When the train slowed up at rail-

ton, near the northeastern limits OF
the city they climbed out of the car
and disappeared. Nothing was known
of the robbery until negro train por-
ter O. tered the car and found the help

They robbed the local safe and s.
cured 5000 or $500. The through safe
was not touched.
This is the sixth crime of the kind in

ARBITRATION olocREu r,.D.

Argentine Minister In Spain Makes De-
cision Against United states.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The cause of
arbitration in the settlement of claims
between nations has received severe
check in the award by the arbitrator in
the case of Oberlander and Messenger,
who claimed $4,000 and $4,000 re-
spectively for Entertainment by the Mex
lean authorities. The arbitrator was
the Argentine minister at Madrid, Senior
Quesada, and his decision was in favor
Of the Mexican government and against
the American claimants.
The discouraging feature of the de-
cislon is that i'll making the decision
the arbitrator apparently overlooked
every point of W, according to the
English standards, and ccided the
case with reference to his Os7hics
1t is said that a more t. rdlnary
opinion than this frem a ont of
view was never seen at tno ste de-
partment. Oberlander was aeauty
sheriff in California and he Was KID
mapped and taken across the border by
Mexican officers. Mrs. Messenger, in
whose house he had taken refuge, was
ill-treated
ion, the arbitrator, it is said, ignored
the facts and reasoned that because the
United States government had not rec
ognized the rights of the Chinese gov
eminent to indemnity for the killing of
Chinese at Rock Springs, Wy, while
insisting upon indemnity for losses sus-
tanned by American missionaries in
China, we could not expect to have an
indemnity awarded our citizens in such
cases as this. This peculiar lack of legal
perceptions is said, at the department,
to be almost without a parallel in the
history of arbitration. and has I'M
doubtedly done much to prevent the
submission of other claims to arbitra-
ton, unless it can first be known that
the arbitrator is familiar with the prin-
ciples of common law, according to the
English standards.

Uneasiness among savings bank depos-
itors over the war situation Is said by re-
eponslble Officers of this class of financial
Institutions to have shown itself in very
few Instances. and deposit receipts and
Withdrawals do not seem to be affected to
any greater extent during the war crisis
than might he looked for under condition
of AFFAIRS not involving matters of an in
ternational character.
A prominent savings bank secretary says
TO the New York Times in explanation of
the feeling existing there:
ut is hardly likely that savings bank de-
positors will take out their money in antici-
patton of using 1t in government bonds,
OF course, they are patriotic enough to do

TINT any bond issue that may come will 60

can say that depositors in savings institu-

war developments. Thsy send in their
money with the NE confidence that here
tnfore prevailed, ana when Withdrawals
