MERE BOYS DID 1T.
-"Bandits" who Held Up the Burlington
Train Near sc. Joseph All Under Ar
reat-safe Was Not Opened.

St Joseph, Mo-. Aug. 13.-Five
young men raging in age from II to rs
years were arrested by the secret
service police, charged with being inn
plicated in the robbery of the Burling-
ton exposition flyer at Roy's branch
Thursday night. Their names are:
Charles Cook, Alonzo Arteburn, James
Hathaway, William Hathaway and
Herbert Donovan. James Hathaway
was day delivery clerk at the Western
Union Telegraph company's office. He
was the first TO be arrested and he
made n confession duplicating the
others. Hathaway says he conceived
the plot several days ago, after read
ing one OF the thrilling stories of "Old
Cap Collier The gang was not bent
on getting money so much as expert
ence for use in future. That is the
reason they did not take the express
safe away, so Hathaway says. The
safe was recovered near the scene of
the hold-up. IT had not been opened.

TWELVE TELEGRAMS AT ONCE.
Sent over One Wire by Twelve Trans
mItters-An Interesting
Experiment..

Experiments are AT present being
conducted on the Paris Bordeaux line
with some very interesting machines,
which the inventor, NJ. Mercadier, has
been working on for many years.
With these instruments, called duode-
caplcX, IL Morse transmitters can
work simultaneously on a single wire,
each sending its signals to the proper
receiver at the end ~ the line. This
result Is brought about by the use of
alternating, or at any rate, interrupt
ed currents.
Each transmittHr receives it's cur
rent through II tuning fork having
special note, its vibrations being elec-
trically maintained. These vibrations
furnish current of the proper peri
cd 10 cause resonance at each Gpplica-
tion in the proper receiving circuit,
which mas It's self induction and ca
pacity adjusted for this result. This
receiver is a telephone "a monotele-
phone. as it is called by NJ. Mercadier),
SO constructed and arranged that the
acoustic resonance qualities also help
10 damp out from the signals received
everything not intended for H., These
signals are read In the ordinary way
by ear, aided by rubber tubes like
these used on monographs. The sift-
ing out Of the signals. It seems, is very
perfect, each receiver giving no evil
dence Of those signals not intended for
it except a slight murmuring very
indefinite and not at all bothersome.-

English statistician, is clearly of the
opinion that no other nation compares

that go to make up aggregate wealth.
lie also notes the fact that while the
most of European countries have at

is apparently on the threshold of an

The San Francisco call., 1898-01-15

pecially have been unable to have that amount on hand at the time they need ed the bags. Hence it has been the rule for the farmers here to depend on a few of the largest dealers in grain bags for what they wanted in that line, knowing that the dealers would advance the sacks until the grain was sold.
 I have been assured that not more than one out of ten farmers in this part of the county makes it a custom to or der grain bags from San Quentin.
 It has been whispered that a large lot of grain bags was secured last summer from the San Quentin mills by a few dealers who expected to do an immense business in that line on account of the f1attering prospects for wheat. How they obtained the sacks is not exactly known. It is said that a good many bales are being carried over.
 Prices of sacks have varied here from as low as cents to as high as or g cents in the past four years. Most farmers agree that either the law or the management of the State product has not been entirely satisfactory.
 SONOMA, Jan. 14.-Some of the grain farmers here purchase their supply of sacks from San Francisco commission merchants, while others place their or ders with the home merchants. Owing to the relatively small amount of wheat raised there is no business house which keeps sacks on hand or makes a speciality of them. The price paid by the farmer for the prison-made sack, which is supposed to be 1 cent above cost. is the same as they pay for the imported Calcutta sack. No orders are sent direct to San Quentin Prison, as it was intended they should be when the Ostrom law was passed in 1893, and it appears as though the wholesaler is reaping the benefit instead of the farm CT. The business men of Sonoma said to-day that the sack business did not justify them bothering with it. F. T. Duhring, the, largest dealer here, hand led but 20O0 sacks last year.
 MT. Joseph Tate, who is connected with his father, MT. F. Tate, on one of the largest ranches in this valley, when speaking about the purchase of sacks, said that there was no difference in the price of prison sacks and those inn ported from Calcutta Last year they purchased their supply in San Francis co, and the price for the two makes was the same.
 By the passage of :he Ostrom law it was intended to protect the farmer against the high price of the imported Calcutta goods, and also give the pris- oner chance to earn his living, but when goods, upon which there is tar if, and in the manufacture of which labor has to be paid, is offered for sale at the same price as the prison-made article, where the labor is not paid, it is evident that the laws are not carried
