MINISTER'S WILL 81 BARR

The New Contract Lab6F Law will Permit
Imported Preachersfto Land.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-Before the con-
tract labor law was passed in the House,
Saturday, an amendment was proposed ex-
empting from Its provisions ministers of
the gospel. This curious legislation W as
necessitated by decision of the Treasury
Department. that clergymen who were
called from foreign countries to occupy
pulpits in the United States were to be con-
sidered under the law as contract laborers.
Several instances have occurred in which
churches in the United States have been
prohibited from securing pastors of foreign
birth. One peculiar case occurred on the
line between Michigan and Canada. The
congregation on this side of the boundary
invited pastor in a village on the oppo-
site side to come over and fill their pulpit.
Some mischief makers wrote q letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury, calling his at
tention to the fact. and the department
was compelled to issue an order prohibiting
the engagement of this pastor. But in case
the senate concurs in the action of the
House Saturday, clergymen will be exempt
from provisions of the act.

POOR SHOW FOR THE OPTION BILL

Little Likelihood that There VIII Be limo
to Consider the Measure This Session.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Sept. Representative
Bliss, of the agricultural committee had o
private talk with Speaker Reed to-day, to
zee If some steps could not be taken to re-
vive the ButterwOrth anti-stock gambling
bill The Speaker wasrather discouraging,
however, telling Mr.. Bliss that for the pres
emit, at least. the time would be consumed
with hearing contested election cases. At
ter they were out of the way the tariff bill
would probably come in for consideration.
Chairman Funston, of the agricultural
committee, is still laboring to secure
signers TO his petition asking the CON-
mittee rules to give the option bill an
other hearing within ten days. Your COR
respondent asked NJ. Cannon. chairman of
the committee on rules. what he would do
with such petition if il reached him. II
would be disposed to give the gambling bill
another hearing" said he. 'but i don't see
how il can be done at present. The tariff
bill is going to take ~ much of our time.
With the Speaker thus disinclIned to hurry
the bill forward and the chairman of the
committee on rules doubling as to the time
needed for it, there are no immediate pros
poets that the bill can be galvanized into
life again.

the introduction of a bill locating the State

to be q conceded fact that the bill will pass

A few years ago Alfred and j. Foreman
Wilkinson were influential and wealthy
bankers in this city. Financial troubles
overlook them, and though an effort was
made to save snug fortunes. their affairs
got into courts. and. as a result the cred
itors got portion of what belonged to
them. The loss of money, influence and
for young Wilkinson and hiB mother
touched the hearts of the creditors, and
they were allowed to keep their elegant
$4,000 home in James street. This homo
was insured for S1S,500, and $500 were
placed upon the furniture.
One week ago Thursday men employ d

were using benzine and burning sui

about the place. No one knows exactly
what happened, but the coachman was
blown out of the upper story of the house.
He died, and the house was almost totally
destroyed by the fire which ensued.
By the terms of the insurance policies ex-
plosives like DenZine were not allowed on
the place, and although the insurance COM
panies have some sixty days in which to
settle all claims, it is asserted that young
Wilkinson has no claim against the COM
panies in this instance. and while they are
sorry for him and dis widowed mother,
they cannot afford to establish che prece-

TRAIN ROBBED BY ONE MAN
Louisville & Nashville Express Car
Rifled Near FlOmatOn Junction, Ala.
Engineer Compelled by Lone Bandit to As
sist in the Deed-Supposedt to Be One ofthe
Rube Burrows Band-Stage Held Up"

MOBILE. Ala. Sept. 2-The Louisville &
Nashville cannon-ball train, which left
Mobile at o'clock last night. was held up
at Big Escambia bridge, north of Flomaton
Junction, by 6 lone robber, who entered
the express car and compelled the messen-
ger to give up the contents of his safe.
The first news of the robbery received in
Mobile by the railway officials was but
meager. The people at the Junction knew
very little of what occurred, for the train
was delayed seven minutes only, and there
was not much chance of learning what had
occurred.
Engineer Bob Sizer says that he was
pulling out of Flomaton. and just as his
train, which is the through express from
New Orleans, got under way, he turned
around and saw o man standing near him.
Before he could ask a question or look
twice, the muzzles of two big revolvers
were in his face. He was told to run his
train up to the Escambia river bridge.
some miles distant, and stop on the bridge.
There was nothing left for him to do but
obey. and he did so. There the train
stopped on the bridge. The engineer was
told to get Oft his engine and did SO. Then
the robber directed Sizer to go to the
express car and force an entrance. The
robber put heavy mall in his hand. Sizer
did So and burst open the door. Express
messenger Johnson was standing in his car
with his pistol In his hand. but seeing SiZer
he lowered it. The next minute he has
covered" and told to lay down his gun,
and he obeyed. Then the robber, standing
in the car door, compelled the messenger to
open his safe and hand him all the money.
While this operation was going on the fell
low was standing in the door coolly looking
at his victim. and firing first to one side of
the passengers and the train crew. When
he got the money he told Sizer to follow
him. The man showed the way to the
engine, babe Sizer pull out and with a
parting shot and yell dashed off in the
bushes and was lost to sight
A posse has left Flomaton, and another
has left Mobile III pursuit of the robber.
Some surprise Is expressed here that the
robber selected this particular train. as it
is well known that the other trains carry
most of the express money, No 6. the
robbed train, carrying very little at any
time, and small amount on this occasion.
1t is said Rube Burrows was recently seen
in Florida, and there is possibility that
he ordered the assembling of his gang at
F1omaton and joined them there, to super
intend the proper conduct of the robbers.
The work looks like the work of the cele-
brated Captain Bunch.
A careful examination by the express
officials shows that only few of the pack
ages In the safe were taken. The loss is not
over $4,000.
