’FRISCO HOLD-UPS MAKE
VICTIMS STAND ON HEADS
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.—San
Francisco holdup men continue to in
vent new stunts for their victims. A
few weeks ago the command of “Down
on your belly” supplemented the com
mon salutation of "Hands up."
’’Stand on your head” is the latest.
It the quaking victim demonstrates that
his gymnastic education has been neg
lected, he is cheerfully assisted, shaker,
until his pockets have yielded the price
of eats, drinks and ear fare, and spun
rapidly on his bald spot while the gun
men make their “get away.”
MADDOX DEFIANT
IN HOSPITAL iH
Aiderman J. W. Maddox, of the Fifth
ward, ordered by the police department
of Atlanta to cease work with a steam
shovel at Forsyth and Luckie streets,
today figuratively told the police de
partment to mind its own business.
At the same time the aiderman de
clared that before he would obey the
mandate of the chief of police he would
•arry the fight through even court in
Georgia.
The clash between city law maker
and city law enforcer came when the
owners of the Elkin-Goldsmith sanita
rium complained that their patients
were being greatly disturbed by the
noise of a steam shovel being used on
grading work at Forsyth and Luckie
streets, where the Hirsch-Spltz building
is being erected.
Aiderman Maddox is the contractor
who has charge of this work. The hos
pital people charged that the shovel had
already been on the place an unneces
sarily long time, and was not only hav
ing an Injurious effect on their pa
tients. but was also luirting their busi
ness.
Three dais ago Chief Beavers sent
word to the alderman that the shovel
would "have to be removed by 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. At that hour the
shovel was shoveling away as busily as
ever.
Charges of failing to'obey orders to
aba'e a nuisance were filed against the
alderman-contractor. The contractor
was served with copies of the charges,
but he didn't stop work.
350-POUND TWINS GO
INSANE SAME DAY
LEXINGTON, KY.. Aug. 23.—Misses

ters weighing 350 pounds each, have
been brought to a local asylum and are
attracting wide attention throughout
Kentucky. The twins became insane
at the same time, apparently in the
same manner. They talk exactly alike.
