An Atchison director says: ''Now that

road into first class physical condition,
greater attention will be given to its eco

changes contemplated is an increase in
the train load. The Atchison's train load
at present does not make a favorable
comparison with the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, but radical changes VIII
be made in this direction. OF course the
Atchison cannot increase its train load 10

and Great Northern; neither could it OPP
crate under so per cent, as those roads
are doing The Atchison goes through a

SOME DETECTIVE sSW0RK. ,,
Too Much zealousness and Not
Enough Judgment by o. 8.
Secret Service.

Thad Robbins, who has been heralded
as an all round bad man, was ordered
released Wednesday evening by Judge
Foster of the United States district
court. He instructed the district attor-
ney to holle the two indictments against
him in the federal court.
This is a case that proves how officers
may be mistaken. In May, 1896, the
postofffce at Tecumseh and the office
at Watson were bUrglarized. BY some
process of reasoning known only to the
authorities, they arrived at the conc1U-
sion that the notorious Robbins broth
ers were responsible for the crime. TO
add to the suspicion they could not be
found. The government offered a re-
ward, but all to no purpose until q year
ago when Thad Robbins was located in
Oklahoma by detectives. He was work
ing at his trade as a carpenter and
went under the name of Charles Jones.
When Robbins was arrested he insist
ed that his name was Jones and when
brought to Topeka. and confronted by
old acquaintance he still insisted that
his name was Jones. He was placed in
jail and he was taken to a photograph
gallery where his picture was taken in
various poses and the officers told long
stories of what q dangerous man they
had captured.
Robbins carpenter tools were brought
to Topeka and were kept at the office
OF the sheriff where they were fire.
Quently exhibited as instruments of a
safe cracker and bad man. Some Of the
tools looked as il they might have been
used by a burglar for there were steel
drills, large and small and other imple-
ments which were supposed to be used
in breaking locks.
All this time Robbins insisted that he
had not robbed the postofhces as charg
ed but every man who is arrested does
that so little attention was paid to him.
Time after time his case was continued
in the federal court and he insisted that
If the officers would write to q man he
named in California he would find that
at the time he was charged with burg
1arlzing the postofnces he was really
working in California
Finally Assistant District Attorney
H. J. Bone concluded to investigate the
Gated with the federal authorities in
California and the government. and
asked that a pOstoffice inspector be
sent to Catalina Island where Robbins
claimed to have worked in May, 1896,
and make inquiries. He did as request
ed and found a half dozen people who
said Robbins was really in California as
he claimed. Photographs were sent SO
that there could be no mistake in the
Identification.
Judge Foster came to his office in the
federal building late Wednesday after
noon and District Attorney Lambert
called up the Robbins case and recited
the facts as detailed above. Judge FOs-
ter Immediately instructed the clerk to
draw up an order for the discharge of
Robbins.
1t seems like the greatest travesty on
justice to keep q man locked up for
nearly a year and find out at last that
he has been accused un1ustly and that
his original statements were true. This
proves that even a man suspected of
crime sometimes tells the truth

BUTLER CONDEMNED
By Ex-Confederates for the Bill to
Pension Them.

New York, Dec. 29.-The following
resolution, offered by Comrade Beasley,
formerly Of North Carolina, was unani-
mously passed at a meeting of the con-
federate veteran camp of New York.
Resolved, That the Confederate Vet
eran Camp of New York condemns in
unmeasured terms the efforts of Senator
confederate veteran, to debauch the
manhood of the south by seeking to
obtain pensions for ex-confederate sol
diers from the United States, and that
any similar effort by any southern
member of congress will be abhorrent
to this camp and meets with unqualified
condemnation.
