santa Fe Robbery.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 12.-Five
men held up the California limited ex-
press train on the Santa Fe railroad,
One-half mile west of Cimarron, Kan,
early Saturday morning, wounding Ex-
press Messenger Elston C. Whittlesey,
of Kansas City, and escaping with a bag
of silyerdollars and the contents of the
way safe. They are supposed to have
secured about 81, 900 in all.
Express Messenger Whittlesey was
brought to Kansas City on Santa Fe
train No. (. The news that the wound
ed messenger was on the train spread
about the depot. and when No. pulled
in a crowd of 100 men, most of them
acquaintance and fellow employees
OF Whittlesey, pressed about the Pull
man car in which he was. The wound
ed man was passed through a window
of the car and laid upon a cot. The
services of three policemen were neces-
sary to keep back the crowd that in
sisted on pressing about the cot to get
a glimpse Of the brave fellow. He was
placed in an ambulance and taken to
his home, 1920 Montgall avenue, where
he was seen later by a reporter, to
whom he related the incidents of the
robbery as he lay propped up against a
pile of pillows and breathing heavily
from the effects of his wound.
The robbers halted the train and
commenced firing at the express car,
which the messenger barTicaded. He
succeeded in hiding most of the money,
although he had been badly wounded
by bullet The robbers finally broke
into the car, got what money they
could find and escaped.
No attempt was made to rob the pas
sengers and, as soon as the outlaws
had cleaned out the express safe, they
fired parting volley, put spurs to their
horses and dashed off southwark.

LETTING THEM IN.
Chinese May Enter the United states by
Certificates.


WASHINGTON, June s.-A problem
which has been giving more or less
trouble to the government officials was
decided yesterday. 1t relates to the
Issuance of Chinese certificates of iden-
tity and has been the subject of con-
siderable correspondence between the
state department and the treasury
branch of the service. Some time since
Secretary Carlisle received a COM
munication from the collector at San
Francisco stating that he was in
formed by the consul at Hong Kong,
that he (the consuD was unable to as
certain that the Chinese government
has given any authority to any of its
officers to issue certificates to mer-
chants and other Chinese persons of
the exempt class, under the sixth sec
ton of the Chinese exclusion act. which
permits such persons to come into the
United States provided they are fur
nished with certificates by their gov
eminent of their right TO enter this
country, their title, or official rank,
age, type, physical popularity, former
and present occupation or profession,
and place of residence in China. and
that the person to whom the certificate
is issued is entitled, in conformity with
our treaty, to come into the United
States.
Upon receipt of this information Sec
rotary Carlisle wrote to the state de-
partment detailing the facts set forth,
and requested that steps be taken at
once to ascertain definitely and accur-
ately what is the nature of the inStruc-
tions of the imperial government to its
consular officers, and also whether any
action had been taken by that govern
ment with respect to the issuance of
certificates TO persons of the
exempt class by officers of China.
Secretary Gresham replied with an
inclosure from the Chinese minister at
Washington in which the minister
states that the customs officers are au-
thorized to issue certificates of identity
to such Chinese persons, other than Ia
borers, who desire to come to the United
States, and that all Chinese in foreign
countries are authorized to issue such
certificates of identity. The treasury
department is bound to respect the
statement of the Chinese minister and
the certificates will he nccnntnd

The twenty-five guards left with the

Half mile from the spot where the
mutiny broke out, the eleven guards
overlook the fugitives and ordered them
to surrender. The convicts, who had
arms, answered with a volley, which
wounded two men and killed three
horses.
The return volleys from the guards

A DEATH TRAP.
Collapse Of the Old Ford Theater
at Washington.
Over -Four Hundred Government Clerks
Go Down in the Ruins-Twenty-two
Killed and Many Injured
List of the Victims.
Awful Calamity.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The historic
Ford's theater, where Lincoln was as
sissinated, now used as a branch of
the pension office, collapsed yesterday
morning, with awful loss of life. The
accident was caused by undermining
for an electric light plant, though the
building had been condemned a good
many times. The government is great
ly blamed for allowing so many en-
ployes to work in building admitted
to be unsafe. Exaggerated estimates
prevailed at first as to the number
killed and injured, as it was thought
the whole force of AS went down in
the ruins, but this was mistake as
many were in that portion of the build
ing which failed to collapse.
Men who were in the building say
the crash came without warning. Those
on the top floor were suddenly precip-
itated to the floor below and the weight
of falling timber and furniture carried
the second and first floors down. For
tunately only the forward half of the
floors gave way. The outer ends of the
floors and the rear part of the struct-
IRE remained intact and the walls did
not fall. Within an hour the news was
known all over Washington and hun
dreds of anxious relatives and friends
swarmed in the vicinity of the old the
ater Women. appealed anxiously to
every bystander for information about
some particular person. Men with
tears in their eyes besought the blue
coats to let them through the lines that
they might obtain some knowledge of
their friends and relatives. A general
fire alarm was turned in few minutes
after the crash and then all the ambu-
lances in the city we're summoned. AS
quickly as possible the police and fire.
men formed a reserve brigade and
ready hands assisted them to take out
the killed and wounded. In less than
an hour about twenty-five people had
been taken out and every few minutes
thereafter some still form would be
borne on a stretcher from the building.

RAMPANT ROBBERS.
The Week Furnished Two Cases
Of Train Robbery.
Train Held Up and Robbed of Large
Sum Near East st. Louis, lila
Santa Fe Train Robbed Near
CimarrOn, Kan.
Heavy Haul.

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Another daring
attempt to rob the southbound Mobile
& Ohio train occurred on the East side
Thursday night.
1t has been exactly two weeks since
the first attempt was made by two men
Thursday, May %, at Forest Lawn,
near East Carondelet-and last nights
attempt was made at the same place,
and according to all accounts upon the
same train, No. ), which left st. Louis
for the south at 7:30 o'clock last night
The attempt of two weeks ago was
frustrated by a lucky accident. The
robbers had the engineerin their power,
and were compelling him to increase
the speed of the engine, when just at
Forest Lawn the conductor, who had
passengers for that station, set the air
brakes and stopped the train, to the
CONSERVATION and dismay Of the rob-
bers. who fled after firing several harm
less shots.
From what can be learned no such
accident interviewed last night, though
how successful was the attempt could
not be accurately learned at a late
hour.
The train selected was the through
passenger, which carried the through
car Of the Adams Express Co. 1t was
brought to stop by the three men by
means of signals, so far as could be
learned, and the robbers Immediately
began fusilade that riddled the ex-
press car, their point of attack The
fusilade was returned by the pas.
sengers.
1t is not known how much the rob
bers succeeded in capturing, but the
amount taken from the Adams express
car is estimated at from $4,000 to 49,.

duction of 122 points The states in
which the principal decrease has oc-
Cured are Illinois, Missouri, Kansas
and California. The reduction in the
area in the states of Kansas, Missouri
and Illinois was caused in the main by
a long-continued drought and an ex-
tremely cold winter. A vast part OF

and given to other crops The decrease
from the acreage of 1892 is, in Illinois
"a, in Missouri 16 and in Kansas 80
points. The percentage for the country
of spring wheat area is 81. The per-
centages of the principal spring wheat

100; South Dakota, 95; North Dakota,
90.

improved but slightly since the last re-
port, being 75.5 against 1913 for the
month of May. The percentages Of the
principal states being respectively:
Ohio, 80; Michigan, y; Indiana, 81; Hi
nois, g.; Missouri, "A: Kansas Al. The
condition of spring wheat presents an
average for the entire country of 1914
and for the principal spring wheat
states as follows: Nebraska. Gj; Mis-
souri, SO; Minnesota, 50; Iowa, 95; South
Dakota, 50; North Dakota, 92. The av-
erage percentage of acreage for both
spring and winter wheat for the whole
country is S9.S and the condition for
June 7S.S.
Thepercentage of the acreage of oats
as compared with last year is 1907 and
the condition 50 for June l, as against
$50 for the same month in 1892.
Returns show the acreage of rye as
compared with 1892 to be 949, while
the reports of condition make the gen.
eral average SIG, the lowest for years.
Barley acreage as compared with last
year shows a decrease of 81 points or
$40. The condition of this crop SS.3
against Oil in June last year.
