women like the blouse because it is
extremely comfortable. The women
who are not stout like it because it
gives them a fuller appearance than
would otherwise be the case.
The stout woman always thinks more
of her comfort and the slight woman of
her appearance, because the stout wo-
man has given up all hope of ever ap-
pearing slight, and the slight woman
envies her her composure. SO it is

meeting to-day of the Senate committee
investigating the workings of the civil

Pos.office Auditor George A. Howard de-
Tended himself against charges OF favor

law.
Public Printer Palmer told the commit

his absence from the Government Print

complained that he could not appoint his
own cashier, who handled between $3, 900, :

self was practically under 5000 600 bond.

PURSUING THE TRAiN-ROBBERS.
Texas Ro1gers JOIN the 0Mcers-W Wells,
Fargo & Co. s Loss Kncwn TO Be
at Least $4,000.


SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May I5,-The
three men who held up the Southern Pa
cific train and robbed the safe of Wells,
Fargo e. Co.'s Express Company near
Lozier are being pursued by Texas rangers
and posse of Deputy Sheriffs. The trail
of the robbers heads toward the Rio
Grande. and the fugitives are believed to
be in the Mexican mountains.
One of the robbers pals gave the local
official full Information of the plot q few
weeks ago. but he suddenly disappeared
and may have been killed for his treach-
cry to his fellow-pIotters. The express
company is not yet through checking up
it's waybills, and refuses to make a definite
statement regarding the amount of money
the robbers secured. 1t is known that
the through safe contained not less than
$4,000, and may have been many times
that, as heavy shipments of money are
made daily between New Orleans and San
Francisco.
Lozier is lonely station in desolate
part of Texas. Miss Addie Upton, the
telegraph operator there, says the three
robbers entered the station just before the
train was due and ordered her to stop the
train for them. She replied that such an
order was useless. as the train stopped
anyway She then wired the train dis
patcher that she believed the train was
going to be robbed. Her warming was too
late. however, as the train had already
passed the last station TO LoZier.

States regulars camping in Fairmount
Park. At o'clock the committee of the
Military Order of Foreign Wars called on
the President at the Hotel Walton, pre-

The President was escorted to the

The ceremonies at the monument began

delivered a prayer.
This was followed by an address by

This was the signal tor the firing of the
National salute by war-vessels in the

the pretty daughter of ranchman. The
family of the girl opposed the marriage,

Cap itaI of 500, 900 900 and Business
Capacity of 1000, 600, ,OO0-Boon
10 the farmers.


NEW YORK, n Y, May 15.-The Press
says: There has been projected in this
city the greatest financial institution of the
world. 1t is the establishment of a credit
company under Federal supervision on
the plan of the Credit Foncier of France,
but with greater powers. Lawyer John
Dos Passos has the charter in his posses
sion, and says it will be submitted to
Congress within the next two weeks. He
claims he has received the approval of the
ad administration and leaders in Congress.
News of the undertaking came from
Washington to-day, but most of the Re-
publican leaders denied that they had
been consulted in reference to it.
The company as planned is to have a
capital of $100, 900, with the privilege
of doing business OF $4,000. 600 600.
Among the financiers me entioned in con-
nection with the project are c. N. Jordan,
j. Pierpont Morgan and Henry o. Have
meyer. The company's prime purpose Is
to lend money to farmers, especially of
the West and South, at rate almost half
OF that which they are now paying.
The system upon which the institution
is to be mana Led is similar to that upon
which the Credit Foncier is managed, but
improvements are planned based upon
the principles of the best-known and most
successful National building and loan as
sociations.
In addition, the charter will authorize
the company 10 do general trust and
banking business within well-defined
limits, the object OF this branch being to
The saving in interest charges to the bor-
rowing portion OF the country is put at

The most i'm mportant immediate effect of
the chartering and operation of the new
institution is expected to be the wane OF
the power of Wall street.
