treated himself
to the first meal in more than
half a week.
Hughes, who is a professional hunter,
was almost exhausted as he made
his way into town, climbed feebly up
the high steps to the court house and
fell into a chair as he presented his
proof to the county clerk.
